At the beginning of the. next to the I
last event Rutland1 led Brattleboro by
three points, and when the final event
was reached the situation was reversed
and Brattleboro led, g. to So
Then came the climax of the day,
the two-mile run, fraught with tremend7
Gus possibilities and with both teams
confident. Jangrow of Rutland set the
pace at the crack of the pistol. Seven
| times around the quartermile track the
Rutland speedster held the lead, and
started on the eighth circuit. At 220|
yards he was 30 yards ahead of Davis,
with little Dan Manning plugging along
| between them. Davis had been told to-
let out at this point, and like good.
soldier he did as he was told. A fine.

from the leader. At 80 yards. from the
ltape Davis passed Manning The latter

| deserved. Jangrow finished third and
Dahlgrcn of Rutland fourth.
Although Davis previously had won
the mile and half mile and finished sec
ond in the quarter, he did the twomile
run in the exceptional time of 10 min
utcs and 10 seconds, which is faster
than is made in many of the intercol-
legiate meets.
Had Jangrow and Dahlgren finished
first and third in this event the Rut-
land team would have tied Brattlebofo
; and had they finished first and second

and Davis jumped forward at the sig

said would not be held long. AT the .22(
