Ray Hass, who ran first for George
town, pulled up fairly we'll and fin
ished in fifth position. Swinburne
took up the running for the Blue
and Gray and run he did. because
when his part of the relay, ended
Ascher took up the running with
several yards lead.
Ascher held the lead and with a
burst of speed that carried him the
distance in 40 la seconds he sent
Burgess on up the anchor relay with
just about enough lead to almost
guarantee victory. Bayes Norton
ran a fine race as anchor man for
Yale and closed in on Burgess some
but in the strais shtaway could not get
up. He finished about yards
behind Burgess. Holy Cross was
third, Maryland fourth, with SYRIA
cuse. Cornell Pennsylvania and
Princeton we'll back. Syracuse was
hopelessly out of the race after the
baton was knocked from the hands
of its first runner.

quarter in SO seconds. rather slow,
partly because of the battling at the

did 40 1-5 and Swinburne 49 %.
Maryland, before it took part in
the championship race, ran and won
a mile relay in which it defeated
Union, Fordham Bowdoin and New
York University. Thomas, running
first for Maryland. had an outside
hut took load the
back stretch and from that time
Maryland remained in the van.
Thomas finished q few feet in the
lead and Sheriff, who ran second,
started Matthews off with or
3 wards to spare. Matthews and
Endslow added slightly to the lead
without much trouble. The time for
the event was 3 minutes % 3-5

good high school teams. and covered

done in recent years. Bratton. Fug'
gift, Connor and Hebb did the dis
tance in 3 minutes, 80 10 seconds.

HuSSey Is Defeated.
One of the surprises of the meet
was the decisive defeat of Frank
Hussey of Boston College, in the 100
yard dash. Hussey won his heat
without much difficulty, breezing down
the straightaway q full 3 yards
ahead of his nearest competitor. but
in the final Hester of Michigan broke
we'll at the start ard from the second
when all the runners got into their
stride. held at least a 2-yard lead,
Hussey did not gain on the flying
Michigander.
Yale not only won the half-mile
college relay championship. but set
a new mark for the relays by running
the distance in ! minute. 81 45 sec
onds.
Columbia won the 2-miIe champ
ionship mainly because of some brill
liant running by Campbell. The
Columbia anchor man was 20 yards
behind Darcy the last Boston College
runner, at the beginning of the final
two laps, but gradually made up the
distance until the last curve, when
he pulled up close and went into the
lead in the stretch. Campbell was
credited with doing that half in
minute, IS As seconds.
Boston College lost another race in
just the same way, coming into the
stretch of the 4-mile championship
race in the lead only to have Stewart
of Penn State with great sprint
rush to the front.
Few Westerners Present.
Only a few Middlewestern athletes
were present. the Drake relay appar-
emily having drawn the great ma
jority of them. The only college west
of the Alleghanies 20 win a relay
event was Occidental College of Los
Angeles. That school showed a fast
quartet in the Class B college cham
pionship event, and won by a comfort
able margin. Ohio State took part in
the same race.
In the special events, though, sew
eral Middlewesterners did good work.
Richerson of Missouri captured the
shot put, Burg of Chicago annexed
the high jump. and Harrington Of
Notre Dame tied with Bradley of
Princeton in the pole vault.
The meet was not productive of the
fine performances that some of the
previous meets have been. In fact,
