BY FRANK WALLACE.

OF feet, tumultuous applause and a
thrill at the finish-a concise des-
cription OF the scene which will be
repeated IL times on Cartier field
Saturday afternoon at o'clock.
when Illinois and Notre Dame. the
two greatest track teams in the west.
clash in a dual meet
The simon-pure track fan who
knows his stuff is taking no
chance OF missing the opportunity
OF seeing some Of the greatest ath-
letes in the world in action. To
those who are little rusty on their
records. the following will give some
/ indication Of the calibre of the men
who are to compete.
In the 100 and 22O yard dashes,
Bill Hayes, former national 100 yard
champion and Olympic star. will run
against an all-star field for Notre
/ Dame.
High Jump Attracts.
In the 22O yard low hurdles. and
possibly in the sprints and quarter
/ mile. Gus Desch. the only man who
broke a worlds record at the Penn
games at Philadelphia last week, will
run against Prescott and Wallace OF
Illinois.
In the 12O yard high hurdles Chet
Wynne, who tied the national rec
ord in the 40 yard high at Chicago
and took second in the 120 at Drake.
Will run for Notre Dame.
The high jump, most spectacular
of the unusual program, will bring
4 II, 4trrv ,eV-Ca
who tied for national honOrs at Penn
last week. Johnny Murphy, Notre
Danes best entrant. is national
champion, while Dewey Alberts is
| conference champion. Osborne
another Illinois jumper. entered the
select circle at Penn and is the dark
horse OF todays contest. With the
class of the competition considered
and the spirit of the occasion added,
a new national record may be ex-
pected.
An interesting sidelight which
makes the high jump the most in
tense event Of the afternoon, VIII be
the attempt Of Johnny Murphy to
return an altogether unexpected de-
feat which Alberts handed the local
star in the N d. gym last February.
IIlinl Runners Good.
The shot put will bring together
Buck Shaw, winner of the event at
the illinois Relays, and Harry Weiss.
who has been on the heels Of Shaw
on several occasions throughout the
year. The work of Flynn, Notre
Dame sophomore shot putter, who
has been progressing steadily under
Shaw's tutelage. will be watched
with interest.

The Notre Dame mile relay team.
Capt. Kasper, Meredith, Montague,
and Desch. took fourth place at
Penn, distancing all western teams
and showing the way to the combin-
ed French team. Illinois won the
Drake mile relay from the local
quartet by the slender margin Of %
OF a second; and the battle between
these speedsters should be the most
thrilling of the day.
Illinois will present, without
doubt, the greatest collection of dis
tance runners in the world under the
banner of one school. The 1llini
won the distance medley and four
mile relay at Penn, and will go into
the meet a 90 point favorite because
