val of relay races held under the aus
pices Of the University of Pennsylvania
on Franklin field today, the wearers of
the blue winning the one-mile, the two
mile and fOur-mile championship relay

she is happy because one of her men

American champion hurdler, Jumpe1
"a feet 31s inches, breaking the American
record Of % feet SIS inches, held by Myer
Brinstein, of Syracuse university. The
la atter was also entered in the event,
but the best he could do was to jump
25 feet 21a inches Over 5000 persons at
tended the carnival of sports. 1t was a
great success, over eighty preparatory
schools and colleges being represented.
The greatest race of the day was the
one-mile college relay championship
There were three teams entered in the
event, Yale, Pennsylvania and Chicago
university. 1t was q most exciting con-
test between the two first teams. Glea-
son, of Yale, just beat out Cook, or
Pennsylvania, in the first quarter. The
runners in the next quarter were Luce
for Yale and Kraenzlein for Pennsyl-
vania. 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 twen-
ty yards. The final quarter was very
exciting, the spectators rising and yell
ing like mad. The fleet Twekesbury, for
Pennsylvania, by magnificent oash'
almost 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 mile had been run.
In the two-mile and sfour-n1ile relay
championships Yale's men got good
lead early, and won both events rather
easily The one-mile relay race be-
tween Columbus, Cornell and Lafayette
was also a good contest, the Columbia
team winning by small margin.
There was more than dozen one
mile relay races between colleges and
preparatory schools and many Of them
