advantage on account OF the retention OF
so many veterans, but the lthacans are
doubly fortunate in retaining all or their
first place winners. The possession OF such
men as ]. +. Jones and Tel Berna makes II
almost certain that the lthacans Will once
more win the half. the mile and two mile
events. Jones. If he continues TO take the
splendid care Of himself he now is taking,
is virtually sure Of retaining tho champion
shin In the half and mile runs. and there
does not appear to be any man In sight
capabIe OF lowering the colors OF Berna in
the two-mile event.
Cornelrs greatest loss Is that Of St'bot.
the hurdler Stibot was second TO Chis-
holm, Of Yale. last year in both hurdles.
and there was very little superiority on the
part OF Chisholm. Ford although he
scored only three points. being second In
the 220-yard dash, is a severe loss, because
there is a dearth Of good sprinters this
year The only other man Cornell loses is
D'Autremont who tied with Byers, OF
Yale for third place in the pole vault.
The twenty points which Yale has lost
are represented by Chisholm, who scored
ten points by winning both hurdles; by
Holden, the winner OF the broad Jump; XII
patrick, second In the shot-put, and Childs,
third In the hammer throw Yale has like
wise lost a good many OF her second string
men, so that the prospects arc not nearly
so bright for the Ellis as they were year
ago.
Although Michigan has lost but two OF
her 1911 point winners. they were nearly
two-thirds the strength OF the Wolyerines'
ta 4. - 4 L.
winner Of the 100 and 2eO yard dashes. and
J. J. Horner. tho winner Of the shot-put.
With the exception OF Horner. who might
have had trouble 10 win the shot-put, the
two Wolverines We're virtually certain 20
win their events again Michigan stir re-
tsins Han. who was fourth In the quarter.
mile; Handvan. second in the mile and
Haihbaugh, third in the two-u1ile run.
With the exception Of Burd!ck and Far
rier. who tied for first in the high iurn,
with Dalrymplo. Of tho Massachusetts In.
stitute Of Technology. Pennsylvania had
no first place winners 20 lose. Tho 0l-7
points which the QGakers lose are rcpre-
sentcd by Minds who was second IN tho
lo0-yard dash; PAUL, who was third IN
the mile run: Farrier. who tied for first IN
the high jump. and Murphy. who was
fourth In the hammer throw. The Quaker
still have Rodkv, fourth In the half mile;
Mercer and Lafamme, second and third in
the broad lump. Burdick, who tied for
first in the high Jump, and Haydock. fourth
IN the 22c-yard hurdles.
The Princeton team, which scored (
points, Is minus four OF them through the
graduation Of Cooke, who was third IN
both sprints. It's remaining four points
were scored by Sawyer, second in the
quarter mile. and by Thomas. fourth in the
lO0-yard dash. Dartmouth retained all OF
her 2 points. which were scored by Tilley
and Marden. who were first and secon
in the hammer throw, and Fnright. who
was fourth in the high jump.
OF the other colleges, Harvard loses only
two OF her points through the graduation
Of Jacques. third I'm the half mile The
Crimson still retains 1awless fourth n
the mile, Wilmington. fourth IN the two
mile, and Cummings, third in the 22O-yard
hurdles. Amherst has lost all Of her 6
points by the graduation OF Young, the
winner OF tie A0-yard dash
There is lots OF room for a new sprinter
TO cover himself with glory. This is be-
cause, of last years point winners. the
only one left IS Thomas, Of Princeton II
is very rare indeed that one years gradu-
ating classes removes four such splendid
sprinters as Craig, Minds, Cooke and Ford.
Strangely enough, there are not at present
any very capable sprinters In the college
ranks. At this writing the best OF the lot
seems 10 be Marshall. of Pennsylvania.
who as a freshman last year was credited
ri n
seconds Still, what he will do I'm inter-
collegiate competition is another matter.
There is not much room for any new
distance runners TO win honors as long
as such men as Jones. Putnam and Berna.
all Of Cornell; Hanavan, of Michigan, and
Lawless and Wilmington, both of Har-
ward, are in college. They constitute
about the best collection of distance men
that has ever met In a single intercolle-
giate meet It is in these events that
Cornell will probably make her biggest
sweep, and she should easily outscore all
the other colleges in these three races.
At this writing II is impossible to say
what new men are likely to distinguish
themselves. There are a number, how
ever, who are virtually sure TO be heavy
poInt winners. One of them is Russell
Beatty, of Columbia University. He would
not be eligible at any other university, but
Columbia. having no freshman rule. viii
use him Beatty was one of the best shot
putters in the country while member
of the New York Athletic Club. He has
frequently put the shot better than forty
eight feet, and probably would have beaten
Horner himself had he been eligible last
