the previous contest. The winners of the
first contest were Edward Tibbetts and

2lA seconds third, Ira Chamberlain and
Fred Policy, time, 25 seconds; fourth, Win
fired Delphy and Thomas Mann, time,
271s seconds.

contest as all three teams were eXcep-
tionally fast and were it not for little
accidental delays much faster time
