Boston. May S1.-If the elimination events that opened the thirty-second annual intercollegiate games in the Harvard Stadium to-day failed to dis close a probable champion for the fi- nals tomorrow, they did show that Yale is unexpectedly strong in agile | jumpers, that Pennsylvania has some very fleet sprinters, that the new corners from the University of Michi- gan are speedy in the hurdles and fac tors in the other events, and that Cor nell must win many points in the dis 1 tance runs to retain her title.
 Close followers of the sport seemed to feel tonight that the championship lay between Yale and Pennsylvania, with the chances slightly in favor of the blue.
 | Thirteen Yale men qualified in nine out of the eleven events that were run off during the afternoon. Cornell was next with twelve men still left for to- morrow, but the champions failed to get men into four of the eleven events l to-day. Michigan and Harvard quali- fled nine men in seven events and Penn. had eight men in a similar number of the trials to-day. Harvard however. is not regarded as dangerous for the championship as scarcely any of those of her men who survived to- day are regarded as probable winners l tomorrow. On the other hand the 1 eight Penn. men who came through are all very fast and strong and her dis tance men are also thought to be very formidable.
 One of the developments of to-day's events was the ability of the teams from the University of Michigan, head ed by Captain Garrels, to qualify nine men in the events to-day against such a wealth of athletes from eleven east ern colleges.s
 There were a number of stirring races to-day and some interesting field events, although the pole vault, as usual, dragged out until nearly sunset. The last named event, however, rais- ed Yale's hopes wonderfully, as no less than three blue vaulters cleared the high bar successfully and two of them, Dray and Gilbert, went over easily at Il feet, 6 inches As Dray is expected to repeat his performance in the Har- vard-Yale games two weeks ago and establish new intercollegiate record, the Yale athletes left the Stadium to- night practically sure of winning more than five points in this event. Yale is also counted on to gather up points In the broad jump, through the fine 1 leaping of Knox, who led the field to- day at 22 feet, 10 inches. Marshall, of Yale, is also regarded as a sure point winner in the high jump while Burn l ham qualified in the shot. Parsons of Yale, won his heat in the half mile, breaking the tape in a trifie more than two seconds above the record The l Yale runner, however was badly wind- ed at the finish, while Lewis and Townsend of Cornell, who ran second and third in the same heat finished very fresh. Haskns of Penn, who won the second heat had pretty race with Coe, of Michigan, and these five men, together with Ramey, of Michigan, are looked upon to give some exciting sport to-day.
 Taylor of Pennsylvania had no diff culty in winning his heat in the quar- ter mile in fast time while Rogers of Cornell was pushed hard by Atlee of Princeton in the second heat.
 In the dashes Cartmell of Pennsylva- vnia won both his heats with compar- atlve ease, but Miller of Princeton is expected to give him a strong race in the 100 yards and Young of Syracuse will probably push him hard in the fur long tomorrow
 Garrels of Michigan, Hubbard of Am herst and Shaw of Dartmouth were easily the stars in the hurdle events, and it is hoped that they will meet in the finals tomorrow, and if they do it is possible that new records in these events may be established.
 Of the minor point winners to-day Princeton led, with six points, getting two men into the quarter mile, two in the hundred, yards and one each in the hurdle events. Amherst and Syracuse have still four men left in the competi- ton outside the distance runs, while Dartmouth, Williams and Swarthmore have three man left in the running.
 An unexpected factor was Perce of Johns Hopkins, who made fourth place in the broad jump. The summaries:
