PHILADELPHIA, April 27.-Mary-
lands iron-man team stole the show
in the 46th annual Penn relays
today, galloping home a winner in
both 2-mile and the more punish
ing 4-mile events before some 10000
astonished track fans.
Three major titles fell to the busy
feet of the Old Liners, but their
effort to equal Pittsburgh's record
OF four championships came to grief
early on the first leg of the college
mile championship when Alan War
field tripped and fell as he at
tempted to move up from third posi-
ton.
In all, teams of Washington's
Metropolitan Area carried off six
championships, counting AL Blozis'
victories, in the shotput and discus
throw for Georgetown and Mary
lands triumph in the distance med
ley Friday afternoon. The sixth title
was credited to Catholic Universitys
mile team, victor in the Mason
Dixon Conference run. American
University was fourth.
Central High Schools mile team
of John Bredbenner, Clayton Morris,
Bill Edgerton and AL Hayden, ran
second to Bishop Loughlin High
School of Brooklyn in the high
school championship race. but new
carnival record was needed to beat
the Vikings. The Brooklyn team
went the distance in 8 minutes, 252
seconds.
Terps' Kehoe Thrills Crowd.
Georgetown's varsity and fresh
man mile quartets were outdis-
tanced, although the varsity with
Mort Alnwick, Vincent Braun,
Charley Williams and Ken Lyden
carrying the baton, finished third
behind New York University and
Texas State Teachers. New York's
highly touted runners, incidentally,
were shut out until the final event
and needed ATT quarter on the
anchor leg by Jimmy Herbert to
get home in front.
But the closest, most thrilling fin
ish of the two days competition
was manufactured by Maryland's
Jim Kehoe, who hit the tape scant
inch ahead of Les MacMitchell of
N. Y. U. in the 2-mile relay. Ke-
hoes victory convincingly settled
the much debated question of
whether he could outhoof the Violet
star because the Old Liner got of
on the finishing half mile several
yards behind MacMitchell. He not
only had to make up ground, but he
also STAYED off MacMitchells fin-
ishing kick which he matched with
one of his own.
Alan Miller, leading off for Mary
land, turned in a 200 half and was
second when he delivered the baton
to Gene Ochsenreiter. The latter

Kehoe Saves Two Races.
The lead came in handy for Her

on the last turn that carried him out
in front of the lanky Terp. enabling
him to send MacMitchell of with at
least 4-yard advantage on the
anchor run. New York supporters
confidentely felt their team was
home" when Les started, but Kehoe
settled into his long, methodical
stride.
He closed half the distance be-
tween the two on the first lap then
moved into the lead at the start Of
the final quarter. MacMitchell. de-
pending on his finishing sprint to
get home first, was content to let
Jimmy set the pace until they swung
into the last turn where he turned
on the heat. MacMitchell moved
up on even terms with Kehoe. They
locked strides and came down the
stretch with first one, then the other

Kehoe had anticipated the move
and moved first. The momentum
carried him over the line a winner
