CAPTAIN BROWN GAINS ONLY SECOND PLACE IN PHILADELPHIA GAMES

Captain Brown, the University's best hammer-thrower, failed to live up to the expectations which his work this year has aroused and gained only second place when the event was held on Franklin Field yesterday afternoon in the first day of the Pennsylvania Relay Carnival. Brown's best throw of 151 feet 5 inches was 4 feet and 8 inches shorter than the winning toss of Baker, Princeton's all-round athlete. The Orange and Black opened the carnival auspiciously by securing three of the first four places in the hammer-throw, Emery and Hills, the latter a Freshman, gaining third and fourth respectively. It is doubtful whether Brown will do well enough in the shot-put this afternoon to add to the Crimson score.

Hold Handicap Meet

While Coach Farrell's best pair of weight-throwers were competing on Franklin Field, most of the members of the University squad were taking part in a handicap meet on the wind-swept track and field within the Stadium. Coach Tolbert's squad of 41 Freshmen who are making the trip to Andover today were excused from the meet and several of Coach Bingham's best track men, notably Chapin, Davis, and Whitney, who are still out with injuries, were unable to compete. The wind which swept in gales down Soldiers Field was at the back of the sprinters and accounted in large part for the fast time made in the dashes. The long distance runners, however, lost more in fighting against the wind than in coasting with it and their times suffered accordingly.

The two-mile run afforded one of the biggest surprises of the afternoon when Lund, Coach Bingham's new distance star, starting at scratch, ran through a heavily-handicapped field to win by a wide margin over Coburn, who placed second, finishing a half lap ahead of Mahon, who won his letter in the Yale meet last year, and two laps ahead of some of the slower runners. The finish of the quarter-mile was very close, the three men who placed all starting with a 15-yard handicap. H. F. Colt '22 and Curtis forged to the front at the last turn, and sprinted against a strong wind, Colt crossing the line a scant two feet ahead of his rival.
