GRADUATE RACE
AT PENN GAMES
ROUSES INTEREST
Meredith, Riley, Caldwell
and Possibly Jones
May Take Part

The graduate race which was put on
the indoor intercollegiate programme
instead of the 24-lap team race prom
ises to be one of the most interesting
events of the meet to be held at Phila-
delphia on the evening of March B.
Cornell, Pennsylvania. Harvard and
Dartmouth have already entered teams.
Some Of the greatest athletes Of the
last two years will be seen on these
teams.
Meredith will, of course, be on Penn
sylvania's quartet. Riley, of Dart
mouth, who was SECOND to Meredith IN
the intercollegiate quarter last year,
will run. while Cornell will have Cald-
well as its speediest representatives
Il Is possible that John Paul Jones,
who has not run since he made the IN
tercollegiate mile record in 1913, may
put on his shoes again and take part
in this event q,
Entries for the relay race carnival
have been received from more than
sixty colleges, including many OF the
Western institutions. The schools
that have accepted invitations number
more than one hundred. Reports from
the West are generally TO the effect
that that section of the country viii
be REPRESENTED by better teams than
ever before. Wisconsin and Missouri
both expect TO have one-mile relay
teams that will be able 10 run close
to the record.
Missouri Team Dangerous
Missouri will be especially danger
Gus. as it has in Daggy runner VINO
scored in the Western Conference
meet, and in Wyatt the winner OF the
Missouri intercollegiate. In addition
there are Neydorp, another 6O-seeond
man, and Pittam, who is fast quarter
miller. This team should do at least
minutes 20 seconds, which will tax
the capabilities Of Harvard, Princeton
and Pennsylvania, the three Eastern
teams that promise to be the speedlest.
Chicago University is planning 70
bring East a four-mile relay team.
Coach Stage knows the calibre of the
Eastern auartets and he undoubtedly
has a good lot of distance men TINS
wear or ne would not desire to compete
in this event. In Tenney, Coach Stage
feels that he has the coming distance
star of the West Snyder, Otis anC
Jones have made the best showing oil
tho other men to date, though a large
number are training for the event.
II is vet too early TO say much about
the Eastern teams, but Cornell ana faie
should have fast quartets, and Pennsyl-
vania will doubtless be as strong as
usual. Cornell has probably the best
squad of distance men, and they Will
nrobablv be the ones 10 make It inter
esting for Chicago.
The Middle Atlantic States Collegiate
Athletic Association, at recent meet
ing. formally requested Pennsylvania
70 nut on a one-mile relay champion
shin for this organization. The re-
quest was granted and the event Will
he held on Saturday. This race should
be one Of the best on the programme,
IA the association includes such col
leges as New York University, Swarth-
more, Fordham, Johns Hopkins, Hayer-
ford, Lehigh, Rutgers and Lafayette.
