Boston June Five star athletes from the
University Of Pennsylvania won the intercolle-
giate track and field championship in the Har-
ward Stadium to-day in what proved TO be
series Of the most wonderful athletic perform
ances ever accomplished on the American cinder
TRACK New intercollegiate figures We're written
in six out of thirteen events, and one more rec
ord 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 had a splendid fight for first
place with seven men from the University Of
Michigan. and the Red and Blue beat out the
Maize and the Blue by four points. the Quakers
scoring a total Of 33 TO % for Michigan Yale
was good third with twenty three points, while
Cornell failed 70 come up to expectations and
finished fourth with fifteen points Princeton
with ten points, and Syracuse, with eight points
beat out Harvard, which earned only seven
points. Swarthmore with six, Dartmouth with
five, Amherst with four. Williams with two and
Johns Hopkins with one. finished in that order
Intercollegiate records We're broken in the one
mile run, the shot-put the quarter mile run, the
two-raile run, the high jump and the pole vault
Garrells, Of Michigan, ran the high hurdles in
Is 1-5 seconds. but Kraenzlein's record of IS 2-5
seconds viii remain the intercollegiate figures,
Several Of the other events were almost up
to new marks. the 1O0-yard dash being run in
onds. and the others were not at all safe Some
Of the old marks were beaten out by such mar
gins that II seems probable the new figures will
stand for some years to come. For instance, the
shot-put record was bettered five and one-half
inches; the pole vault, one inch, while the time
in the one-mile run was cut by 4-5 seconds,
and the two-rnile mark by Is seconds
II was truly day Of individual effort, and
the strong and fast men of the leading colleges
vied with each other in gathering in points.
Captain GarIells of Michigan led the field by
winning thirteen out of the rwenty-nine points
IOr the Maize and Blue. CfarrclS won both
hurdle events from such fast men as Shaw of
Dartmouth, and Hubbard, Of Amherst The
sturdy Michigan athlete also showed his strength
IN the sfot put by getting second place over
Stephenson, Of Harvard. The other star of the
meet was Haskins. of Pennsylvania, who won
tne one-nlle and half-Inile runs, and captured
ten points for The Red and Blue
Cartneu, Of Pennsylvania equalled Haskins's
record by winning both the dashes and ten more
points for the Quaker team.
Hasan5s victory in the half-mile run de-
clded the meet for Pennsylvania. That race.
as wei as the two-mile, led all the others in
exciting incidents and finish. These two races,
together with the one-mile, proved the undoing
Of CorneE, Tor Pennsylvania and Michigan beat
out thEEhaca runners with comparative ease
While the half-Tnie proved to be the critical
event Of the day, the two-mile was the most ex-
citing. IN the latter event Eisele, of Princeton,

Cornell
z-lsels nghling 1or fourth place In circling the
track for the last time Magofin, who won the
event last year, tried TO catch Rowe, who had
gone INTO the lead, but the Michigan runner
had enough strength and wind left to break the
tape by a good ten yards ahead of the Cornellian
Alchigan picked up two more points in this
event. as Dull finished third while Eisele fell ex-
halsted across the line in fourth place. In the
half-rnile Parsons, Of Yale, who holds the inter-
collegiate record and was picked to win shot
into the lead at the start and kept it for the
first Time around the track, when he practically
collapsed, and Coe. of Michigan went TO the
fore. At The three-eighths Townsend and
French. Of Cornell, came up strong and caught
the Michigan runner at the turn into the stretch
and ct the same time Baker, of Swarthmore
5oined The leading bunch II was intensely
exciting fight 10 the line, and 1t seemed any one
race until thirty yards from the tape when sud
denly Hsskias, Of Pennsylvania, darted throug h
the field and won by tWo yards Townsend and
French, Of Cornell were second and third re-
spectively, while Baker beat out Coe for fourth
place. 4 blanket would have covered the five
men. If Coe had had a trifie more strength and
wind the championship would have gone to
Michigan.
The mile was Haskins'e race from the pistol,
although MagOffln. Of Cornell. and Coe. of Mich
iean. pushed him hard. especially in the back
stretch during the middle portion of the race.
Easkins regained the lead after losing it for a
few hundred yards, and, squirting at the finish,
won by ten yards over Coe, of Michigan.
After these performances in the distance runs
must be placed the great work OF Taylor the
negro runner. Of Pennsylvania. Taylor set the
uuarter-me mark at 40 Is seconds during the
meet at Philadelphia in 1904. For the last two
yesterday and to-day he showed fieetness OF
FOOT that gave him the event with comparative
escs and 81 new time Taylor, as usual, let the
other runners set the pace for the first furlong,
take the lead without effort. and won from Coho-
Ian, Of Yale, by three yards. The Yale man
was g frihe under the record at the lnish
