The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-02-15

The most conspicuous star OF the
Red and Blue is Boots" Lever,
national 60-yard champion. and one
of the fleetest men in the country
I'm the dashes. AS a sprinter, Le-
yer Is in the class OF McAllister,
Wefers and Farrell, all Of whom
will be his opponents in the Hilltop
games.
In the delegation from Old Penn
win be George Meredith, brother of
the world-famous Fed Meredith, and
a member of the Penn two-mile re-
lay team that broke the worlds
record at the Relays last April.
Elmer o. McLane, McMullen and
Head members of the Penn team
that went to England last year to
meet Oxford and Cambridge in a
four-mile relay, will perform as
members of the two-mile relay
team. and will appear in the open
events.
John C., Thurman, Of this city,
who was selected by Walter Camp
rs q linesman on his all-Ameri-
can team last fall, will perform
In the shOt-put. A fellOw-member
Of the team i'm the weights events
Is "Tex" Hamer, captain OF the
Penn varsity eleven next 1all.
Needs, who is entered in the high
lump and pole vault, is credited
with doing six feet two in the for
mer event.
The Penn entries in the one and
two mile relays are Meredith,
Fisher. McLane. Kerr McMullen,
Jensen, Head, Keogh and Martin.
Head will start in the two-mile
open, Lever in the invitation
sprints; Martin, Powers and Min
ster in the hurdles; Needs. Faucet
and Casson in the high jump;
Woodside, Owen, Stewart and Sher-
ril in the pole vault. and Thurman
and Hamer in the shot-put.
Penn always possesses one Of the
finest track and field companies In
the country, and this year is no
exception. 1t seems that the RED
Snd Blue is a well-balanced aggre-
cation, being well fortified in the
Gprints, middle distance and field
events. Other universities entered
at the carnival will be pushed con-
siderably if the visitors from the
keystone State are to be headed
off in their drive for point honors.
The presence of Thurman in the
shot-put indicates that this event
will be largely cornered by District
bows. Princeton's ace in this de-
partment is Hills, formerly of ST.
Adams. while Maryland has Beers,
q former intercollegiate champion.
Eddie Farrell, the FOrdham
fash and former national sprint
champion, is the latest star to be
obtained for the invitation dash
series at thirty, forty and fifty
yards to be run off at the car
nivaI.
Farrell is a streak in action and
finishes with a glorious burst OF
power. The other celebrities, Nc
Aliister, Lever and Wefers, will
have to travel at a terrific pace IL
they are to snap the tape ahead OF
the Fordham athlete.
10 No decision has yet been an
nounced as to the event Joie RAY
will enter. In seeking to bring hin
here he was promised that he coult
name his own distance and that 9
special feature arranged with thu
best of opposition.
If he picks the two-mile route
which seems likely, he will fac
Harry Helme. of the Hilltoppers
former national senior and JUNO
champion at that distance; Booth
of Hopkins, titleholder in the Soutl
Atlantic section, and possibly Willi
Ritola, of the Finnish American
A. c., of New York, who recent,
broke the worlds record for fou
miles.
The field will be given liberia
handicaps so that Ray will b
driven to crack his own worl
record for the two miles establishe
In New York last Saturday night
