Last Saturday nft crnoon, whtlo putting on his farewell to Franklin Field, Ted M e r o d I th walloped the world's American and I n torcolleglato record for the Half mlto when ho loped the distance In 1 min ute G2 1-5 seconds In one of the greatest races ever witnessed The former mark was 1:62 4, held by himself, and It makes obsolete the Ameri can record of Kmtllo Lunehl, made In jt.1T. MAXWELL i'f.uU, hekl liy tostreal In 1909, and tho colleRO crown held WDiva Caldwell, of Cornell, who won 2, event At Cambridge In 11)14 In tho fast 6 0tltB3 2-S. Wm Out for Record ktufon the meet It was announced that thndlth would try for a new record, llo J7 , close to It several times, but JfflcHtlon nevor were right for tho hang Sap of a new mark. In tho Penn relays uiaMo wonderful tlmo on a slow track, Ct the competition was not there, and he ven. u he pleased. is we have remarked before. It Isn t an Hit thine to break a world's record, rer un that Is the reason so few aro broken. ni athlete must be In the very best of LMon. tho day must bo Ideat with little -jlnd, the track In good shape, and, last of fl, there must; ue buiho rem competition. Was the runner Is pushed the cntlro Matinee he will not extend himself, for ithletes, like other people, nro not nnx few to punish themselves unless they Uve to. Competition Not Keen Sf Ihit Is the reclpo for breaking records, 'tat strange as It may seem, some of tho ggrealentS wero mismuK un auturuuy. Hiredith Wis In excellent shape, but tho tjtciwas not In tho best of shape and, with iSdiie respect to Wlndnagle, of Cornell, tho ecwpetltlon was not conduclvo to fast time. Xtt Cornell man did not set the pace, but wrtly hung on a couple of yards In tho nor and stayed there until tho end. Ted )anped out In front, set the paco tho entlro $Kince Bnd tno only warning he had that ill opponent was near was tho crunching Wpatof the spiked shoes behind him. He nw windnaclo was close and that was jftts only thing that spurred him on. . Lack of competition cost tho Penn flyer two seconds In the first quarter. He plan. Ultorun In. 63 seconds, but made It In 65. That forced him to travel tho last 440 jtril In 57 1-5 seconds, which is ciuito a tux for a man who Is tired. Had ho been juiita In the first part of the race Mere dith would have hung up a mark that would ! Utl (or many years to come. No attempt 1b being mado to detract ( from th wonderful performance of Wlnd- . BZfio..,ae ran it wuuucnui ruuu uiiu uiif JlMSFJiacan finish the half-mllo run within tbttii record deserves all kinds of credit. Tiallhacan ran better than ever before In V$ life and when one realizes that this Halir work was uono 46 minutes after ho W finished second in tho mile run, which Mwon In 4 minutes and 26 seconds, It is tecuiary to pause and hand out a few taquets. But Wlndnagle Is a plugger and not a K sprinter. He can hold n. certain pace If thero Is n good pacemaker and bo Just ns strong at the finish. Ha hr-s little sprint at the end and that la where Meredith beat him out. There is quite a difference betwen Ted's work Saturday and his performance In Stockholm four years ago, when he first smashed the record. At that time Mere dith, who had. Just finished Mercersburg nnd was the rlpo old age of 19, was forced to extend hlmlosf from the start and won only after a heart-breaking sprint at the finish, Melvln Sheppard was responsible for the new record, but that was because lto was after It himself. He set tho pace up to the last 20 yards, when ho faltered Just long enough for tho Mercersburg boy to hurl himself to tho front nnd win by the scant margin of ono yard, Thero Is a story connected with this race which Is worth repeating, In Stockholm tho best athletes In the .world wero en tered In tho various events nnd the lists wero large. It was necessary to run three heats In tho dlstanco events and they were held on tlirco separato days. Sheppard won his heat In the 800 metres run on tho first day and Meredith finished second to Braun, tho German. In all, eight races wero run, and tho first two men qualified for the semi-finals to be held on tho following afternoon, , i Sheppard Left nt Post Whon tho scml-flnals wero run off eight men faced tho starter In tho first heat. Sheppard, Braun and Meredith wero among those present and fast time was looked for. Sheppard got off to a bad Btart, however, nnd wns left at tho post when the starter fired his pistol. Ho