Three Universities Clash
in First Triangular Meet
of Year Here Tomorrow
BY Jack Masters

Athletes from Pennsylvania and
Dartmouth will launch an offensive
against the Columbia track team in
South Field tomorrow afternoon.
Judging from performances at the re-
cent relay carnival at Philadelphia the
struggle for the point trophy will be a
favor Of Pennsylvania.
The events which are expected to
feature the affair are the 100-yard
dash. quarter-mile run, half-mile run
and one and two mile races. The
entries have not been announced for
the visitors, but Lawson Robertson can
be counted ON to bring the pick Of his
charges from Quakertown, and Dart
mouth is sure to prove a winner in the
field events with Earl Thomson and a
few other stars.
Rartells, of Penn, the former pen
tathlon champion, will be opposed in
his various specialties by Burt, Blon-
dell and Lockett, of Columbia, and with
lie Gendre, Of Georgetown, removed az
an obstacle, the Red and Black colors
of the former title holder appear to
hare the call in the jumps, javelin and
weights.
In the sprint race Victor Graeb, Of
Columbia, should have an even chance
with Windsor and Altmaier, of Penn,
and Sheiburne and Sanderson, of Dart
mouth, provided these are the selec-
tions by the out-of-town coaches.
Graeb will be assisted in the defense
Of the Blue and White by Hoagland
and Applebaum.
Larry Brown. Earl Eby and Bob
Maxam. if they start for Penn, will
have no trouble defeating the best that
Columbia and Dartmouthx can offer
from the quarter-nile to the one-mile
Brown is capable of defeating Walter
Higgins, the Columbia phenom, if he is
in first class condition.
Higgins can give twenty yards to-
any collegian in the country and win
over the two-mile trail, and if Walter
starts IN this race tomorrow it is
fairly certain that he will win. He
could have won the two-mile interna-
tional race at Philadelphia last Friday
with yards 60 spare if he had not been
started in the relay, which his team
mates lost despite a 4:193-5 mile by
the Columbia captain.
Frank Titterton, Mohawk A. c., and
Sol Silverstein, Glencoe A. c.. are the
latest to enter the senior metropolitan
cross-country championship, which will
be run over the Van Cortlandt Park
course next Sunday afternoon Joseph
Losgar. who won the junior title re-
Gently, will carry the colors of st. An
selm,s A. G. in the siX~Iniie grind.
Bill Fischer, former catcher for the
Brooklyn Dodgers, writes from Akron.
Ohio, that the Industrial Athletic AS
sociation track and field championships
viii be bigger and better than ever''
this year. Fischer, who is president Of
the association, says that more than
500 athletes will compete and that the
meet will be held this year either at
Pittsburgh or Milwaukee.

 FOR POOLING COTTON

Memphis, April 25.-Plans for pooling and selling on a cooperative basis through a central agency, a large part of the American cotton crop. will be dis cussed at a meeting here tomorrow, which it is stated will be attended by representatives of the industry in all the cotton producing states.
 The conference was called by J. R. Howard, president of the National Farm Bureau federation, to consider the plans offered by Aaron Sapiro, an Oklahoma attorney, for the pooling and selling by the growers comparatively of as large a portion of the crop as possible. This plan which was first proposed at a meeting of cotton growers at Mcntgom- cry, Ala. a year ago. has since been adopted successfully in several states, it is claimed by it's proponents. It is now planned, MT. Sapiro stated tonight, to extend the scheme to sufficient addi- tional states to make the growers CO., operative agency the largest single fac tor dealing in the cotton market, with the ultimate idea of organizing the en- tire cotton belt
 The basis of the plan, MT. Sapiro says,
 is to secure an agreement from the growers to sell their cotton through the cooperative agency for seven consecu- tive years. Efforts will be made at the conference here to secure the co-opera- tion of a number of states in which the plan has not yet been tried out, it was said

Ry AssocIaied Press


 Somerville, N. J., April 25.-Reiterat- ing his denial of having caused the death of his father in Orlando, Fla, for which he is being held on a charge of murder. John R. Bryant declared tonight that he and his father had parted as friends. The body of Bryant's father was found few days ago buried in a lonely spot, with the body of a pet dog beside him. Bryant said he last saw his father the night before he was to leave his father s farm with his wife and ohild. His father took them for an automobile ride and bade them goodbye that night, as he expected to make an early trip from home the next morning and did not ex- pect to see them before they left.
