Philadelphia Pa May 3. The Penn-
sylvania relay carnival which brought
2S.000 persons to Franklin Field a
week ago has had a wonderful devel-
opment in the 20 years if its existence.
In 1895 ten colleges and eight schools
took part while this year 100 colleges
and 200 schools were represented.
Each year since its Inception this
event has grown in popularity and the
competition has become steadily Leener.
Because of the greatly Increased num-
ber of entries this year it was found
necessary to deTote two days to the
sport instead of one day as in previous
ears.
The relay races were begun In 189&
In whith year 18 relay teams were en-
teied in the events. Four of the teams
represented Philadelphia institutions.
This year more than 1508 contestant
tickets were issued which is 000 mora
than were sent out last year and ev-
ery college and school of any import-
ance between the Atlantic and Pacific
was represented at the games.
nsrrard and Yale Compete.
In the early years of the races Har-
vard and Pennsylvania were the only
contestants in the one mile champion-
ships. Yale soon Joined the pair and
the Crimson and Blue were Penn's
greatest competitors for the first ten
years but for a time those two univer-
sities did not send their best teams.
Harvard and Yale both returned to the
fold tbls year the former finishing see-
omi to PennBylania in the one mile
event in -which a new world's recorcl
was made while Yale -was third in the
two mile title event and won the one
mile freshman championship.
Pennsylvania Has Won 22.
Pennslvania has won more of these
championship events than any other
college which Is accounted for by the
fact that the Quakers enter a team in
each of the three championships every
year. Other 'colleges cannot do this
for various reasons. Pennsylvania
has won 22 championships winning the
four mile event eight times and the
one mile event four times and the one
mile freshman race twice.
The peculiar part of the gamea i-i that
Cornell has won but two champion-
ships which ran be explained in vari-
ous was. The Ithacans do not put
their best efforts Into getting into
shape for the relays but this year Cor-
nell was represented by a speedy quar-
tet of milers. and easily captured the
four mile championship.
The rela races have been the means
of developing more eood men at the
