NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 29— Yale
won the two-mile boat race from the
University of Wisconsin on Lake Sal
tonstall this afternoon by about three
lengths in 10 minutes 54 seconds, the
Wisconsin eight finishing ten seconds
behind. From start to finish the visit
ing crew gave Yale a good battle. Both
eights rowed evenly, Yale spurting
ahead as soon as Referee Richards
pistol was fired and never being over
taken, although the Yale stroke was
lowered during the last half mile, and
the Wisconsin crew decreased the dis
tance between the two boats by half a
length.
The race was not started till 6
o'clock. Wisconsin won the toss for
course and chose the east side. This
gave her the straighter side of the lake.
At the start the crews settled down to ]
vigorous rowing. Yale crept steadily
to the lead, and by the time a quarter
of a mile had been traversed was near
ly a length ahead. The crews, which
had both caught the water at a forty
to-the-mlnute stroke, now let down
Bcanewhat, and Yale was timed rowing
about thirty-two to the minute and
Wisconsin thirty-four.
At the mile stake Yale had nearly a
length of clear water between her shell
and Wisconsin, and the blue continued
to draw gradually away till half a mile
from the finish, then Stroke Langford,
of Yale, dropped his pace down to about
thirty, and the Wisconsin men, who,
despite their light weight, seemed full
r>f ;ii;, hit up a livtly stroke till they
crossed the line. They rowed in good
form throughout the race, while Yale
seemed not to catch the water forcibly.
The crews rowed in the following order:
Yale. Position. Wisconsin.
Rogers Bow Alexander
Whitney No. 2 Sutherland
Campbell No. 3 Chamberlain
Greenway No. 4 Ollson
Ballev (Captain) No. 6 Lake
Allen No. 6 Austin (Captain).

ANNAPOLIS, Md., May 29.— Every cadet
in the naval academy feels like an admiral
tonight because the cadet crew defeated
Pennsylvania In a two-mile race, crossing
the line seven lengths ahead of the Quakers
in 13 minutes and 47 seconds. The visitors
came in 25 seconds later in 14 minutes and
15 seconds. The water was rough and the
time is considered very good under the cir
cumstances. Because of rough water at was
6:23 p. m. when the pistol was fired from
the juugi.' *„u_t and the race was on.
Both crews took the water at about the
same time, pulling a long, steady stroke,
but before a hundred yards had been trav
ersed Pennsylvania's young men found the
water too rough for their liking, and sev
eral good, old-foshioned "crabs" were caught
by. the collegians. The cadets, on the con
trary, never missed a stroke, and soon haa
the nose of their craft in advance. "Pennsy"
•was pulling at the rate of thirty-four strokes
to the minute, and the "Middles" at thirty
three, b(.%k coxswains holding their boats
well into ore course, and the Pennsylvania's
becoming steadier with each stroke. The
men in the naval boat were the stronger,
however, and at the end of the first half
mile were a length ahead. From this time
on it was a procession, witk the Quakers
bringing up in the "rear. Inch by inch the
leaders crept ahead until at the finish seven
lengths separated them from their competit
ors.

I water brought Joy to the sailor's heart. Bet
ter augury ot good sport could not have been
vouchsafed and there was scurrying and hur
rying to get the boats In shape for encounter
with the breeze that rushed through the chan
nel blowing 15 knots. "It comes 'nor- nor
west," said the skipper, casting his weather
eye to windward and he called to his mates
to tie up the reefing points. The lake was
lashed with the wind and the waves rose high
and rolled in over the low docks. There was
a big sea on for Minnetonka, and the small
boats heeled far over as they bore ta to shore.
Preparations for the event began early In the
day, and the weather-wise predicted a blow.
Every prophecy came true. The race was
sailed, but there were few to struggle for
glory, since It was for glory only they_salled.
Ten boats of the score and more that lay at
the club house, crossed the line, and of these
eight came home with flying colors. The vic
tory went to the strangers and honors are
worn by A. F. Pillsbury, proud owner of Peter
son's new double-sterned sloop, and F. J.
Hopkins, no less conscious owner of the new
one-rater, Gladrene. These won in their
classes, and won proudly. Beatrice was sole
representative of her class, second class BlooP,
and T. B. Janney's sloop Katrine, rigged this
season as cat, was first in her class, leaving
Varuna to a sorry struggle with her pumps,
when she sprung aleak on the run to Excel
sior.
