Coach washington anu JS1AcrSOA
Football Team.
Howard Berry and Ted Meredith,
two of the greatest college athletes of
ell time, have offered their services to
the government for training In AVA
ton. Berry, for the third TINS won
the pentathlon championship of Amer
lea at the recent Pennsylvania relay
carnival was a member of two Penn
sylvania football teams and baseball
mines. He finished his athletic career
by running a splendid half mile for the
Quakers in the two mile relay race,
his own particular exhibition enabling
the Red and Blue to win this event
/ Meredith, who graduated from Penn
sylvania last spring, was the often
times winner of both the quarter and
the half mile at the intercollegiate
championships and holds the worlds
record for both these events.
Distance lends no enchantment to
the performances of the athlete as it
does in most everything else in life
On the contrary, the present day win
ner is always Landed as the greatest
ever. The champion is a nine day won
der. Thus we find a Philadelphia
msnt that Berry was going to Join the
aviation corps, saying: There is no
doubt that Howard Berry is the most
wonderful all around athlete who ever
wore the Red and Blue of Old Penn"
While this may be true, there was
1900, holder Of the intercollegiate broad
jump record of "a feet, 4 1-2 inches,
and whose mark of % 3-5 seconds in
the low hurdles has only been equaled
once by college man. In the spring
of 1900 Kraenzlein won bot hhurdles
and the 100 yard dash at the intercol-
legiate track meet and took second in
the broad jump to Myer Prinstein,
Syracuse. Kraenzlein won Is points
that day. g. record performance. His
score won the championship easily for
the Quakers. When it is remembered
that Kraenzlein could step a quarter
under so seconds without training for
it, as ne did In several relay carnivals,
was an equally good high jumper and
would have played football but for the
objections raised by Mike Murphy.
there is not much room left to argue
about who was the best athlete Penn
sylvan1a ever had. The difficult thing
to swallow about Kra enzlein was that
the Philadelphia climate never agreed
with him. What would have been his
records had he been in good health
while at college?
Kraenzlein took part in three inter
collegiate championships and scored a
total of As points, an average of Is to
the meet. This was before the pres
ent method of scoring was in vogue.
