Colby Relay Men
Leave for New York

lSD6Cldi h6ilHCDCC OOaA Ae~AJ
Waterville, Me-, Feb. 3-Colby's
two mile relay team and the brilliant
Blue and Gray dash man, George
Mittlesdorf, will leave this morning
for New York where they will COM
pete in the Millrose Athletic Club
games to be held in Madison Square
Garden on Thursday evening. The
most ambitious attempt ever made
by Colby relay team will come at
that time when the boys take on
Columbia University, Syracuse Uni
versity, the University of Pennsyl-
vania and Boston college in the feat
ure relay race Of the night.
With the best quartet of half mir
ers which has ever been turned out
by a Maine college. the Waterville
team is not as nearly out Of the run
ming as might be suspected. Charlie
Sansone, captain of the team, was
considered one Of the best middle
distance men in the east during the
campaign last summer; Rrussell
Brown, captain of track, has run 40
seconds for a quarter and his half
mile times have been nearly as good
in comparison; Jimmy Brudno is one
of the best runners who has ever
been seen on the Colby track and
during the training season this win
ter has taken several races from San
some and Brown: while former Re-
lay Captain Ev Franzen has been
consistently one of the best relay
men on the Colby teams for the past
three years. With this quartet the
team should be figured as one of the
best in the race despite the fact that
the competition looks big for any
Maine college.
