YALE ENTERS RELAY

Philadelphia, March 29.-YaIe yes- terday sent word that it would be represented in the four mile relay cham pionship at Pennsylvania's 24th annual relay carnival, to be held the last Friday and Saturday of next month. The strength of the Yale team is unknown, as the Yale run- petitive work so far this season. That they have a good team is indicated by their entry, and it increases the interest in this event, which prom ises to be one of the best at the car nivaI.
 To date, Cornell, Wisconsin, La fayette, Mann. Tech, Penn State and Pennsylvania are entered while Dart mouth and Chicago will give their ly entering them. Chicago had six weeks ago a most promising team, but Otis, who had already enlisted, was called to the ranks, and it lost probably the best distance runner in the colleges this year. However at the Michigan dual meet, Coach Stagg showed another very fine runner in McCosh, who won the mile in min- utes 25 seconds. Chicago will prob ably enter this event, and in that case, it will be the big event of the days meet from the competitive standpoint. Cornell has, as usual. a fine bunch of runners, and they will be the favorites.
