KANSAS ATHLETE
 IS WINNER OF TIE ALL-AR0UND H0NORS
English Teams are Left at Post in Relay Carni-
 val

Philadelphia, April BOA new worlds record, the defeat of Eng
 lands best collegiate distance runner, three teams including Oxford and Cambridge left at the post in the star race and the winning of the
 pentathion by Bradley of the Univer-
 sity of Kansas, were the outstanding features of the opening day, of the University of Pennsylvania's relay carnival here today. The presence
 of the English Universities track team gave an international aspect to
 the games and but for a heavy rain and the unfortunate fiasco which
 ruined the distance medley cham pionship race the initial day of the meet would have gone down in ath- letic history as one of the most sue cessful in the long carnival record.
 The fastest field of varsity dis tance runners that the country could
 boast faced the starter in the three
 mile intercollegiate race arranged
 for the special benefit of E. A. Mon- tague, of Oxford University, winner
 of this event in the Oxford-Cam-
 bridge duel meet in London on March
 27, when he did it in 14:45 3-5. Today
 he was easily defeated by E. T.
 Nightingale of New Hampshire state
 college, by more than forty yards
 in 14:66. Montague ran second in
 15 minutes 2-5 seconds.
 B. c. D. Rudd, the Rhodes scholar
 from South Africa, who gave such a
 sensational all round athaletic per
 formance for Oxford in the recent
 dual games between the Britain uni
 versailles in London, did not appear
 for the 44O yard low hurdles in which it was expected he would prove a
 worthy opponent for the American collegians. That he would have had
 to travel at a terrific pace to win
 was proven when J. M. Watt of Cor
 nell won almost as he willed in a new worlds record time of 54 1-5 sec
 onds. displacing the former time of
 54 3-5 made by Harry Hillman of
 the New York A. c. in 1904. Cough lin of the University of the South
 was second and H. Glen, Nebraska, third, finishing we'll in the rear of
 the flying hurdler from the shores
 of Cayuga Lake.
 :. The keenest disappointment came to the 5000 spectators who had braved the heavy downpour when the Oxford Cambridge team, as well as several others, did not appear for the instance medley relay champion
 ship race. No explanation was given
 by the officials and after gruelling , neck and neck race. Pennsylvania !. state nosed out the Yale quarter with ; Syracuse and Georgetown finishlig in that order, we'll in >'.tasa reasr fpp , soon as the runners s~,7 ie , spectators began to sprifs> ], , ter, but were stopped byTs~ n Hese nouncement that Oxford-d srel ? Chicago and the Pennsylvania A>ts. 4 had not been summoned to the start ing line although ready. and would run special race over the same dis , tance. e , As the water soaked spectators re- turned to their seats there came a
 second statement that the race would l not be held owing to the condition oi 9 the track. In the dressing rooms the
 three teams which had been left out 9 of the race were still puzzling over
 the mixup which cost them a chance , at the championship, according to the a best explanation given all three com I binations were ready to go to the
 starting line when told to remain s under cover until called. They walt Q ed for some time anad when finally : a messenger was sent to find the
 cause of the delayed call the race
 had been started.
