 The most consistent broad Jumper that America has seen since the days of Kraenzlein was H. T. Worthington, of Dartmouth. He was the eastern | #C. A. A.. A. champion, with 23 feet champion at 2s feet, 10 inches. What made Worthington so wonderful was that he could jump all day without fouling. In the I. c. A. A. A. meet he did not foul once in his 12 jumps, and five of them were better than 2s
 Pat Ryan. who holds the worlds record for the hammer throw. was easily the best of. the year, though Lee Talbot, the former Cornell star, Bailey. of the University of Maine, were not far behind him.
 Makes Double Champion.
 A new champion appears in the shot put in the person of A. Mucks, of the University of Wisconsin. Mucks was the winner of the Western college meet, and repeated in the Central A. A. U. and the National A. A. U. cham pionships At San Francisco he heaved the leadened ball 4s feet, Il 3-4 inches, and thus becomes the fourth best shot-putter America has seen. Although. not breaking the worlds record. Mucks was likewise the best discus thrower of the year. c. Brond- CT must be ranked first in the javeiin throw though Phillips, of the Uni versity of Idaho,s and Nourse. of Princeton, were not far behind him in effectiveness. Dan Ahearn. Of the Illinois A. C.. was easily the best of the hop-step- and jump men, though this is an event alomst entirely re- stricted to A. A. IL competition. .
 Lee Talbot. one of the best all-> round weight men the 4 country has produced. surprised the athletic world by beating Pat Ryan with the 56 pound weight Ryan's friends still contend that he was the real winner of the event, but the officials ruled other wise.
 The best pole vaulter of the year is not so easily picked. Three men stand out prominently. They are F. K. Foss. of Cornell; s. Beilah, of the Multnomah A. C. of Portland, Ore; and Newsletter. of the University of Pennsylvania. At the Pennsylvania relay carnival last spring. Foss and Newsletter tied at 12 feet, 10 inches at the end of the longest afternoon of duced.

 AiI-coiIese Selection.
 The All-C College team is different from the All-America team in. sey- eral events. In the 100-yard dash the. best of the collegians was Ward, of Chicago, who several times did bet ter than even tine.s H. L. Smith, of Michigan, and E. < A. sTeschner iof Harvard, were both fairly consistent even-time men Smith was the best of the 220-yard runners. Meredith, of course, leads the quarter and half mile men. But in the mile, Meyers. of De- pauw,: who won the. Western inter- collegiates in 4:19s 1-5, deserves, to who won that event in the East in, 4:22 4-5. Potter again leads the two- niilers.
 In the high and low hurdles the best men are again Kelly and Ferguson The 440-yard hurdles is not college event, although the present A. A. U. and worlds champion in this event is Meanix. Harvard student. Rich ards and Worthington rank first in the high and broad jumps for reasons previously given. So does Foss, in the pole vault, and Mucks, in the shot put. In the shot, Whitney of Dart mouth, and Beatty of Columbia, did not compete at San Francisco. In condition they would have pushed Mucks hard. Bailey, of the University of Maine, was the best of the hammer throWers. making. a new intercollesi- ate record in this event.
