Records Shattered.
Records in all intercollegiate
held this spring have been shattered
and when these athletes clash next
Saturday in the finals something is
bound to happen. The field OF star
performers is larger than any OF
recent years and performances have
improved with every meet. Marks
which have stood attacks Of athletes
for the last decade have been broken
while others have escaped by the
narrowcst of margins.
In the l00-yard dash, two fliers
who established a new national in
tercollegiate record of :O97-l0 for
100 yards will meet in their special
ty. Bill Hayes of Notre Dame
stepped the century in this record
breaking time in the Western con-
ference games while J. A. Leconey
of Lafayette did the same thing in
the eastern intercollegiate. In addi-
. ton to this pair of great sprinters
there will be several other dash men
of the under l0-second variety in the
event.
Leonard Paulu Of Grinnell, who
won the 220-yard dash in the Big
Ten meet in conference record time
of :23 as will hook up with Leconey
in the furlong. The Lafayette flier
took the event in the eastern inter-
collegiate in III $40, a little faster
than Paulu won his race in the mid
die west games.
Two Sectional Winners Meet.
Two sectional winners will be
brought together in the quarter-mile
and a great race should result. Arth-
ur Wolters Of Ames, who won the
Big Ten race in the exceptionally
fast time of :48, will meet J. w. Dris-
coll of Boston college, winner of the
eastern race in :49 IL. In addition
to Driscoll, HENDERSON Of California
who finished third in the Harvard
stadium, will be a certain starter.
Wolters, who was double first
place winner in the big ten meet.
will run against Larry Brown OF
PENNSYLVANIA, winner of the halt
mile in the east. Wolters won his
race in l:55 and Brown was victor in
1:55 is. Higgins of Ames and Yates
of Illinois will be other certain start
ers in the event.
NJ. L. Shields of Penn State. who
took the mile in the cast in 4:l8 rs.
and B. B. Patterson of Illinois, who
breasted the tape in the middle west
mile in Az, should engage in an in
teresting contest together with stars
from other sections of the country.
1t will take some feet running to
beat Lloyd Rathbun of Ames out of
first place in the two mile run. The
Hawkeye took the event in the west
ern conference games in 9:27 after
great race with R. F. Wharton of
Illinois, who will be sure starter.
w. Higgins of Columbia was victor
in the event at Cambridge in 9:28 is
and may be a starter next Saturday.
Knollin a Contender.
A. J. Knollin of Wisconsin. who
won the l20-yard high hurdles after
an interesting race with K. w. An
derson of Minnesota in the western
conference meet, will be a strong
contender for honors next Saturday.
He topped the timbers in rs, WHICH
was three-tenths Of a second faster
than 6. r. Hauers of Harvard, who
won the event in the east.
c. R. Brookins of Iowa, winner of
the 220-yard low hurdles at Iowa
City, will be a sure starter along
with Gus Desch of Notre Dame, who
was practically left at the mark in
the final of the event in the big ten
games. Brookins won his final in
:23 As, while the time made by ]. c.
Taylor of Princeton in the same
event in the east was :23 o-l0.
The field events should bring
about some great performances. R.

Cambridge with a leap of 23 feet
7 Is inches, will be a sure starter.
He will be pitttd against Harold
Osborne of Illinois, Sundt of Wis
