Penn Relay Entries
Proof That Sports
Are Coming Back

Pennsylvania twenty annual
relay carnival, that will be held here a
week from next Friday and Saturday,
definitely shows the influence of the
war on track and field athletics. Both
the army and navy took up athletics
at the beginning of the war as one OF
the great aids. not only to getting the
men fit and keeping them 80. but also
us a means of developing the fighting
spirit and the esprit de corps.
1t stands to reason that with athlet-
les of all kinds being developed
throughout the numerous army and
navy camps of the country, q great
wave of enthusiasm for athletics should
sweep the country when the war was
over. The wonderful entry list OBJ
tanned for Pennsylvania races indi-
Gates that this wave Is flowing in and
that it has not by any manner Of means
reached the flood yet.
The entries reach total of $50,
which is a total altogether unexpected
by the management. The big surprise
Of the entry list is that the number of
college teams reaches more than 100.
and, according to letters received from
several Western colleges, the only rea-
son they cannot enter this year is be-
cause of the fact that their excheouer
has been exhausted and they cannot
afford to come East.
This years meet promises to break
all records not only in attendance of
college and school teams, but also in
the high standard Of performances.
Chicago, Pennsylvania, Princeton, Pitts
burgh. Dartmouth, Mass. Inst. of Tech
noiogy and Michigan all have one-mile
20 seconds. Columbia, Yale, Harvard.
Notre Dame, Chicago, Cornell and
Princeton are all talking Of winning
the two-milc championship, and, II
necessary, doing close to the present
