the 880-yard run.Levy tossed the
shot put to a new intercollegiate
mark with a heave of 49 feet 1 inch,
breaking the former mark of 48
feet 8 inches which was set by Dave
Adelman, of Georgetown, in 1928.
Wolfe won the mile after a thrill-
ing race with Martin, Cornell star,
who challenged the Michigan soph- 1
omore throughout. Martin passedI
Wolfe on the turn. but wa c norcard
out in a close finish. The time for
the race was 4 minutes and 25 3-5'
seconds, breaking the meet record.
Danna shot past Homan of Cornell
to take third place.
Elmer, of Cornell, spilled the!
dope by running away with thej
quarter mile after Dale Seymourl
had led throughout the first lap.
Elmer sped past. .the; Michigan
sprinter on the last 220 yards, fin-
ishing ahead by a close margin.
Russell, of Michigan, was a poor
third.
Eddie Tolan Wins Dash.
Eddie Tolan and Campbell, Wol-
verine sprinters, came through with
expected wins in the dash, Meinig
of Cornell winning his team's onlyl
point in the race by nosing out
Smith at the finish. Cornell scored
heavily in the high hurdles, the
score standing 18 all 'at the time,
when Heasey and Clark ran one-'
two.
In the two mile, Pattison, Lever-
ing, and Ranney finished in a dead
Ieat after Fitzgibbons of Michigan
had led at the half way mark. This
slam clinched the' meet for the
Red team. Fitzgibbons put up a
courageous sprint near the finish,
but was unable to close the gap.
Leeman and Duloff raced to first
and second respectively in the 880
event to increase the Cornell lead.
