Arthur Duffey has been dsallowed by the

Wefers, also of Georgetown. still stands.
Wefers and Duffey are the only college men
who ever did As at the intercoliegiates.
Fight for the Championship.
AS stated above, the fight for the cham
pionship will be between Pennsylvania,
Harvard, Cornell and Yale. Although the
Quakers are Just now having a few hard
luck tales to tell, they are pretty generally
the favorites for the big games 1t is true
that they have lost Taylor, the intercol-
legtate Quarter-mile champion, but they ex
pected to be without him, and his loss will
not interfere with their calculations. The
loss of Terry, whose 15S 3-5 for the half
mile was the fastest run this year, Is Sc
we're, but Terry would have had ire
mendous task on his hands to have won
this year, or even to have scored better
than third place. Wilcox. the third man
over whom the Quakers are mourning. was
hardly fast enough to have scored In the
half mile against such men as Thrall OF
Dartmouth, Whitman Of Harvard, Baker
of Swarthmore, SQures of Syracuse and
Parsons of Yale.
Where Pennsylvania gets her strength Is
in the spirits and quarter mile. In the
100 yards run the Quakers have three men
-Cartmesl. Dear and Whitham-who have
done 10 seconds consistently this yeHr, and
have beaten % seconds for the go yards
just as consistently. CartmeH Is thought
to be fast enough to win the 40 and 220
IL he runs the longer distance. while Bon
sack who did 40 3-5 seconds for the quarter
at Penn's relays must not be overlooked.
In addition to these men. Penn has Capt.
Amser In the hurdles, who won a first and

who yaulted IL feet inches at Penn's re-
lays; Haskins and Jones, two men who have
beaten 4.26 for the mile run, and Root, who
has run the two miles in $50. Another
likely point winner Is Mccullough, the
freshman hurdler, who did ID As seconds
over the high sticks as a schoolboy. Penn
has good broad jumper in Green and two
good hammer throwers In Folwel and
Luby.
The Harvard Men.
Harvard is generally conceded to be the
team that Will fight 1t out with the Quakers
for first place. The Overwhelming victory
which Harvard won over the strong Dart
mouth team was a great surprise. Harvard
has two good sprinters In Dodge and Lock-
wood who are sure to score in the 100 and
go. Capt. Dives, who was second in the
quarter mile year ago, and VINO d1d - 80
seconds at London two years ago, VIII make
the record.
In the half mile Harvard has a good man
In Whitman and one who Is sure to
score For the mile the Crimson has two
stars These are Minot and Miller. The
former did ADS As on heavy track
two weeks ago. while Miller was Just back
of him Either of these men Is likely to
win the event Harvard is even better
fixed for the two miles. Here she has
Stone, who made a new Harvard record OF
8. 40 As In the Dartmouth meet. and Will
run close to the record this week.
In the pole vault the Crimson has TWO
veterans in Grant and Gring, who can beat
IL feet 9 inches with ease. Stephenson, @
new man In the shotput and broad jump, Is
ono Of Harvard's newest ana best men.
He has put the shot more than Al feet
and has broad-Jumped 22 feet inches He
Is sure to score In the shotput and lkeiy
To nick I'D some points In the broad jump.
For the high jump Harvard has two men
likely to score. These are Roosevelt,
nephew of the President, and Clark, ootn
of whom have done 5 feet 10 inches. Then
for the hammer throw Harvard mas hers-
games. and is getting better all the time.
Harvard has two fair hurdlers In Rogers
and DOYLE but both will be lucky to score.
Where Harvard will be weak seems to be

fourths, but these are not sufficient to WIN
without several firsts.
The Cornell Champions.
Just what the Cornell champions of lSoo
Will do is problematical. Cornell has lost

shot champion. and ex-Crptain Vonnegut,
