legiate Association Of Amateur Athletes

carnival of the University of Pennsyl-
vania.
In place of the titular track games
it was suggested that Saturday, May &c,
be set aside for the holding of a special
patriotic and athletic demonstration by
the athletes of the various members of
the association subject to the approval
of the Secretary of War. In case the
proposed gathering of college athletes is
held Franklin Field stadium will be used
and the receipts will be donated to the
American Red Cross fund.
The committee has outlined a tenta-
tive program for the demonstration, to

Penn Wins Two-Mile Relay.

In the two-mile race Chicago led at
the end Of the first relay. Pennsylvania
then took the lead and held 1t until the
stretch in the final relay. Notre Dame
moved into second place. and in the last
100 yards Meehan Of Notre Dame and
Scudder Of Pennsylvania ran shoulder
to shoulder until about a yard from the
tape, when the Pennsylvania made a
last desperate effort and pushed himself
to the front and won.
War conditions had their effect on the
meet the largest college athletic event
of the year. There were number OF
athletes of championship caIber absent
and the attendance was at least one
third less than in recent years. The loss
in spectators was due mainly to the fact
that some of the larger universities have
dropped athletic competition because o.
the war. The weather was perfect.
