CRIMSON TEAM TWELFTH AS STANFORD TRIUMPHS

FOUR RECORDS BROKEN LAST SATURDAY

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Four records, one of them a world mark, were broken last Saturday at Philadelphia as Leland Stanford took the intercollegiate track title in the 51st annual outdoor track and field meeting of the I. C. A. A. A. A. on Franklin field, amassing 36 1/2 points to Penn State's 27 and Yale's 23 1/2. Southern California, winner the past two years, was fourth in line, with 23 points. Harvard came twelfth with 6 points, followed by Princeton with 5 1/2 points.

The Crimson trackmen showed to best advantage in the distance runs, acquiring four of their total six points on the one and two-mile races. Altho here, as in the dashes, misfortune attended the University runners. The heaviest blow came in the mile in which Captain E. C. Haggerty '27, running his final race for the Crimson, and twice winner of the intercollegiate crown, was unable to finish, killed off by a three-quarter run in 3 minutes, 12 3-5 seconds. Cox of Penn State won the event. J. O. Wildes '28 placed fifth in the race.

A. H. Miller '27, Harvard's giant sprinter, pulled a leg muscle, and did well to collect a fifth place in the century.

J. L. Reid '29 ran a sterling two-mile race against Payne of the University of Pennsylvania and Smith of Yale, finishing third, close on the heels of the other distance stars, Payne defeated Smith for second-place. Reid's third place gave the Crimson half of their total of six points. T. G. Moore '29 contributed a point by taking fifth in the javelin throw.
