annual Intercollegiate track and Aeld
championship meet on Franklin Field
Of the University % Pennsylvania next
Saturday IS the conclusion Of virtual

The intercollegiate meet however, IS

Why Cornell is FaVorite'

With the possible exception Of the ~

Cornell is expected 10 score IN every

possibly the l0O-yard dash and TO
score IN every other event save the
quarter mile and 220-yard runs. Oi
course the Ithacans may not 90 all
this. but they will come pretty near
it If their men perform as well as they
have been doing ell spring
PENNSYLVANIA is generally picked as
the team most likely 70 worry and pos
fibly 20 beat Cornell. The Quakers
have team which may prove uneX-
pectedly strong OF may so 20 pieces.
This is due TO the fact that the Red
and Blue stars are concentrated In a
very few events. All their eggs arc IN
d few baskets. Pennsylvania is stak-
ing everything on the spirits, quarter
and half mile runs and the hurdles.
II the men make good here, or some
thing happens TO CornelIs distance
stars, the Quakers may furnish the Dig
surprise. .
Cornell is banking lot on lnGersoll

the Harvard dual meet. lie has beaten
The best o. Peunsylvanla's sprinters
and also triumphed over Ieschner, OF
Harvard. II he wins he will give Cor
nell 8 points and force Pennsylvania
down. Il isn't likely that lngersoll can
score in the 23O-yard dash, and there
IS no one fast enough 20 get point IN
the quarter.
In the half and mile runs il looks as
though Cornell would double up with
Speiden and Windnagle Even Cornell
men don't know which OF these men 10
the better. Last year Spclden won the
mile clcverlv, but failed 20 place In
the half-,nile. though he had previously
run l:b4 trial. Windnagle IS q new
man who has done APP for the mile
and better than $50 for the half. Cor
nell hopes 20 see these men finish hrst
and second IN the mile and for one OF
them To get fourth in the half.
There seem 70 be only two men with
chance 70 beat them in the mile, and
they are Mckenzie, Of Princeton, and
Poueher, Of Yale. Neither the Tiger
nor Yale star is an exceptionally good
racer, so that Cornell ought 20 get
at least q first and third in this event.
But IL Is hard 70 see how either man
can do much in the half against such
men as Meredith, Of Pennsylvania;
Bingham and Capper, Of Harvard, and
Hayes, Of Princeton.
