Cornelrs stock. which leaped upward
yesterday when It became known that
Erdman Of Princeton was down with
tonsilitis and would be unable to COM
pete in either of the hurdle races. thus
making 1t probable that Cornell would
finish one and two in the two events,

Pittsburg, top heavy favorite for the
quarter mile event. had pulled a tendon
warming up and would net be able to

ture the team laurels. After the finals
in the 100 yard dash johnson Of Michi-
gan became III and could not start in
the 220 hurdles. in which event he was
an even favorite with Smith of Cornell.
That made Cornelrs chances all the
more rosy.
The Ithacans did all and more than
was expected OF them In both the hurdle
events and the double furlong run. Smith
and Watts OF Cornell finished first and
second In the 40 yard high hurdles and

stoutheartedness that stamped them
worthy OF the breaks that favored
them.
Pennsylvania made a great fight in
the face OF the breaks that favored the
rival Comedians. Lawson Robertson 8

finished only ten points in the wake of
the Ithacana The point results bore
out the advance predictions of the ex.
