ON TRACK AND FIELD
PRELIMINARY HEATS AND TRIALS
INTERCOLLEGIATE CONTESTS.
Harvard Has Nineteen EIigibIes and
Yale Eighteen for the Finals To-
Day-Hammer Throw Record.

day gives promise that some unusually
clever performances will be seen when the
semi-finals and finals of the intercollegiate
championship are being decided tomorrow.
AS was expected, Harvard and Yale out
ranked all the other colleges in the num-
Der of men who qualified from each Har-
ward has nineteen and Yale eighteen on
the list of eligibles for the finals tomorrow,
and the next in point of numbers is Prince
ton. with eight. California has seven,
Pennsylvania five, Cornell four Amherst
three, Columbia, Georgetown and Syracuse
two each and Rutgers and Williams one
each.
Harvard is the favorite in what little bet
ting has been done so far, but if the protest
made by Yale against Schick. the Harvard
sprinter. who won his trials in the sprints
to-day rather easily, should be sustained
Yale would gain a decided advantage, as
Harvard would lose either eight or ten
points.
Arthur Duffey. of Georgetown, and Schick
won their individual heats in the 1OO-yard
dash in even time. But If the track re-
mains in good condition and there is an
absence of wind either or both will equal
and probably break the existing record of
8 AS seconds.
In the high and low hurdle events Willis
of Harvard, and Clapp, of Yale, seem to be
on even terms, and none of those who con-
tested in the 220-yard dash can hope to de-
feat Schick in the final for that event.
Rust, of Harvard, should have no difficulty
in winning the quarter-mile run and Kane,
of Yale, seems to have the half-mile hon.
ors at his disposal
Some disappointment was felt at the
showing made by y. d. Plaw, of California,
In the weight events. He failed to quality
in the shot put his best effort being forty
tied for fourth place in the list of five who
qualified with put of forty-one feet nine
inches. De Witt DISTINGUISHED himself in the
sixteen-pound hammer throw by breaking
all previous intercollegiate records as he
threw the missile 164 feet 10 inches. Plaw
was his nearest opponent with IA feet
inches. The defeat of the Californian,
while not generally unexpected. surprised
a good many, as no one thought that De-
witt would beat him by margin of over
twenty feet. Summaries of trial heats:
