mile run. Present indications are. that
pennsylvania may do this According to
reports from Harvard. Foster. the inter-
collegiate 100 and DO yard champion
Splinter. is i'll with the measles and Har-
ward has abandoned hope of him doing
anything this year: while Blumer. the
quarter-mile champion. has left the uni
versity. 1t is also stated that Little Barr
and Jacques of the Harvard team are
suffering from injuries which must re-
duce their effectiveness very greatly.
The condition Of Foster Is the most I'm
portant to Pennsylvania. In spite of the
yard dash at the relays there are many
who think that Foster. he ran last
year. is the better man. But IL Rams
dell should win the two sprints the Qusk-
ers would have a big advantage. In addi-
ton to Ramsdell they have Hough. who
can run any distance up to the quarter.
and Minds. who was third in both sprints
last year. Then Smith. who ran his quar-
ter in close to 80 seconds, has still to be
reckoned with. Consequently If the Qua
kers can get from fifteen to twenty points
In the short runs. these. added to the
same number they are sure to get in the
distance runs and the high jump, will
give them a total of about thirty, which
ought to be enough to win. -
The Quakers have a bunch of half mil
ers who will have to be reckoned with
Two of these. Church and Foster. both
beat 1-5S for their relays. and with Boyle
and PAUL should score heavily here
Michigan was pretty much of q diaap-
pointment I'm that her team lost the one
nish a surprise or two at the coming in
tercollegiate meet.
Cornell did not give evidence Of much
scoring strength except I'm the distance
runs. Taylor and Berna are about the
only dependable men Moakley has to
work with. Yale is likely to furnish the
Pennsylvanians with the most trouble
IL Harvard's injuries are serious as

the obstacles standing Yale has an un-
usually good man. probably the best In
college ranks. fitzpatrick showed that he
is likly to score in the short and broad
jump. and with Kirjassoff in the half

Coming Olympic Championships.
The Swedish Olympic committee. which
is arranging for the fifth Olympiad at
Stockholm in 1912. has made public
enough Of its plans to inform this coun-
try that the management will be very
much the same as at London in 1905 At
first thought 1t may seem that this is
likely to be offensive to this country, but
it need not be so. This country had no
serious complaint to make against the
method of management in 1905. 1t was
rather the attitude OF the English on
Gals that aroused this country.
The Swedes are to be congratulated for
taking the initiative to reduce the num-
Der of events and to finish the entire pro-
gram within ten days. There Is. to be no
in archery, fencing, racouets
crOquet or other sports which made the
English games ridiculous. The Swedes
propose to have an all-around champion
ship. and in general to map out pro-
gram of manly events in which every
will have a fair chance for a team
For this the Swedes de-
serve much thanks. Such thing was
not possible at the London Olympiad. for
the English program was such that the
Britons had the point score won before
the An,e-i"en team was oven selected
