Track Squad to Big
Fixture-Michigan
a Dark Horse.

Every indication points to the tact
that the Penn relay carnival at Phila-
Gelphia on April % and "a will be the
most successful meet of the kind ever
held in this country. With the fixtures
still almost three weeks distant, eighty
COLLEGES and almost two hundred other
institutions have sent in their entries,
and before the date set il is probable
this list will number more than three
hundred.
Cornell has stated definitely that she
will send at least two teams to the
games. Potter, Hofmire, Speiden and
Nindnagle. famous quartet or
milers. will run in the fOurmile relay,
and are already favorites for this race.
Moakley, the track coach, will enter a
team i'm either the two or one mile
relay, besides men in all the special
events.
The Cornell men will meet stiff OPP
position in the relays. as Michigan,
illinois. Chicago, Pennsylvania, Kan
sas and NJ. |. r. have entered teams
and are confident of extending Moak-
ley's men to their limit. Kansas Uni
versity is a newcomer in the East, but
is said to have several fast milers I'M
der cover.
Michigan is regarded as the dark
horse" in the four-mile relay, and the
Westcruers are chock full of conf
dence in their ability to go the pace
with any aggregation.
The running high jump should bring
out the keenest of competition, with
h men like Alma Richards, of Cornell
0 thc Olympic CHAMPION; Wesley Oler, Of
" Yale; Davy, of Princeton; Crane, Of
Pennsylvania. and others to dispute the
supremacy. Going up!

meet Foertch went the 800 yards il
1925. only three-tifths Of seconc
behind Reidpath's time for the dis
lance.
