FAVORED TO WIN
American Athletes Should Take
Seven First Places From
Oxford and Cambridge
ONLY WINN ERS COUNT

track team deTeat tne cOmOlneu oxIoru-
Cambridge team when they meet Satur-
day afternoon up at Cambridge In the
fifth international meet between the
Americans and the Britons? The easy
victory in track in the Olympics scored
by the Americans leads many to believe
that our athletes are far superior to
the men from the British Isles. but
comparison between the teams will show
that the visitors present team is almost
as strong as that of the Yankee cole
gans.
Il. G.. d. Rudd. who won the 400
meters event at Antwerp and third in
| the 500 meters there, Is entered in both
the quarter and half on Saturday,
should win the former. In the latter
event he will have to contend with
Tommy Campbell, who is said to have
returned to, the form he exhibited In
X. NJ. Abrahams, the Cambridge
star and dash champion, is entered in
the 10O-yard dash and the running
broad jump. lie will have his hands
| full in defeating Ned Gourdin, the Har-
vurd colorcd flash. who has turned even
| time for the century and who holds the
! intercollegiate record for the broad
! jump. Rudd may run in the century,
but he does not compare in this event
with either Abrahams or Gourdin.
Remember the Relays
Both II. ID. Stallard, who has been
suffering from n fallen arch, and NJ. A.
McInnes, the Oxford distance runner,
who is said to be recuperating from an
attack of bronchitis. have recovered
| completely and are ready for Saturday =
meet Stallard will be remembered as
Al. 1, 81 g.,
mile Oxford Cambridge relay team
which set up u new record here in 1919.
1t will also be remembered that Stallard
had bad ankle a week before the
relays, but that he ran rs good half
mile as was seen on Franklin Field
that memorable afternoon. There are
tricks in every trade, and it may be
that the Britishers are pulling the sly
stuff that Alfred Shrubb pulled on the
Penn team when here.
The biggest blow to the visitors was
the loss of Trowbridge. tho former
Princeton hurler who, if in form, was
expected to win the hurdle event with :
out fail. Krogness, OF Harvard.
Americas hope, is rated as second
faster than Kent Hughes. of the visit
ing team, although the latter is said
to be speedy in the same kind of com
petition.
Jeppe, who entered the 120-yard
hurdle event in the 1919 relays anC
failed dismally, was able to defeat
Kent Hughes at that time: The latter
may have improved since then and If HI
has Krogness will probably have II rar'
fight on his hands.
Only Firsts Count
Only first places count in the fina
point scoring of the meet. and on tn
strength of this the visitors think tina
they will score their victory. 4 run
ner either wins or loses in England
there aren't any second, third, fOurtl
or fifth places as they are here. !
