year, ruled the favorite, with Captain
Bell Of Maine, Tucker Of Dartmouth, Pot
ter OF Wesleyan and Thompson Of Colby
as the men most likely to place.
1t was when the third lap started that
Bell Of Maine began to exhibit his real
speed. Coming from eighth position he
raced through the field and took the lead
from Potter. AS he started his squirt
Brown Of Tech also unloosened and de-
spite Bells efforts to shake him Brown
held to Bells shoulder throughout the
third lap. and, when the fourth started,
attempted to pass the Maine captain.
The latter took up the challenge and no
better scrap for the distance ever figured
In a New England intercollegiate mile
run than that which ensued. Four times
the Tech man seemed about to pass the
Maine track captain, but just as he would
start the necessary squirt Bell himself
would unloose a similar one Browns
most desperate effort was made on the
final turn as the pair approached the
stretch. 1t proved insufficient and the
hopelessness of attempting to better Bell
dawned upon Brown, causing him to loaf

order Of finishing was Bell of Maine,
Brown Of Tech. Tucker of Dartmouth and
Thompson Of Colby. The time by quar-
ters was I'm. 3s.; Pm. 16s.; 3m 26s. Am.

Savage Of Bowdoin in his semi final
heat found the favorite out of the race
in the 120yard high hurdles final, the
starters in which were Trenholm and
Grady Of Dartmouth, French of Maine
and Pollard Of Brown. With Savage
out Of it Trenholm and Grady shared
favorite honors.
Pat" French failed to be annoyed
by Dartmouth favoritism, contrary, he
decided to demonstrate that favoritism
often is misplaced, and he did so by
jumping into the leai at the very first
hurdle and maintaining his position,
although by slight margin to the
finish.

the Maine captain, Bell, in the $50
Higgins lessened his pace, and while
he and Bell continued more casually
Riley and Holbrook moved closer to
them. When there was but 200 yards
to run Bell uncorked a squirt which
he figured would carry him past the
Holy Cross star. Higgins answered
with similar spurt, however, and

yards. Bell was second, and Riley
having already won first, dropped
back to fourth and allowed his team
mate Holbrook to score third. The
time was Pm, 3-5s.

star, Kelly. earned the position in the
% For three-quarters Of the dis
tance, he and Rice ran neck and neck
with the remaining entSies three, four
and five yards in the ruck. Then as in
the century dash, Kelly began to
forge ahead gradually, winning the
event by the same margin he had won
the 100-yard dash, and in the new rec
ord time of 81 2-5s. Rice was second.
