ty-seven schools have entered the list;
yet the entries are not closed, and It IS
expected that ten more colleges and elSh-
teen 1rore schools will be entered. 1t is
expected that all Of the leading educa-
tional institutions in the country will be
represented. u

great interest, and the work of its team
win be watched most eagerly. Princeton
has not competed against Pennsylvania
in Philadelphia since 1894 Since then
they, have met several times in other cit
les, but Pennsylvania has generally had
the best of the argument. Orange ana
black is straininE every nerve to win the
one-mile championship; not only because
it is the banner event of the meeting,
but because in that race Princeton will
meet Pennsylvania, and will have a fair
chance to turn the tables on her strong
opponent The presence of Princeton
at these games foreshadows its return to
athletic relations with the red and blue
in all kinds of sport
CORNELL AND GEORGETOWN.
Were Princeton and Pennsylvania the
only entries in the one-mile champions
ship, heart-brealing race would be as
sured, but Cornell and Georgetown have
entered teams. Yale may still be able
to arrange her schedule so as to COM
pete. while chica go and Michigan will
surlybe on hand to uphold the supremacy
of the West, SO that the race is sure to be
thes;biggest event of the day.
On referring to the list of entries, it
will be noticed that in class races natural
rivals have been placed III, competition
with one another, and that thus in almost
every event there will be a race within
race For instance, in the HaVerford,
Swarthmore. Columbia College of New
York, New York University and Rutgers
class the first two will be regarded as
special rivals. while the New York col
leges will also be watched by their friends
from a similar point of view. BY thus
placing rivals against each. other. grand
races are assured, and perhaps the race
for fourth or fifth place may be even
more stubbornly, contested than that for
first place. This is one secret of the
great interest in these races. d
MANY ENTRIES.
The school events are closing very
quickly, and already there are as many
entries as there were last year. AS fif-
teen more at least will enter, the manage
ment have difficulty In making room for
the numerous teams. 1t will, however,
result in all the better racing, as in every
event six teams Will be found. Many
new schools have been admitted. A glance
over the list of schools will show that
they will give even better races than in
former years. In any case, they would
be sure to do SO, as inter-scholastic tn
letes have improved wonderfully during
the past five years.
The management have kept pace with
the growing Importance Of these games
by throwing open the individual events
to all college athletes The 100-yard
event is being locked forward to with
much interest. It will bring together
the 5f,est sprinters in America. Jarvis,
of Princeton; Duffy, Of Georgetown,
champion of America: Tewkesbury, the
intercollegiate champion. and Kraenzlein
and Mccain, of Pennsylvania, will meet
in this event, which should prove a rec
ord-breaker.
NEW RECORD LOOKED FOR.
In putting the shot and throwing the
hammer NfcCracken and Hare will meet
the best men from the other colleges. In
the discus event one may look for new
record. Shelton, of the New York A TIL
letic Club, the holder of the discus rec
ord, has been invited. but; he will have to
do considerably better than his former
exploit. as McCracken has been breaking
the Sheldon record every day in practice.
Kraenzlein may, also. take part in this
event, as he has shown grand form at
it, and should develop into a star. He

In the high jump, Carroll, of Princeton.
has been invited to meet Baxter, of Penn
sylvania, and battle royal is expected.
Kraenzlein5 will make his first appear
ance this year in the broad jump. for
which he holds the worlds record of "a
feet ga inches.
These scratch events will furnish high
class. sport, and should be an object-les-
to the thousands Of inter-scholasti ath-
letes who will be present.
