This Spring-Miehiean Looks to 3,
Strong.
New York, April 5,-All eyes arr
now turned on the ~ntercollegiat
championships, which are scheduled
to take place in the Harvard Stadium
on May 80. For three or four weeks
past coaches have sent their men on,
to try themselves in their specialties
and according to reports every college
will be fit and ready when the curtain
arises on what it expected to be tn,
greatest meeting of recent years.
DopesterS have begun their undyinG
task of trying to pick the winning in
stitution two months in advance
Graduation of several stars will hurt
the smaller colleges more 50 than the
big universities. Pennsylvania tri,
umphed in clean-cut style last year
but she has the fight of her life or
her hands this year. Cornell mus
be commended with by reason of tho
fact that she retains Is M a half OF
II points scored last year, as against
ID points that will represent Penn out
of a total of 2S.
These same ~manipulators of the
dope stuff figure out that half a dozen
new records will be set up Memorial
day. -Four World-famous stars. three
of them record-holders, will be. seen
again in competition.
John Paul Jones of Cornell, holds
the worlds record for the mile: Marc
S. Wright of Dartmouth, is still the
proud posscssor of the best mark for
the pole vault; Russell l.. Beatty of
Columbia, has managed to stay in
front with the best shot-put, while X.
/. Wendall of Wesleyan, who has
made more than good over the hurdles
since his fine showing at Stockholm,
will give Jimmy Craig of Michigan,
the toughest fight he ever experienced
over the low sticks.
Pennsy Looks Good.
Going by statistics and the condi-
ton of several prominent point scor-
ers, Jack Monkeys team is generally
picked to grab off the big cup. If
Penn manages to win again this year
she will be on an equal footing with
the Ithacan institution. This is the
only chance for Cornell, for if her John
Paul Jones or several Others fail at
the psychological moment, so to speak,
Penn will not only tie her, but run
away with the laurels a year hence.
Syracuse is through, as concerns
her chances Of getting second or third
place. She suffers heavily by the loss
of Reidpath, who scored 10 Of her II
points last year. In contrast, Michi-
gan comes to the front with her Craig,
Captain Half, Haimpaugh and kohler.
The Michigan team will hear the
closest kind of watching. Craig won
the lowest hurdles last year and he
is said to have improved considerably
since that time. He should be many
yards better than any other low
hurdler in the college ranks. Haff,
who finished second to Reidpath, and
who showed some good stuff on the
other side. will be on the job for fair
this time. kOhlcr, who finished
fourth in the. hammer throw, is sure
to better his position.
Four Stars Lost.
Penn has lost four of her stars by
graduation. They include BurdicK
the winner Of the high jump; Lane
second in this event: Edwards. srcond
in the high hurdles, and Haydock, sec
ond in the low hurdles. If Lippln-
colt, Marshall and Patterson com,
around O. X, Mix" Murphy believes
he will win just As easily as last year
Jones is Moaklcy's ace in the hole
Jack figures On John Paul winning
the half and mile races, which grea
task he accomplished two years ago
Taber tied Jones in The mile last year
but Jones is going to pay more attcn,
ton to himself this time, because ii,
will not be asked to help a collcg,
mate.
