"lorIng tribute late Saturday afternoon
- be stated that Brown has a run
ua-'s hosrt. No matter what the dis
,orco be has To make up Brown will be
tonnd there fighting with every inch OF
lie strength. That race he ran against
Allan WooLring. the 200 meters Olym-
nIc champion. in the last lap Of the
,nilo race was n wonder. Imagine a
distance man running n quarter mile
against a sprinter and you nave some
idea Of the brilllance OF Drown per-
formance. -,,
shin events were undoubtedly the class
~ tho two dnys' carnival. And had
Penn one more good half-miler or one
hotter quarter miller the title would
have perrhcd on tho Red and Blue banner
When il is considered that George
Meredith. in the scuft'e at the start OF
thc two. mile race. dropped his baton
and was forced to go back for 1t, the
running Of the team as a whole was
wonderful. The brother Of Ted lost at
least twenty five yards at the start and
tried gamcly 70 bring it back. but he
vas unequal to the task. McMullcn
ran q heart breaking race and sue
rpedcd in sending Larry Brown of
about twelve to fifteen yards in the van.
Then followed "A brilliant half mile with
Eby touched off with few yards.
Eby 0utsprinted
The tow haired Penn leader was
content to take it easy during the FIRST
quarter aS were also Tom Campbell,
NJ Yale, and Graham, Of Ames. On
the last quarter the battle started with
Eby and Graham doing most Of the
fighting and Campbell the holding back
The race between the Penn and Ames
runners proved costly to both and
Campbell uncorking beautiful sprint
down the stretch passed both men.
Graham pulled hurst Of speed In the
last ten yards that carried him home
two yards ahead Of Eby and the race
vas lost.
KNcne Fitzpatrick knew what he was
talking about when he stated that
Syracuse would win the mile race. Had
Penn faster man in the first quarter
than Jack who drew up in sixth posi-
ton, Penn might have won the race
The combined efforts Of Eby and Maxam
gave Larry Brown slight lead at the
last relay, hut it was insufficient. II
Eby and MaNam had not found Il nee
CSsary To make up lost ground or Just
. little Of il, Penn would have won. =.
Woodrng ran a great race, worthy
NJ an Olympic champion, in the last
quarter, turning in probably the best
llO Yards Of tho two days.
Anent French Team
The poor running Of the French team
can be accredited to one thing. the lack
OF a fourth quarter miller. Coach de
