VARSITY STARS To- MEET.
PROMISING OTTLOOk THE IN
TERCOLLEGIA TE GAMES.

, In collegiate and athletic circles the sole
topic OF conversation at present Is the outlook
for the annual Intercollegiate championship
meeting to be held tomorrow and Saturday
on Manhattan Field The partisans Of the dif-
ferent colleges have debated the chances Of
institutions and individuals since the entries
were published. but although il is admitted on
all sides that there are a few moral certainties,
the majority Of the events are more open than
usual. sure TO produce exciting contests. and
in some cases probably new records.
Acommittce meeting will be held tonight at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel to decide on any pro-
tests that may be made. but Gustavus T.
Kirby. a mem Der Of the Advisory Committee.
said last night that he knew Of no objection to
be lodged against any OF tho prominent
performers. and he fully expected many
record breaking performances. Many OF the
colleges will have their teams in this city to-
day ana some Of the cracks will take their final
practice at Manhattan Field this afternoon.
The track has been specially prepared for the
occasion under the supervision Of +. J Clam
mini, the Athletic Director Of the n. Y. &C.
and is now in good shape.
The University Of Pennsylvania. with four
such cracks as Kraenzlein. Tewkesbury. Grant
and McCracken. is conceded to have the best
chance OF securing the greatest number OF first
second and third strings. and It is quite on the
cards that either Yale or Harvard may win

In the hundrcd and furlong sprints Tewkes-

the two cracks competing. the intercollegiate
record may be again improved.
The remarkable record Of IL feet 10H inches
made by r. Clapp OF. Yale in the pole vault

himself at that event. He will be backed up
