dust that lasted all during the contests.
This wind slowed up most OF the races,
and the dust that the men had to breathe
surely handicapped their efforts.
Princeton took things right In hand
by getting both first and second in the
100 yards dash with McKim and Lieber-
man. who outclassed their competitors.
The time of 10 20 seconds into the wind
was very fast running and stamps Nc
Kim as q sprinter of fine calibre.
Brennan OF New York A. c. won the
mile by a good margin. II was thought
that he would take this event, as he has
been preparing specially for II, and his
running showed that he could do a lot
faster were he pushed.
In the 440 yards. where Stevenson
made new junior record, he was car
ried for the first 220 yards by Sherman
of st. Christopher. negro runner, at a
very fast clip. This was just what the
Princeton man wanted TO make the time
he did, and after taking Sherman's dust
for the first half of the race, he drew
up and made his bid. which gave him
the place coming along the last 100
yards. The early running was too much
for Sherman and he had to give way to
Boetticher, running unattached, ano
Lally, of ST. Anselm. who were second
and third.
Rick. Princeton freshman. was the
winner Of the three-mile and the young

rick. He ran very heady race and did
not try to go away from the field until
the last lap when he steadily gained

authors-Leon Gordon. lie Roy Clemons
and Thomas Grant Springer-was about
three times too long. The goldfish must
