What will probably be one Of the big
gest hits of the affair is the special five
mile match race between three Of the
speediest distance runners in the coun-
try. They are Tewanina- Drisco1l and
Lee. The first is none other than the
red-skin phenom who ran on the Ameri-
can team in the London Marathon last
summer. finishing among the first twenty
five. His recent victory in New Orleans
showed that he had greatly improved
since his performance in the international
classic. Dr1scoll is the New York lad

his clever work in the metropolis, while
Lee. who halls from beantown, carries
the title Of junior cross-country cham
pion
By adding the Yale relay four to the
two-mile event originally scheduled for
Pennsylvania and Cornell, Manager Cor
coran has programmed a race second to
none. The New Havenites were ortg1-
nally matched against the Tigers, but
the latter were compelled to withdraw
on account of two of their best men be-
ing declared Ineligible by the Princeton
faculty
The Blue and Gray bunch of runners

In order that the spectators will not
be inconvenienced by the presence OF a
number of useless officials on the floor all
honorary and petty offices have been left
untitled. Moreover, two announcers will
be on hand to give out the results through
megaphones. while an automatic bulletin
board will be operated in a conspicuous
place.

reached large proportions, thus insuring a
record-breaking crowd. In order that
none will go away disappointed every at
traction will be added to the already
lengthy list that can possibly augment an
excellent display Of athletic talent
