on Franklin Field this afternoon, defeating
Pennsylvania in the most spectacular race
seen ia years In the splendid time OF IL 30.
The Cornell quartet ran as no team has
ever run before. and it's fourth member
won by forty Yards from the onetime peer
less Billy PAUL. the Quakers' last and best
man in the race.
To J. p. Jones and Tell Berna goes the
credit for the wonderful performance, FOR
II was due more to their faultless running
than 10 any other factor that the Ithacans
we're able 10 do so we'll. With lead OF
seventy FIVE yards to be overcome Berna
made a wonderful effort in his relay, and
managed 70 cut the Quakers' advantage
down TO ten yards. Then Jones took up
! the running against PAUL. and In the last
quarter mile Of the race ran al around the
speedy Quaker. and won by nearly forty
yards.
The Quakere went off in the lead az the
outset Boyle. the first Of the Penn CON
tngent, worsting Hirger TO the extent or
twenty wards Then Wolfe took up the run

BOYLE had handed on for something more
than half mile, when he eased out his
stride, and finished his mile full seventy
five Yards ahead Of Putnam, the Ithacans
second man Wolle's time for the mile
was i:2q. and Boyle had done his in i:3l Is,
so that the first two miles werc covered In
q fraction Of n second over nine minutes.

string. and his lead over Berna seemed in

speed he had been holding In reserve.
Every stride saw him cut down the QUA
ker's lead and he finished his bit just ten
yards behind lowering in the fast time OF
4.22. Then II was PAUL. and Jones TO the
fore PAUL tried hard. but he couldn't
gain n mite on the Cornell man. and the
two ran stride for stride, not more than
dozen yards apart, for the greater part or
! the distance. 1t was not until ne had
begun the last lap that Jones showed any
disposition to let himself out.
With scarcely a visible effort he took
/ fresh grip and in Hash was on even
terms with PAUL The little Quaker tried
! hard TO meet the challenge, but after hfty

drop back, and Jones went out TO the lead

Tho new record made by the Cornell
! four dsplaces the old mark for the distance
made in 1909 by the Irish American Ath-
| letic club team, and it also betters the
| intercollegiate record Of 1919 % made last
! year by Michigan.
The expected bitter struggle In the two
| mile championship contest was not forth
coming because OF the uou-appearance Of
the Cornell Harvard and Virginia teams.
| As q result only Pennsylvania, Illinois and
| Princeton faced the starter. The Quakers
had the race won from the start, and
made tho record time OF 500 %. The only
contest was the struggle for second place,
between Illinois and Michigan. The West
erners and Fitzpatrick's men ran stride
for stride most Of the way but in the last
half mile. Cope. tho Illinois man, proved
stronger than McKinny. of Princeton. and
finished second some sixty yards behind
Foster. of Pennsylvania.
There was lots of excitement IN the one
mile championship. however. the title

trouble in overlooking Floss, of Syracuse.
The Chicago team stayed right out in
front although IL wasn't able to draw
away an inch throughout the third relay
Davenport, the Conference flyer, taking up
the burden I'm the last lap FOR the Windy
city team, had no trouble in opening up a
good-size gap. although IN the last few
Yards Craig, Of Michigan. came very fast
and beat ont Nixon, OF Cornell for the
place
The honors in the special events we're
very unevenly divided, the Western repre-
sentatiyes getting all but four OF the first
places. Chisholm and Gardner of Yale,
lived M 20 all that had been expected OF
them. Chisholm winning the high hurdles
in 10 As seconds and Gardner taking the
pole vault with leap of Il feet inches.

looked on as an almost certain winner in
the hundred, was completely shut out In
