HARD ROAD AHEAD Of
ASPIRING ATHLETES
Many Cracks Left Over From
Last Season Will Compete
This Year.
By Edward R. Bushnell.

Young and aspiring university track
athletes. whose one ambition is to be
numbered with the point winners at the
intercollegiate track and field champion
ships, the blue ribbon of amateur track
athletics In this country, will find their
task more difficult this year than usual
This is due to the fact that there are
NOR, of the 1909 point winners back i'll
college and eligible TO compete than is
generally the case.
There are only 143 possible points to be
scored in the Intercollegiate. Of the
men who composed the point winners last
year there have graduated or left col
lege men who scored GA 30 points. which
leaves still in their various universities
men who scored 7S $40 points. For sew
eral years past the number of point Win
ners lost through graduation or other
causes has usually exceeded the number
left condition of affairs which fur
nshed hope for the youngsters vino work
so hard for the honor of finishing within
the first four in the thirteen standard
events.
The following table shows at a glance
the position and points scored by the
various colleges last year. the points lost
and tanned.

From the foregoing table it will be seen
that Harvard fares by far the best of
the competing colleges, and when one re-
members the magnificent team that Har-
ward had year ago, ii is hard to see d
very bright prospect for the other col
leges to head off the Crimson. Harvard
has a nucleus of enough point winners
right now which far outscores the total
made by Yale a year ago. Harvard S
advantage in this respect looks even
more impressive when 1T is considered
that the Crimson's nucleus represents
more points than are left TO ale, Penn
sylvania and Cornell combined, and lacks
but q few Of euualing the total with
Michigan added. OF the twelve men who
scored Harvard's total OF 39.l points she
has lost but two. These are ex-Capt
Rand and HARDWOOD. who between them
scored but 30 points. This leaves the
Crimson with Foster, the double winner
in the sprnts: Blumer, first in the quar-
ter mile: Capt. Little, the winner of the
shot put: Gardner. second in the low
hurdles: Pope and Lawrence who tied
for first with three others in the high
Jump: Barr, who tied for second in the
pole vault: Jacques, third in the two
miles. and Watson and Kelley, who were
fourth in the DO and 40 yards respect
lively.
There is only one way for any college
to win these championships from Har-
ward. That is by beating out Harvard
men. for every point taken from Harvard
and added to its own score will hit Har-
ward doubly hard.
Yale is the heaviest loser. for the Ellis
have lost men who scored sixteen points
for them a year ago. leaving them but
nucleus of 81 points. Yale's heaviest loss
is that of ex-Capt. Howe. who won both
the high and low hurdles The Ellis have
also lost Campbell, the winner and inter-
collegiate record holder in the pole vault
Their final loss is that of Splitter. who
was fourth in the half-mile run. The
point winners retained are Nelson, who
tied for second in the pole vault: Goebel.
who was third in the hammer throw.
and Garfield. who was one of five to tie
for first i'm the high jump.
The University of Pennsylvania has
lost three of the five men who scored
IFS ao5 points The absentees are
Beck, winner of the half mile; Hartranft,
second in the high and third in the low
