CAMBRIDGE Mass. May 27.-Cor- nell won the intercollegiate track and field championship in the Harvard stadium this afternoon for the third consecutive year with one of the most evenly balanced athletic combinations that Trainer Jack Moakley has uncov- cred in many a season. The Univer- sty athletics piled up a total of 45 points 10 Nale's 20 while the two Paci fiC coast universities. Stanford and California, tied for third place with 22 points each after crossing the con- tinent to give an exhibition of the type of collegiate performers develop cd in their state.
 TiIc ability of the Californians is attested by tEe fact. that with small squads they outranked Pennsylvania, which scored IS points; Dartmouth with H. Michigan with 13; Harvard with II ard Princeton with ten; Bow tloin 5: Syracuse 3: Pennsylvania state two and Massachusetts Institute of Technology 1.
 The victory of the Cornell team was far more impressive than a year ago. when the red and white athletes won by a score of one half point. The field of entrants today was. the best that ever has assembled to compete for l. C.. A. A. A. A. titles. So keen was the struggle for points that two Intercollegiate records and one worlds record were supplanted during the bat ties of speed on the fast Harvard track. Captain J. F. CTed) Meredith of the Pennsylvania team was the individual hero. The famed Olympic National and Intcr:ollegiG te champion closed his track career as a collegian by win ming the 44O yard dash in 47 2-5 sec onds, which is a new worlds record around the turn.
 About one hour later Meredith raced home first in the half mile run, win ring from q sterling group in one min ute 53 seconds. which was 2-5 of a second faster than the intercollegiate record .
 Captain F. s. Murray of Stanford fairly flew over the high hurdles. win ming he 120 yard event in fifteen sec ends flat, thus clipping 1-5 of a second from the former record. Murray was cheered for fully minute and th' Cornell contingent in the stands gav' him the nine "raps" of the Ithaca Uni versity.
 Cornell nearly went into the record breaking class itself for F. K. Floss won the pole vault with F foot inches.
 The real class of the Ithaca runner was demonstrated in the two mil Tin when they took the first fou places.

He ran heady rae taking the leaG from Overton of Yal' after the latter had set the pace fo three quarters of the distance. Wind nagle won by fifteen yards in fou minutes fifteen seconds, within g. of a second of the record.
