CROWD WILL WITNESS
FAST MEN OF TRACK
Athletes Gathering for Meet in Harvard Stadium
Taber and Jones Furnish Chief Cause for
Speculation Among Those Who
Are Picking Winners

Boston. May 2s.-Although Taber
and Jones will be the centre OF at
traction at the intercollegi meet
the other races will draw the atten-
ton Of everyone who will journey 10
the Harvard stadium to witness them
on Friday. This is particularly true
OF the 100. 220 and 440-yard events. in
which the fastest men in the country
are entered.
In the l00-yard event there are four
men entered who have been caught in
8 +-5 seconds this spring. These are
bond, OF Michigan: Keller OF Cornell
and Patterson and Iippincott. OF Penn
syivania All OF these athletes have
shown speed that would entitlc them
to consideration In the fastest com
pany. Lippincott will undoubtedly
run in the go and 440-yard events.
He may possibly start in the 100 but
If he does he will be taking a great
task on his hands. for the preliminary
heats and trials in the different races
will tire him out TO such an extent
that he would probably make mis-
cradle showing In all OF his races.
In addition 10 those men entered
there is also MARSHALL of Iennsyl-
vania. Cornell. OF Yale, and Olsen OF
Dartmouth, who have all shown very
close TO ten seconds for the l00-yard
event
The same strong array OF talent Is
entered in the 20o-yard race, but II is
felt that Lippincott will have this
event at his mercy. as he has shown
such wonderful speed and strength
over this distance that It is doubtful
II he will be defeated In addition to
the entries in the 100, Seward, of Mich
iRan. and Harland, OF Princeton, with
Robertson, of Syracuse. have all shown
wonderful form in their appearances
this spring. Seward has been credited
with doing 21<l5 seconds for the fur
long event. If he is able TO do this
In the stadium. he will force Lippin-
colt to run the fastest race of his
career.
Mnny for Qunrter-NIiIe.
The quarter mile race has fine list
OF double furlong champions entered.
Here again Lippincott is looked upon
as the winner. for the former Olympic
star and Pennsylvania b athlete has
shown form that will entitle him to
win. lie has a victory over Cozzens,
of Cornell, to his credit. He has also
defeated every athlete this summer that
has been sent against him. Barron.
of Harvard. has covered the distance
several times in forty nine seconds. He
was. however, defeated by CoZZens in
the Harvard Cornell meet. He will be
much faster Saturday. however, for he
has improved wonderfully since then.
Jansen, of Michigan. is another fast
quarter miller who Will bear watching.
He has done SO 2-5 seconds for the
distance on bad track and his form
should enable him to get the place.
Bowser a former New England track
star, now competing under the colors
of Syracuse, Is another dangerous man
in this event.
Bowscr when right is capable of
covering the full quarter-mile In 40
seconds or better. He is being hailed
by many as another Charlie Rcidpath.
Half. the Michigan star, who last
year ran second to Reidpath. will start
In the half-mile instead OF. the quarter
this year. Many are picking him as
the winner OF this event, but 1t Is Inn
possible to see how he will be able to
get better than fourth position In the
half. II he showed any Of last years
form he could easily win the quarter
mile event Saturday.
Jones, Taber and Brown, Of Yale, Will
