PENN RELAYS LOOM

By WALTER CAMP.

The Penn relays this year should
produce one of the greatest two-mile
relay races ever run in this country,
provided. of course, that the weather
conditions are right.
some idea OF the sort of racing that
may be expected was furnished by
GEORGETOWN at the recent intercol-
legiate indoor meet here, when, after
their second man had dropped the
baton and been compelled to run back
for it, the team pulled down what
seemed to be the commanding lead
of Boston College. The time. Z min
utes Sc 40 seconds. convinced every
one that but for the unfortunate err
ror a record would have been shat
tered.
Against Georgetown will be ar
rayed, among others, Cambridge and
Michigan. both with fine relay teams.
a new record should be set.
The joint Yale-Harvard golf team
will play an international match this
summer with the Oxford. Cambridge
team. Negotiations have been con-
the Yale team and president of the

this end, and Macintosh and Storey.
the respective Oxford and Cambridge

Some idea Of where sport IL lead
