had been expected that Allan Woodring
OF Syracuse would be the winner. but
Woodring was not In his best form. He
was left at the post In his semi-final
and just did finish third. In the final
he was left again. and had to run his
head off to take third place. Al Lee
coney of Lafayette finished second, with
r. X. Hutchinson of California. fourth,
and Fl. B. Lever of Penn, fifth.
Kirksey got the jump on his field
and led from start to finish. At rs yards
Ii looked as II Leconey would get him,
but kirksey only put on more speed. He
was not to be denied. Woodring came
up valiantly and beat Hutchinson and
Lever in the last 20 yards. When the
was great disappointment. as the pace
looked like better than evens.
Thomson King Over Hurdles.
Earl Thomson. king OF all hurdlers
over the high obstacles. again was
supreme in the 40 yard high hurdles,
He did not have to do his best in IA AS
seconds. C. G. Krogness of Harvard
surprised by getting second place. with
II. E. Barron Of Penn State a very close
third. p. williams scored fourth for
Stanford, while z. F. Snalley came
through with a point for Penn.
The two mile was real hummer and
developed a surprising finish. r. e.
Brown of Cornell was the Titan OF this
event. Most OF the way he took pace
and was not contender apparently. J.
L. Romig OF Penn State took the lead af-
ter the mile and held 1t until they went
into the home stretch. Victory, apparent
ly was assured to Romig, as the others
seemed to be having trouble. But this
appearance in so far as 1t affected r E.
Brown was deceptive. He let loose a
terrific sprint and passed Romig, to win
by five yards in the good time Of min
utes 80 seconds. Romig managed to
hold second place, while c. Dorr OF
California staggered in the third. w. K.
Mcmahon OF Massachusetts, Techn ology
was fourth and N. P. Brown of Cornell,
the champion of 1920. was fifth.
J. D. Simmons of Syracuse. former
cross country champion. ran disap-
pointing two mile, and was never a con-
tender.
1t was Mcmahon who set the pace for
the mile. At the half he was about a yard
in front OF the rest and turned in the
fair time of 2:13 As. D. w. Head of
Penn was a close attendant, but he was
not among the leaders very long. That

Following Campbelrs failure in the
mile came another severe aund unex-

who was favored to win the pole vault
not only failed to take the event but did
not even earn a place. Gardner was
eliminated from the competition when he
failed to clear. the bar at eleven feet-a
height which he could vault with his
eyes shut on any other day. but this
certainly was not a Yale afternoon.
The pole vault honors were divided
among three men who tied for first place
at the disappointing height OF twelve
feet. The three men leading were A. G..
Norris of California, G. D. Brown of
Yale and r. w. Harwood of Harvard.
