Fransen Breaks Tape
But Foul Loses the
Victory for Colby
Especial to Ecnnebec .Journol

Especial to kcnnebec JournaD
Waterville, Feb. 5-Althourh the
SoloS relay team lost to Bates in the
-. a. A. games in Boston last Satur-
uaE night by a foul it is officially un-
uerstood that Transen who was run
nihs anchor man for Colby broke the
tape. This may not seem of much
consequence to the sport fan glanc-
ing over the newspaper knowing that
Bates won but he or she might be
interested to SNOW that the timers
gave the time of the race as soon as
te string was broken. This means
mat Colby ran in the fast time of 3
MN. 80 and one third seconds and
mat the Bates time was not taken.
IL also means that Colby has about
as 1ast team as any in New England
II one is to take the b. A. \. time of
the other relay teams who ran that
night. Some of the bigger college
tours ran in much slower time but
OF course they might have made bet
ter time If pressed harder.
The foul committed by Fransen was
peculiar one. With but a few yards
to go and the Bates man pressing
him hard Franscn staggered and took
up more than his share of the track.
The foul was unintentional.
