Barry; for th third time, won th pentethlion championship of America at th recent Pennsylvania relay carnival, was a member of two Pennsylvania football teams and base.. ball nines. H finished hi athletlo career by running a splendid' half-mil ' for th Quaker In Us two-mile re lay race, his own particular exhibition enabling the Red and Blue to win this . event. Meredith, who graduated from Pennsylvania last spring, was the of tentimes winner of both th quarter ana the hall mil. at the intercollegiate Championship ana bold th world's record for both th.se events. Distance lend no enchantment to , the performance of the athlete as it doe In most everything else In life. , On the contrary the preaent day win ner is always lauded as, the greatest ever. The champion 1 a nine day wonder. Thus we find a Philadelphia newspaper, following the , announce ment that Berry was going to join the aviation corps, saylnr, "There is no to the meet This was before the present method of scoring was la I vogue.
