Portland, Maine, February 18--

Making the most of his 25 yard handicap, J. S. Flaksman '29 tonight won the one mile race in the games of the Portland American Legion, in the time of 4 minutes, 29 and four-fifths seconds. Close behind him ran Reed with a 15 yard handicap, while Haggerty, University Captain starting from scratch came in third.

The shot put went to Guarnaccia at 43-feet 9 inches. He had a handicap of 2 feet which enabled him to beat Pratt who heaved the shot 43 feet 7 inches with no handicap.

Faced with a considerable lead to overcome, the Boston University relay team entered the last quarter of its race against the Crimson, with the chances of victory very slim indeed. Running anchor against Captain Haggerty, Mastaglio of the Terriers, however, performed the seemingly impossible; overcame his handicap, and leaping to the fore broke the tape a foot in front of the Harvard leader. The time was 3 minutes, 9 and four-fifths seconds.

In the handicap sprint event, at 40 yards, Francis Hussey of Boston College running from scratch, won his major victory of the year. The former Stuyvesant High School and Olympic sensation had little difficulty to bursting past his rivals. Lundell, veteran Crimson sprinter, came in third immediately behind Morrill of Boston University.

Once again, Montgomery Wells, stellar Dartmouth hurdler, flashed through in five and four fifths seconds to equal his own world's record for the event. In second place, Ballantyne of the University ran a fine race but was distanced.
