Many Entries For
 Titu1ar Contests
Competition Back to High Plane With More Than 30 Colleges Interested in Field and
 Track Meet

Philadelphia, May 25-With more than 1000 entries the 44th annual track and field championship games of the Intercollegiate Amateur Ath- letic Association of America will De staged at Franklin Field here on Fri day and Saturday. In many respects the meet will be the most important staged by the association in some years. The performances of the win ming athletes take on added interest due to the proximity of the Ofym- pie games and the college track coach whose pupils succeed in captur- ing the point trophy and champion ship will stand out prominently as candidate for the position of trainer of the American Olympic team which will represent this country at Ant werp-
 The return to normal conditions in college athletics following several years of war activities also brings competition back to the high plane which always marked these t1tular contests. More than 30 colleges and universities are expected to be repre- sented by teams ranging from 10 to 40 individual athletes, including two strong contenders from the Pac1hc coast California and Stanford, with excellent winning records made earlier | in the season, will be the far west ln- vaders but it is not expected that the
 middle western institutions will figure | in the final result of the meet as the | Western Conference games Set for
 June 4-5 are occupying the attention | of the athletes of that section to an
 unusual extent this season. | Close followers of college track ath- | letics are extremely cautious in fore | Ir1@ fo he wi " distributed strength of the material l this year. Cornell, Pennsylvania, | Princeton, Penn. State, Syracuse, Yale | and several other prominent instltu- tions have one or more star per | formers in either track or field events l and the prowess of the invading ath- | letes from the Pacific Coast is fac | tor that must be reckoned with in a,p- | portioning the points which are 1 awarded as follows: First place, 5; 1 second, 4; third. 3; fourth, 2, and | fifth, 1. In case of a tie for any one 1 place the points are divided equally ] among the contenders tying for such l place.
 | Since the initial meet, held in 1876, I Harvard has won the greatest num- | ber of championships the Crimson | total for the past 43 games being 13 l victories Cornell and Yale are tied | for second place with nine victories l each and Pennsylvania is a close third l with eight Cornell has won the last five games the Ithaca univ versity record | running back to the 1914 meet l Owing to the war the title contests l were not held in 1917.
 | Thirty eight colleges have won 1 points at these games since the open l ing contests in 1876, Yale leading l with 767 7-60 points. Harvard comes second with 679; Penn third with 600; Cornell fourth with 513 and
