Braving the Penn relay clash amid cancellations and bold athletes
Big Alex struggles with form after a pay raise as the Braves dominate the Slants in a recent town seance. Johnny McGraw’s clan mirrors the feat. Penn authorities defend continuing relay games despite widespread outdoor sports cancellations. Missouri fans fund Bob Simpson’s Penn meet trip while Babe Ruth remains fierce amid tough weather. Charley Hayes becomes track captain of the Sixth Regiment after St John’s prep. Holy Cross misses a chance at brackets by skipping Penn relay action. Andy Kelly would have won the 100 if present.
