was sent away from the mark to
make up the lead. He sprinted and
was just as Higgins heels at the end
OF the first 100 yards; he stayed there
until the third straightaway was
reached, when he broke into the lead.
The Georgetown man hung on with
grim earnestness until the beginning
of the last furlong, and there Holden
began a great sprint which carried
him to the finish fully fifteen yards
to the good.
HOlden's Lead Tells.
1t was well Holden gained that
lead because Hanlon was not runner
enough to hold up his end against
the men opposing him. He gradually
lost the lead Holden had given him
until both Martsers Of Georgetown
and Shields of Penn State passed
him: Shields finished in front by ten
yards and touched off Helffrick to
start the final two laps with that
lead.

would be between the PennsyiVa-
