Cambridge, Mass, May 29-Despite
occasional upsets and surprises the
track teams of the University of Penn
syivania, Cornell and Yale competed
true to form here today, qualifying
the leading number of athletes in the
preliminaries of the 39th annual cham
pionship meet of the Intercollegiate
Association of Amateur Athletes of
America. Cornell placed 16, Pennsyl-
vania II, Yale 49, Harvard II, Michi-
gan 10. California and Dartmouth S,
Princeton 4. with six other institutions
represented by scattering placements.
With a fast track and a stiff breeze
blowing down the stretch the perform
ances averaged well but there was lit
tie that verged on the sensational, the
star competitors evidently holding in
reserve the energy which will be need
ed in the finals tomorrow afternoon.
The best performance of the day was
the winning of the first heat of the
120-yard high hurdles by B. ". Brodt
of Cornell in 10 2-5 seconds. Run
ming within one-fifth of a second of
the intercollegiate record Brodt de-
feated Potter of Yale by five yards
and the Yale star later broke down
in the first qualifying heat for second
men, being easily defeated by P:ckard
of Colgate.
Pennsylvania failed TO qualify Pat
terson in either the 100 or the 900
yard dashes and Lippincott, who re-
Gently pulled tendon. made a game
but unsuccessful effort to score for
the Red and Blue in the 220. The Uni
versity of California and Michigan,
although overshadowed by the size of
the teams entered by several of the
eastern universities and colleges. gave
a remarkable demonstration of the call
ibre of the athletes OF the Middle and
Far West The Wolverines placed 10
and the Pacific Coast champions 8.
While it is considered unlikely that
either will win the meet tomorrow,
both are expected to be placed well up.
Because of the excellent all-round
showing of the Cornell team the Ithaca
collegians are favorities for first place,
but the new scoring system. which
allows five points for first, four for
second, three for third and two for
fourth and one for fifth. is likely to
produce an exceedingly close and ex-
citing finish.
