Penn Did Well.
The chief topic of conversation at the
training quarters of the various teams
this morning was the excellent show
ing Of the Quakers. who were thought
to be heipiessly out or the race when
CartmelI and Taylor, last years star
point winners, were knocked down and
out by the ruthless hand of the Penn
faculty.
The ineligibiIity of Greene, who com
peted in the opening games last summer,
was also severely felt by Pennsylvania
for the Quakers star halfback could
easily have qualified yesterday in the
been clearing in practice and in the
dual meets would surely have been good
enough for one point this afternoon.
Murphy Disappointed.
Mike Murphy was considerably disap-
pointed over the failure OF Harris, who
has IN practice been beating Shevln out
regularly in the hammer, and McLana-
han, the record holder of the pole vault,
10 qualify in their respective specialties,
bat in spite of the setDacks, and the re-
markabie showing of some of the en-
tries from the smaller colleges, Yale was
still the general favorite, and was ex-
pected 10 win by d small margin.
Cornell made a remarkable showing in
the trials, but Manager L. H Rich said
this morning that all of his men did not
quite come up TO the form which their
performances IN practice had promised.
Turner was counted on to qualify in
the low hurdles. and points were ex-
pected from Moser in the broad jump.
but both went out in the trials.
Two Records Co
Two records were broken: Parsons. of
Yale, lowering his own record by run
ming a half mile in 1:66 or 40 OF a sec
ond faster. Dray a freshman from the
same university In the pole vault
cleared IL feet 101A inches.
The executive board Of the intercolle-
giate association met again at the Hous-
ton Club this morning with fun repre-
sentatfon. Very little was said con-
corning the proposition to hold meet
one week after the intercoilegiates in
which the winners of the latter would
meet the winners OF Western conference
games, and the matter was not spoken
of IN the meeting.
