BY Associated Press.

than 800 athleteS, including nearly all
of the intercollegiate champions, were
here to participate in the tryouts held
today on the field of the University of
Pennsylvania for the purpose of NAM
ing representatives at the Olympic
games.
Nearly all the American Athletic un-
ion champions were entered, and the
meet, besides being important as one
that will show who the best individual
athletes are, resolved itself into a con-
test between the club and college rep
resentatives.
Nearly all the athletes who won
places in the intercollegiate meet at the
University of Pennsylvania last Satur-
day were among the participants.
The great regret was that Shaw, the
| Dartmouth hurdler, and French. Tai
colt and Trube. who helped win the
| championship for Cornell last week,
were unable to get here because of ex-
aminations.
Probably the single event which at
| tracted the most attention was the 100-
meter dash. This brought together
Cartmell of Pennsylvania, Rector OF
| Virginia, Ramsdell of Texas, Stevens or
Yale, and Robertson, Keating ana
Cioudham of the Irish American club
of New York.
| The program for the day included
| twenty events, each of which was hotly
contested. Because of the length OF the
program and, many entries the first
trial was called at o'clock. Friends OF
| the men and college champions were
here from all sections of the east.
| Following are the results:
