New Events for Relay Carnival

The twenty-first annual relay carnival of the University of Pennsylvania will be held at Franklin Field, Philadelphia, on Friday and Saturday, April 23 and 24, 1915. In several respects the carnival will differ from those held in the past. The events will take place over a period of two days, as the increased number of entries prohibits running off all the races on one day, as has been the custom. Several events have been added. One of these is a pentathlon, modelled after that held at the ancient Olympic games. This will consist of the following contests: running broad jump, throwing the javelin, throwing the discus, 200 meter race and 1500 meter race. Contests will also be held in the running hop, step, and jump, 56-pound hammer-throw and probably a 400-meter hurdle race.

There will also be a new relay championship event, one man to run a quarter-mile, the next a half-mile, the next three-quarters of a mile and the last a mile.
