PhiladeIphia will be entertained extern
siyely in the cinder-path sport this year
but 1t is not all likely that the inter
collegiate title games will come to this
city.
Harvard has put in bid for the an
uual games, and in view of the fact that

Fra Field it is likely that the Of

There will be number of events on
the Penn track calendar ana Lawson
Robertson is on hand every day getting
his protegcs in shape for the indoor
games. The Quallers did not hold one

pected that either Cornell or Dartmouth

spring for Il battle on the cinder pain
with the Red and Blue Murdock Ken
