PHILADELPHIA, PA. April 2l.--The
greatest collection of track and field
athletes that this country has ever seen
will assemble on Franklin Field next
Saturday for the thirteenth annual re-
lay carnival of the University of Penn
sylvania. From the enormous entry
list, it is certain that there will be no
less than 1900 athletes In actual con-
petition. They Will come from prac-
tically every Important university and
school in the United States east of tho
Mississippi; from as far north as
Maine: as far south as North Carolina.
and as far west as Illinois So full
will the program be that the manage
ment will require fully five hours to
run off the different events.
The scholastic events will consume
most of the time. and they will occupy
the first part of the program while
the minor college relays will be sand
wiched in, leaving the three great re-
lay races for the intercollegiate cham
pionships for the last two hours of the
day.
AS is to be expected. the three events
that will attract national attention are
the one, two and four-mile relays
which carry with them the intercol-
legiate championship Of the United
States. 1t is hard to say which of these
events will arouse the most cnthusi-
asm, but probably the one and four
mile events VIII be the ones.
Records Are Looked For.

intercollegiate 100-yard champion,
40 4-5 seconds, and Captain Whitman

men run within a second of their
records, they will beat the world mark
of 1921 3-5, made by Harvard in 1902.

perate effort to humble Michigan, whose
team has won this event four years