The Wizard established a record, too, since
her actual time was 1:88:46. and she started
oft with a handicap of five minutes.
The race was a holiday preliminary for the
season which will open with the race of next
Saturday afternoon. It did. not count in the
championship, and special flags were won by
the victors, but it was nevertheless an Inter
esting event. There was much curiosity con
cerning the new boats, and the most of these
•were in evidence. The Pillsbury Wizard came
ln for a large part of the comment, and was
greatly admired for her clean lines and trim
appearance, in spite of her length and beam,
which is 37 feet over all and 16 feet water
line. She is a graceful ship, notwithstanding
the double cut in her stern. She carries a
big 725 foot sail and bears her white plumage
easily. Her club measurement is 22.09. Pe
terson, her builder, was at Mr. Pillsbury's el
bow, but they said Wizard would not venture
out, as the wind promised to be so heavy.
However, after the other boats got off and she
had her wings a bit, they gained courage
and pushed her away under handicap. She
proved to be of the right mettle, however.
When she started her second lib was set,
which she carried on the run to Excelsior.
Peterson, who tended sheet, then dropped the
jib. and did not lift it again until she was
well down the lake on the Point Lookout
run. She then forged ahead as if a train of
dynamite had been laid at her heels, and the
race was hers easily. She stood up in the
wind steady and firm, and fell not a whit be
hind in her windward sailing, in spite of the
run she had made. Her sails filled readily
and she bore up under the pressure bravely,
answering the tiller at the touch. Her hull is
black leaded from stem to stern, and her
deck Is a light yellow. Wizard made a great
run and easily led the fleet. There were
these to predict that the Tartar, the favorite
of last year, is downed:
BROKE WILCOX'S ARM.
Distressing Accident nt the Inter
city Cricket Match.
The Minnesota Cricket club yesterday, in
anything but agreeable weather, played its
second game with Minneapolis, winning on
the first inning by the handsome margin of
47 runs. This was due principally to the
fine batting of G. C. Saulez, who made 43
by very careful play, scarcely giving a
chance, and H. H. Vaughan, who made 11.
Wilcox, who went in first, and when seeming
ly well set, had an unfortunate accident,
being hit by Godwin, who was bowling for
Minneapolis, on the small bone of the arm,
breaking It. consequently making him "hors
dv combat" for the rest of the game. Nepier
and "Vaughan did the trundling for the Min
nesotas without a change, Nepier taking 7
wickets and Vaughan 4.
For the Minneapolis men P. Godwin and A.
S. Dunkinfleld carried off the batting honors,
and the bowling was divided between Woolan
and W. Godwin. The Minneapolis men
fielded in splendid shape, and altogether it
was a very pleasant game. Below is the re

BROOKLYN HANDICAP.
A Dozen Starters Will Go to the
Post on Monday.
NEW YORK, May 29.— The chief topic of
conversation in racing circles today was the
Brooklyn handicap, to be run at Gravesend
on Monday. As far as could be learned there
Is every probability of a dozen starters, and
the owners and trainers profess to be well
satisfied with the condition of their charges. ,
Tlie top weight, however, will be an absen
tee, for the Thompsons have concluded not
to start Requital, his work since his defeat
by Handspring, being very unsatisfactory.
The reports that Handspring would be among
the missing were vigorously denied by P. J.
Dwyer, who said that his colt's condition
was entirely satisfactory, his last work being
the best of the year, and Simms will pilot
him. Belmar ls next in weight, and his
move on Wednesday last Was so satisfactory
that he will be a great favorite with many,
although his stable companion, The Winner,
who ran so good a race in the Metropolitan
handicap, is thought to be the better of the
■ pair. M. F. Dwyer will enter Harry Reed
| and Ben Eder, as they are absolutely fit. The
former, however, is in highest favor among
those who have been watching the early
morning gallops.
Oneck's Stables— Sir Walter Is sure to be
a popular favorite. Maurice will be a starter
in all probability, but his races at Morris
park have been extremely bad. Lake Shore
will go and -will doubtless have considerable
following on his last race. Merry Prince
showed his heels to a fine lot the only time
he has started this year, and his exercise
since has led Mr. Belmont to think that he
has a chance. From Brighton Beach come
reports of fast work by Mr. Keene's King
Arthur 11. Volley and Jefferson are reported
to be fairly burning up the track in exercise
work, and the owners of those lightweights
declare that the race is as good as won for
them. Thus It will be seen that if all the
reports are correct the race will be the most
sensational in Its history. The entries and
weights follow:
Handspring. 125; Belmar, 121; Sir Walter,
The Winner, 110; Harry Reed, 114; Ben Eder,
113; Free Advice, Loki, 108; Lake Shore, 105;
Merry Prince, 100; King Arthur 11, 98; Vol
ley, 95; Jefferson, 88.

