CORNELL LEADS THE
 BASKETBALL RACE. Comeback of Columbia During Last Week Big Surprise-Tigers Lost First Game.

Cornell, by defeating Princeton, and Columbia, by defeating Yale and Pennsylvania, frightened up the race for the intercollegiate basketball title and the prospects are that the second half of the league race that the second make up for the lack of interest in the early games.
 The biggest surprise of the week was the comback of the Columbia five, which seemed hopelessly out of the running after successive defeats by Princeton and Pennsylvania. If the Columbia team continues to play the kind of basketball displayed in the contests last week, it will be right on the leaders before another week rolls around. As it is, the Blue and White is only one full game behind Cornell which busted Princeton from the top most rung in the league standing,

CORNELL STARS WILL
 COMPETE IN BIG HEET
intercollegiate Games Set for March 6
 at Madison Square Garden.


 All of the star athletes of the cham pion Cornell track team will be entered in the indoor games of the Inter-oileSi- ate Association of Amateur Athletes of America to be held in Madison Square Garden on March 6. according 10 the present plans of Coach Jack Noakiey. While it is not yer possible to make final plans for this meet, it is probable that Cornell will enter 30 athletes in the games.
 Plans for Relays.
 Among the men who will represent the Red and White at New York are the crack distance runners, Speiden, Hoffmire, Potter and Windnagle: Alma Richards. the former Olympic cham pion high jumper; Milton, who scored in the pole vault in the iutercoiiegiates last spring. IngersOll, who scored in the sprints in the same meet last spring. fMCCutCheon. who gained @ point in the hammer throw at that meet and a number of other men who have shown considerable ability in dual and other meets.
 able that Cornell will enter at least four relay teams in each of the three field events, namely, shotput, high jump and pole vault.
 It seems certain that the lthaCans will be represented in the relay event in which each man will run loo yards and in the event in which each man will run 2.OO0 yards. It is also prob able that Tn the relay race in which each man will run 800 yards and that in which each man will run 900 yards the IthaCGns will also enter teams. Cornell is probably stronger Tn the longer distances and, therefore. Coach ATCaklev will proba ply make big play for these events.
