RELA Y TEAM It was evident from the first that the Relay Team for this year would be one of the best Germantown had ever turned out, for we had all last year's team back again. The trials were held at Franklin Field two weeks before the Pennsylvania races, and the boys finished in the following order: Campbell, Shoemaker, Coleman, Lea, Mech- ling and Sheble. On the following Saturday the team ran in the Princeton games. Captaini Lea was sick so Wfatson, one of last year's team, ran in his place. The team ran very well and finished second, only being beaten by Balti- more City College. At the Pennsylvania races all of the team were in good condition, and Captain Lea ran first, finishing in the lead. Our second run- ner, Coleman, gained about fifteen yards. He tagged Campbell, who hardly held the large lead. Cnr last runner was Shoemaker. He broke the string while iifteen yards ahead of the De Lancey man, who finished second. The team ran the mile in the astonishing time of 3.37, and holds the Cf. A. record. The former time was 3.46. VVe came in first, making the best time of all the preparatory schools and bringing a new banner to old G. A. 107
