Philadelphia, May S1.-The tryouts on
Franklin field, today, for the finals in
the Intercollegiate track and held
events. tomorrow, indicated that the
team championship probably lies be-
tween Cornell, last years winner, and
Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvanians
qualified 10 men, the greatest number
of men in the II events in which trials
were necessary, and Cornell qualified
seven, but the lthieans are strong in
the branches of the sport in which
they will run men, tomorrow. Harvard
showed up well. but not SO strongly as
was expected.
Three of Pennsylvania men are in
tho low hurdles and three in the high
barriers. Cornell has three of her sew
en- men in the half-m run. Harvard
qualified nine men; Yale eight; Column
hia eight: Dartmouth seven; Miehi :
gan seven; Princeton six; Syracuse

put, was broken. r. L. Beatty of Co
lnmhia. in his second throw placed the

collegiate record was 46 feet, Is inches,
made by J. J. Horner of Michigan, in
1911. Beatty also holds the college rec
ord of AS feet, 7as inches made, last
year.
One of the surprises of the day was
Pennsylvania being shut out in the
l0o-yard dash. She was expected to
get one or two men through, but all
of them appeared in poor form. The
fastest time in the four heats in the
event was 10 2-5 seconds against a
strong wind.
Despite the wind good time was
made in the quartermile run and In
the half-mile event. The best time in
the quarter was made by Reidpath of
Syracuse, who won his heat without
being pushed in 40 As seconds Snyder

half mile ] minutes, 81 seconds. Good
time was also made in the 220yard
dash.

shotpnt another notable performance
in the field events was Meyers broad
