proud. For a green lad. this freshna n
or the University OF Pennsylvania has
shown far greater Improvement on this
trip than any OF our sprinters This I
say, realizing that every one OF them
has done unusually well.
1 was not at all surprised at Nelson
s. Babcock's victory in the pole vault,
though there was little to choose among
the Columbia men. Frank s. Nelson,
Yale's offering. and Marc 8 Wright,
Dartmouth. Babcock. however. had
shown the best and most consistent form
OF all the pole vaulters since coming
here. He Won because of superior
strength and form in one Of the longest
drawn out contests / have ever seen.
Hapeny. Of Canada, and Cggla, OF Swe-
den, were the only men who gave the
Americans the least bit OF trouble.
Everything points to an American VIC
tory in the hurdles tomorrow. Five of the
six men to qualify for the final heat are
Of our team. believe the winner will
be one of John p. Nicholson. University
of Missouri; Fred W. Kelley. Los An
geles, and John r. Case. Illinois. Powell
Of England. must not be considered too
cheaply. however. He is at least a dan
gerous competitor.
Finn Gives Battle.
Nicholson and Case did by far the best
work in the semi-fnals. Yet l should
not feel SO certain of tomorrow. Tn
fortunately he fell at a time when he
was running well. and appeared sure OF
qualifying
Niklander. the Finn. gave Ralph Rose
and Pat Mcdonald a big scare in the
two-handed shot put. but once more our
men proved TO be Of real class in the
pinch. and took both first and second
places.
Tomorrow should prove a banner day
for the United States ] have made my
self clear. I think. on the bright outlook
for the hurdles. Our chances in the 400
meter run are quite as rosy. We have
an excellent chance for the discus throw
with the best hand. The 3.nn-meter team
race looks rather dubious. especially 50
from our angle, should Findland enter
the Kohlemainen brothers. They will IN
doubtedly prove the hardest kind of
team for anybody TO beat. II these formi-
dable Firms do not accept the issue our
entry will have a good chance.
