As II was he made up two yards on the
feet footed Keller. of Cornell. and was
beaten for first place by only a foot I'm
Q As seconds. few minutes later he
loafed through the quarter-mile .un which
he won in % seconds. five yards i'm ad-
vance Of Cozzens, OF Cornell He won the
22O-yard dash I'm q 3-5 seconds with nearly
two yards TO sua-e.
His work was all the more remarkable
when It is considered that all the races
were run in a steady rain on a track
which had been water soaked.
The most sensational race of the after
noon was tie two-mile run. In which the
Judges gave the decision 10 Speiden. OF

tire distance. McCurdy doing most Of the
pacemaking. Speiden moved up on the
last lap and POO yards from home had
lead of two yards. Then McCurdy sprint
ed and was almost on even terms when
the two turned into the home stretch.

snatched IL from him by few inches.
Fifteen yards from the tape both men
began TO wabble Speiden was possibly
half foot in the lead and two yards from
the tape he lost control OF himself ana
rltched forward on his face. McCurdy
was likewise all ir and he fell fraction
Of a second later.
According to Amateur Athletic Union
rules McCurdy would have been declared
the winner because he struck the tape
first. but the new intercollegiate Assocla-
ton of Amateur Athletes rule passed III
February provides that the finish line Is
a line on the ground and that the winner
shall be the man whose torso as olstiH-
guished from his arms or head touches
or crosses" this line first. The judges
ruled that Speiden first touched TINS line
with his body. Therefore they gave MN
tho race. The time. which was minutes
3 seconds was wonderful considering the
condition of the track. l'dhsheI' VI tehi-
sylvania, was third.
