GRAFTON. n Mike Murphy believes that
Bonraok IL the man 70 be left TO take
care Of the quarter mile race he may send
John 3. Tsylor into the half-miie run.
There is q bare possibility that Taylor
may take part in both There, indeed,
would Be- q battle royal Taylor lie we'll
capable Of notohinE i:8 IN the haf
mile, and, IN fact, can so well
under that mark. II has been suggested
that he could do close TO record time.
Those who have watched the easy grace
Of he style and his apparently eftortiess
manner Of producing speed have the idea
that he is one OF the greatest middle dis
lance men ever seen. II appears that with
Ramey, Parsons and Taylor IN the half
mile run that there would be little left
for Cornell to fight for, unless Townsend
or some such man as r. A. Gels displayed
q wonderful Improvement,
MoakieY'a string of MiIers.
In the mile run Moakley has q. r. Lewis,
who was second to Guy Haskins last
spring. Simpson is not in college. Moak-
ley has such men as Colpitts. seelye and
Reenholts, who may be Of use IN the mile
Coipitts was a good second to L, P. Jones
Of Pennsylvania in the recent intercolle-
giate cross country race, and Il may be
that Moakley Is going to point him for
the two miles. There Is such a wealth
OF material at Cornell for the longer race
that that may not be necessary. In the
mile run also there is Dull of Michigan.
who has shown himself a capable per-
former at two miles as we'll He may not
try to take in both races.
Pennsylvania here comes 10 the front
with a half idea Of cutting down the Cor
nell points. Guy Haskins. the winner of
the race last year, still is in college. So
Is g. W. Root, who was third in the inter-
collegiate cross country race. Root will
make an awful effort this year to figure
in the mile run. 1t Is unlikely that Splitter
Of Yale will do much, as Il is supposed
that the limit Of his capabilities is about
4;51. That will hardly win the race.
Columbia has a candidate for some honor
in George Hoyns, new man with good,
easy action. He gave a slight taste Of
his quality in the games Of the New York
Athletic club In the Madison Square gar
den, where he easily accounted for John
Bisele of Princeton in the mile installmsnt
Of q medley relay race. 1t vas unex-
pected. Hoyns is very strong. Eisele has
been doing some good work in the mile,
too, and IN an indoor meet down south he
ran under 4:SO. He may very easily be a
considerable factor. The mile run Is likely
to be a fight between Pennsylvania and
Cornell from what can be Judged
Dull FIT for Two Miles.
II Dull Of Michigan is in only a little
better form I'm the two miles than he was
last year In the conference meet he win
give the best men OF the east fight He
urffI hnvn ba. 70, 70 -
of Cornell, last years winner, who was
fifth in the intercollegiate cross-country
race last fall. Magofhn was in hard luck
with a strained ankle in the cross-country
run and II he has got over that entirely
by the spring time will be q big factor In
the race. To back him up he has II. l..
Trube, who was second last year. A. L.
Willsoose, who was third, is not In Cornell
this year. b. J. Lemon, w. s. Nobis and
h. 7. Thatcher are three other Cornell
men who are likely to be prominent in the
distance work. Pennsylvania hardly has
anything 70 be compared with runners
like these. At least IL there are any OF
that kind In Philadelphia NJ. c. Murphy
has kept them under cover. 1t looks like
Dull against Cornell in this race.
The main deduction appears to be that
Cornell will not score 90 heavily in the half
mile az last year, nor In the mile run
either. In the two miles the Ithacans are
likely to be nearly we'll of as last sea-
son. Takins these things into considera-
ton It may be found out this spring Just
how much MOakley has to depend on dis
tance running for his points in the big
meeting, II that Is all that he has to fall
back upon then he may be ruined. Weight
throwers are popping up everywhere to
help steal away his crown of fame and
Pennsylvania rejoices in a collection of
sprintsrs Of high quality. There are many
Jumpers who are registered at other col
leges who will fight against Cornells one
good performer, and there are pole vaulters
70 compete with the best from Ithaca
WeareFH of "M', VIII Figure.
And Michigan will help to cut deep into
every ones points. Ramey. Dull, Patter-
son and Garreis are going TO make some
points among the wearers OF the M" It
may, indeed, be that Michigan will carry
on the intercollegiate championship That
would be an angle from which few have
viewed the problem. There has been a
tendency rather to look at the wolverines
as merely likely TO interfere with some
one elses success and not as building up
for their own. II must not be forgotten
that Garrels might win both hurdle races
and the shot put. with schultz scoring also
in the shot. Ramey might win the half
