The relay team won the class A event in theymeet held under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania, and later on took third place in the event for the high school relay championship of the United States. ,Clinton again defeated us in the annual dual meet, however.

S. A. L. Championships for the second consecutive time. Unfortunately We lost to Clinton in the annual dual meet. The feature of the team was the relay, consisting of lXflcAlpin, Pfletsch- inger, Vorhis and Geis. This four performed consistently all season, and finally broke the American record for the high school mile relay, establishing a mark of 3 minutes, 34 3-5 seconds. Baseball prospects were hampered by the resignation of lVIr. Klanguse from the position of coach, but Mr. Hance came to the rescue and took the reins in his hands. The team did not hit its stride until after the opening game, but altogether it had an enviable record. Coach-MR. VVILLIAM HANCE Manager-F. W. BISHOP Captain-L. T. VoRH1s Team.
