The Illinois team was by far the best
balanced aggregation and clinched the
meet by winning the relay race from
Chicago
When the relay race was started IL
linois had 81 points and stanford %.
A victory for the Pacific coast athletes
would have swung the honors for the
Stanfords, but the first two runners,
StoItz and Scott, dropped so far behind
that it was impossible for the two
speedy westerners, Miller and Wyman
to put the team back into the race
Illinois scored in all except four of the
Is events on the program. Stanfords
men had more individual stars than
any other team, as they secured five
firsts. Stanford won the $40 yard DASH

mer throw and the shot put. Two Stan
ford athletes-Ford and Miller-were
individual holders with 10 points each.

mer throw. while Miller captured the
quarter and half mile runs. No records
were broken. Crawford came within

the early part when ,Stfube scored an
unexpected victorys in the 100 yard
dash in easy fashion in 1915. His
Terminate finished third and this gave
Chicago six points in ansevent in which
1T hardly happened to score
Chicago was in the running until the
two mile run was decided. StopIet. their
star distance runner, was counted upon
as certain winner in this event Stoplet
took the lead according to his usual
custom. but TflIotson of Michigan Agri-
cultural, at the beginning OF the sixth
lap. jumped into the lead and won the
race by large margin.
The quarter mile run was easy for
Miller of Stanford, but Hanley. the
captain of the victorious Illinois team.
nosed out Wyman of Stanford for sec
ond place. The half mile was another
feather in MilIer's cap, as he easily de-
feated Hull of Minnesota and Roher of
Illinois
The pole vault was another Stanford
triumph, Scott taking the honors. He
vaulted IL feet 10 inches and tried TO
do better in an exhibition after the
event, but failed Rogers of Chicago
