NEW YORK. May 26.-Tackled by a
strong aggregation of Princeton Tigers.
the sturdy athletes of Old Penn were held
ct bay today in the finals of the inter-
collegiate championships at Columbia Field,
but, thanks. mainly to the marvellous pow
ers OF Captain Kraenzlein, of the Quaker
City University again won first place with
a total of SO points against % rolled up
by the representatives of Old Nassau.
The promise of fine day held out by a
clear. though cloudy morning, was suff-
cient to attract a large crowd. The
Orange and Black of Princeton was in evil
dence. and when the 5000 spectators we're
seated in anticipation of the semi-fnal
heats in the 100 yard runs. which opened
the programme, the preponderance Of the
Tigers supporters was noticeable.
The battle for third place between the old
rivals Harvard and Yale was scarcely of
less interest than the struggle for first
place Yale luck and Yale pluck was in
evidence throughout the afternoon, and the
boys of Old Eli got revenge for many re-
cent defeats at the hands of the Crimson
by piling up 20 1-2 points TO IA amassed by
Harvard. For small institution Syracuse
made remarkable showing. Only six men
spor.ed the colors of that university. but
every one of them was good enough to
qualify for today's races. and at the end Of
the day the total of 10 points landed SYRIA
cuse in fifth place.
The team that represented the Univer-
sity of California showed that the Pacific
Coast is still to be reckoned with in first
class athletics Eight points were scored
by the men who wore the yellow and green
striped jerseys, and they also supplied one
of the three who smashed records at
meeting where the elements were all
against good performances. The scores of
the other colleges were: Cornell. L.;
Williams 6: New York University 5:
Brown, 3; Columbia, 2; Georgetown, 2:
Bowdoin, ].
The games were scarcely under way
when rain began to fall and the already
heavy track was almost prohibitive of rec
ords. Under these conditions the time
made was remarkable. and stamped the
competitors as the best class that have
ever appeared at an intercollegiate meet

kraenzlein for the third season in sue
cession carried off the individual honors.
The weather alone prevented him from
again inscribing his name on the record
tables, but the total of is points, which he
scored in four events, eclipses the perfoI-
nance of any other inter collegiate athlete
at the annual games.

Princeton's hard luck was noticeable in
the high jump and the failure of the Ii
gers to show well in that event was un-
doubtedly due to the poor take-off. Ser
