COLLEGIATE record OF e.26 SIS Berna has
never been beaten at this distance, except
when ne permitted his own teammates to
take FIRST place. He showed by running
the distance In e-3l In the Pennsylvania
meet that he Is in rare condition. The
fight for second place Is likely TO Nc be-
tween Wilmington of Harvard ana Wolfe
OF Pennsylvania. with the chances sight
ly favoring the former. An outsider 10
likely TO get the remaining point.
The hurdle races this year are really
treacherous. The new rules, which pro-
vide for the disqualification OF any man
who knocks over three hurdles, Is likely
to eliminate one or more OF tho star per
formers. In the Yale-PYtnceton meet
Chisholm OF Yale was eliminated In this
way. and in the Harvard-Dartmouth meet
the winner knocked over six hurdles. but
was still given first place In violation OF
the rules. an occurrence which Will not
be tolerated in the /. c. A. A. A. A. meet.

fight for second place should be between

In the low hurdles Dwight may beat

year, but the Tiger captain has shown
great improvement over the low sticks
this year Haydook and Stibo't are again
likely to fight Ii out for the remaining
points
Turning to the field events there are
three events in which the result looks
like a foregone conclusion. These are the
high jump. In which Burdick or Pennsyl-
van!a has no serious rival. the pole vault.
In which Gardner of Yale is supreme, and
the shot put. which every one comedies to
Horner OF Michigan without argument.
In the high jump Burdicks most serious
rival Is Farrfer. his team-mate. who can
jump consistently in the neighborhood OF
six feet Furthermore. Lane. also OF
Pennsylvania. looks like a certain point
winner. IL Garfield OF Yale should regain
the form ne showed in his first year.
when he was one OF five men 10 tie for

man, but BOO has since been about his
limit.
The broad jump Is uncertain. The in

is expected to keep him out of the inter
collegiates. The best broad jumping
done this year was by Holden of Yale.

with leap of 22.014. Holden surprised
every one in this meet and cleared this
distance on his first and only trial. In

off and If his ankle is well by the day of
the intercollegiates he is not unlikely TO
be the winner. champlin of Syracuse
did 22.04 in the Michigan meet and il he
can repeat this performance Is sure to
be a point winner. Ford of Cornell who
won fourth last year, is sprinting now
and not likely TO try the jump.
In the pole vault Gardner of Yale looks
to be the best man. though much will
depend upon BaDcock OF Columbia. who
tied with him at II feet last year. Bah
cock is Columbia's best all-round ath-
lete. but he has been running the hur-
dies. throwing the hammer and high and
broad jumping in addition to pole vault
ing, so that the chances are against his
seriously worrying Gardner. Wagner
and Byers. also of Yale, are good for
about Il feet. that Yale men are
counting on scoring at least S points in
this event. The other pole vaulters ere
all mediocre men.
