mm al I ,oini9 1 v.t nl.i relay meet wns the
determining faetot In fiwnr nf the Kant
In one nf the stirfet and most even bat
tles ever waned against the powerful
track and Held contingent pent on from
various Western lollritcs.
The versatile athlete who represents
the University of Pennsylvania on the
diamond and gridiron as well as on the
track performed a feat which It Is be
lieved never was equalled before when
he won alt nf the five events In the all
round competition, finishing up the
gruelling l,r00 meter race with n sprint
that brought the time for the distance
down to the sterling figures of 4 minutes
19 4-3 seconds.
Brilliant as wn the performance of
the sturdy quiker there, ware others to
haro In Uie glory of the first day of this
fascinating meet. In which the pick of
the collego world came together before a
crowd of fi.Onfi persons on the rain soaked
Franklin Field.
Ted Meredith, the hero of the Olympic
games of 1912 nt Stockholm, stirred the
partisan of old 1'enn to ii vigorous
demonstration when he gave away a long
tart In the last relay of the sprint
medley relay championship and came
romping home a victor by live yards.
The wearer nf the lied and Hlue was ten
yards behind the leader when the last
relay started mid as the time for the
final half mile was 1 minute 54 4-5 sec
onds he must have run close to record
time under most discouraging circum
stances. Diamond prcsara Meredith.
Jt was the Western athlete who
forced the Olympic champion to the ,
utmost In order to carry off the laurels, .
Chicago and Wisconsin men Mulshing
almost In a dead heat behind hint. The 1
forward position of Chicago was due
ntlrely to the sensational uuartar run
by the. negro sprinter Diamond In the
third relay. Starting behind Wallace of
Princeton and I.cnnon of Penna, Dia
mond streaked ulons ut such a wonder
ful Bait that the time for the relay was
48 4-5 seconds and his quarter must
have been run about three yards faster
than that. I
Wisconsin won the other championship'
medley relay. In which the distances were
longer, the Westerners simply galloping
heme in front of Pennsylvania, the only
other starter. It' was the lladgers that
were hugely responsible for the great
showing made by the West, as M. Hurke
of that university surprised all the ex
perts by winning the quarter mile hurdle
race. He spreadeagled his field and.
only for slowing down at the finish would
have beaten the collegiate record made
y Ferguson last jear.
Counting Merry's victory In the Pen
tathlon the Kast won four of the seven
pedal events decided to-day, taking in,
addition the 5 fi pound welgut, hammer
throw and the sprint medley. The West1
carried nfT the quarter mile hurdle, hop,
step and Jump and the distance medley,
n world's record.
What would have happened In the way
f records had the weather been fine
and the tra"k cood cannot be told, but
as It wiu new figures were made In
several conts. the moft meritorious
being tho new world's mark set up by
the Perm team in Inning the sprint
relay. The Quaker iuartct finished the
briskly ro'itet-teii mile In 3 minutes
IS 3-5 second, against the mark of
S minutes .13 2-3 seconds made by tho
Penn team last year. Collegiate marks
went by tho board In other contests,
placed men ns well as the winner
beating the old distances for the 5fi
pound weight and the hop, tep and
Jump.
With the heavy weight II. White of
Byracuse repeated his victory of last
year, throwing 31 feet & Inches. The '
second, third and fourth men also beat
the old figures. In the hop, step and
Jump W. Carter of Illinois won with
45 feet 6'j Inches and only beat Pogue, ,
another Illinois man, by a quarter of
an Inch. The old mark was 44 feet 7
Inches, made by Graham of Columbia I
last year. AImo In the record cIhbs .
was the 1,500 meter run of Kerry in I
the pentathulon. His 4 minutes 29 4-5
seconds took a big ellce off the col
legiate record of 4.41, which lie accom- I
pllshed last jenr. I
Ilerry'H work In the pentathlon stands
out, but some credit must bo awarded
to another football player of note, who
forced him out in most of the events.
This Is Nash of Hutsers, who finished
second to tiie Penn marvel In every
contest except the long run, In which
he spoiled his point' wore by trailing In
a pitirui met.
Berry -was equally at homo on track ,
snd In the field, hut the 23 2-5 second

lap of tho 1,500 meter run, which closed i
the contest, Hi,. him Kunkle of Penn I
State headed the champion on the last 1
bend. Kunkl.i had a lead of live yards,
with less than 200 aids to go to I

