The 29th annual Penn relay carol.

I O‘clock on Franklin Field. Philadel-
phia. With a program calling for
I. dve'nts. 32 scheduled for this after-
noon and 48 for tomorrow afternoon.
and with entries from every section
of this country. together with the 0x-
ford delegation and representatives
from Canada. the meet is only sur-
pa-ed by the Olympic games.
Between 3 o'clock and 6:20 o'clock
this afternoon. hordes of athletes will
be seen in action in nine grammar
school relays. eight high school relays.
five individual college events. includ'.
ing the pentathlon: five champion-
ship college relay events. three paro-
chial school relays. one preparatory
school championship relay and a relay
race for the John Wanamaker Com-
mercial Institute of New York and
Philadelphia.
The carnival starts with the broad‘
jump of the pentathlon and closes
with the sprint medley relay race. in
which Oxford will compete. The in-
ternational two-mile race comes at 5
o'clock. separated from the sprint
medley by the 1,500 metres race of
the pentathlon.
Coming at the end of the day's pro-
gram. the sprint medley will be a
fitting climax for the first day. Law-
son Robertson. coach of the Penn
track team. has been greatly im-
pressed with the Englishmen. lie has
watched the men practise on the
Franklin Field track and although he
admits their running form is awk-
ward. Robbie. nevertheless. is en-
thusiastic over their speed. knowl-
edge of running and their all-round
condition.
Captain Bill Milligan is the only,
member of the party who was present
at the Penn relays in 1020. He will
run the tlnal lap on the relay. the
half-mils distance. and with Allan
Helfrich of Penn State. the anchor
man for the State. a great race is ex-
pected.
For the first time since this event
has appeared on the Penn relay pro-
gram the University of Pennsylvania
will not be represented. The Red
and Blue lost only once. that being in
1918.
Harvard. Princeton and Georgetown
are among the leading colleges en-
tered. Bill Martin will have a strong
Crimson team with Chapln. Merl-ll.
Fletcher and Captain Burke.
The two-mile international race is
today's big individual event. Morgan.
the Oxford representative, will have
the best American college distance
runners against hiln.
Douglas of Yale. Higgins of Colum-
bia. Thompson of Hamilton. Booth of
Johns Hopkins. Bonsail of Cornell
and Dykman of Carnegie Tech are
counted upon to force the foreign in-
vader to run in his best form to win.
The distance medley has lost much
of its attraction with the withdrawal
of Oxford. Georgetown. Syracuse.
Pennsylvania. Columbia. and Cornell
will try to maize up for the loss.
“'altnr Higgins will have to run two
races within less than an hour. The
distance medley comes at 4.20 o'clock
and the two-mile international race
at 5 o'clock.
Fred Iootcl of Bowdoin College,
winner of the indoor intercollpginto
hammer throw championship. is the
favorite for that event. Word has
come down from Brunswick, Mm.
that he has born breaking the rec~
0rd in practice.

“Come on you Exterminator!"
For years that has~ been the college
yell of the running tracks.
“Come on you Exterminator!"
Right mobly has the great eight-
year-old responded to that yell. As a
result. Exterminator by winning one
more rare will be in a position to take
away a record now held by Man 0'

When Man 0' “'ar was retired from
the track his winnings amounted to
3249.465. nearly a quarter of a. mil-

That win brought Exterminator's
money winning total to $248,066. Just
$1.409 less than Man 0' \Ver's record.
Another win in a race carrying a

that his great courage alone enabled
him to win a show position.
His fine performance in the Phila-
