EARL EBY PROVES STAR
By DANIEL.


track and field which ushered In the
forty-ffth annual championship meet
ing or the intercollegiate Association OF
Amateur Athletes of America IN the
Harvard Stadium this afternoon. the
team accomplishments of Harvard. |
PENNSYLVANIA. California and Yale. and
the individual scintillation OF Earl Eoy.
the Penn fiier and Allan Woodring. the
Syracuse sprinter. stood out with marked
vividness.
1t was Eby who, through his sue
cesses in the $50 and 40 yard runs.
gave the battle for the championship +
new complexion and made Pennsylvania
q favorite for the title. Harvard LED /
the field in qualifying men for the semi |
finals and finals Of tomorrow with
eleven athletes. But Pennsylvania. with
ten. must be regarded as far more seri-
Gus contenders. So must California. +
which came here with well balanced
aggregation and qualified ten men. and |
Yale, which took fourth place with nine |
and appears to have an excellent chance. |
Ninety-two athletes qualified in eleven |
events heats and trials being held in |
all competitions except the one and two
mile runs. Nineteen colleges were rep |
resented among the successful aspirants. |
a scattering OF the preliminary laurels
which is unprecedented and forecasts
one Of the hottest fights in the history of
the intercollegiates. AS we see the
dope" Pennsylvania should win. with
Yale fighting 1t out with California for
second place and the chances apparently
favoring the Blue.
Princeton Out of 1t.
Princeton. which put up so gallant
- o. ~
was beaten by Pennsylvania by only a |
point and half. most certainly is out
OF the contest for the 1921 title. Like
Cornell it qualified seven men, but the
chances of the Ithacans are far more !
impressive. as they may provide the win- |
ner of the mile in the person of c. G. |
Irish as well as the winner of the two
mile, for which " P. Brown, winner OF
1920. again is favored.
Though few records were threatened
under weather conditions which were
ideal and on a track which was light
ming fast. no new marks were set. |
Woodrlng gave the mark for the 220
yard dash quite scare when he came |
home In 2l 2-5 seconds as against the |
standard Of q 1-5 seconds, and let 1t be
said that when the Syracuse hier meets !
sterner opposition tomorrow he may
put a brand new record on the books !
Coming in the wake of his 10 seconds in
the 100 yard dash. Woodring's fast fur
fUrg was something of startling SEN
sation.
Ely Comes Back.
But while Woodring made the old
stadium ring with his praises. IL was
Eby who was the provider of the major
feature. 1t was the flaring return of
this champion of 1920 and olympic star
after he had been relegated to the near
contenders which made critics sit up and
take notice and revamp their dope" for
the title fight. Several weeks ago Eby
was beaten In the dual meet with Cor
nell. He was beaten again in the Penn
Dartmouth-C Columbia meet He had gone
stale.
There did not seem to be chance
OF his recovering his form In time to put
Penn into the scramble for the team
honors. which IL had won last May. But
to-day II was the Eby of other DAYS who
flashed to the fore i'm remarkable style.
won his heat In the 440 yard run In the
corking time of 40 3-5 seconds. after
running $50 yards in 1 :56 3-5. Not
record performances these, but a mighty
Impressive pair. and presagers of even
better deeds to come tomorrow.
Eby not only won his heat Of the
half mile. but he beat Tom Campbell.
leading hope of Yale. and now the ELS
are dubious about their team chances
and those Of Campbell. too. For to-
morrow the star Of the Blue will have to 1
meet Eby again. and we are sure that
It will be an even faster Eby.
