Il is hard TO analyzs the probable effect
ol lee special events at the Pennsylvania
\ relgz games on the outcome OF tho inter-
collegiate championships The sprint race
there served 10 show that Yale has an eE-
cellent man in l. B, Stevens, He uan the
final heat in even time, beating J, d Whit
ham Of Pennsylvania and Sherman Of Dart
mouth However, as a sidelight TO that
performance, It must be mentioned that
both Stevens and Whitman broke in the
final heat and we're not set back as they
should have been, even II the special events
ware invitation competitions.
sherman was beaten altogether less than
a foot by the winner and that should call
attention to him, After the final heat was
run DR.. Bowler, the Dartmouth trainer.
was asked by James +. Sullivan whether
he wanted to have the race run over. Dr.
Bowler said that he did not, adding, Il
have seen what sherman can do. That's
enough for me-
Another thing that has to be taken into
consideration is that n. J. Cartmell Of Penn
syvania, twice the winner Of the 100 and
22O yard championships in the intercol-
legiates, did not compete after the first
heat. He was beaten in the heat by Sher-
man In 10 lis seconds In order that he
might be az his best for the one mile relay
race that was near at hand he was with
drawn from the subsequent heats Of tho
sprint Perhaps Mike Murphy was salts
fed with what he had seen Of his mans
work in the single heat Gamble Of Prince
ton, who was placed in the intercollegiate
last year, started in the 100 yard run but
did not qualify for the finals SO as far
as the Pennsylvania meet Is concerned
Stevens is to be reck oned with
Outside Of these men. however. there is
another 20 he considered. He is Lock

heard from beyond a doubt az the season
progresses. A man who has followed the
performances Of all the runners said after
the pelay games that he believed Lockwood
would beat all the men who competed In
the special 100 yard run there when the time
came for serious performances II Ger
tainly leaves the 100 yard run in the
intercollegiate games open enough, with
the names Of Lockwood, Sherman, Stevens,
Cartmell, j. d. Whitman Gamble and
Butler to be considered.
L.
l.. P. Dodge, the captain Of the track team
but Dodge may very we'll show up better
in the furlong sprint In fact. the creator
reliance is being placed on him for the 22O
yard run, the idea being that Lockwood
will do better work for the 100 yards There
Ia glut Of sprnters all apparently or SEEM
ingly Of even ability.
However il may be figured out, the belief
is beginning TO strengthen that Yale will
make a showing in the sprints as will Har-
ward and that Pennsylvania will not have
things all her own way. Cornell and Mchi-
gan are not regarded as likely to have
anything to say about the sprints, chiefly
for the reason that Coach Moakley Of Cor
nell is not trying f. T. Cook. Jr.., in the
short distance races. Cook did even time
when he was a high school boy.
Pennsylvania is well equipped for quarter
rnilers. as the one mile relay race serves to
show. Haydock ran within two yards Of
80 2-6 seconds and Lloyd Whitman covered
his distance in about 80 As seconds. Tay-
lor was expected 10 do very fast time but
il was clear that the reports before the meet
that he was not in his best condition were
true He was against strong man from
Chicago, but even at that his time per-
formance should have been faster. Taylors
time was very close TO 50 seconds. very
bad for a man Of his class
Cartmell was In good form and ran the
fastest relay Of the day. 50 is seconds,
without apparently hurting himself. OF
these four men Cartmell has to be counted
out when it comes to the quarter mile He
has to run the other sprints. Haydock.
Llovd. Whitman and Taylor will be sent in
for this race and between them they should
make good showing.
Michigan seems TO have very little in the
quarter mile line, but Cornell has a good
one or so. Carpenter is going TO do some
business with all the quarter milers in the
Intercollegiate, Harvard's best quarter
mile man, De Selding. hardly will fight with