A high wind was responsible for the
breaking of four of the university
records and the equalling of one of the
Western intercollegiate yesterday in the
meeting between the different colleges
of the state at Minnehaha park. The
result, never in doubt, was 72 points for
tihe university, 30 for Hamllne and 6
for Carleton. The university thus wins
the cup for the present year. It was
expected that in the sprints and 440
and 880 yard runs the university men
would be hard pushed, if not beaten,
but the men counted upon to do it were
not ln the game at any time. However,
the university experienced a surprise
in the high hurdles, in the hammer
throwing and in the mile bicycle race.
The latter involved a long wrangle, Bnd
ended in "no race" being declared, after
it had been run three times.
There was a rather disgusted look on
Manager Col well's face when he sized
up the crowd yesterday, and the man
from Carleton said: "Come down to
Nortihfield next year, Colwell, we can
get out a bigger crowd than this and
won't have to advertise." There were
not over 100 paid admissions in the
grand stand, a fact that does not speak
very well for the students at the uni
versity, who, however, have been show
ing a surprising lack of loyalty, or even
simple kindly interest in anything that
is going on under the university colors.
A stiff, unrelenting wind blew from
the West, rolling up great clouds of
dust and making work of much diffi
culty. This wind can be held responsi
ble for some of the records, except the
half-mile, whach was run part way in
the face of the wind. When the hurdle
races were called small boys were also
called for to hold up the hurdles. In
the pole vault and high Jump the bar
had to be held on the pegs. In fact,
the wind was anything but pleasant
and played mischievous pranks with
everything.
Owing to the non-arrival of the
crowd the events did not begin until
2:30, and then, as no crowd showed up,
it was decided to go on without it.
The 100-yard dash was the first
event. Everybody was excited because
Olson, of Hamllne, with a record of 10
seconds, was considered a dangerous
man. At the start he was put back one
yard, but that did not effect the re
sult, for when the tape was broken
Olson was four yards away. Steven
son and Rogers made a pretty fight for
first, but the former won by half a
foot in 10 seconds,;; breaking the uni
versity record of 10 1-5 held by Rogers.
Judson, of Hamllne, was third.
The next event, the 440-yard dash,
was counted as an easy thing for Nel
son, of the university. At the start
Merritt, of Hamline, took the lead
and held it until the turn was passed,
when Nelson, by as pretty a spurt as
ever seen at Minnehaha, caught the
leaders, and, 200 feet from the tap-^,
passed Merritt, running away from
him easily. The time was slow, Nel
son having nothing to push him. Mer •
ritt fought for second place with Hill,
also of Hamline, winning by two feet.
The time was 54 2-5 seconds.
Harry Loomis said before he went
into the high hurdles that he would
knock several over, and he kept his
word. Loomis had the lead when he
took his first hurdle and kept it for
several, but. when he came to the
fifth, It was too much, and he fell.
James Merritt, of Hamline, won the
event in good time, making it in 18
seconds. Loomis was second and Jud
son third.
The first heat of the mile bicycle
was run to select the team from tlie
university entries who would go to
Chicago. The Hamline men entered to
try the pace. The finish developed a.
fight between the three university
men, Brooks winning in 2:35 4-5. Pike
was second and Downey third. These
three men will be on the team to rep
resent the university at Chicago.
When the regular race was called, a
time limit of 2:40 was set. Ward, of
Hamline, won, after a great loaf, in
3 :36 1-5. This required the race to be
run over again. The limit was placed
at 2:50 this time, and again Ward won,
but in 2:55 1-5. Pike had been second
and Downey third in all these races.
Brooks having dropped out, owing to
a bad cold, and it was thought best
to save him for the Chicago meeting.
Ward had won his two races by a
terrific spurt at the finish, and it was
generally thought that he could win,
all day. However, in the third heat
the pace was evidently too fast for
him, as he was fifty feet in the rear
when he began to spurt. At thi3
point, either by accident or incidental
ly, an outside university rider cut iri
and Ward was prevented from taking
the outside track to repeat his perform
ances of the other two races. Ward
very properly protested, and it was
allowed by Referee Phelps. It was
declared no race, and not finished.
Knapp, of Carleton, a man with a
record of 2:01, was the picked winner
for the half-mile. He got third place
and only by a scratch. Nelson again
proved that he was a fast man by
winning the race by over six yardis.
His time was 2:06 3-5, breaking the
"U" records Knapp was a good second
fifty yards from the tape, but Brennan
spurted and fifteen feet from the tape
passed Knapp, winning second place.
The 220-yard dash was a repetition of
the 100, Stevenson and Rogers fighting
hard for first, the former winning and
Olson, of Hamline, getting third. The
university record was broken here,
the time being 22 4-5 seconds.
Owing to the high wind, Bunnell de
cided not to try for the record in the
walk, as it would be impossible to do
anything creditable.
The mile run was won by Clark, of
the university team, in 5.02 1-3
Chandler, of the university, fought out
second with Lucian Merritt, winning
by two yards.
The low hurdles again required the
attention of a small army of boys to
hold them ln place. With the wind at
his back Loomis ran a pretty race, en
tirely running away from his oppo
nent, J. Merritt. He broke the uni
versity record and equalled the West
ern Intercollegiate of 27 1-5, Merritt
got second and Judson third.
The broad jump was a flight between
Games and St. Clair, with the former
winning at 20 feet 6% Inches. This
did not equal the record made by
Games last year of 20 feet 11 inches.
Olson, of Hamillne, got third.
The high jump sow another failure
to equal the record. However, St.
Clair did not try very hard as he won
easily at 5 feet 2 inches. Merritt was
second at 5 feet and Judson third at
4 feet 10 Inches.
The shot W€flxt to the university,
Loomis putting the lead 86 feet 11
inches. Lundeen, of Carleton, was
second and £ohn6bfi> ot the same col
lege, third. Lundeen made 82 feet 11
Inches.
The hammer "Was a hard fought
event. Teigen, of the university, mak
ing every effort to* win, but it was Im
possible. Ritchie, rfof Hamline, on hie
third throw Aade 92 feet 5% inches.
Teigen was Moond with 89 feet and
Johnson, of Oarleton, third.
Harrison w»n the pole vault -with
out trying at feet. 8 inches. Terry,
of ""Hamllne, was second and Arm
strong third.
Some of th* records made yesterday
were anything but creditable, but the
day and the* fact that the contests
were not verjr. sharp had considerable
to do with the record making. How
ever, the four records made are good
to stand for some time.
The Chicago team has not yet been
officially announced, but it is under
stood that with the exception of two
men it Is all made up and the only
thing that ratoiains to be done is to
decide on th* two men ln question.
The men sure of going are Stevenson,
Rogers, Loomis, St. Clair, Nelson,
Brennan, Clark, Chandler, Harrison,
Brooks, Pike Downey with Manager
Colwell, Trainer Craigie and Assistant
Trainer Ferguson. They will leave for
Chicago Thursday evening. The Chi
cago Beach hotel has been selected as
the headquarters of the team. The
games next Saturday will be run on
the grounds at Wentworth avenue and

DULUTH, Minn., May 29.— The an
nual ten-mile "road race of the Duluth
Cycle club caane off this afternoon with
fifty starters. The race was a lively
one, though the wind was unfavorable
and the time was five seconds slower
than last year when Robert McCleary,
of St. Paul, broke the state record by
doing ten miles in 26:07. Today D. T.
Carmichael, of St. Paul, won first time
in 26:12. J. P. Burnett, of West Su

POSTOFFICE PLOT. c
Registered Man Was to Be Robbed at
Portland.
PORTLAND, Or., May 29.— A con
spiracy involving a plot to rob the
registry department of the United
States postoffice in this city, has been
revealed. As a result, Julian E. Epping,
superintendent of the registry depart
ment of the Portland postoffice, has
been placed under arrest charged with
conspiracy, and later in the day, George
T. Watson, a deputy sheriff attached
to Justice McDevitt's court; Charles A.
Watson, city jailor at the police sta
tion; John Simpson, a blacksmith, and
Charles W. Holsapple, of the city de
tective force, have also been arrested
upon similar charges. The arrests have
caused a great stir. The conspiracy
was revealed to the postal authorities
by Eugene Gautier, who claims to be
one of the conspirators.
