the way, were clicked in minutes 10
seconds, thereby eQualling the carnival
record set in 1918 by the famous Penn

sisting of Richie, Dean, McKniff and
Coan, also had been expected TO run

strong challenge of Harvard. They fin
ished in that order after a stirring last
mile In which Coan Of Pennsylvania,
Cobb Of Harvard and Martin Of Cornell
matched stride for stride. Martins
