RECORDS MAY FALL
AT COLLEGE GAMES
Various Color Bearers Prim-
ed to Minute for Intercol-
legiate Finals Today.

BOSTON, May 29.-Fair weather and
a fast track after the heavy rains
should make the intercollegiate Athletic
Association annual meet today in the
Harvard Stadium as memorable one,
both in the crowd which the twenty or
more participating colleges WI draw
and IN the records that viii p-oPAbly
be tied or broken.
Indications based on the preliminary
heats which were run off in ali of the
events yesterday, with the exception Of
the mile and two-mile, seem to point
TO Harvard as the victor in To-Day $
contest on the track. Harvard showed
unexpected strength in the field events
yesterday, her weakest place. Barr
easily held his own in the pole vault,
at l. feet ~ inches and viii hight II
out with Campl ell, of Yale, with ODDS
about even.
In the weights Harvard showed up
well with Little and expects to take
first or second with Kruger, OF Swarth-
more. Harvard has three men IN me
high Jump who Will make Canfield, OF
Yale earn his T!ace. In the hammer,
Cornell and Vase Will divide honorSi
while the broad jump will be anyone s.
with Cook, of Cornell, as faYorfte.
Harvard should take both of the
spFints with Foster, with Dawbarn, OF
Princeton, second.
Everything looks favorable for the
establishment of a new record In the
mile when Jacques, of Harvard, meets
PAUL. of Pennsylvania. Yale's hopes llt
in the hurdles, which she expects Howe
will take from Gardner and Rand, OF
| Harvard
With HarVards unexpected strength
/ in the field. it ny seems that she vii

hon0rs.

BALTIMORE ENTRIES
MAY REACH SEVENTY


BALTIMORE, May 29.-Forty-three
entries TO date for the big News-Times
Marathon and closing time ten whole
days away.
The interest in the event, the first Of
its kind south of New York, has been
as overwhelming as gratifying, When
the race was mentioned it was expected
that about fifteen young men would
take part and there was hope that
there might be twenty-five, but it was
not until the News found out how pop
uIar the movement was that the fore
cast OF starters jumped.
It is believed that sixty entrants from
this city will be a conservative esti-
mate, and the number may reach sew
enty. 1t is known that many have taken
entry blanks which they expected to
nn before closing time on June s. The
tendency of local athletes has been to
defer formal entry until the last mo-
ment and il this holds good the num-
Der may be doubled in the last two or
three days.
After Team Prize.
OF the list as it stands, the Cross
Country Club makes the hest showing,
with u entrants. The Fifth Regiment
comes next with Z. followed by Johns
Hopkins with 4.
IL is natural that the Cross-Country
Club should have the largest number in
a race of this kind. for Iong-distance
running is the purpose for which 1t was
organized But the Fifth Regiment Is
right on The heels of the Cross-Country
fellows, with seven entrants, and IN
doubtedly more TO be heard from before
long. II is believed that every man OF
the Cross-COuntry Club who intends
running is already formally signed
up" but with the Fifths athletes IL
is different.
Hopkins Enters -Four.
But there is one group Of only four
which hasn't been saying a word, yet
every man in Baltimore who Is posted

the entire field. This group is composed
of Griffith, Breyer. Russell. and Rec