soon caught up with the field, but was on tho outside and Just qualified at the finish when he came In fourth. , Meredith won the event In 1.64 2-6. After tho race, Mel Sheppard was sore. Ho had a narrow escape and vowed that ha never would have another. "Tomorrow thero will be some tall run ning In the 800 metres," he said. "Any one who wants to stay In tho race will do the first 100 yards In 10 Boconds flat. This stunt of losing tho pole and running around tho field Is too much Ilka work." Mel kept his word In tho final race. At tho crack of the gun he started out llko a 10-second man, with Meredith close on his heels and Braun right behind. Sheppard kept tho lead and made tho first quarter in 62 1-6 seconds. He had no Idea that Mere dith was pushing him, but Imagined It was tho German, and kept up the furious pace In tho hope of tiring him out. Falters in Stretch In the home stretch ho faltered, nnd Mer edith came on with a rush and won- by a close margin. Ho finished the 800 metres In 1:67 9-10, but kept on until the half mllo mark had been passed. Thjs was six yards further, and the distance Was covered In 3-6 of a second. Tho speed at the finish was remarkable as Meredith was traveling at a 10-second clip for 100 yards. Meredith does not conllne nil of his star work to the half mile. Last summer ho ran 440 yards In :47 flat on a straightaway, and In tho relays he was timed at :47 3-5 around the oval. He also holds tho world's record for 6G0 yards Indoors, with 1:12 2-5. In tho Dartmouth meet two weeks ago Ted won tho 100 yardB dash In 10 1-6, but three watches caught him in 10 seconds flat. Ho also captured tho 220 yards dash in 22 seconds. All of which goes to show that Meredith Is the greatest runner the world has ever seen, nnd when he lays away his spiked shoes after tho Intercolleglates next week the University of Pennsylvania will suffer an Irreparable loss.

The remaining two weeks will And nil the Athletes hclns groomed nnd pointed for the tlnal contest on May 27. That the Intcrcolteglates will bo nn ovent where aomo remarkable performances will bo BtRRed was manifested by tho dual meot of Saturday last. Never before have tho competition nnd times been so good. Thero has been severnl years when remarkablo performances have been pulled off In the dual meets, but this year shows every event with a good, fast nnd well-matched field, Cornell last Saturday had tho best dual meot team I have ever seen or expect to see, Moakley wns represented In every ovont by men who looked llko tho real thing, big, strong, clean-cut fellows that tnko work and get better for It. With material like that Cornell Is bound to be In tho fore In track athletics. .. Penn Weakened This Is tho biggest score Cornell has ever run up on Pennsylvania. They found us n weakened team and In such a condition that we could not fight them back. We might havo scored a few more points had we doubled up Bomo of the men, but it would not havo won for us nnd the work would not havo benefited our team. To predict that Cornell will win tho Inter collcglatea seems llko telling tho public something of which they nro positive after seeing tho lied nnd White team perform Saturday on Franklin Field. Tho only Cornell man to fall down wns Richards. The Olympic champion held his field too lightly and had to suffer defeat at tho hands of four men, nil of whom he would have beaten easily had ho paid more attention to his jumping at tho lower heights. Overconfident I havo often seen men too confident nnd suffer n licking na the result, and this was such a case. Two things wero brought out Saturday by ono tacc tho half-mile first, that Wlndnnglo never knew how fast ho could run until he was drawn out, nnd, second, that should ho Bet a fast pneo In tho Inter collegiate mllo ovent ho will beat Overton, of Yale, who has been conceded tho race by nearly all the critics. Overton, duo to his good running this winter In tho Indoor meets, has been picked by many as the winner of the one-mllo race, and they nro showing good Judgment by It. Under ordinary conditions Overton would win, but under certain conditions, and they to be that the mllo Is run from the crack of tho pistol to tho tape at n hard and fast pace, I feel that Wlndnagle will win. Ho Is n hard runner and possesses a lot of strength and endurance, which, under tho strain and excitement of the Intcrcol legtates, would bo hard to beat. Meredith