Which seems Illimitable, anil dashing

furlong was finished the determined
sprint of Jelko put Princeton on even
terms with Smith of Wisconsin at the
heels of the pair.
In the next relay of the furlong Wal
lace for Princeton and Lcnnon for Penn
sylvania Just managed to break even,
nnd again Wisconsin was knocking at tho
door. As soon as the quarter mllers
were slipped away Dlsinond begun a
brilliant rush that sent him to the front
like a shot out of a gun.
Tho dusky flier was making the big
bid for Chicago and he turned over a
lead of eight yards to Stout, who wound
up for Chicago. This would have been
good against any man but Meredith, for
though the Quaker was a few yards
behind the Princeton man when he took
up the battle, ho flew past the Tiger
and in less than n furlong was onlv a
couple if yards behind Stout. White
waiting on the Chlcagoan ii new danger
threatened for Meredith when Harxey
of Wisconsin loomed up on the last
bend and actually passed the Olympic
champion. Stout nlso held his lend on
Ted until the turn into the homestretch,
when Meredith called on that supreme
power that has won him scores of races.
With the Penn cheers ringing In his
ears he burst between the two Western
ers and dashed on to victory by five
yards. Chicago and Wisconsin fought
it out to tho end, Stout of Chicago tak
ing the place by inches.
Wlarnnsli tram wins.
In winning the longer relay the Wis-
conbin men conserved their energy for
the championships to-morrow. All ran
In perfect form and retlectcd great credit
on their trainer, Tom Jones. Williams
was contented with a lead of two yards
at the quarter relay which set tho men
in motion and Merrill stretched the ad
vantage to twenty-five yards in running
the half ml'.e. Tho three-quarters Just
smothered the Penn team, for Sehardt
had eighty yards oer the Penn runner.
HemNh ran the mile for Wisconsin and
Jogged along at the finish to win by

