Although these tables do not attempt

developed in the two sections this spring
It does give the present available record
this it will be observed that the West
is stronger than the East in only three
events. These are the 100 yards, the two
miles and the shot put.
Any number of things may occur within
the next few months to upset the present
balance of strength But the records
are now more nearly equal than ever be-
fore and that such q meeting would be
the most notable In American college
