Gustafson OF Pennsylvania had been
made the favorite by most of the experts
Tor the half mile event. The Penn flyer
looked winner for 600 yards OF the
race Up to that point he kept in front
and was moving so smoothly and easily
mat 1t appeared he would hold his ad-
vantage.
Mayer hung on the ouaker's flank tn
the 600 yard post, when the Cornellian
jumped Gustafson and started a terrific
sprint The Quaker gave quick pursuit
to the Ithacan, but Mayer kept straight
and true on the victory trail and held

Blue flyer.
Raymond Speed Marvel.
Raymond OF Pennsylvania showed that
he was without peer among colles late

time. He stepped the 100 in "eyens"
and covered the furlong in 2l as Sec

One OF the largest crowds that has
witnessed an intercollegiate track and
field carnival swarmed into the big bowl
on Soldiers Field. Practically all of the
colleges represented, even the smaller
ones and those long distance away, had
more or less larger coteries OF rooters
on hand.
The mile run. although not covered in
especially fast time. brought out the
best finish OF the day, with d. F. O'Con-
nell of Harvard and r Crawford of
Lafayette running shoulder to shoulder
for the last half lap. OConnell stayed
behind until the last lap, when he
sprlnted. went by the field and kept
going to challenge Crawford. who was
leading. Crawford was running strong.
He began to sprint in an effort to
shake off O'Connell. but the Harvard
man had plenty of strength. The two
runners pulled more than thirty yards
ahead of the field and raced to the tape
in the hardest finish seen In the mile
run for years O'Connell was only inches
ahead at the tape. The time was
minutes 20 3-5 seconds.
Harvard's showing was the surprise
of the meet, as the Crimson's own sup
porters had not believed the team
capable OF gathering 20 points. The
win by O'Connell in the mile and sprint
ing OF Moore and the work OF men in the
field events enabled Harvard to make
such a good showing. Bowdoin did the
best work of the smaller colleges.
Savage scored in both hurdle races and
