the mastery began.
Eller had many friends in the hou ,
and they rooted wildly for their favor
tie TO cut down the lead. McCue, a
long-hmbed athlete, never gave Eller a
chance, however, and ran him of his
feet, finishing the third relay some ten
yards 60 the good.

took up the running for his team in the
final relay. Egan had a lead which he
promptly proceeded TO increase by
leaps and bounds, crossing the finish
line fully twenty yards ahead of Merz.
