Philadelphia, Pa., April 26--Coming from behind with a sustained burst of speed, Captain J. L. Reid '29 carried his distance medley relay quartet to a second place in one of the most sensational races of the first day of the Penn Relay Carnival which started here today. Warm weather and a fast track aided the Crimson leader in covering the final mile leg in the extraordinarily fast time of 4 minutes, 21 seconds.
This event was captured by a well-balanced Pennsylvania outfit. Harvard was represented by F. E. Cummings '30, running a quarter, G. W. Smith '29 a half, J. O. Wildes '29 three fifths of a mile, and Reid.
The other relay event in which Harvard placed was the sprint medley in which a team composed of G. A. Tupper '29, T. F. Mason '30, V. L. Hennessy '30, and David Cobb '31, came in fourth. New York University, the winner in this race, set up an astonishing record of 3 minutes, 28 and 1-5 seconds, breaking the previous mark by six seconds. The event is run in four legs of 440, 330, 330, and 880 yards respectively. The running of Tupper who covered the quarter in 49 and 3-5 seconds featured from the Harvard angle.
The one individual Crimson entry, F. J. Mardulier '30, covered the 120-yard high hurdle course in 16 seconds to place third in his heat.
