Cambridge, Mass. May 26. Cornell
! University outscored its rivals las eA-
pected. in the contesting of the prelim-
/ inary trials in eleven of the thirteen
/ events which compose the programme
| of the forty-frst annual track and neld
! championships of the intercollegiate
/ Association of Amateur Athletes OF
/ America. held in the Harvard STADIUM
/ here this afternoon. The ithaca team
succeeded in advancing eighteen men
/ into the finals, which are 10 be held TO-
morrow afternoon, and all OF its pest
athletes came through as Coach JACK
| Moakley anticipated. W
Competing on the team was Anna W
/ Richards. who evidently had not SUI
/ fered any bad effects from his sup
posed serious injury sustained at the
! Penn relay races He qualified IN both
the running high jump, leaping D feet
/ 11i2 inches, while he tossed the 10
pound shot almost 46 feet. HIS I'M
/ expectedly good showing was source
| of much rejoicing for the Comedians
/ Yale closely pressed cornell oy get-
/ ting fifteen men through the prelimi-
nary test, and many enthusiasts DeheVe
/ that the Eli boys will prove contender
/ for the team honors. Harvard is thlrd,
with eight, while Leland Stanford ana
the University Of California, which are
expected 10 carry away several indlvid-
ual titles. qualified seven athletes, along
with Pennsylvania, Dartmouth and
/ Princeton. Other institutions to have
men i'm the final races are Michigan, D;
Penn State, 4; Bowdoin, 2; Syracuse,
and Massachusetts Institute OF
Technology, Rutgers and Swarthmore,
each. The entry included athletes
+ from twenty-three institutions, and nj
/ teen succeeded in putting men In the
finals. -,
Moakley showed that he had a well
balanced team, when his charges quail
fled in each event. In the 1CO-yard
dash he has four candidates tor the
final, with two in the furlong dash,
three in the 120-yard high hurdles and
/ as many i'm the half-mile run. W. d..
/ Grim survived for the final in the
| 41O-yard dash. Yale Is represented IN
every contest with the exception of the
440-yard run and the ld-pound hammer,
where its weak members failed 70 earn
a place.
The stadium track was in splendid
condition. a little rain on Thursday
night helping 10 put IL in shape for
record breaking performances. How
ever, a strong wind blew up during the
carly afternoon, and this, it was feared,
would initiate against the acceptance
Of any records in the spring races. The
sun shone down with warmth and the
athletes quickly limbered up to their
work.
Fred Murray and j. X. Norton. the
sensational hurdlers, deeply impressed
the spectators with their performance
in skimming the hurdles. Both quail
flied for both obstacle races, Murray
covering the 120-high distance in 10
seconds. Although this broke the in
tercollegiate record by one-ifth of a
second, made by A. b. Shaw, of Dart
mouth, eight years ago. the Judges re-
fused 10 accept the mark, owing to the
wind that the competitors had at their
backs. Norton recorded the best time
over the low sticks at 220-yards, with
performance of "a 1-5 seconds.
Harry Worthington, the Dartmouth
Kangaroo, also leaped to new figures in
the running broad Jump. but, as he
fouled the take-off by the small frac-
tiOn of one eighth Of an inch, his feat
Of "A feet ~ inches will not be al
lowed. However, he proved the best Of
the field, with jump of "a feet a
inch.
There were few upsets during the af-
ternoon. Ufer, the Michigan middle
distanc. runner, failed TO gain place
IN the Ss0-yard run, while Haydock, the
Harvard pole vaulter, another expected
point getter, also failed to qualify.
