PENN'S ADVANTAGE
Quakers Picked to Repeat
Victory in Track Meet.
TEAM PRACTICALLY INTACT
AIOmtt, the High Jumper, Only Point
Winner Missing at Philadelphia
College. While Michigan, Yale, and
Cornell Teams, Which Challenge
Penn. Have Lost Heavily.

The prospects for az close and exciting
d track meet as was the one held in the
Harvard Stadium last June which Penn
sylvania won by the narrow margin of
four points from Michigan, her big West
ern rival. In the intercollegiate, does not
seem to be the case for the coming spring,
for the good reason that Michigan, Yale,
and Cornell, the teams which so closely
challenged Pennsylvania last season, have
lost more heavily by graduation than the
winning Quakers, who start this season
with the men who won tWenty-eight OF
their points la last years meet having
lost but one man, Mofitt. the high
jumper. With such a nucleus Nike Muir
ply bids fair to develop another winning
team, and unless the unexpected hap
pens the present cup viii remain in the
Quakers trophy room for another sea-
son.
Last year Pennsylvania won most
memorable victory The fact that one
man, Guy Haskns was able TO defeat all
comers in both the mile and half-mile
was alone sufficient 70 give every one of
her supporters JOY. yet when Jhis double
victory, the former being one in which
he established a new college record, is
combined with the announcement that
she was thereby enabled to win the meet
a follower of this branch Of athletics can
well see how creditable was her per
formauce. 1t was truly a remarkable
team that won this big meet for Pennsyl-
vania,
The outlook at Pennsylvania has pretty
Thoroughly been gone over. Trainer
Murphy has Capt. Cartmel. winner of the
100 and 900 yard dashes; Taylor the quar-
teT-mile champion. Haskins. the mile and
$50 yard champion, J. u. Whitam. who
took third in the 290-yard dash. and Capt
FolwcI Of the 20 football team. who won
fourth in the hammer throw. as his
nucleus In addition he has L. Whitam, a
brother of the last years captain, i'm the
sprints; BonSack and HaydoCk. I'm the 40:
PlUmley, Gum, Beck, and Laise. i'm the
$50; Jones, IN the two miles; HaTtrauft
I'm the hurdles; Greene and Haydock, in
the broad Jump Hunt and Newburry in
the high jump, and Parker and Pickles
IN the pole vault. From this squad Muir
ply looks able 70 produce another win
ming team.
MIehigan's Nucleus.
At Michigan Trainer Keene Fitzpatrick
possesses as his nucleus Dull. who took
third in the two-mile event; Coe, who
carried of second 10 Haskins IN the
mile, and Heath. who won third in the
broad jump. The loss Of GarreTs in the
hurdles and shot-put will be greatly felt.
and Of French in the broad jump Prom
Using men are Peterson in the high jump,
Schultz and Arthur in the weights. ATer-
dice in the pole-yault. and Hogden in
the hurdles.
Trainer Moakley, of Cornell will, no
doubt, offer many surprises at the coming
interCollegiates by reason of the work
Of his cross-eoUntry team, which so easily
carried off the championship last fall
He has lost Magofin, second I'm the two
miles; Rogers. third I'm the 440-yard. and
Lewis. third in the mile, but in the re-
turn Of Townsend, second In the S20-yard;
French, third in the same event, Pew,
third IN the hammer-throw, and White,
fourth I'm the shOt-pUt he has some good
workable material Then there is Cook
the so-caued schooIboy wonder. who runs
vaults jumps, and throws weights with
case. Cook will surely do things this
spring. for last summer he tied IN the
pole-vault and took second in the broad
jump at the jamestown meet.
Yales prospects are considerably dim
med by the loss Of such men as Knox. who
Won the broad jump; Coholan, who took
second in the 4i0-yaTd. Marshall. who

She has Butler. the fourth man in the
19o-yard; Stevens who ran second 10
Cartmell in the 220-yard; Capt Dray,
who holds the worlds record in the pole
vault with Campbell and Gilbert and
other notable vaulters; and in addition
the following men who scored in her dual
meet: Tils0n. the half-miler; Splitter. ia
the mile. Howe. in the high hurdles
Davis In the broad, and Buhrman, in
the shot. as the mainsJays for Trainer
Mack to work with
Few Stars at Princeton.
Trainer Copeland has lost most Of the
point winners from his splendid 1907
Princeton team. Men like Rulon-AIllIer,
second in the l00-yard dash; Eisele. fourth
in the two miles. and Armstrong. who
won third in the high and fourth in the
low hurdles. viii be missed. He retains
Gamble, the third-place man in the 100
yard and Atlee, who took fourth in the
fastest Of QuaTter-mlle races, and in
Whiteley. a sophomore, he possesses a
middle-dlstanee runner who will stay with
any pace.
Syracuse into sixth place last year, Horr.
who won five points with his victory in
the hammer throw has returned. while
Claude Allen, who contributed three with
his second place in the pole vault. has
graduated. Coach Thomas r. Keane has
some new material in Hilman, a miller.
and Marble. a two miller, from which he
hopes to develop some splendid runners.
Harvards team, which won seventh
place In last years meet, with seven
points. should be somewhat stronger this
year, owing to the fact that she viii have
three coaches on hand during the season.
Garcelon, a graduate, 10 take charge of
the hurdlers; Lathrop. to look after the
track events, and Quinn to handle the
1ieid events. She has in college material

sprlnteri fourth in the 2;20, and Kers-
burg, who Won second in the hammer
throw. She retains Stephenson, who won
q third IN the shot-put, and Harwood and
Somers, who tied for fourth in the high
jump.
Swarthmore, the team that came next
owing 10 the work Of Kreuger in the
shOt-put. and Baker in the half mile, will
be without the services Of either Of these
men this season. KreugeT is out on ac-
count Of sickness. and this team thereby
loses five good points I'M the shot and Ra-
