U. second, Cornell third. Joe McCluskey of Fordham won the 3,000-metre steeplechase for the third year in a row.

Healey) run the second fastest race in Penn Relay history, with Yale second and N. Y. U., the favorite, third. In Des Moines, at the 24th Drake Relay Carnival: Ralph Metcalfe, famed Negro sprinter of Marquette, after three days of outdoor practice, retained his 100-yd. championship (but failed to set the new record of 9.2 sec. he had hoped for), ran as anchor man on the Marquette team that beat Nebraska in the 880-yd. relay.
