...several more yards, but on the last lap Pennypacker cut the distance down so that D. Caldwell's lead over H. W. Minot '17 was but six yards. Caldwell succeeded in widening the gap considerably and Halpin, the B. A. A. champion, by clever starting secured nearly a quarter of a lap lead over W. Willcox '17.

A fourth official was named, to be known as the field judge, who shall act as timekeeper, and aid the umpire in carrying out his duties...
Both of them are medley relays. In one race the first man will run a quarter-mile, the next man a half-mile, the third man three-quarters of a mile and the last man a mile. In the other new championship relay race the first and second men will run 220 yards, the third man 440 yards and the fourth man 880 yards.
