LEHMAN VICTOR
IN ST. PETERS
CLUB ROAD RUN
Eddie Mayo Captures Fast
Time Prize-Y. M. II. A.
Wins Team HOnOrS
By A. c. CAVAGNARO

The official opening of the road and
'cross-country running season took
place yesterday, when field OF lo4
competed in the fve-mile handicap
event held by the st. Peters Club, OF
Jersey City. The large entry included
many of the clubs Of Greater New
York. A remarkable feature Of this
first race was the small number OF attn
letes who failed to finish.
Eddie Mayo, Of the Brooklyn Athletic
Association, came home a victor from
the scratch mark, capturing the fast
time prize. He finished in forty-eighth
position. his actual running time being
q minutes z seconds. William Ken
nedy. the former Chicago athlete,
started from the same mark, but Mayo
soon left HIM behind. The Brooklyn
youngster made most OF his running
during the return journey.
The individual honors fell to EDDIE
Lehman, of the Morningside Athletic
Club, who has been touted by his club
mates as a strong contender for CHAM
pionship honors. Starting from the
3:15 allowance post, Lehman stayed
behind the pacemakers until half lap
from home, when he sprinted to the
front and crossed the finish line, with
much to spare. His actual time for
the distance was % minutes IA seconds.
The next to finish, in order, were
Bert Masterson, Swedish-American
Athletic Club; Eddie Walsh, Irish
American Athletic Club; Peterson,
Swedish American Athletic Club, and
Harry Vongelder, unattached, all OF
whom received prizes. From a few
blocks beyond the start up to the time
that Lehman showed in front, the held
followed the pace of Masterson. How
ever. the fleet Swede fell behind when
Lehman sprinted as he came down
Mercer Street.
Team honors went to the Ninety

total was 40 points. In second place
was the Paulist Athletic Club, with 81

up to the expectations Of their sup
porters.
Harvard's aggressiveness and gen.
eralship appeared 10 take all the snap
and strategy out of the visitors early
in the game, and the longer the con-
test continued the worse the Red and
White played. The Cornell eleven did
not appear to have any settled plan of
campaign, was slow and uncertain in
running off its plays and the handling
of the ball was little short of atrocious.
The Crimson, on the other hand, while
still crude, showed another Haughton
machine in the making, and one that
promises to be worthy rival for both
Princeton and Yale when these teams
are met later in the season.
Next to the Harvard Cornell game,
chief interest centred in the play of
Princeton and Yale, and while both
teams came through to victory the
showing of the Tigers was not by any
means as convincing as that Of the
Els.
Princeton managed to win from Dart
mouth by the margin of four points,
but it was due to the prowess Of an in
dividual player, as has frequently
been the case in the past. As a team,
the Hanover eleven was the better, and
before its attack the Tiger offence and
defence were far from what must be
developed if Princeton is to win from
its New Haven and Cambridge rivals.
Yale, on the other hand, showed a
continuance of the gradual improve
ment being made under the coaching
Of Tad Jones. In defeating Washing
ton and jefferson decisively the Blue
made marked progress, for the Penn
sylvanian combination plays game
hard to hold in CHECK.
The gridiron juggernaut built up at
the University of Pittsburgh rolled
over Pennsylvania without being seri-
ously threatened at any time. The
Quakers were unable to cope with the
speed and all-round superiority of the
Painters.
Both the Army and Navy teams
found little difficulty in disposing of

Both Individual BrillianCy
and Team Work Had
Their Reward

Football play which swept through
the gridiron gamut from superlative to
mediocre and was interpreted with
thrills marked the weekend games
wherever Eastern elevens competed.
Not in many years has single day
developed such remarkable series of
contests, and veteran followers of the
sport cannot recall an afternoon when
spectacular features were so frequent.
Not all the play, however, can be
classified as approaching football per-
lection, and almost without exception
the competing elevens showed that an
other two or three weeks would be re-
ouired to put the teams on edge for
the games which mark the climax OF
the season.
In some cases the winning teams
were victorious through the play OF
the combinations as whole, while in
others the individual brilliancy Of one
or two players or a lucky break in the
game was the margin between victory
and defeat.
! Still another development Of the
days play was the demonstration that
no team, however big or powerful, can
! hope to win from O rival of reasonable
strength with an attack based entirely
upon the old school methods of ad-
vancing the ball.
In d broad view Of Saturdays con-
tests it will be seen that, almost with
out exception, the team which showed
an attack evenly divided between line
plunging and skirting, coupled with q
perfected overhead offence, was the
one which emerged the victor.
As was true a week ago, the outcome
Of the majority Of the games was fore
cast with more than ordinary accuracy
but in several cases elevens failed to
play up to the form expected. This
was particularly true of Cornell, which
went down before Harvard by a sur
prisingly one-sded score. With one
Of the biggest and most powerful teams
that has entered the Cambridge sta
dunn in many seasons, and with the
wagering 8 TO 4 in their favor, the
