NEWARK. May Shine new rec
ords were established and three ol,
records equalled in the three classe
OF the ninth annual interscholasti'
field and track meet held on Frazer
Field. University of Delaware. Sat
urday afternoon. In each OF th'
three classes. three records were
broken and one equalled. while tbs
Sigma Nu. in winning the halfmil'
fraternity relay. also made a new
record for that event.
II was a great DAY ror Maryland
schools. as Tome Institute won the
Glass / meet and Elkton High the
Glass 8. while Coatesville captured
first place in Glass 2.
II was the largest and best meet
yet held on Frazer Field snice the
interscholastic was first started eight
years ago. The crowd was also one
Of the largest that has ever gathered
on Frs1er Field for any athletic
event There were several hundred
automobiles parked on the terrace,

by streets. Every one OF the thirty
one schools entered in the three
classes brought at least some fol-
lowers. and in some instances large
delegations accompanied the teams.
The Minnehaha Tribe band OF
Newark. 3furaished music during the
afternoon. which put pep" in the
events. There was not an idle min
ute, however, from the time the
meet started at 1.30 o'clock until
the last event was over about 6
o'clock.
There was only one incident all
afternoon that in any way caused
objections. That was when Balti-
more Polytechnic was disqualified in
the one-mile relay OF Class 1 for an
alleged foul after the POLY" run
ner had finished first. The event was
given to Tome, with Perkiomen sec
third. II was claimed that Bechtol,
running the last quarter for Balti-
more Poly" gave Hillman, Of
Tome. the elbow in rounding the
first curve, throwing off his stride.
and It was for this offense that
Poly" was disqualified. The al
legged foul was evidently apparent to
many spectators. as yells of foul
were heard all over the field. even
before the race was over and the
judges had ruled. objection to the
ruling was made by some Of the
Baltimore POLY" officials.
But for this disqualification,
Poly" would have gotten credit for
breaking the one-mile relay record
as the time was 3.3s 2-5. while the
record made by Tome in 1915 was
3.391-5. which still stands. as the
dme made by Baltimor. Poly" was
lot allowed. Bechtol, who was al
legged to have committed the foul,
previously bad broken the 440-yard
dash record, IN Glass /. Fortunately
the disOIa ifcation made no differ
ence in the final results. Even had
Baltimore Poly" won the relay. the
standing Of the schools at the close
would have been the same.
In the half-mile relay between
