The hurdle races looked to be pretty
nice and soft for Shaw Of Dartmouth That
man has all the style and perfection OF
form, but Garrels last year had the jump
on him. Shaw's work at Philadelphia leaves
small question that he ie the best OF the

for the Cornell man, Cook. He has the best
record Of those competing, even though
the Michigan men did score we'll last year,
Hartranit did little better than 2l feet

Sherman OF Dartmouth was third. he

year. Cook has done so much over % feet
that there is every reason TO think he should

coaching OF Quinn, ought to do something
pretty fair this year.
When il comes TO pole vaultng there
seems TO be little about except Yale. The
Yale captain Dray, who will do 10 feet some
day the experts say, ought to win easily He
will be backed up by Campbell and Gilbert,
who will do much OF the fighting with Cook
and Jackson Of Cornell, Cook being good for
much more than IL feet himself. II Dray

might be some hope that Cook might beat
him. But DTay has been yaulting well all
the time and he improves as he goes along
instead Of going back. Judging from what
he has done and is doing there isn't very
much chance Of finding a weak spot in his
armor on the day Of the games.
Incidentally II must be wonderful

His style Of vaulting is 30 snap over the bar
much as a high jumper does therefore
he has TO have all the more power. When
the Cornell and Yale men get through with
the pole vault there ought not TO be much
left for any others,
The high Jump and the shotput are very
open events indeed. That is chiefly be-
cause there are no exceptionally good men
except Kruger In the shotput in the col
leges. Bangs Of Harvard is only fair. The
best Michigan shot performer is freshman
