CARRIES OFF HONORS IN THE
RELAY RACES
Held Under the Auspices of the
University of Pennsylvania on
Franklin Field.

PHILADELPHIA, April %. Yale
carried off the honors at the annual
carnival of relay races held under the
! auspices of the University on Franklin
field to-day, the wearers of the blue
winning the one-mile, two-mile and
four-mile championship relay races. AL
| though pennsylvania was disappointed
| in the outcome of these events, she is
happy because one of her men now
holds the broad jump record. A. c..
Kraenzelene, who is also the American
champion hurdler, jumped "a feet 49,
inches, breaking the American record
of % feet Sk inches held by Meyer
Prinstein OF Princeton. The latter was
also entered in this event. but the best
he could do was % feet 211b inches.
Over 5000 persons attended the car
nival of sports. 1t was great success,
over eighty preparatory schools and
colleges being represented The greatest
race of the day was the one-mile col
lege relay championship. There We're
three teams entered in the event, Yale
Pennsylvania and Chicago University.
1t was a most exciting contest between
the first two teams. Gleason of Yale
just beat out Cooke of Pennsylvania in
the first quarter.
The runners in the next quarter were
Luce for Yale and Kraenzelene for
Pennsylvania The latter made up the
ground lost by his predecessor but soon
played out, and when the third pair of
men took up the running Yale had a
lead of twenty yards.
The final quarter was very exciting,
| the spectators rising and yelling like
, mad. The fleet Tewkesbury, of Penn
sylvania, by magnificent dash, al
most caught Boardman Yale's fourth
runner. The distance was too great,
however, and the Yale man won the
quarter and the race by about ten
yards.
The Chicago University men could
not stand the great pace, and were out
of it after a half-miles had been run.
In the two-mile and four mile relay
championship, Yale's men got a good
lead early, and won both events rather
easily.
The one-mile relay race between Col
umbia, Cornell and Lafayette was also
a good contest. the Columbia team
winning by a small margin.

mile relay races between colleges and
preparatory schools, and many of them
