QuakerS and Princeton Al.
most Euen in Race for
Track Title mes
Start Tomorrow
BY Edwin j. Pollock

MANY are the wise. persons who sit
AVA back and oratc that it's folly to
attempt to pick winners. But there are
lot of foolish persons in this world, as
any bookmaker will assert. What holds
true in horse racing is true in cinder
track racing.
Particularly is it foolish this year to
try to select a team victor in the inter
collegiate track and field championships
at Franklin Field tomorrow and Satur-
day. Four teams. Pennsylvania. Prince
ton. Cornell and Dartmouth, are so
closely punched that the slightest break
may swing the meet.
Penn and Princeton arc as close as
two fingers in the dope race for the title
and Cornell and Dartmouth aren't any
further away than the thumb. The dope
chart you may find interesting. It's a
guess with the aid of dope on past per
formanccs. It's sure to do one thing,
start an argument. According to the
chart Penn will win by two points from
Princeton with Cornell third and Dart
mouth fourth.
Individuals Easier
When it comes to individual winners
the selection is easier and not quite as
foolish. There are thirteen individual
guesScs and one should get a few Of
them right. anyhow.
If there's anything in dope at a IT,.
the surpst winner is Morris KirksCy, the
Leland Stanford sprimtrr. who is cred
tied with Q ID for the hundred and
II A. for the furloug. If he can do
even time in both events he should
win easily.
Frank Shea looks like the best Of tho
uuartcrmilprs. although Earl Eby may
nose out the Panther flash. Shea won
the intcrcollrgiateS in 1918 in ~ 30
seconds but his best this year has been
10 seconds. This time will never win
on Saturday, but it is believed Shea will
60 IS % or IS 3-j
Earl Eby is the big favoritp in the
alf mile, and there ar" some who be-
licvp that he will crack Ted Meredith ;
intercollegiate record of ! .53. but this
is scarcely likely after hard race with
Shea in the quarter. The half is set
for seventy minutes after the four
forty.

Hoover and the League

MIC other man now in public life in Amer
~ lea has given more sympathy and en-
couragement to the irreconcilables" in the
Senate than did Herbert Hoover when the
text OF the letter lie wrote to the President
in Paris protesting against too close al
lance between America and Europe was
made public. Ii is true that Mr.. Hoover
has dsclaimed all responsibility for the
publication of this interesting document,
but he cannot disclaim authorship of it.
In fact he admits that he wrote it and adj
mits that it represents his views generally,
although he has modified them to the ex-
tent that he now feels that America should
be represented on the rcparations commits
sion.
The fact, however. that the peace treaty
has failed of ratification lends interest to
the Hoover communication only as it may
bear upon presidential politics. II the
treaty were still in the balances, and should
be defeated at some future time, 1t might
he possible for Mr.. Hoover to claim that
its defeat was his achievement. But hav-
ing been practically killed before the SEN
ate and the country was aware of his con-
demnaton the most that he can claim is
that he vindicatcd thoee who put it to
death. u
The people Will not fail. however, to
speculate upon the purposes of those who
brought about the publication of the Hoover
that i, was the work of Republican politi-
clans who. desiring the nomination of the
former food administrator on the Rcpub-
lican ticket seized this opportunity TO
widen the breach between Mr.. Hoover and
the Democrats. on the one hand, and to
qualify further Mr.. Hoover as ii Rcpubli-
can on the other.
These politicians have been actively en-
gagged for weeks in an effort to impress Mr..
JTnn Pom 1, 10 mic tho ri, fol
lowing. They have lost no fair opportunity
to give him a genuine G. O. p. brand, and
although the old-line Republican leaders
continue to regard Mr.. Hoover with sim
cere distrust, 1t is apparent that the gen
eral plan of action is to create a popular
sentiment in the Republican party for Mr..
Hoover which cannot be resisted. once the
Republican convention is i'll session.
Nothing could lend itself more surely TO
such Republican design than the publica-
ton. even without Mr.. Hoovers knowledge
or consent. OF Il letter written to tho Presi-
dent in which the Bipartisan" candidate
is placed in the rigid attitude Of opposing
the most vital part of the league of ma
tons covenant. 1t may safely be assumed
that those Republican friends of Mr.
Hoover who caused the letter in question
to be brought to light were far more in
terested in the effect of it upon their can
didates political fortunes than its effect
upon the treaty itself.
Almost every development of the past
few weeks strengthens the conviction that
there is nothing Democratic i'll the make
up of Herbert Hoover, and that he will
accept support for Il presidential nominal
tion on the Democratic ticket only after
he becomes satisfied that he cannot be
named by the Republicans. He cannot
know this until after the Chicago conven-
ton has made its choice.
