The Sophomore relay team established its supremacy by defeating the Juniors in the final heat of the class races on Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon. Considering the poor weather and the wet track good times were made in the 390-yard dash and the 910-yard run. N. L. Torrey '15 won the latter race with a lead of nearly ten yards, in 2 minutes, 15 2-5 seconds, with a handicap of 15 yards.
The class relay race was practically won by the Sophomores in the first two laps, when G. H. Crocker '17 opened up a lead of nearly 20 yards over F. P. Clement, Jr., '16. The handicap was too much for the Juniors, although twice the race became exciting when the lead was cut down to a few yards; but at no time was the race in danger of being lost by the Sophomores. The results of the contests are as follows:
390-yard handicap: Won by W. W. Kenny '17 (25 yards); second, J. H. Spitz '17, (25 yard); third, J. M. Water man '17, (25 yards). Time, 47 4-5 seconds.
