champion Michigan Splinter, has made
the best time.
Beatty Best With the Shot.
A new record is loked for in the shot
put, in which Beatty OF Columbia is the
favorite. Beatty has a mark OF As feet
| which he made last year. but a weak
back has prevented him from duplicating
that performance this year. Conceding
| Beatty first place. the man who looks
most likely to take second is Kohler Of

collegiate record OF 45 feet inches last

even Beatty, II the latter is not in good
condition. while Kanzler OF Cornell Is the
most likely man for the remaining posi-
ton.
In the hammer throw Cable Of Harvard
has made the best throw of the year, q
few inches more than 154 feet. Both
Marden and Tilley Of Dartmouth have
come within a foot or two Of that, so
that any one of the three may be return
ed the winner. Kohler OF Michigan.
Speers Of Princeton and Simpson OF
Pennsylvania have all beaten 145 feet
Any of these three may spring a sur
prise and beat out either the Harvard
man or the two from Dartmouth.
Babcock of Columbia and Cable of
Harvard are credited with the best broad
jumping Of the year. each having done
% feet 10 inches, Babcock against SYRIA
cuse and Gable against Yale Mercer OF
Pennsylvania however. has come within
two inches of that mark and is generally
considered a better man for the event
than either Babcock or Gable. Warren OF
Michigan, Faulkner of Bowdoin, La
F'lamme of Pennsylvania, Diggs OF Yale
and Austin of Harvard have all beaten

will take considerably better han % feet
