Evans ran second against Hetherington and cut down the lead 3 yards; time 2.03. The third relay was run by Shipley. He ran a beautiful race in 2 minutes flat, leaving his man, Marsh, nearly 20 yards behind; when Jennings started on the final round aganst Zinc, who was unable to cut down Dartmouth's lead, which Jennings kept, finishing in 2.00 3-5S and 33 yards ahead.

The relay team consisting of Captain Jennings, Prichard, Soule, and Cams was defeated by the Pennsylvania quartet at the B. A. A. games, Saturday evening, February 16. It was the race of the evening, and the wearers of the Green, greatly handicapped by the loss of Evans and Shipley, put up a game struggle to the finish, losing by fifteen yards. Pennsylvania was in the prime of condition and ran like a winner from start to finish, successfully keeping the lead all the way. The time, 7m, 18s, was the fastest for the two-mile relay event. A. B. Shaw 'OB won a great race in the 45-yard high hurdles. Shaw fought his way through the trials and semi-finals, until in the final race he gained a brilliant victory for Dartmouth. Many crack hurdlers cleared the bars in opposition., but few of them saw more than Shaw's heels in the final heat.

The relay team will enter the twomile intercollegiate championship race at Philadephia March 23.
