Bulldogs With Cornell Cap
ture Lions Share in Indoor
Events at Philadelphia

Philadelphia, March 8. - The very
cream of college athletes competed in
the third annual indoor games of the
intercollegiate A. A. A. A, held at
the Commercial Museum Saturday
night. Champions and near-cham-
pions were conspicuous among the
contenders for honors in the early
events, in which the athletes OF Yale
and Cornell carried off the lions share
of the honors.
The siX-lap relay, the first of the
nights series, was Veritable JOY rae
for YaleS famous quartet OF Role.
Ireland. Cooper and Overton, which
disposed of Penn State and PennsylVa-
mia, tAe only other starters, IN easy
fashion. State finished in the runner
up position, a half lap to the bad
while the Red and Blue hopes, out
claSsed at every angle, were lap
and some fifty yards to the rear when
Overton, Yale's great star flashed
across the finish in 8 minutes 50 As
seconds
Bulldogs Have Runaway
The Bulldogs, with practically the
same team lineup that won last year S
event, went out with the sound of the
gun to make a runaway of it and well
they succeeded. Yale placed depend
ence on Rolfe to bring the New Haven
INSTITUTION III lTOlI III llle III ISlaS
and it's trust was not i'll placed. Nor
ris, of Penn, and Shea, of State, We're
not in the same class with the Yale
runner and gave out trying to follow
him after the second lap, to engage
in a two-cornered battle for second
place.
Price, of the Red and Blue. and
Whiting, of State, staged fairly even
battle in the second relay, but thence
forth Zutter and Humphreys, of Penn,
did not have look-in with Foster and
Shields the State flyers, who man
aged to to keep their Yale opponents
at least in sight. while Penn fell grad
ually further and further to the rear
Penn Leads Sprint Relay
The sprint relay saw the Penn team
of Lennon, Walker. Dorsey and Scud-
der, lead the pack from gong to gong
only to have the big c of Cornell show
in the van at the tape, when Grim, the
intercollegiate 440 point winner, out
ran Scudder in the final dash for the
tape. Larry making a thorough job
of it by falling to the floor two yards
from home. With this bitter pill to
swallow, the Red and Blue rooters
were subjected to further torture when
it was announced that CornellS time
of minutes 20 seconds had clipped
the record hung up by Penns quartet
of last year by , seconds. Penn State
was also a starter in this event, but
never was dangerous.
Tommy Lennon brought the Red
and Blue home in front with ten yards
to spare in the first relay, Shelteon of
Cornell, running himself out in his eff
forts to pass the Penn runner. Ache
son, of Cornell. however, picked up
nearly all the lost ground on Walker,
of Penn, in the succeeding relay, but
Dorsey proved a little too speedy for
Windnagle, CornelIs great miller, in
the third leg, and started Larry Scud-
der off with a 15-yard margin to work
on over Grim. Larry held his man off
over half the distance, but weakened
to such an extent on the final lap that
he was entirely unequal to the task
of withstanding Crim's winning squirt
in the last so yards.
