Should Provide Some
Exciting Sport.
By CAVE.

New York will conduct its own inter-
collegiate track and field champion
ships when members Of the Middle
States Collegiate Athletic Association
hold their fourth annual title races ct
Ohio Field, New York University, to-
morrow. The entry received for the
meeting this year Is the largest ever
and, judging by the performances OF
the respective competing teams. large
number of records are certain 70 be
broken.
Thirteen colleges, comprising the as
ISOLATION, have entered their full teams.
The heats in q number Of the running
races will be decided in the morning,
az will several field events, as num-
Der of athletes have entered two or
three of these competitions.
After winning the point champion
ship for two successive years and trail
ing Rutgers College for the honors OF
the third by three points, the athletes
of Lafayette College are determined
TO regain their laurels In the van,
encouraging his teammates on 10 VIC
tory, will be Kenneth A. Maxwell, the
best shot putter among the secondary
colleges. In the meeting at Haverford
last year Maxwell won both the shot
put and the 220-yard low hurdles. 1t
is possible that he will also start in
the 120-yard high hurdles tomorrow
and compete in the discus throw, TO
add points TO his team.
Rutgers VIII Fight.

title. but although they are sure TO put
up their hardest fight, the outlook IS
not promising. Their best point gath
erer is expected to be Arthur Nash, the
football player, who performed well IN
the recent Penn pentathlon competl-
ton.
Nash is expected to start In at least
four events. Swarthmore has also made
large entry, as has Lehigh and wash
ington & jefferson. 1t may be that
one of these college combinations may
furnish a surprise.
From the inception OF the champion
ships New York University has had to
be content with a place deep in the
rear of the point tabulation; but the
Violet is sure to be a strong contender
tomorrow.
The University Heights athletes will
pin their hopes on Howard c. Cam, the
brilliant shot putter, in leading his
men to a much higher position; and 1t
appears that the day has arrived where
the local boys will demand watching.
Cam will encounter a stubborn OPP
ponent in Maxwell, Of Lafayette, in the
Shot, and it should be pretty exhibit
ton to watch. Cam will also start in
the discus and the throwing of the 10
pound hammer.
Violet Is Hopeful.
Alvin Lent and s. b. Many, two ex-
ceptionally versatile athletes, also are
expected to gather points for the local
institution. Lent has shown some cred
table performances in the quarter and
half mile distances, while Many's con-
Aueror in the running broad jump VIII
probably have TO establish new rec
ord.
Many will also compete in the 12O-
yard high hurdles, over which route he
has proven a capable performer. K
Mcdowell and d. c. Waugh are also
strong members of the Violet team and
good middle-distance runners. Floyd
ERan is sure TO be at the top in the
running high jump.
Franklin & Marshall. Dickinson, Leb-
anon Valley; Muhlenberg. Stevens lnsti-
tute Of Technology and Gettysburg, the
other contesting teams, have announced
the starting Of their full teams.
Lehigh will have three present cham
pions to depend on-Psul s. Hanway.
in the 44O yards; James NJ. Burke, in
the half mile, and Philip NJ. McGrath,
in the mile. All three men will be at
their best.
Gettysburg will feel greatly the loss
Of Bostock, winner of both the century
and furlong dashes last year, but has
famed David NJ. Hefflefinger, their
only entry, TO repeat the effort Of Bos-
took.
A new champion will be chosen in
the l6-pound hammer contest, as Hun
ter. of Swarthmore, will not BIO on hand
70 defend. His most logical successor
appears to be Maurice Gennert, of Rut-
gers, who gave indications of what he
Is likely to do when he broke the col
lege record for the event in a dual meet
last Saturday.
