Today the Athletics will try to show

MEREDITH PREDICTS VICTORY
FOR PENN'S MILE RELAY

smashed yesterday by Carter, of Illinois,
with Ivory, of Pennsylvania. just one.
quarter of an inch behind. This, too. is
new event for the college men, and the
performance was good considering how
little time they give to it. This is the
only collegiate meet in which they will
strike this event.
Mccormick, of Cornell. sprang sur
prise in the hammer and won easily. His
throw of 150 feet inches was far be-
yond any of his competitors. The closest
man to him was Roberts, of Harvard,
who threw 136 feet u inch.
Mathews Penn's weight man, was big
disappointment. He could not hold his
form and fouled twice while his other two
throws were far below his work prac.
tice.
The schoolboy relays proved very ex-
citing. Friends Central sprang a sur
prise on Penn Charter and Episcopal and
just beat them out for the interacademic
championship.
Todays meet will prove far more inter
esting than yesterdays, for today the
three big intercollegiate relay champion
ships of America will be decided Every
college which has n team of any ability
at all will be sure to appear and try for
this title ~
Cornell is here ready for the four.mile
race, and think will win this event.
Yale is my pick for the two-mile race
and ourselves for the one-mile title.
1t is undecided whether Berry will run
on our two-mile team or not. Coach Roy
Thomas of the baseball team. wants to
take him to New Haven to play against
Yale. and we want him to run, so there is
n deadlock. Should Berry run, we will have
a good twoS ,ile team. but without him we
stand a pocf chance.
The shot-put will come off today, and
Mucks, the big Wisconsin star is here
for this. He should win without much
trouble, but will find Maxfied, of Lafay-
ette, and Spears, of Dartmouth, two good
men.
The prep school championship will be
a good race today. Mercersburg has a
team capable of doing 1928. Exeter has
a good team entered, and St.Albans School,
with Brewer running last, should show a
fast mile
Everything points to good day. and If
the weather is clear good times are sure
TO be hung up. The track yesterday, in
spite of all the rain this last week, was
in fine shape, and it promises to be much
better this afternoon.

day Boston has had all year.

base-runhng cost the club a chance to
leave home with a considerable lead over
