Columbia Men
In Second Meet.
Outdoors Today
Dartmouth Team to Oppose
Blue and White; Yale
and Harvard Will Clash
By A. G. Cavagnaro

Intercollegiate track and field sports
will boom to-day with scores of dual
meets scheduled, along with three
sectional championship meetings. The
meets will aid the athletes in condi-
tioning themselves for the l. C. A. A.
A. A. outdoor title games scheduled
at Philadelphia two weeks hence. If
track conditions are good there is
every possibility that sensational per-
formances will be returned.
Columbia students will be deeply
interested in the meet with Dart
mouth on South Field The Hanover
squad, with one day of outdoor prac-
tice, gave good account Of itself in
it's defeat at the hands of Pennsylvania
last week. Columbia upset calcula-
tions by forcing Brown to gain it's
winning points last Saturday in the
final event Earl Thomson promises
to earn close to 20 points for Dart
mouth. Charley Shaw's effort in the
half mile will be closely watched.
An Interesting Tussle
Yale and Harvard should have an
interesting tussle in their meeting y
the Cambridge stadium. Both squade
are we'll fortified in track material, so
that the fight for points in the field
events will decide the issue. In this
respect the Crimson holds slight
advantage, which may prove enough
to win.
Pennsylvania and Cornell, which ap-
pear the two outstanding contenders
for the intercollegiate honors, will op-
pose each other on Franklin Field. The
Penn athletes disposed of Dartmouth
last week by 20-point margin. Cor
nell has not engaged in dual competi--
tion outdoors as yet, but 1t showed
an evenly balanced team in winning
a triangular meeting indoors early this
year.
Kurt Mayer, of Cornell the college
440yard and S80-yard champion, Will
be put to severe test when he OPP
poses Earl Eby, the sorrel- topped Penn
runner, in the above named events.
The Navy's string of successes may
be stopped when the Middies oppose
the strong Pittsburgh team at An,
napolis. The service team has downed
several college squads, among them
Syracuse, but faces it's toughest task
in the Panthers. Frank Shet, who is
back in his great form of a few years
ago, will attempt to do the greater
part of the scoring for Pittsburgh II
the field events.
Old Rivals Clash
A sectional title will be at stake
when Colgate and Syracuse meet il
the latter's stadium. Syracuse bowee
to the Navy last Saturday, but the
upstate boys put up good fight
Colgate has several point winner!

certain victor over West Virginia
which is engaging in track and felc
sports in the North for the first tim
in many years.
