Mahon '22 following him at some distance in that order, until the last lap. Here Reycroft dropped behind, after having run a fine race, and Mahon and Hendrle started to fight for the second place.

The filers will be allowed to practice as often as possible before the meet as the second and third events consist of stunting and landing to a mark for accuracy. The first event will be a 12-mile race in two six-mile laps. There will be two heats, and the winners will race one six-mile lap for first place.

...games, and also in the Penn Relay Carnival. In the Yale race he gave one of the most thrilling exhibitions of determination to win that track followers have ever seen, when, starting several yards behind, he fought his way ahead of the Yale runner in the last lap and led him to the tape by a few feet. In the Penn Relay Carnival it was chiefly Bingham's running which brought the pennant to the University team...
