American School Fuh Tan

American's Easy Win in Track and Field Meet The track and field team of the Shanghai American School triumphed over the Fuh Tan University representatives in a meet held on Saturday afternoon at the oval of the China National Amateur Athletie Federation in the French Concession. The S. A. S. scored 73 points against Fuh Tan's 44, The American School won no fewer than nine out of 18 events: while the Varsity cinder-men could only manage to snatch four firsts. The Fuh Tan team is the strongest among the local colleges and has captured the inter-collegiate title 'a meet that took place a week ago|- under the control of the Shanghai Students Union for the welfare of the soldiers in the Northern expedition.

Marriott was credited with five wins and proved to be the best all-round athlete of the School. Lee Wei-nee and Bien Yoong-nee, the champion distance runners, failed to make an impression upon the American lads and were content to be beaten by Baker and Bankhardt. However, they put up a hard fight.
