There is probably more wldesnr..,

Cornell has slightly the better char..

because Pennsylvania Is overwhs,r,u.1-
strong in the sprints and Cornell tba 49,.
In the distance runs and some Of IN. az.

points picked UP by the dark hornea -
The Quakers are sure TO outscor. i,
lthacans in the sprints, the Quarter ~
half-mile runs and the hurdle races H.
Rersoll seems to be Cornell's onlv anrin,sl
but couldn't score In the furlonR In NJ.
100 and 220 yards he will meet Lipplnco,,
Patterson and Kaufman. Not ono y
these men has done 10 seconds this vss-
and the Cornell man may be A surnrls.
Cornell is apparently weak In the 291 sns
44O yards dashes and the Quakers shous
make killing here. In the halk.m,l.
Meredith and Spelden will meet m.
Cornell man was beaten only by lnchs.
in the Harvard meet in 1:56 1-5. so thst
Meredith can take no chances. stnl m.
Quaker star should win both the auartsr
and half-mile events. Cornell Ia uks,
to get second and third in the half arst
and second in the mile, and probably n
three places in the two miles.
Harvard Is probably stronger on The
track, with Yale having the better Il
the argument In the hurdles and the fed
events, except possibly the pole vault.
But the big universities will not man.
opolize interest on track and field A,
Haverford the Middle States inferred.
legiate meet will be held These Ranss
will bring together all of the stronrest
minor college teams of the State with TIA
exception of Penn State and the Car isa
Indians 1t will also bring out ses al
strong teams from New Jersey and New
York who belong to this class 1t is hard
to pick a winner. but Swarthmore Dc.
serves to be the favorite. Roy Mercer
has developed splendid all around team.
In Zarega he has a youngster who 3
likely to be heard from In the inferred.
lcgiate championships within a year Or
two.
On Franklin Field there will be tw,
interesting meets. First will be the
senior Middle States Interscholaslls
championships. followed by the annual
meet between the Pennsylvania and Cor
nell freshmen. Both should be prodsr
tive of good performances.
OF equal importance with these tIiA
meets today will be featured by q
triangular race between Princeton Yas
and Cornell on Lake Carnegie at Prlnrs.
ton. 1t will be Princeton's last Inter.
collegiate race. but the first test for Cor.
nell and virtually the same for Yale Al
though there Is little evidence on whlea
to judge the strength of Yale and Cor
nell the Princeton crew Is the favoriie.
1t Is true that Yale beat Pennsylvania,
but the Ellis got more prestige than row.
Ing experience from that contest. Prince.
ton, on the other hand, beat the Nav
decisively and then rowed away from
Pennsylvania and Columbia last week
All who have seen the Tiger eight 81
work agree that 1t is a splendid crsF
physically and that the blade work Is %
fine as anything seen at either Poughs
keepsie or New London.