The plan was that whenever a large
sum of money was passing through
the registry office, Epping was to in
form his associates, who were to hold
Epping up, and rob his safe. The blow
ing of the safe was to be the nart of
Simpson. If this had been accomplish
ed, the city officials were to see that
the guilty parties were not apprehend
ed. Gautier alleges that it was the
intention of the conspirators to have
put their plan into operation some time
ago, but that some of the men were
distrustful of Simpson. Postal Inspec
tor Thrall claims to have a large
amount of incriminating evidence
against Epping.
Gautier recently came here from San
Francisco, and brought himself into
notoriety by placiing his young wife
in the "Open Door," a refuge home for
fallen women. He also figured con
spicuously as an informer in the trial of
George Powers and a Chinese, accused
of forging Chinese certificates.

RUSSIAN COLONISTS
On Their Way to Take Up Land Near
Winnipeg.
NEW YORK, May 29.— A party of
Russian peasants, the first as far as is
known that ever came to this country,
passed through New York last evening
on their way to Winnipeg, Man., where
the British government has granted
them an extensive tract of land. They
were dressed in their national costume.
The Russniaks, or Ruthemans, as they
are also called, are the inhabitants of
the semi-independent Duchy of Buko
wina, of which the emperor of Austria
is hereditary archduke. The language
of the people is a Slav dialect. Their
religion is a form of Roman Catholic
ism. The party consists of nine men,
ten women and twenty-five children.
All are of magnificent physique. Not
one of the men was less than six feet
tall and two were more than seven feet.
The women are also tall and well form
ed, and the children seem to be healthy
and intelligent. None could speak Eng
lish, except the leader of the party. He
said that the members of the party
were farmers and goat herders. They
were induced rto emigrate by an agent
of the British government.

HAD TOO JttUCH WlflD
WHITB BEAM. LAKE DOTTED WITH
THE HULLS OF "JPTURSEI)
BOATS.
EIGHT STARTED IN THE RACE.
ONLY TWO, HOWEVER, FINISHED—
GRIOG'S AXEL.A AND BR.
WELCH'S CORONA.
SEW COURSE USED FOR FIRST TIME
Tbe Season Promliet to Be the Beat
in the History of the Clnb— Eight
Jicw Boats.
Yesterday afternoon marked the
opening of the yachting season at
White Bear lake. The initial race of
the season was sailed over the new
course. Eight boats started, and only
two finished, C. M. Griggs' first rate
sloop Akela being first, and followed
by J. M. Walsh's Corona 11. six minutes
later. The actual time was for the
Akela 1:20:17 and Corona 11., 1:26:6,
which ls considered excellent time over
the present course, for it is longer by
about a quarter of a mile than the old
course. The change of the White Bear
Yacht association's headquarters from
Dellwood to Ramaley's is a move in the
right direction. Formerly people living
in the city, who wished to witness the
races, had either to start home on an
early train before the races were fin
ished or wait until the night train.
Racing at White Bear promises to be
more popular this year than ever be
fore, fifty members of the association
owning yachts.
Eight new boats were built this sea
son, three first-class sloops, two special
class boats and two second-class sloops,
and the officers of the association are
quite enthusiastic over the outlook.
Yesterday dawned with a cloudy sky
and no wind, but 11 o'clock found the
sun shining brightly and a good stiff
breeze blowing. At 2 o'clock a strong
gale sprang up from the Northwest and
increased until at 3 o'clock the wind
was blowing at a rate of thirty miles
an hour. Racing men say that yester
day's blow was the worst experienced
since the Fourth of July, 1895, when
only a few boats finished, as was the
case yesterday.
At 2:30 the steam launch, Ida, con- ;
talning the judges, steamed out to the
club house buoy in front of Ramaley's.
The judges were W. S. Morton and A.
B. Ovitt, and C. H. Bigelow acted as
time keeper. The preparatory gun
was fired at 3:15. The next gun was a
signal for the starting of the cat boats,
there being only two that were willing
to risk the storm, the Alerta, manned
by H. C. Drake, and the Pastime,
with Col. Appleton as skipper. The
Alerta had some difficulty in rounding
the club house buoy and was disqual
ified. The Pastime got safely off, but
subsequently dropped out because of
too much sail.
