Cornell Has Best Chance to Win
or these performances the most notable
were tho half-mile runs at Princeton and
Cambridge, Hayes. the Tiger star, doing
1855 3-5 against Yale, and Bingham, of
Harvard. running the distance for the
first time since his freshman year, making
/ sc l-5. Evidently Bingham intends to
stick to this distance, leaving the quarter

against Cornell in the exceptionally fast
time of IS 3-5 seconds.
Trouble is plling up for Cornel's two
mile runners because in addition 70 Over

Potter in 9:S3 1-5 Cornell is sure to score
heavily with Richards. who, in addition
to winning the high jump, is likely to
beat 10 feet in the shot-put, and he may
even get point In the broad jump.
From the Pennsylvania standpoint the
best news was the double victory of Pat
terson in both sprnts and of Ferguson in
the two hurdles. Patterson shows new
evidence every week of regaining his 1918
FORM while Ferguson not only demon
strated that he Is In class by himself
as n low hurdler, but he won the high |
hurdles in faster time than he ever ran
before. Cornell still has the best chance
TO win the meet unless the Quaker sprint |
ers and hurdlers clean up in their events. !
