day after day to go out md do some

at various points of the move through

These pictures he sent way to Quinn,
who was engaged in summer training
work in New Jersey. and once a week

he should do to improve his work ana

When he came back last year he had I'M

tainly must be granted that proficiency
in athletics. particularly in the Held
events, comes to some men only through
continued efforts. Little's Improvement
until he became champion Is solely the
reward OF persistent effort. and any, OF
the men who know how he has worked
can testify to the value and ehectiVe-
tess Of continual trying.
WELL. ARNE TITLE.
Little was abe to take the measure
of W. +. Kruger of Swarthmore, who
had been champion in 1907 and 1908, and
Titles best put was not SO very far be-
hind the intercollegiate RECORD which
Kruger made W years ago. Little
will have some competition, however,
neNt year from j. j. Horner, II. Of Michi-
gan. who finished third this year. As
Horner has two years more to &c and
has improved much in just one season
il is fair to assume that he will presently
be in the 40 foot class. Lee Talbot, IL.
OF Cornell. who was fourth again. will be
on hand and is likely to put a bit further
than ne did this year.
In the hammer throw Talbot, who won
the championship, and W. A.. Goebel.,
10. Of Yale, who was third, will be back
again. NJ. F. Horr OF Syracuse. second,
and P. A Sullivan Of Cornell, fourth, have
finished their college courses. sullivan

almost nothing is heard until the very
day of the intercollegiate games. when
he suddenly comes to the front with the
qualifying throw. As has been pointed
out before in this column Moakley Ia

throwers in this country, and a review
of the past few years since Cornell began
to win championships will show how

YALE FACED THE vAuLTERs.
The phenomenal work in pole vaulting
that has been done in the last three OF
four years is due chiefly TO the proficiency
Of Yale's entries in this event. and al
though by this time some Of the Other
colleges have come up we'll the chief
honors still fall to the Blue. Whether
Cook of Cornell will vault next year IL
a large question. depending entirely upon
the condition Of his ankles. IL he had
not hurt both OF them early in the year
the plan that Coach Moakley spoke OF
then would have been followed. He
would have entered the broad jump and
the hurdle races.
A race that Cook ran in the nigh
hurdles in Paris last year following the
Olympic games. in which he gave For
rest Smithson a great fight in FAST time.
convinced the Comedian that he could
run over the high sticks. He never be-
fore had tried them. although in the
intercollegiate Jane two years ago
he did qualify in the low hurdles. Pole
vaulting tires Cook 30 much that he does
not like it. although he is a good vaulter,
as his SIlOWlnk on tue HISt uhy VI Nhc
games helps 10 prove
He was so badly crippled this season
that all he could do for a time was to run
about the track fat footed and could
hardly get up On his toes at all. II was
only a short time before the intercolle-
gate games hat he was able to do his
takeof for the broad jump. and il any
jumper he ia it is his victory in the inter
collegla te championships under conditions
SO unfavorable,
To DO sure in the broad jump he had
against hin in second place j. X. Kill
patrick, II. of Yale. who has suffered as
much hard luck as any man in athletics,
A splendidly built young fellow, with
everything in his favor, n juries to his
knee have made it look very doubtful IL
he will he fit to compete very much next
season. Despite his weight Fitzpatrick
showed there were few persons who could
been hurt and Cook had been in good shape
a fine battle might have resulted,
The third mar in the broad jump is
considered by many the most promising
He is II. s.. Babcook, ~. OF Columbia
As the local university has no rule barring
freshmen from intercollegiate competi-
ton. this athlete was able to earn his var
sity letter in his very first year In the big
meet. To DO sure Babcock did not jump
so very far. but the competition between
him and Fitzpatrick was very close, II
being a matter Of only half an inch to de.
eide second place. If neither Of the frs,
two men is able to compete at his best
next year Babcock should have a good
chance, and certainly before his intercol.
legiate career is over he should have q
chance at the championship.
One man out of the five who tied for
first place in the high jump has been grad,
uated. He is HARDWOOD Of Harvard, but
he leaves behind him. as has been said
two other Harvard men, r.. p. Pope. 10
and s. c. Lawrence. 10. F.. r. Palmer
10. Dartmouth, and W. Garfield, 10. Of
Yale were the others who tied with Har
wood for first place in the jump. They
competition should result. Yale will hav,
another mar in probably who will he able
Ia do some jumping. and the freshman class
also may take up a man or two for the
/, event
, There is a jumper at the City College
who ia only a freshman and who did verJ
] close to six feet in games there. Proba
4 bly, next year City College may send hin
and he may help to get in or the point,
+ for that event. II is curious that Palnlet
in two successive years should tie for frs
. place in the high jump. Last year onl,
HARDWOOD vas bracketed with him. Thi
. year there were three others beside
