...time for the 400-metre hurdles was 55 2/5 sec. Two yards behind him was Lord David George Brownlow Cecil Burghley of Cambridge University, who had been speedier two years ago. The other Cambridgian, T. C. Livingstone-Learmouth, who had led the way over half of the hurdles, finished a yard behind Lord Burghley. On the second day of the Penn Carnival last week Lord Burghley and his colleagues showed gentlemen from Yale and Pennsylvania how to win a 480-yard shuttle relay in a nasty rain, without knocking over a single hurdle. The U. S. boys slipped, floundered, smote...
...will tackle the Daily Princetonian diamond aggregation on Soldiers Field this morning. Either F.V. Field '27 or J.F.

British physiologist, demonstrated electrical devices that will record a runner's time to 1/200 second. The method involves burying electric coils in the ground at intervals across the finish line; tying a light, magnetized sheet of metal to the runner's waist. The magnet induces brief electric currents in the buried coils as the runner flashes in. Electricity, literally lightning swift, may quicken many a "dead" (tied) heat, shave...
