Burgess Star in Mile Relay.
In the mile relay race for the
American championship, Georgetown
won through the brilliant efforts of
all four runners, and through the
super-brilliant performance of Bur
CESS, anchor man.. 1t seemed un-
fortunate that Yale had to be the
second team and be beaten in the
final stretch by the rare margin of
yard, in much the same way that
it lost last year to Virginia. Both
these teams distanced the others.
Haas started the relay for George
town and ran in fourth place a con-
siderable part of the way. On the
back stretch he began to move up and
when he hit the straight away was in
second place. He came to the front
with a rush, passed Paulson. the first
Yale runner, and sent Herlihy off a
yard to the good. Herlihy and Ascher
could not keep up the pace against
SNJz a. 80 l.
anchor man for Yale, took up the
final running six or seven yards ahead
of Burgess. And when men are do
ing the quarter around so seconds
that is real handicap. Yet Burgess
started his race, just about held his
own until the beginning of the sec
ond two-twenty, when he began slow
ly to creep up. Almost imperceptfble
at first, he drew up on the Yale flyer,
but when the two men turned into
the stretch. he was right at the Yale
mans heels. He started a terrific
burst of speed, but the Yale man also
had real kick left and it was not un-
til within 10 yards of the tape that the
Blue and Gray was carried to the
front. Burgess literally hurled him
self across the finish line bare half
yard or so in front of his Yale op-
ponent. Burgess time for his quarter
was 49 seconds.
Two Days of G. u. Triumphs.
For two days in the Penn relays
Georgetown has accomplished about
as much as any team reasonably could
hope to, In fact, ii is doubtful if any
other school has attained such distinc-
ton in any set of Penn games. Two
world records in winning relay cham
pionships, a third relay championship
and first and second places in the all
round individual championship is go
ing some.'' as one might appropriately
express it..

Overshadowing the performance of
the individual athletes was the record
smashing of Herbert Schwarze, giant
weight man of Wisconsin, who shat
tered two marks. SchwarZe, who has
been tossing the discus for only three
weeks, threw the missile 146 feet tn
inches, beating the Drake record
of 1873 feet 6% inches made by Platt
of Denver in 1928.
Schwarze excelled his own Drake
record in the shotput with a heave OF
AZ feet 9k inches. In the trials yes
terday, the Badger giant put the ball
40 feet SIS inches, which erased the
old Drake record.
School Team is Speedy.
The crack relay quartet of North
east High School of Kansas City, Mo,
raced to victory in three events, max
ing records in all of them. They
started off by taking the / mile inter.
scholastic event in $50 $40, lowering
the mark of 3:31 1-5 made by Cedar
Rapids in 1922. They then won the
half-mile after a close race with Cen.
trail High of Omaha, covering the dis
tance in 1872 8-10, which lowered the
former record of 1893 2-10 hung up by
University High of Chicago in 1922
The MisSourians won the third relay
of the day by snatching a victory in
the quarter mile, hanging up new
figure of 0:45 $40. The old mark
was GAS 3-5, made by Cedar Rapids
last year.
The Butler College runners also
cracked two records, winning the l.
mile college relay in 3:1S 2-10. the
former mark being 1928 2-10, made by
Cornell College in 1921. The Hoosiers
also won the half-mile college relay
in 1:27 $40, the former time was
1870 $40, made by Wabash in 1917
The two major university relays
went to Michigan and the University
of Texas. The Wolverines, with the
aid of the brilliant running of Charlie
Reinke, the anchor man, won the 2.
mile event, covering the distance In
ISL 40, and lettering the Drake
relay record of 1852 2s10, established
by Ames in 1921.
The race developed into thrilling
struggle, with Ames, Wisconsin, Notre

throughout. The Badgers led at the
end of the first relay, with Ames

the end of the fifth inning, as Cove

Another Battle of Wits.
This was the signal for another
battle of wits, which have come to
be an almost daily occurrence be-
tween Harris and Higgins. The mite
manager ordered Shanks to bat for
the lefthand- hitting Ernie Johnson
and Bucky gained a point when Hank
famed. Scott then connected for a
terrific drive TO right center that Lei

sprint, but which resolved itself into
a hit that scored Gehrig. When Peck

the hassockS were jammed.
Jones then was put in to run for
the sluggish O'Neill. and when
Paschal was sent up to bat for
Francis, No. of the New York
pitchers Harris lifted Gregg and
called on Marberry. Higgins then
countered by enlisting the services of
y Schang, who bats as well, or better,
lefthanded, as in the orthodox man
ner. Hug scored a point when Schang
looped a Texas Lacquer to left that
cashed Pipp and Scott. and boosted
the Yanks to within one run of the
Griffithian total, but all the remain
ing tricks were taken by Harris.
Twilight Obligingly Deepens.
With potential tallies sufficient in
number for a New York triumph on
the bases, Dugan's bid for a productive
blow was detected by Marberry to
Peck, who tagged the runner at
Judges station, and as the twilight
deepened Combs swung futilely for a
third strike.
