Annual u. of Pennsyl=
vania Relay Carnival

Philadelphia, April = Joseph
McCluskey, of Fordham Univer-
sity. is the hope of the United
States to break the monopoly
Great Britain and Finland have
had in the Olympic games in the
5000 meters steeplechase.
The brilliant New York colleg-
ian whose indoor running during
the past winter stamped him as
one of the greatest two milers in
the country, will compete in the
5000 meters steeplechase in the
thirty eighth annual University OF
Pennsylvania Relay Carnival, on
April 20 and 80.
U. S. Not Heard From.
In 1880, Great Britain won the
event and in 1924, and again in
1928, Fin and's representatives
breasted the tape in victory. At
Amsterdam four years ago, this
country did not win a single place
in the event. The first three fin
ishers were Firms, the next a
Swede and the last two. French.
1t was in 1928 that Pennsyl-
vania added the steeplechase event
to the program at the suggestion
of Lawson Robertson. Olympic
coach. The weakness of this
country in the event was apparent
to the veteran mentor before the
international games were held.
H. Keith, of Oklahoma, won the
ifiaugural race in 10 minutes, 8
As seconds.
Beats Browns Mark.
In 1880, l.. P. Brown, of Michi-
gan, lowered the time to minu-
ties z $40 seconds, which was ex-
pected to be record with some
lasting power. However, Joe Nc
Cluskey, running the event for the
first time last April, negotiated the
hazardous course in 9 minutes. 81
seconds, over twenty seconds fast
er than Brown.
This year it would not be at all
surprising to find the Jordan
runner come close to the Olympic
record of 9 minutes, AS seconds
set by Toiva A. Loukola, of Fin
land, at Amsterdam in 1928.
In the recent indoor intercol-
'1egiate championships McCluskey
broke his own two mile record by
completing the distance in nine
minutes II 3-5 seconds.
Three thousand meters is 239
yards, IL inches short Of two
miles, which, which would indicate
that McCluskey's intercollegiate
record compares favorably with
the Olympic steeplechase record,
taking into consideration the haz-
ards of water and hurdles for the
latter event.
New York and Brooklyn High
schools are among the recent emit
ries in the schoolboy races. These
include Dewitt Clinton, Evander
Childs, Stuyvesant, Thomas Jeffer-
son and Brooklyn Manual.
