AS Rllrlrler-Up
Eby and Maxam Enable
Quakers TO BE Near Top:
Yale Team Close Fourth
By Jack Masters

ward aIhIeteSg ScoreQ glorious Vlc'
terry in the Harvard Stadium to-day,
qualifying eleven men for the finals
for the intercollegiate championship OF
America, which will be held tomorrow,
The Crimson stars, led by the bcawny
Ned Gourdin, developed unexpected
strength and beat Pennsylvania and
California by / point, the latter two
teams being tied at tens.
Others qualifying were: Yale, 8;
Penn State, s. Princeton, T., Sanford, z;
Cornell. z; Dartmouth, 5; Syracuse, 8;
Rutgers, 8; Lafayette, 8; Columbia, g:
Massachusetts Tech, 2; Bowdoin.
Brown, Holy Cross, Pittsburgh and
Williams, each.
Earl Eby and Bob Maxam saved the
lay for Lawson Robertson's men. Eby,
the national half-mile champion, who
recently showed signs of having been
cverworked, returned to the track to-
day in superb condition and won his
heats in both the quarter and half
mile runs in dazzling fashion.
Tom Campbell Beaten
The blond champion cooked Tom
Campbell, of Yale, to FRAGILE in the
half after coming from behind with a
sprint such as his rival sprang upon
Eby at Philadelphia few weeks ago.
The Yale man looked weary after his
futile effort to stave off defeat, but
was beaten by four yards, barely saw
ing the place. The time was 1866 2-5.
Bob Maxam triumphed in the 220 and
$40, negotiating the latter distance in
the fast time of 48 3-5, with a four
yard lead over HENDERSON, of Cali
fornia.
1t might be stated here that the men
from the West coast received a great
ovation from the sweltering crowd, and
deservedly SO. The mere handful of
invaders, twelve in number, showed far
more strength than they were rated,
and against the lords of the Eastern
colleges scored only one point less
than the winner.
In addition to Eby and Maxam there
were three other athletes who regis
tered double victories. They were
Herb Meyer, Rutgers, 220 low and 220
high hurdles; Allan Woodring, SYRIA
cuse, 100 and 220 yard dashes, and
Morris Kirksey, 100 and 220 yard
dashes.
Woodring, the Olympic champion,
ran within one-fifth of second of the
intercollegiate mark in winning the
220, and record in this event is not
at all improbable tomorrow, when COM
petition will be keener.
Gourdin Falls Short
Although the stage was set in every
detail for new American record in
the broad jump, Gourdin, Harvard's
negro star. failed in his effort to shat
ter the mark. Not in a long while has
he performed SO poorly, and when he
dad leap within striking distance Of
his goal he invariably fouled.
The Crimson hope in the struggle for
the title was credited with % feet ia
inches when the contest ended, but
that was quite good enough to win.
Gourdin's greatest leap was 2491a,
which would have broken Sol Buffers
figures by more than one inch but for
overstepping the board by a scant inch.
Earl Thomson, the world record
holder, simply breezed over the 220-
yard low hurdles, winning by ten yards
from Massey, of Princeton, in 25 3-5.
The veteran also carried the green
colors to an easy victory in the 1OO-
yard high timber-topping race. Earl
finished looking around"
Not in many years has the national
title struggle been so close, and with
the strength scattered among such
large number of colleges the issue
will be in doubt until the last gun is
fired tomorrow.
opinion that Eby, Maxam and Larry
Brown will turn the trick for the Red
and Blue, and there seems to be much
ground for this hazard. Because of
Campbell's poor race to-day Yale does,
not seem to have chance to finish bet
ter than third
Harvard and California are thought
to have the call on second place. The
slightest upset will change the entire
cif +
sturdy-limbed athletes will fight to the
last in the finals.
