PHILADELPHIA. May 26.-The ex-
element preceding the big intercollegi-
ate field and track meeting at Franklin
Field today and tomorrow is intense. for
there has never been a championship
meet in which four of the leading coll
ieges are apparently SO evenly matched
as are Yale. Harvard, Cornell, and Penn.
Each is claiming the championship, and
each expects to win with a score of
about thirty points.
The shifting OF a few points in one
or two events may upset the calcula-
tons of all the leaders and give the
first honors to any one of the quartet.
Yale Leads.
In spite of the counter claims made
by coaches and captains Yale rules the
fayorite. The Ellis are picked to win,
not because they have more nrst-place
winners than their rivals, but because
they have SO many strong second and
third men who are counted on 10
score in every event.
