PHILADELPHIA, Pa. May 1s.
No one has ever yet succeeded in rightly
predicting the result of the great inter
collegiate field day.
Formerly Harvard Yale and Princeton

fine chance to defeat Yale, and California
may press Harvard for third place. Some
eighteen colleges and universities compete,
and to be even fourth In the summary OF point
winnings is great honor for California.
Closely estimating, Pennsylvania and Yale
should each score between thirty and thirty
tween ten and twenty. thus leaving about
thirty points to be divided between Princeton,
Union, Dartmouth, Cornell, Columbia and the
other Eastern universities. 1t is perh aps
easier to say what the records in each event

liams. Chatain Of Columbia and Bigelow of
Harvard have run in 10 1-5 seconds. 1t is a
mere guess to pick the winner from sucn fast
company, although Ramsdell is the favorite.
With a twenty-two-second record he is also
Princeton, and the U. C. pair, Barnes and Scog-
gins, are good for about % 2-5 seconds.
Sterrett of Pennsylvania, Wade of Yale, Vim

run the quarter in the neishborhood OF 5013
seconds, and Koch of the U. c. is generally put
in their company.

Brenner of Harvard. Cady OF Yale should
take second, with the U. C. men near him.
Thus, the Californians should be heard from in
the furlong and quavter-mile runs, the walk

the track events. They should have the same
fortune in the field.

and Brown of Yale bringing up the procession.
A 43-feet record is expected.
| The hammcr-throw will doubtless go the
| same way, with Edgren, q. c., Patterson, Cor
nell, and Cross, Yale, fighting for second and
| third. Edgren, under Champion Mitchell's
| instructions, is quite at sea, having lost his
| own knack and not yet acquired MitchelPs.
Kershaw and Thomas of Yale will have 1t
out in the pole-vault, with Bucheltz, "the iron
man" and Stewart OF Pennsylvania The
Pennsylvsnia men are the favorites.

especially with Patterson. although he is show

| There are 655 entries in these games, so each
Californian will only have hfty-nine and frac-

| ffty-nine, but the fraction is the last straw.
There are SO many entries that two days are
required 20 run off the trial and final heats
The trials come off Friday afternoon.
OF course this prediction is liable to be wrong,
for "dark horses" may come out or athletes
may be paralyZed at the start fall in the race.
Still the Californians are very liable to secure
places in the 220, 440, walk, the jumps, the
hurdles, bicycle and the mmer-throwing III
they do, they will be satisfied; if they do not,
they will not be disappointed, for they realize
that mum bers are against them
The Intercollegiate Association has chal-
lensed Oxford and Cambridge to field day
If the challenge is accepted The first and second
men in each event ~ Mott Haven will be sent
proceeds from Mott Haven will be used to de-
fray tho exDenses.
