The Pehnsylvanians had men qualify
in every preliminary event except the
hammer throw, placing two men in
each of the shorter track events and
the now hurdles and putting three men
into the broad jump. In all the Qua
kers placed fifteen in the finals. Mich
gan has twelve and Cornell ten. Har-
ward placed nine men and has a good
miller for tomorrow, so that the Grim
son should be well up, although not in
position to win the met unless there
are many upsets.
Cornell's hurdlers and its half-miler
look good, and if Moakley's distance
men can come through in the finals
the Pennsylvanian5 should win.

six. Rutgers four, Springfield N. l. r.
and Syracuse three each. Pittsburgh,
Bowdoin. Lafayette and Columbia two
each and Maine one.

seven vaulters who cleared II fees

the siX-man rule. and so there will be