Surprised I was the most surprised on Saturday of any one on Franklin Field when I entered tho stretch and found him at my shoulder. I did not think ho had tho speed to stay up that long, and he had me pretty well wor ried about 150 yards from the tape. He drove mo Into a sprint, nnd I lost my form for nbout 50 yards, but finally got It Just btfc fore tho finish. My head went back andll got too straight up In tho ntr, which toJk all tho finish out of me. If he had nht Jumped mo so fast I could have held rsiy form and finished much stronger. J I did start out to try to break the rccorn, but went too slow to the quarter mark. M this point I might have slowed the pace Up had Wlndnagle not been so close up. This drove mo the next furlong In 27 seconds, which was much too fast for ideal half run ning. When I was told nt tho C60-yard mark that the time was 1:22, I knew that I had a chance and Intended from then on to try; but whether I had Intended to or not I was given no choice, for Wlndnaglo drove me homo from that mark, and It took nil I had to win. It was n hard race In that It waa not paced right nnd it would not have taken so much out of me had I done my first quarter In 53 seconds. Collegiate Winners Tho Yale-Harvard dual meet resulted Just na I expected. When I figured It out last week I said Yale would win by at least 20 points, and they won by 23 points. Thla meet brought out two men who look llkr Intercollegiate winners. Tlsch ner'fl 100 yards In 9 4-5 and his 220 yards In 21 8-5 seconds mal.es him look a Bhado better than Smith, of Michigan, who won In 10 flat nnd 22 seconds. Whether Tlschner can go through tho heats of theBe two events and still show thlB time Is a question In my mind. I don't think he will stand up under the work aa well na Smith will. Farwell, of Yale, registered the best time made In the East this year In tho 220 low hurdles when ne won in j -o octoimn, This beats all the other low hurdlers' time by a good .margin. Simpson Big Star While the Easterners were doing their Btunts on Saturday, Simpson, of Missouri, was proving himself a track team In him self and won Ave first places in a dual meet against Kansas. Simpson also proved that his 14 4-5 of two weeks ago was not a nhoney performance, and did the same time In this meet. Thla should convince the Record Committee that Simpson In a hurd ler of rare ability and Is capable of doing We shall start In the homestretch now at Franklin Field and get our team whipped Into final trim for the Intercolleglates. Our hopes for finishing well up depend on a few men, and these men will get all the atten. tlon from now on. - YOUNG ELECTED PRESIDENT Will Preside Over Sporting Writers' Association This Season YouBir. editor of the elected president of Iha at ino mutual Jamea W...

Exhibition Matches, in Which Miss Bjurstedt Stnrred, Cleverly Played Exhibition tcnnli Is often npt to de genorato Into n series of carelessly played games between two opponents who care very llttlo whether thoy win or lose. But last Saturday, Wilmington Country Club staged a really unique exhibition match. Unique becauso It brought out hnrd-fought, Interesting and at times sensational ten nis. The dny'a events opened with Mlsi Molla Bjurstedt playing JIIss Mnrle Wngner. Miss Bjurstedt, as usual, started slowly whllo JIIss Wngner opened with n rush, winning tho first thrco games easily. Hiss Bjurstedt then braced and pulled up even nt 3 nil. From then on, tho match was close nnd exciting. Miss Bjurstedt Is a greatly Improved player this Bcason. Last year any ono could see tho flans In her game. This sea son, these Haws havo either been eliminated or changed. Sho has devotoped a hard, clean, backhand ground stroke, something that last year sho totally lacked. Her net game, lust season so childishly weak com pared to the rest of her nttnek, Is this sea son qui to adequate. Miss Bjurstedt docs not hellevo In net attacks nnd therefore hns only developed n defensive volley. But with this shot sho enn Bavo herself from the method of nttack used effectively against her Inst season by Mrs. McLean and Mrs. WIghtman, of pulling her In with a short shot nnd then lobbing to her. This year sho can volley back deep and rctrlovo back court position. Following the ladles' singles. George M. Church, tho Delaware Stato tltleholdcr, de feated William T Tllden, 2d, In a mntch roplcte with brilliant shots by tho score of C-4, 3-C, C-4.
