WEATHER CONDITIONS UNFAvORABLE

gate amateur athletic tHdiiiPiOhsHiP
games were begun yesterday on Col
umbia Field (Which was formerly known
as Manhattan Field), before meagre
crowd OF spectators. and under weather
conditions which were anything but
promising for good afternoons sport,
The cinder track was soggy and iuiiy
two-fifths of a second slow and the IN
field was practically a quagmire TAX
ing everytl/lg into consideration, the
results of me afternoon trials We're
more satisfactory than could nave pseh
expected. and the nnals touay
should bring about some of the most
exciting finishes ever seen in the his
tory OF amateur athletics.
Pennsylvania gathered in enough po-
sitions TO warrant a prediction OF VIC
tory for the red and blue striped atm
letes today. Their supremacy can
be attributed to the prowess or "A. y.
Kraenzlein, who qualified In four events
and has a big possibility of scoring nrst
honors in the finals of three out OF four
of these events He was running nice
ly i'm the 100-yard dash, and in the broad
Jump he was to the fore. his closest
competitor being Prinstein of Syracuse.
ard IL is unnecessary TO say that ne
romped home in his trials over the
high and low hurdles
In ne 1OO-yard daA Jarvis of Prince
ton seems to be the only. stumbling
block in the way of Kraenzlein. scor-
ing four winning brackets in the nnals
this afternoon.
Prinstein of Syracuse will have hot
argument with the Pennsylvania for
broad jumping honors. but. judging
from the exhibition made by both men
the odds are in favor of the Quakef
representative winning out.
Two intercollegiate records were bro
ken I'm the trials. and il Is just posi-
BILE that with good weather and dry
track. other records may go by the
board today. The records that
were smashed were made by the
