Invading Stars Fail.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, April 25.-Inter-
national competition, which saw the
defeat of both Lord David Burghley
of Cambridge University and A. E.
Porritt of oxford, was overshadowed
in the final events of the University
of Pennsylvania relay carnival today
by the attainments of a mighty team
of relay stars from Georgetown Uni
versity.
Lord Burghely, who yesterday de-
feated a capable field of American
performers in the 400 meters hurdles,
proved unable to cope with American
speed at a shorter distance and over
| the higher barriers. G. B. Woods of
Butler and G. L. Scattergood of Prince
ton defeated him in the first heat of
the 120-yard high hurdles, although
for a time the Englishman appeared
OF be on his way to victory.
The time for Woods, the winner, in
this heat was a full second behind
| that which finally won the race, indi
eating that reports from Paris at the
time of the Olympic games to the eff
| feet that Burghley was stronger in
| the low hurdles are to be believed. He
| led for a time, but his squirt at the
start was overcome easily by the pur-
| suing Americans, and at the end he
| was perhaps yards behind. His
/ kicking of the last hurdle may have
cost him his chance in the finals.
Porritt Beaten in Final.
| For time it'was Porritt's day. The
other British invader, sprinter from
New Zealand, delighted the crowd of
| more than 10000 with his victory in
the second heat of the 100-yard dash
He led C. W. Weeks of Princeton to
the tape and was recorded in 10 sec
onds fiat.
The field for the finals included Por-
| ritt, MacCready of Princeton, Hub
bard of Michigan, Duell of the Army.
Cummings of Virginia, Schoonmaker
of New York University and Irwin of
Ohio State.
| Hubbard, remarkable negro athlete
proved the snag for the New Zea
lander. The Michigan man was off
| like fash and halfway down the
stretch led by yards, but Porritt was
gaining speed and rushed to the tame
only yards behind. 1t was a battle
that brought the great assemblage to
| ITS feet cheering and both men re
] ceived ovations. Shoemaker of New
| York University took third place. But
/ Hubbard had to run the distance In
0.09 AS, a fifth of a second slower
than the world record, to win from
| the British flash. Porritt is credited
with less than 10 seconds in the re-
cent Oxford Cambridge meet in Eng
land.
l. Canada and Cuba Land Third.
Canada and Cuba, newcomers to the
Penn relays, scored third places in
mile relay contests. Havana Univer-
sity's' representatives ran a steady
race, although outdistanced by Detroit
City College and the College of the
City of New York. The New York
College was only a yard behind the
winner. The time for the event was
3 minutes q 1-5 seconds
Bates College furnished some of the
best time of the day in the two-mile
relay events, taking the first from
Rutgers and Springfield, in minutes
rs 10 seconds, and the second from
Virginia and Maryland in 3 minutes
% 2-5 seconds. Archibald Bates an
chor man, was the victor in stirring
brushes in both events.
! G. b. Woods of Butler captured the
broad jump and then ran second to
Charley Moore of Penn State in the
! finals of the 120-yard hurdles. Moore s
time, in both heat and finals, was
IA As seconds. only two-fifths of q
second behind the record set up BY
the remarkable Earl Thomas of Dart.
