"Ted" Did Not Fall for
the Old Tricks of Mel
Sheppard in R a C e
That Won Him Fame

DATRlOT1SM is seldom thought of as
L the motive power In athletics, but it
was a prime factor in one OF the greatest
middle distance races on record. The
event was the combination S00-metres and
half-mile run at the Olympic Games in
Stockholm In 1912. and Ted Meredith, the
present captain of the University of Penn
sylvania track team was the hero.
At that lime Meredith WIS a student
at Mercersburs Academy. lie had won
n good deal of fame by running quarter
mile in As AS seconds and a half mile
in 1:55 l-J But the old-timers were sure
that his 'incNpeTienCe would be fatal to
him at Stockholm. When the runners
toed the mark for the final heat of this
event it was the consensus of opinion
that the fight would be between Mel
sheppard Ira Davenport and Hans Braun
of Germany, with Meredith. the schoolboy,
a possible contender.
Sheppard jumped into the front at the
start and took the pOle, followed by
Meredith and braun. Sheppard was llp to
his old trick of setting n killing pace at
the start then TO gradually slow down
in order that his phenomenal sprint
might beat the field at the finish. But he
had beaten Meredith with these tactics
once before and the Mercersburg boy
was waiting for him. Meredith moved
up determined TO take the pace the mo-
ment sheppard slowed down, With two
such men as Meredith and Braun at his
shoulder Sheppard did not dare to slacken
speed with the result that he continued
TO ret the pace and made the first quarter
in the phenomenal time of so seconds.
The men remained in this order until u
yards from home. Meredith never sup
posed that he had n chance to win. and,
as he said afterward, was satisfied so
long as the winner was an American
