Unsatisfactory conditions initiated against

ners and Jumpers fell with a suddenness
and frequency that would have done credit
to class Of beginners on roller skates.
An Illustration was the dual relay between
Fordham and Holy Cross, which had 10 be
started over again.
The distance was a mile, and both uni
versities had out their lest teams. At the
gun McKenna, the Holy Cross sprlnter
slipped, and when he got into his stride
McCanrey was yards in front. Trying to
take the first turn McKenna almost fell
and a few seconds later he practically
stopped. The officials then called halt, and
after McKenna got another pair OF shoes
a new start was made.
This time ne did better. so that McCaf-
frey only managed to give For5ham a
two-yard lead az the end OF the first relay.
JOY, for Holy Cross, raced 10 the front
IN the next quarter, but his Slight lead was
wiped out when the speedy Chapman took
up the running for Fordham. This prom
isng sprinter gained 25 yards for his team
and practically won the race, as Walsh
hnished about that distance in front of the
Holy Cross athlete in the final quarter.
