Fast Splinter Equals Two
Marks, but One Is Only
a Phantom.
NINETY YARDS RUN
IN NINE AND FIJI I'll
Hargrave's Old Outdoor Mark
for 105 Yards Is Equalled
at 22d Regiment.
By HAYWOOD BROJN.

Howard Drew worried two records
at tho games Of Fordham University
in the 22d Regiment Armory last night.
lie ran the 9O-yard dash in nine and
one-ffth seconds, and this equals the
best time made indoors Drew shares
the record with himself His previous
ninety-yard flight was in Brooklyn late
in the indoor season Of 1914.
Drew did not stop nor slacken much
sfter running 80 yards. but kept on 10
yards further In doing so ne dis
,urbed a musty old record. Back in
1901 y. II. Harcrave. OF Yale. conceived
;he quaint notion OF running 100 yards.
He did so at Berkeley oval. and his
Tine WAS 1925 seconds. Drew's time
last night was 1923 seconds. har-
grave was a remarkable Splinter. and
his time for the distance IS excep-
tionaly good. Drew's performance m
doors is even better, although 1t IL well

AZ the 22d Regiment Armory are not
exactly in accordance win the usual
customs Of indoor meets. since the run
rers get away from starting board.

boards ana spikes and none IL appre-

little difficulty il defeating Morse and

took second place from Looms rather
easily.
