When they added up the points at the recent Penn relay they found that Edward Bradley, University of Kansas had won the pentathlon with a score of 13, two points less than w. F. Bar tels, the young giant of Penn. The Kansan did not take a first during the day. his card showing three seconds, a third and a fourth. He is not star but an example of the all-round ath- Iete. His unusual strength is shown in his highly developed arms and legs. His record does not seem so brilliant when compared to the one Jim Thorpe made at Stockholm in 1912, when the great Indian took the pentathlon with seven points four first and a third, his poorest showing being in the javelin cast.
