1T TIE INTERCOLLEGIATE MEET.

Harvard, and Princeton West In Evidence.
Tho twenty.second annual tournament for the
Intercollegiate track and fold championship
opened at Berkeley Oval yesterday afternoon in
a fashion which promised brilliant sport for this
afternoon. Tho preliminary card consisted Of
trial heats in the high and low hurdles and In
the runs up to half q mile. while the candidates
for the infleld honors were sifted down to ave in
each event. Although not decisive, tho contests
were spirited and interesting In many instances.

No special trains wero run from town and
there was no necessity for them. as there were

from the city. The sun shone with midsummer
warmth and made the well-kept path and infleld
fast and springy under foot. An Intermittent
breeze tempered the heat, but while 1t con-
tributed to tho comfort of onlookers It hampered
the runners in almost every track event and
made fast times In the sprints and hurdles i'm

construed by some as indicating that the quality
OF the competitors was not up to the usual high
