Philadelphia, June University of
PENNSYLVANIA athletes more than real
lied their highest hopes, Saturday. at
the intercollegiate championship track
and field meet on Franklin field, scor-
ing % points and winning with a mar
gin of liz points over Cornell.
Last years meet in Harvard's Sta
dunn was such a thrilling affair that
another like it was not anticipated for
years to come, but Saturdays compe-
titions We're on a par with those at
Cambridge, while at the five records
broken at the meeting. four were
marks in events for which new
standard was set only year ago
Pennsylvania team scored only two
first places. but picked up five seconds.
Q third and fourth. Mercer was the
Quakers' biggest point winner. taking
first in the broad jump with Fridays
splendid performance and yesterday
finishing second in the 220-yard dash.
Burdick of Pennsylvania was ex-
pecteo to take the high jump after Fri
days trials and led the others, as he
did, last year, but another Pennsylva-
MIA man, Lane, jumped beautifully un-
der the pressure and secured second
place.
MeCurdy, PENIS two miller. finished
second, but it was Capt. Wilmington of
the Harvard team and not Berna of
Cornell who beat him, Berna dropping
ont of the long distance after running

completing Pennsy's splendid record
for the day.
Cornell. while finishing second. had a
bad break. Things came the Ithacans'
way in the half -mile in which Moak-
ley's runners. Jones, Putnam and Sny-
der, took the first three places and in
the quarter Cozzens ran heady race
and finished third.
In the mile and two emile. however.
Cornell played for the limit and lost.
Zones was winning the mile handily
when he failed to realize that Taber of
Brown was coming up close behind
and before the Cornell crack could
even start to squirt, Taber tied him at
the tape.
Rerna was sent into the mile, which
was run 25 minutes before the two
mile event, which he was expected to
take and he finished fourth in an aw-
fully fast mile race. 1t was a lot to
expect of Berna and in the two mile
run he was unable to get up his usual
speed. Practically his best was need
ed to beat either Wilmington or Nc
curdy, Saturday.
Cornell secured II points in the runs,
in which. had things broken
right for Jones and Berna, a possible
total of 20 points might have been Sc
cured.
Cornell also got half a point IN the
pole vault, but as Penn's runners and
jumpers were performing, Cornell
could not have won the champ ,onshlp
even had she realized every nope held
before the meeting.
Michigan finished third as was ex-
pected, scoring IS points, while Har-
ward and Columbia were tied for
fourth place with 10 points apiece and
having an edge of one point over Sy-
racuse which scored II points.
