this afternoon under nearly ideal condi-
tons
Much had been expected OF the western
universities, which had entered teams In
the championship contests. but Mike
Muphy's men upset all calculations. car
ryIng on the one, two and four mile relay
races.
From every point of view. except that OF
record breaking performances, the games
were the best that have taken place on
Franklin Field for d long time. Despite
the fact that no records were broken, the
performances were excellent Nearly every
race was hard fought. and there were many
''heartbreakinsf' finishes that Brought the

TEX" Rarn5deI the renowned Quaker
football fuIIback, made a, brilliant showing
in his first big track meet He carried Off
the 1O0-yard dash in 0:10 is. after winning
two heats, the first in 010 fat, and then
finished up the afternoon by winning the

ers. His time IN his quarter vas 0:49 rs.
the fastest made during the afternoon
The most impressive contest was the
programme. The PennsyIvanians were con-
ceded to have a remarkably strong team.
but not even the most ardent supporters
of the Red and Blue supposed that the
team Murphy had selected would run rings
around the other teams and finish a hun
dred yards or more in the lead. But after
the first relay had been run, in which
lowering beat Fleming, the Cornellian. by
a good ten yards, there was no doubt as to
the outcome.
Michigan was not in the running at that
point. and Dartmouth was so far out OF
it as TO be hopelessly beaten The end Of
the second mile showed Penns superiority
even more. for Boyle let himself out and
covered the distance in All Cornell still
dogged tenaciously along. now thirty yards
IN the ruck, although Young worked hard
TO catch the fleet quaker.
De Golyer was no match for Baker in the
third relay, and Billy PAUL. the intercol-
legtate champion miller, took up the task
in the last mile fifty yards or so IN the van.
Dell Bcrna. the intercollegiate 'cross-coun-
try champion. was pitted against the little
PennGyfvanian. but he made no showing at
all. Paul Just frisked along, getting over
the first half mile in 2:07 3-5. He had al
found that May. the Michigan distance
star. was making strong bid for second
place. Thereafter Berna had 10 run hts
best to stave off the Wolverine.
This left PAUL unchaNensed and he
dashed OFF as If on an exhibition run, fiji
ishing with a furlong spurt. Berna, one
by a couple of yards. while Noyes. the
Dartmouth runner. was half a lap IN the
rear.
The Quakers came within one-ffth of
second Of equalling the intercollegiate rec
ord for the two-rniIe race. The time was
SOC 3-5, and this. together with the victory,
was the more surprising because it was
unexpected. except probably to Mike
Murphy. He, too. may have been surprised
because he had said that he was saving his
best men for the four-rl!Ie race.

closely to Jones. The third relay was q
splendid struggle, both Putnam, Moakiey's
latest "hnd," and Foster putting I'D a
magnificent exhibition The Ithacan, how
ever, had a shade the better OF It, and

The husky Cornell man had strength

who followed Foster, ran like a machine
It was probably De Golyer's knowledge OF
his greater strength that led TO his un-
doing, for he set the pace at a terrific clip
Church. however. ran right after him, con-
serving every ounce OF his energy. The
last lap saw the Ithacan forging along
some half dozen yards ahead. But he was
overrunins himself, and the PhiladeIpbis
boy caught and passed him twenty yards
from the tape, breaking the wors,ed IN the
most exciting finish OF the day.
