RELAY TEAM BETTERED OLD MARK

In the twenty-first annual Pennsylvania Relay Carnival at Philadelphia on Saturday, the University short distance relay team with the Pennsylvania quartet furnished the feature race in the one-mile championship, with Pennsylvania winning by five yards in the world's record breaking time of 3 minutes, 18 seconds. R. Tower '15, the first Harvard runner, jumped into the lead in the first twenty yards with Kauffman of Pennsylvania at his heels. For 250 yards he led by one yard but Kauffman finally passed him and gave Lockwood, his team-mate, a two yard lead over E. A. Teschner '17. By a terrific spurt Teschner passed Lockwood, but was forced to give way in the final stretch, and Lippincott, the Pennsylvania captain, was given a slight lead over W. Willcox, Jr., '17, Harvard's third man, and barely maintained his advantage. In the last relay W. J. Bingham '16 made a game fight for the race with Meredith, the Pennsylvania anchor man, but was beaten by five yards. The time of the University team, 3 minutes, 19 3-5 seconds, was under the intercollegiate record of 3 minutes, 22 3-5 seconds, made last year by Harvard.

The other University men to place in the meet were J. B. Camp '15, M. L. Greeley '15, and G. G. Haydock '16 who were tied with several others for third place in the pole-vault at 11 feet, 9 inches. J. O. Johnstone '16 took third place in the high jump, clearing the bar at 6 feet, and H. S. Sturgis '15 took fourth place in the 56-pound weight event, with a throw of 23 feet, 3-4 inch.

Team Showed Well in Dual Meet.

In the dual track meet with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the Stadium last Wednesday, the University team easily secured the greater part of the honors, winning 28 places out of a possible 40. In addition Harvard won every first place with the exception of the one and one-half-mile run which was won by F. L. Cook of Technology. The showing of the University team in the field events was especially encouraging, the men exhibition great improvement over the work last fall.
