HurdIer, Helps Red and Blue,
Says Larry Brown
HARD TO PICK WINNER
BY LARRY BROWN
Captain Of the University Of PennsyIvania
Track Team.


The Penn team. fifteen strong. and
a number of officials left late last night
for the intercolleglates in high spirits
and considerable expectancy. There Is
feeling in the squad that we are
going TO do we'll tomorrow afternoon
and Saturday, but we are not too con-
fident.
We haven't as we'll balanced a team
as some of the others entered, but we
expect to score enough points TO place
us well up with the leaders when the
final tabulation Of points is made. II
We were possessed Of couple of long
distance runners and one or two in the
discus, our chances for victory would be
good.
The following nre in our party {:
George Bronder. Harold Lever. George
Powers. Earl Gill. George Meredith.
Ellsworth McMullen. John Holden.
John Temple. Sidney Needs. Donald
Head. William Martin. Tex Hamcr.
Albert Rose. Fred Chow and Harry
Frank. AL Kraenzlein. who did much
for the track team while the relayists
were abroad. Box Maxam and Sher-
man Landers are also along. George
Orton. who hasn't missed an intercOl-
legiatc meet In two decades, and James
German. r.. r. Bushnell and Billy
Morris complete the party.
VIII Stay in Country
Upon our arrival in Boston We will
proceed to the Ocean House Hotel at
Swampscott. probably one of the most
ideal spots in which to remain around
Boston. The town is fifteen miles out
side Of the Hub on the ocean. where
we will have the benefit Of sea breezes
and n restful atmosphere that is lack
ing in a big city. This is the first
time that we have not stayed in Bos-
ton previous to q meet.
Penn State aud Yale will put up at
the same hotel with us and tomorrow
there will be plenty Of shop talk among
teams has been selected as possible
winner and it will be interesting to
hear what the views of the other two
colleges are in respect to the meet.
might say that the Penn team is
in excellent shape. The training at
Queen Lane on the soft ground did MS
world Of good. We were away
from the hustle and hustle Of Frank
lin Field during that time and had an
excellent opportunity to put in good
workout daily without interference
from any other sport.
Bill Martins Return Helps
The return to form of Bill Martin.
the star of the Freshman track team
last year and one Of the best hurdlers
IN college ranks among the frst-year
men, gives us another man who may
get into the point scoring. Martin
had growth removed from his leg
during the winter, which took off con :
siderable weight. Under the guidance
Of Kraenzlein and Robertson. Martin
worked slowly for month and during
his last workout appeared to have re-
gained his form.
Johnny Holden, who was running
poorly previous ito the Cornell meet Is
back in shape again and will start
along with Meredith McMullen aud
myself in the half-mile run. This
means that the worlds record holding
team for the twO-mile relay will all
be in the same event.
] have been asked BY scores Of stu =
dents and others what my opinion is
as regards the possible winner of the
sters have selected winners that | AN,
in quandary myself. Opinions seem
to center OH the two California teams
but it is my opinion that Cornell,
Princeton. Penn State and Pennsylva :
mia will have lot to say before the
final event Saturday as to whether tho
Californians will capture the champion
ships.
