Probably never before in the history
Of the association has there been talent
of such generally exceptional quality
entered. With a fast track and favor
able weather conditions, records in every
event, with one or two possible eXcep-
tons, should be in danger The Uni
versity of Pennsylvania is conceded to
have the best chance of being the larg-
est point winner, but Harvard and
Yale viii dispute this, and Princeton
and Cornell both are confident Of gath
erIng in points.
Among the colleges and universities
which have entered are pennsylvania,
Yale. Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, Co
lUmbia, Michigan, Dartmouth, Wes-
leyan, Amherst, Williams, New York
University, the University Of Virginia,

more. Brown, Fordham, BOwdOin, Ha-
.lege Of the City OF New York.
Eighty-nine men are entered for the
10O-yard dash. Although the field in
cludeS no runner as good as Rector yet

seconds 20 win. Foster, of Harvard,

agains him are the speedy Texan.
RamSdell OF Pennsylvania. Cooke, OF
Princeton; Gamble and craig, of Michi-
gan: Chisholm, of Yale; Gardner, Of
Harvard and Macarthur md Hurlburt,
OF Cornell.
Furlong Close.
The 220-yard dash should be as close a
sprint as anyone could wish. Cooke, Of
Princeton, is a fast man, and won
handily in the dual meet with Yale. He
will have sitter opposition, however,
with such men as Ramsden, of Penn
sylvanla; Ford. Of Cornell; Foster and
Gardner. Of Harvard, and Minds, Of
Pennsylvania. Other good raen entered
are craig and Gamble, Of Michigan;

ford. If Swarthmore. and Stanton and
Wit ,hire. OF the University Of Virginia
star ton has been running in remarkably
COOL form throughout the season, and
1t Is possible that he may spring a sur
prise. Church. of Pennsylvania, is
another speedy man.
Harvard Strong.
sixty-three men are entered for the
high hurdles Harvard has strong
trio in Lewis. Long. ard Gardner, but
Dwight. Of Princeton. is faster than any
OF the three, and Chisholm, OF Yale. is
a good man, though by no means the
equal Of former Captain Howe. Eberle,
of SWarthmore, may make trouble. as
he IS very fast and experienced. Larry
Martin, captain of the University Of Vir-
Slnia team, Is on form one Of the best
men entered. and If in condition should
be the favOrite. Yales trainer said of
him last year that he was the best
natural hurdler in college. There are
sixty-seven entries for the low hurdles
The best Of these are also in the high
hurdles, and Martin on form should be
a slight faY6rite here too. Gardner, Of
Harvard; StibOlt, of Cornell. and Dusen-
formers.
Pennsylvania is on form sure to score
IN the haH-mile run. G. Church and
PAUL are ordinarily point winners in
this event, and Church has a chance Of
breaking the tape s. 5. kiTkIassOf, Of
Yale. and Howard Algire, Of Syracuse,
are two as good half-milers as one
ordinarily finds, and Bradford. of
Swarthmore, has shown promise in past
races. Other classy men are Frantz and
Whiteby, Of Princeton: Baxter, of Dart
mouth; Ryley, Of Harvard. and Leger
