RELAY TEAMS DEFEATED

The two relay teams representing Harvard in the intercollegiate meet on Franklin Field, Philadelphia, on Saturday finished in last and fifth place in the one-mile and four-mile races respectively.

In the one-mile race Dives made a poor start and finished 20 yards behind Dear of Pennsylvania. Bauer lost still more ground so that on the third lap Young started over 100 yards behind Johnston of Yale. He made up some of the distance but not enough to give Rust a chance to win. The sharp pace which Rust had to set to overtake the field could not be sustained and he finished 200 yards behind Long of Yale, who defeated Taylor of Pennsylvania in an exciting finish. In the four-mile relay race, teams were entered by Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Columbia. In the first mile, King of Harvard finished second, about 50 yards behind Alcott of Yale. Neither Rowland nor Hall were able to decrease the distance between themselves and the leaders. Colwell in the last mile could not maintain a pace fast enough to close up the long gap ahead of him. Kellogg of Michigan won by a few feet with Parsons of Yale second, Williams of Princeton third, Hammerslough of Columbia fourth, Colwell of Harvard fifth, and Jones of Pennsylvania sixth. This is the second consecutive time that Michigan has won the four-mile relay championship.

The most encouraging performance made by a Harvard man was Gring's excellent showing in the pole vault, in which he tied with McLanahan and Behr, both of Yale, at 11 ft. 6 in.

In the 100-yards special Schick was defeated by Hahn of Michigan in a close race. Bird was second in the trial heat in the 120-yards high hurdles, but failed to gain a place in the final race.
