PENN INTERCOLLEGIATES
State Men Make Excellent Showing
Against 'Opponents on Franklin
Figld.
Although the Penn State team
contested with faster opponents last ,
Saturday than a relay team from this
college has ever before met in the
big meet on Franklin Field, and did
not secure one of the coveted first
three places, it nevertheless sowed
better form and ran in better time
than has been made rezently our
rnen. , The team was this year placed
in the third claSs, as against the
fourth last year, and found itself en
tereagainst two new aid strong op
ponents in Swarthmore and Lafay
ette Colleges which finished first
and second +pectively. Pratt In
4itute was third, our own team tak
ing fourth place from Rutgers Col
lege, which Won the event in our
class last year, The finish was close,
the race was won' in 3.28 2-5 and
our last man crossed the line in 3:30,
two seconds better than the winning
time made in the event last year!
The indications point to a s' eady
improvement net only in the Imlay
team alone, but in the entire,track
team, and the shOWing made in the
race in Philadelphia last Saturday is
creditable to the men, and should, be
encouraging ,to the entire, college.
Miller 'll and Smith 'll, Reckef us
'l3 and Chubb '3.2, ran in the order
named, and Guyer was chosen
as substitute. Three 9f the men are
last year's veterans opf last year's I team, and all
