PHILADELPHIA. May sO.-With
anything like favorable conditions
there was promise of heartbreaking
contests In the finals in the intercol-
legiate championships on Franklin field
at the University of Pennsylvania to-
day. On the form shown in the pre-
liminaries yesterday, Cornell, Pennsyl-
vania and Yale rule favorites. A heavy
rain fell during the forenoon and the
prospects for record performances are
not bright.
A heavy rain, which had been falling
all day, was coming down in torrents
at p. m. when the first event was
scheduled to be run off. The track and
field are both ankle deep with water,
but the executive committee decided
that the meet must go on. There was
only handful of spectators present.
