Sure to Set Broad Jump
Mark To-day.
Dy DANIEL.

CAABRIDoE. Mass. May 2S.--on the
eve Of tha forty-fitth track and field
championship meeting OF the Intercol-
legiate Association Of Amateur Ath-
letes Of America, which will be held in
the Harvard Stadium tomorrow and
Saturday. experts are divided as to
which college will win the title. Yale.
Dartmouth, California, Pennsylvania.
Cornell. Harvard-ail are conceded
chances. But critics are agreed that
several records ars in danger.
It seems TO be an accepted fact that
tomorrow will see the setting of a new
I. c. A. A. A. A. record for the running
broad junp-possibly a new American
standard for that event Ned Gourdin,
Harvards versatile star. last week ex-
celled the mark of "a feet II inches,
established by AL Kraenzlein OF Penn
sylvania at New York. In the intercol-
legiates OF 1899. In beating Princeton
Gourdin did "a feet 6 inches, and made
a new collegiate record. But an inter
collegiate mark must be made in the
championships-and Gourdin promises to
obligc. He also will go after Meyer
Prinsteins American mark OF "a feet
7A inches.
Not in many years have so many
teams been conceded chances for the
championship. Last year II was agreed
that the fight lay between Penn and
Princeton, and the Quakers beat the
Tigers BY 80 ~ TO 29. Princeton does
not appear TO be among the contenders
this time, but Penn may put another
one over. A great deal depends on the
condition OF Earl Eby. II the little
flier. who went stale IN the meet with
Cornell. has recovered his form Lawson
Robertson's charges will be in the thick
of the fight. Penn men to-day predicted
that Eby would come back strong and
retain at least the half mile title.
Yale's chances are hurt by the report
that Tom Campbell. its leading light, is
not in the Sest of form. Campbell suf-
fered an attack of the grip early in
the week and had to take to his bed for
day. If he is at he should take the
half mile The leading contenders IN
