RAY'S SECOND ATTEMEPT TO LOWER MILE RECORD FAILS

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Although Joie Ray did not break the world's record in the special mile race yesterday in the Stadium, he ran an excellent four laps, cressing the line in 4 minutes 15 1-5 seconds. Starting from scratch, the national amateur champion did the first quarter in 60 2-5 seconds and completed the second lap in 2 minutes 6 2-5 seconds, after passing and Harris, who started with leads of 85 and 110 yards, respectively. At the three quarters mark, Watters, whose handicap was 150 yards, was still leading Ray, whose time for that distance was 3 minutes 13 seconds. On the final quarter these two had a pretty race, Watters leading up to the last turn, when Ray passed him for a six-yard lead at the tape.

Again in the shot put, a record escaped breaking by a small margin. Eastman heaved the 16-pound ball 46 feet 9 1-2 inches, only 1-2 inch short of the College mark established in 1907 by Mr. Henry Le Moyne '07. Lawler of the B. A. A., who was given a handicap of 1 foot 2 inches, had a total of 46 feet 1 1-2 inches.
