HARD LUCK FOR
PENN TEAMS IN
RELAY DRAWING
However, Meredith De-
clares the Red and Blue
Will Overcome 1t
EVENTS ARE DISCUSSED
BY TED MEREDITH
Captain Of Penn Track Team.

With the drawing of positions from the
pole for the relay races comes our first
blow Of the season. Pennsylvania seems
to have been almost the last to come out
in nearly every event, but those who know
how these races scatter after the first
man has run his race will not allow these
drawings to forry them very much. The
only one which will really do us any
great or measurable damage is our ttth
place in the one-mile race. But even this
looks worse than It is, for while we are
nth, It is hardly likely that more than
five or six teams will enter this event
I don't believe any team which has not
shown close to 1870 mile would have
any chance in this race they will have to
do $500 to get third place
In the two and four mile events our
chances are not made a bit harder by an
outside position than IL we had the pole
In fact, / am glad we are where we are
in those races. Our men on those teams
are green and will have some one out in
front at the start who will set the pace
while If they were on the pole they iether
have to set it themselves or get boxd
WIN the outsiders rush in for the pole
This happened to me once. in 1914. at
Cambridge, in the intercollegiate half
didn't want the pole so didn't go out after
the pole, the result being l was the last
man around the first turn. The pole Ia
all right If you want to set the pace, but
II not / raher have an ouside position.
Harvard is virtually the pole team,
for Kansas City will probably not be on
for this race. This gives Harvard n shade
over us at the start, but I hardly think
1t will be enough to win for them. Our
runners are good bunch in getting away
DOgitiOn 40
soon after the race is under way
Our men are going in great shape now.
Yesterday they all turned out, after their
work in the preliminary meet of Saturday
and Sundays rest looking better than
ever, and in spite of soggy track took
good workout The most pleasing
thing to Doc Orton's eye yesterday was
the way Jimmy Peeso was running. Peeso,
who has been off form since his freshman
year, due to strained back, has been
declared all right again by his doctor and
looks like the miller he was in 1914.

shouted. He's hanging on the ropes and

at his face! It's so white that you can't

The man was right. Mr.. Hinden was

distorted and he looked like volunteer

did was to stand in the corner and suffer.
Herman put on the first part of his act
in the third bout, scheduled to start at
$3.50 p. M, every man his own referee.
The Hinden entry, Joe Tuber by name,
carrying l09 pounds, appeared to do bat

nor face changed in appearance until the
battle was over Borrell had been declared

Just Minute
According to n story published in

Johnny Ertle are to mingle at the Olympia
some time next month. According to
the article, the bantams are ready to set
tie their long-standing argument, and all
the preliminary work has been done by
Harry Edwards, who now is sojourning at
Hot Springs. But this is only news

thing else to say about it.
Nothing to it," he said II admit that
I have been after the match for months.
and when I learned that Ertle and his
manager were at Hot Springs | wrote to
Mr. Edwards and asked him 10 see what
he could do understand Williams wants
to weigh in at 11S pounds, while Ertle is
holding out for 116. Until that question is
settled. nothing will be done. would like
to stage the match, for 1t would be a
feature event, and l like to put on shows

All of which goes to show that the
challenger now is the important guy In
championship matches, CLANCY is dictat-
ing to Kilbane, and Ertle is putting the
same stuff over on WILLIAMS.
