A remarkable feature of these siafis-
tics is the fact that so many first place
winners are still in colleges. This merely
adds to the troubles of the youngsters
who wish to break into the ranks OF the
champions There is only one event. the
uuarter-nile in which all the point win
ners ire ba OK. but in five events there is
only one point winner missing in each. In
one event all the point winners are gone
This is the high hurdles, While IN the low
hurdles there is but Il single point winner
on hand. Consequently there is lots OF
room for good hurdlers.
The ability OF the men who are now In
college is sufficient evidence that the
performances Of 1910 will equal and prob
ably surpass those OF 1909. There We're
three remarkable performers last year,
all of whom were competing their first
year in these games. and TWO or the fflo
set up new intercollegiate records. The
men referred to are w. {. PAUL Of Penn
sylvania, P j. Taylor of Cornell and r.
c. Foster of Harvard. PAUL made new
intercollegiate record Of AZ 40 i'll the
mile run besides winning second place
in the half mile. an event which he could
have won had he so desired. Taylor made
himself famous by winning the two miles
in OBS 81. thereby making a new IN
tercollegiate and American record as
well. Foster did not create any new
records. but his double victory OF 10 sec
onds for the 100 yards and 81 20 for
the 900 yards was almost as notable.
1t is unusual and unprecedented that
three Youngsters should do such maSnifi-
cent running in their first year. Conse-
ouently. if they did this we'll in their
initial performances, one can only Won
der what they will accomplish this season.
the three men mentioned. probably the
most is expectd of PAUL. for his running
was more nota BILE than that OF Taylor or
Foster Paulls time, All -. was Just
- 10 seconds outside the world record TOR
the mile run. He won the event ny luIiy
40 yards, and was not pushed at any
stage of the race. Had he rr1 ms last
quarter as hard as he could, thout say
ing himself for the half mile later, there
is no doubt that he would have made
new world record. Since the last IN
tercollegiates the Quaker has been train
ing easily Coach Murphy did not let
him run cross country in the fall, ana
PAUL himself has refused to compete In
any outside events. Consequently he mas
not run a race since last June. Coach
Murphy expects great things o. Paul
