Cos CélèbreDr. William H. Cosby, Penn Relays afficionado since kindergarten, has been at home on Franklin Field for some 50 years as spectator, competitor, official and mentor--and in 1990 as recipient of Penn's honorary degree.

Some 350 events will be spread over 30 hours of competiton, starting with decathlon and heptathlon events and relays Thursday at 10:30 a.m. From then on there will be one race every five minutes. Admission for Penn students, faculty and staff is free on Thursday and Friday; tickets for Saturday are $15-$30 for faculty and staff and $5 for students.
