Athletes Smash 3 Records
in Big Meet at Cambridge
Continued from First Page.

Of the shot do not seem to produce any
thrills.
The first score in the totals was won
by Penn State. when Shields led home
the pack in the mile run. He came
through in the last quarter and reached
the tape with fine burst Of reserve
speed
California had no entry in this race.
AS the first events were concluded 1t
seemed to the uninitiated watching the
score board that the meet was between
Cornell and Princeton. California S
winning points were in the field events,
the results of which came up slowly.
Finally the returns from the ubiquitous
merchant began to roll in with other
points from the field events and 1t was
evident that the Drawn of the native
sons would win out.
The two mile race. which was won by
Higgins of Columbia, was one of the
dramas of the cinder path. The two
Browns OF Cornell were the early pace
makers and they dragged the pack
through a gruelling mile and half.
Dorr, the lone Californian, with blue
and gold sash cleaning tried to take
the lead away from them. waving his
arms angrlly when The seemed to be
pocketed.
The two Browns held on to that lead
doggedly. first one taking the fore then
the other. Higgins, who also had kept
well UP during the entire race, began to
put on some extra speed after the mile
and a half. He pressed the Browns and
Dorr of California began to press him.
The Browns sagged just little at the
mile and three-quartcrs and Higgins,
with his legs beating the path with
the steadiness of twin pstons. moved
gradually UP. The Browns. beaten by
the pace. sagged back.
At the End or Two Miles.
Buker'of Bates swept up to give Hig-
gins fight, but the Columbian had
plenty of reserve and he moved steadily
ahead as the pack rounded the last
turn. Dorr of California made his last
fight here. His legs began to wobble
unsteadily and he finished dropping
fourth, collapsing on the grass at the
side Of the track as he staggered across
the finish. Merchant, waiting at the
finish, picked him UP and carried him
away.
The most popular victory locally was
that of Young Jake Driscoll in the quar-
ter mile. The Boston College .man
seemed to be pocketed early in the going
and was we'll behind as the field turned
the lower end OF the stadium, into the
straightaway. II seemed that the race
would be between Stevenson of Prince
ton and Hendrixson OF California, but
Driscoll ran a game race.
As they rounded the turn and came
up the back stretch to the finish limo
Driscoll began to move UP. his face
white and his teeth set as he flashed by.
Within so yards OF the finish line he was
almost abreast Of the leaders. In the
last dash he seemed TO leap to the fore
and finished first. with a yard or more
to spare.
The winning OF the 220 yard low hur-
the spectacular events of the afternoon.
The Princetonian cleared the first hurdle
ahead OF the others and with perfect
stride, stretched out his lead gradually
but imprcssively, down to the finish line.
Harvards event was the 100 yard
high hurdle. Hauers led from the crack
Of the gun and seemed to step easily
over the sticks He did not even touch
one OF the tips Of the hurdles as he
fitted down the long lane in the lead.
Not Much Enthusiasm.
When II became apparent that Cali
fornia had piled up high enough score
to win easily, the Penn State delega-
tion started to pay its respects to the
two year conquerors with the Penn yell.
accompanied by California yell The
large Cornell delegation followed the ex-
ample of the Pcnnsylvanians The
cheering was polite and perfunctory
You can't get much enthusiasm out of
track and field meet followers.
Last year California took the meet by
beating Harvard by only half point.
In this victory they were helped bit
by Stanford University. the other Cali
fornia college. The Stanford team with
drew one entry in order TO give the
California team the opportunity to get
the fraction Of point necessary TO
