Brady. Of Columbia, and W. II. Marble, OF

Kraenzlein. now coach of the Michigan
team, seems in no danger.
Although the class in the dashes and
hurdles is hardly up to the average, excep-
tionally fine fields will compete in the other
races. Five years ago the late J. r. Tay-
lor. Penn's wonderful negro runner, turned
the quarter i'm O:4s 4-5. and that mark has
successfully stood the assaults Of the col
leGe men since then. This year II seems
in fair way If being beaten or equalled
when G. u. Reidpath. carrying tho colors
of Syracuse. goes to the mark. Last year
he was unable TO compete. but this year
he is running i'm even better form than he
did in 1910. when he took the championship
IN 20 seconds. To push him TO the limit
will be such sterling performers as =. d.
Fogg. his team mate; ". a. Barron, jr.,
of Harvard; r. NJ. Bonsib. OF Columbia;
n. s. Gamble and G. b. Half. Of Michigan,
third and fourth a year ago; II. G. Foster,
of Pennsylvania; II. ". Sawyer, Of Prince
ton and X. J. Farrar. OF Yale.
john Paul Jones, Americas greatest mid
die distance runner. is conceded first

vim without running in as fast time
as he did last year when he made

II. NJ. Preble, Of Harvard; J. NJ. Dolan, OF
Dartmouth VI. j. Hays. OF Princeton, and