The next was the special class, other
wise known as the "half-raters."
They were started at 3:30, and not one
of them got to the second buoy. There
has been considerable talk in yachting
circles of late of the good showing this
class of boats would make. But in
yesterday's race they did not come up
to expectations,- and it was evident
that they were of little use in rough
weather. It was thought, however, If
these special class boats were sailed
under favorable conditions, they would
make some quick time. At 3:37 the
starting gun for the special class boats
was fired and there immediately fol
lowed a series of mishaps. Ed
Helmke's Jennie R, upset about ten
rods from the club house buoy and the
occupants of the boat went into the
lake, but they were soon rescued by
boats sent out from shore. Douglass
and Bigelow's Nelka next upset, but
with no serious results. This ended
the special class boats. The Minne
sota, owned by Paul H. Gotzian, is said
to be one of the fastest boats of this
class, but Mr. Gotzian did not start his
boat on account of the storm.
The second class sloops were next
started, five minutes later. D. W. Van
Vleck's Falcon cracked her mast after
getting to the center buoy. H. P.
Sanders Majove tipped over, and up
sets seemed to be the features of the
race. The black hullsi of the boats
which had upset were turned skyward
and with the centerboard down re
sembled a whale with a large fin.
The last boats started were the first
class sloops. They got off safely a
few minutes later, well bunched for
the first half mile. The boats which
started were C. M. Griggs' Akela, L.
P. Ordway's Alfrida, and Messrs Stick
ney and Mead's Go So, and J. M.
Welsh's Corona 11. The Akela and
Corona 11. kept well together all
around the course. The Go So was
sailed for the first time yesterday
afternoon. After turning the corner
of the island the canvass stretched
and the gaff gave way, compelling
them to give up the race.
At the time of the accident she was
well up with the other boats. The Al
frida on reaching the center buoy came
near upsetting several times in the
middle of the lake, but this was nar
rowly averted by the skillful manage
ment of the crew. The judges' boat
followed in the course of the boats for
some time, when she became temporar
ily disabled, and it was only under full
head of steam that she reached the
club house in time to take the time of
the boats which finished. The crew of
the Corona were tempted several times
to give up the race, as, in running free,
she shipped a couple of barrels of water
over her stern.
The Akela, the winning boat, was
built by Peterson, of White Bear, on
the same plan as the Tartar. The Tar
tar won several races at Lake Minne
tonka last year, and Mr. Griggs thinks
the Akela is fully as fast a boat, If not
faster. She is thirty-seven feet over
all, and has what is termed a divided
stern, which is said to be preferable to
the round stern.
The new course laid out recently Is
very much the same as the old course,
excepting that the start and finish is
made from Ramaley's. The exact dis
tance is not known, as it has not as yet
been measured, but it will be a little
longer than the old course.
It was expected that at least twenty
five boats would enter the race yester
day, but the owners did not seem in
clined to take their boats out, and pos
sibly it is well they did not, as will be
seen from the number of upsets at the
starting buoy the lake was not safe
for even the first-rate sloops.
The Duluth limited, which leaves St.
Paul at 2:15, stopped at Ramaley's yes
terday, and a large number of yachts
men and their friends took this train,
arriving in plenty of time to witness
the finish.

NEW YORK, May 29.— The athletes
of Pennsylvania are the intercollegiate
champions for this year, as they won
the Intercollegiate association's cham
pionship cup at Berkeley Oval thi<*
afternoon. Score by points: Pennsyl
vania, 84; Tale; 24"&; Harvard, 15%;
Princeton, 15%; Georgetown, 7; Boston
university, 5; Syracuse, 1; Cornell, 1;
Trinity, %; Wesleyan, 1-3. Total, 104.
The bicycle races, which will wind up
the series of championship events for
this year, will take place next Satur
day at Manhattan beach, but, as the
five races to be then decided will figure
only eight points in the aggregate, they
will have no bearing whatever on to
day's results. The great surprise of
the day was tbe downfall of a world's
champion sprinter, Bernard J. Wefers,
of Georgetown university, in the 220
--yard Salt race. Wefers held the lead
for over half the distance, when Col
felt went after him. The Princeton
man overtook Wefers at the reporters''
stand, and from there t?o the finish
a desperate race ensued. Colfelt lasted
the longer and won by about two feet.
The time was 22 8-6 seconds. Sum
