Points Scored.

BOSTON. June Five star athletes from
the University of Pennsylvania won the
amateur championship in the Harvard
Stadium today in what proved TO be series
of the most wonderful performances ever
seen on an American cinder track. New
intercollegiate figures were written in SIX
out of thirteen events, and one more
record would have gone down, that of the
high hurdles, had not the officials decided
that the runners were too much favored by
the wind.
Pennsylvania was given a splendid fight
for first place by seven men from the Uni
versity of Michigan, winning by only four
points The Pennsylvanians scored total
of IS to 80 for Michigan. Yale was third
with % points, while Cornell finished
fourth with II points. Princeton, TO- and
Syracuse, S. beat out Harvard, which won
only points.
Intercollegiate records were broken in the
mile, the shotput, the quarter mile, two
miles. high jump and pole vault. Garrels
Of Michigan ran the high hurdles in 10 10
seconds but kraenZlein's record of 10 %
seconds will remain the intercollegiate
figures.
Several of the events were almost up to
record marks. the 100 yards being run in
10 seconds, and the half mile in l minute
and Ji%4 seconds.

in the shotput by getting second place over
Stephenson of Harvard. Haskins of Penn
svIvania won the mile and half mile, and
Cartmcu OF Pennsylvania won both the
dashes, Haskins' victory in the half-mile
run decided the meet for pennsylvania,
but while that proved TO be the critical
event of the day the two miles was the
most exciting. In the latter event Eisele
Of Princeton set the pace, and SIX times
round he led the field. Then Dull of Michi-
gan captured the lead. followed closely by
Rowe his college mate. with Magofiin of
Cornell and Eisele lighting for fourth
place.
