CARNIVAL PROVES MIND SUPERIOR TO MATTER
Crimson's Relay Team Shows Better Form Against Lampy and Romps Half a Lap Away From Nearest Opponent
The superior form of the CRIMSON relay team as compared with the Lampoon four, the showing made by B. S. Jacobs '27, the only man to capture two first places in the meet, and the fast 880-yard handicap race, featured the Midwinter Track Carnival at Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon.
The CRIMSON team, chosen by athletic savants as the best four entered in the event, again demonstrated the triumph of mind over matter by romping around the boards and finishing more than half a lap from its nearest opponent, the Lampoon team, in the Publications' Relay. The Advocate team, the CRIMSON's only other rival in the event, entirely failed to show up at the grounds, and thus lost by default.
Running, the novice 40-yard dash in four and four-fifths seconds, and the 300-yard handicap in 35 2-5 seconds, enabled Jacobs to take two of the H. A. A.'s gold medals. Both races were closely contested. J. R. Bunker '27 emerged victorious from the 880-yard handicap, in which a score of men competed, finishing in 2.03.
