Won Great Relay Race

Michigan won the great 4-mile relay race on Franklin field, Philadelphia, Saturday afternoon after a hard struggle. Yale was a close second. From start to finish the race was a hot one. In the first relay Chicago finished first with Wisconsin and Yale close up to her. On the second relay Michigan crept up to third place, passing Chicago, who was also passed by Wisconsin, which took the lead, and Yale, Pennsylvania, followed Chicago with Harvard and Columbia some distance back in the rear. At the end of the third mile Yale was in the lead with Michigan a close second. Wisconsin had dropped back to third, Pennsylvania was a bad fourth and Chicago had fallen back with Harvard and Columbia in the "also ran" class. The fourth mile was the fastest of the race, Kellogg of Michigan and Franchett of Yale setting out at a fast clip which they maintained to the end, Kellogg winning by about two yards. Pennsylvania was third, followed by Wisconsin, Chicago, Harvard and Columbia.

Michigan's team was Waite, Perry, Conger and Kellogg. Time by miles: 4:40 3/5, 9:22 3/5, 14:04 3/5, 18:39 4/5.

The 100-yard dash was won by R. Schick, of Harvard, in 10 seconds. A . Hahn of Michigan, was a close second and C. Blair, of Chicago, third.

Michigan's four-mile relay team covered itself with glory and earned the earnest thanks of every Michigan supporter, by winning the championship of the United States in the big meet yesterday afternoon on Franklin Field.

Reports of the day's events are rather meagre, but that Michigan won there is not the slightest doubt. The good news was first received by long distance phone from Chicago about 5:15 p.m., just as the crowd was leaving the baseball grounds. All that carne over the phone were the words, 'Kellogg won." No details could be obtained nor could the time be ascertained. Later Prof. Pattengill received a short dispatch from Keene Fitzpatrick giving the time as 18:39 2/5, just three seconds slower than that made last year. This dispatch also stated that the 100-yard dash was won by Shick of Harvard in 10 seconds flat, with Archie Hahn second. The Daily had made arrangements with a member of the team for a telegraphic dispatch giving the particulars of the two events in which Michigan participated, but for some unfortunate cause it has not been received up to the time of going to press.

The students received the news with great enthusiasm, which finally culminated in a rousing bonfire on the campus in front of the medical building. The enthusiasm was intense and the celebration was kept up until a late hour.

Kellogg, Conger,  Perry and Waite each get a handsome gold watch from the University of Pennsylvania, under whose auspices the meet was held, and in addition to this Waite will be awarded in "M". The other men have all won "Ms" in previous years, but will also get new "M" this year whether they win them again later in the year or not. The men have acquitted themselves with great credit and deserve and will receive the heartfelt thanks of their alma mater. They have forced recognition from the proud East and have raised still higher the fame of Michigan throughout the land. Honor be to them.
