pionships on Franklin Field last spring
Whitman won the quarter mile in 40 3-5
seconds, and as he was half-miler before
he was put at the sprints he has plenty Of
staying powers for the quarter. Bonsack
likewise has a record of 40 3-5 seconds for
the quarter mile, which he made at the re-
lays year ago.
II these four men should equal their
previous records in this relay race they
would lower the world record for this event
to minutes IS 2-5 seconds, just 10 sec
onds better than the previous figures estab-
lished in 1902 by a team made up of Rust,
Shick, Lightner and Willis. This would
make each member of PENIS relay team
run an average Of 40 3-5 seconds for each
quarter. 1t should not be understood that
Trainer Mike Murphy. or any other critic,
is foolish enough to believe that the Penn
sylvania team will make such wonderful
time as this. The relays are held right In
the middle Of the training season, and al
though important are not to be considered
as in the same class with the intercollegi-
ate track and field championships month
later. Mike Murphy is too wise trainer
to think Of jeopardizing his chances for
this meet by hurrying his men that they
might make record in the relays. He
would sooner lose every event on the relay
program than one at the Intercollegiate.

DISMISSED ON TECHNICALLY.
Sequel to Petition of Creditors of
New England Breeders Club.

EXETER, N. H, March 1.-The petition
of the creditors of the New England
Breeders Club. which last year built and
operated race tracks at Salem, asking that
the club be declared insolvent and a re-
ceiver appointed, was dismissed on a techni-
cality by Judge Hoyt In the probate court
here today.
In announcing his decision Judge Hoyt
stated that while the club was Incorporated
partly for improving the breed of horses, it
was practically an an sement enterprise,
and as such was without the operation Of
the national bankruptcy act. This act, he
stated, makes no provision whereby cor
poration engaged in an amusement enter
prise can either voluntarily cd Involuntary
become bankrupt.
After Judge Hoyt's decision had been
given 1t was announced that one of the
creditors would apply to the United States
courts to secure an opinion on the issue
raised by Judge Hoyt
