YALE SWEEPS TANK G[SSING TO RESCUE
CLOSES Il HUGE GAP.
Pulls Ont Relay Race at the
Wandmaker Games.

One of the largest crowds ever seen at
the sth Regiment Armory turned out for
the John Wanamaker Association games
last night, and those in attendance were
we'll repaid. Early in the evening Charles
Clark, of the I'D Regiment, won a heat
from scratch In the 60-yard Military Ath-
letic League handicap in the fast time of
6S-5 seconds While this equalled the rec
ord for that league. Clark got naught save
honor, as he was shut out in semi-ffnal
heat
With those redoubtable runners J. J. Nc
Entee and Harry Gissing competing on
the Wanamaker team in the commercial
relay race. that event received more than
passing notice. The distance was a mile
with the Wanamaker quartet on scratch.
Gardner and kiviat carried the maroon
and white in the first two quarters, but
even then it did not seem possible to over
take the O'Neill & Adams team. which
had an allowance of thirty yards
McEntee strobe out in his quarter and
gained considerably on Frisby, but when
Gissing took up the running for the Wana-
maker team he had fully fifteen yards to
make up. Rounding the last turn, Gissing
caught Edwards, and. amid warwhoop of
encouragement, tie winged foot flyer won
by fully five yards.
kilograms of congratulations and regrets
were read during the evening. One which
had been sent to Harry Hillman read to
the effect that the former amateur cham
pion had won the hearts of the entire John
Wanamaker Association and that there
was a special trophy waiting for him.
Later on dispatch received from
Hillman, who explained that he could not
attend because of being snowbound among
the hills OF New Hampshire.
Apropos of prizes, the list presented an
odd contrast TO the stereotyped medals
Gathered in mass on a table were
trophies ranging from handsome bronze
pieces down to cigarette cases, cuff but
tons. bags and safety razors
The decorations were attractive. consist
Ing of American flags draped from the
large number of brightly gowned women
lent color to the scene. In addition to the
regular programme OF athletic events were
a basketball game and potato race