PENN'S LONG STROKE
GIVES NAVY A TASK
Annapolis Crew, to Row To
dny Is Not So Finished as
nod and Blue Eight.
QUAKER CLEANUP LIKELY
r ciwuTAjfCE . Tinm.
tlellrerl amateur champion at
weeps and senile.
Annapolis, April S8. The two strokes
which will he used In the eight onred
shell race between Pennsylvania and
United States Naval Academy to-morrow
are quite different. The middles have a
short body swing, but use their legs to a
great extent, with a long slide, but this
does not make up for the Quakers' long
stroke.
The Annapolis crew Is far from being
a finished one compared with the smooth,
polished eight from the Schuylkill, al
though Joe Wright Is not yet satisfied
and expects to have his men rowing In
better form before the big events are
reached.
It looks to me as though the lied and
Hlue oarsmen will make a cleanup In the
varsity, second varsity and freshman
races, especially If It Is rough, because
they are better together than the Navy,
are fur superior watermen and aro
much faster at starting. I am positive
that they will not tire so quickly.
The men swing fore anil nft In their
shelli -nlth tho regularity of a pendulum
of a clock, which one does not see In the
Navy's crews. When the Navy men
catch the water Mime shoot the sent In
the first part of the stroke and also bend
their elbows; In other words, the break
In the arms Is too enrly In their stroke,
and this will tire a man quickly,
.rm Only a t'nnnrrtliur I. Ink.
A man's nrtn N a mere connecting
link between the oar and his body. The
weight of the torso should lie thrown
baik as quickly ns possible In a smooth
manner.
Some of the Navy men's foreheads
hang downward Instead of being up nt
the finish of the stroke. The middles are
using very wide blade oats, although
their ciew Is much heavier thnn Penn
sylvania's. I am afraid they cannot pull
these blades through fust and hard
enough for a mile and seven-sixteenths,
which will also tend to take the life
out of the crew In the last van of 'ho
race.
I had the opportui.it of seeing all the
crews out this afternoon. Kach covered
about four mile?. All their work was
of short sprints and practising starts.
Pennsylvania got her stroke uv to
forty-two clcnn ones and u fast brek
away from the starting posts. Navy put
In forty-six In a scrambling style, show
ing poor uniformity throughout. This
Is the first opportunity the Quakers have
had on rough water, and I must snv
their work is clean.
Pcnn's freshman crew did iot arrive
from Philadelphia until late this after
noon They were Immediately boated,
after which they rowed lip the Severn
P.lver in nn easy paddle for about four
miles. Coach Wright gave his young
sters a few Instructions on starting.
Hough Water Bothers Quakers.
Owing to the rough water Pennsyl
vania had to put strips on the wash box
to keep the waves out, and as a rule
tlm sight of these narrow strlisi on the
bow are annoying to a freshman as much
ns blinders Ire to a young horse. No
one ran tell what 'first year men will
do In a boat ruce, but this crew looks
good In Its class.
It must bo remembered that Coach
Wright has only two old varsity men In
tho shell. Pepper rowing No. r, nnd
Capt. Schlckerinu rowing No. 7. Wright
had first nnd second varsity out In tho
morning for at least an hour and they
went through tho ssmo urdivil late In the
afternoon. He expect to take his csews
out to-morrow morning st 10 o'clock,
weather permitting.
To-morrow's races should prove Inter
esting because of the different methods
they are using In the training camps.

HERRESHOFF PLAYS
TWO GOOD MATCHES
With Sharwood, Battfirson and
Pfl ul Reaches Semi-final
at Lakowood.
SOUTHERNER DOES WELL
I.AKr.woon, N, J April'38. Two met
ropolitan golfers, one Phlladelphlan and
a Southerner survived the first two match
rounds of the spring tournament of the
Country Club of Iakewood to-day, Sid
ney R. Sharwood. Merlon ; J. O. Batter
son, Fox Hills; W. M. Paul, Mecklenburg-,
and Fred Herreshoff, Garden City,
are the four golfers left In the fight for
the chief trophy, and as It will he Shar
wood against Hatterson In one seml-flnal
match to-morrow morning and Paul
against Herreshoff In the other the golf
ers from the home district have a chanco
to monopolize the final of the first Met
ropolitan tourney of the year. The odds
aro against their doing so, however, as
Sharwood, who won the medal yesterday.
Is expected to beat Hatterson, while the
Paul-Hrrreshoft battle should be one of
tho best of the tourney, with neither
the favorite.
Chief Interest to-day centred In the
work of Herreshoff, for his many friends
all wanted to see him play as he played
In tho days before Illness threatened to
end his career on the links. He wns
not quite the Herreshoff of old to-day,
but he wns nenr enough to It to gladden
the hearts of many who watched him.
As was the case In tho qualifying round
yesterday he was driving a remarkably
long ball, and this morning repeated
his trick of driving hole high on the
29fi yard fourteenth. His short earns
was lacKing in nnesse nt times, his
worst shot being n short pitch when
there was a bunker or other obstruction
between him and the green.
"I can't seem to get that shot," he
said sorrowfully after an especially atro
cious effort In the thirteenth hole In his
first round match against IF. C Knyser
of Scarsdale,
Kayser Pata I'd Rood Plaint.
Kayser put up 11 good fight despite
the fact that be was outdistanced from
every teo and kept the match golnic to.
the sixteenth green, where the former
Metropolitan champion won by 3 up and
2 to play, Herreshoff was out In 41 nnd
he repeated the performance against V,
