the coming championships. Root, who
used to run very badly at Princeton, has
changed entirely since he entered Pennsyl
vania. He was on the cross-country team
there last fall and finished well up toward
the front. He also has been doing good
work on the track, and is expected to score
again in the two-mile race at Cambridge.
Those are Pennsylvania hopes in the
track events on the fiat and It must be
admitted that that is the quality of the
team, except in the high hurdle race.
McCulloch, the old Mercersburg academy
boy, is going to win the high hurdles be-
yond doubt, the Quakers declare. Garrels
or no Garrels McCulloch will win. 1t is
understood that he is confidently expected
to do 10 1-5 seconds for the race and that,
under ordinary circumstances, should win
for him. However, Garrels, too, may do
worlds record time, or else 1t may be such
a great race that new record will be set.
Pennsylvania, however, makes It as a fat
statement of fact that McCulloch will win
the i2o-yard race over the hurdles. Nc
Culloch is not much of a low hurdler, so
that that race will be left open to whom
soever is able to carry II of.
This much Of the Pennsylvania track team
is very high class, indeed. The rest isn't
Pennsylvania, therefore, II can be seen,
will not win, because of a well balanced
team, but because OF the presence of a few,
or many stars.
Ready for Relay Carnival.
Incidentally the colleges are preparing
for the big relay carnival to be held next
Saturday at the University of Pennsylvania
The big colleges of the middle west will be
represented there and all the institutions
Of any size in the east will have teams
there. The big races will be the cham
pionship relays at one mile, two miles, and
four miles. The one-mile and four-mile
~aces are claimed by Pennsylvania. The
quartet Of quarter milers which the Quak-
ers can show are depended upon to bring
home the title. In the four-mlle race Root.
Jones, Carrothers and Haskins are sup
posed to be going to take the measure of
Coe, Ramey, Dull and their mates, from
whom the Michigan team is to be chosen.
Michigan has enjoyed hold on the four
mile championship for some years and the
Pennsylvanans would be very glad 10
break up the run. II is unlikely that any
other college but these two will cut any
considerable figure in the four-mile race
stagg will send from the University OF
Chicago team OF quarter-milers disposed
to give Pennsylvania a hearty argument in
the one-mile race. From present appear
ances the Maroons have very little chance
Dartmouth is expected 10 carry of again
the honors in the two-mile race, as Dr.
Bowler has great collection OF half
milers. Jennings and Shipley are two Of
his best and most experienced runners.
BY the way, II may be remarked that the
interest in certain races in the champion
ship relays changes from period TO period.
There was time when the two-milo race
was the only thing for which the coaches
trained There were good half-milers al
most without number. Now it appears that
the interest is beginning to shift back 10
the one-mile relay race.
Cornell expects to have some say in the
four-mile race. as there are plenty OF good
miers under Monkeys care. The Itha-
cans also are likely 70 produce a good
team for one or the two other races. The
college world would not experience any
very great feelings OF surprise If the one
mile relay record OF minutes 212s sec
onds held by Harvard, should be broken
by the winning team.
The usual special events OF the program
will attract a great deal OF attention this
year. The westerners will be represented
by several men and there will be some OF
the eastern athletes who are well enough
advanced I'm training 70 chance a race. The
showing OF the Michigan men will be
watched eagerly At these games every
season some new man comes out and turns
loose In an entirely unexpected way and
the games result always in the drawing OF
new lines for the championship campaign.
