third with 20, has only the three points
that Leroy Browns third in the high

dual meet with California just as he did
In last years intercollegiate 220. will
wear the Stanford colors again. He won
the Pacific A. A. u. furlong title since
his slip-up and undoubtedly will be ir
form again. AL LeConey, the Lafayette
sprinter. who finished second in both
dashes. Is on hand again. and looks for
better luck. Allan Woodring, third in the
century and winner of the 220, is wear
ing the Syracuse colors again, and there
ts possibility that he will tie the world S
record OF 81 1-5 seconds for the furlong.
Bob Hutchinson of California, who
placed in both sprints. will run again,
but unless he is an improved sprinter
may find the company much too good
for him this spring. Boots Lever, fNth
in the hundred. Is the Pennsylvania en-
try again. Lovejoy of Cornell. McKim
of Princeton, Rusnak Feldman of Yale
are other dangerous dash men.
In the quarter Oxie Hendrixson. two
time winner of the event. is entered
again and headed for stiff opposition.
Capt. Bill Stevenson, Princetons fast
leader, who finished third, and Ray of
Rutgers, next man, are entered again.
Larry Brown, the clever Pennsylvania
leader, who finished second in last year 8
mile. Blink Williamson of Stanford. who
has taken Oxies measure a couple OF
times this season. Monte of Syracuse.
Capt. Driscoll of Boston College and Gil
Chapman of Yale are likely contenders
for points. Driscoll may spring a sur
prise and win the event. Carl John OF
Cornell Is another likely looking entrant.
In the half mile Cook of Cornell. who
finished fifth last year. Is the only man
eligible to run again. Larry Brown has
a good chance to win the event and
Billie Burke. the Harvard runner. since
he defeated Tom Campbell of Yale, after
running a fast mile. is a man 10 be
feared. The Eli youth is not out OF 1t
by any means. and Johnson of Prince
ton. who trimmed Campbell, is worthy
also of consideration. Brown has done

ConnelIy's Mile Best.
Jimmie Connolly, the Georgetown run
ner won the mile last year in minis.
Ills secs. better time than has bee
done this spring so far. Brown Is not
running the mile now. but Dannie Strick-
ler of Cornell and Bob Crawford OF La
fayette fourth and fifth last year. are
entered again. Larry Shields. the Penn
State athlete, who won in 1920. and also
took the intercollegiate indoor mile last
winter must be reckoned with. Cornell
with Kirby, Harper and Stricken. looks
strong here.
In the two mile Bob Brown OF Cornell
last years winner. and his teammate
Norman Brown. who beat him Saturday
In the dual meet with Pennsylvania, are
entered again. Dorr of California, who
finished third. is still eligible. Hiles
and Wander Pyl of Yale. Buker OF Bates
Iund of Harvard. Head of Pennsylvania,
Curtis Of Princeton and Fasce OF Will
iams are other strong competitors.
There are several specialists among
the entrants. Glenn Hartranft OF Stan
ford. Bob Legendre Of Georgetown and
s. Harrison Thomson OF Princeton arc
tho most notable. Hartranft sprints
iumps and throws weights, and IL "
form should easily win the shot put as
he pushes the weight close to nifty feet

Lane Falk of Stanford, second, and
Never of Rutgers fourth. are the mer
hack in the low hurdles. and there are
none of last years place men left In the
high. Falk has done this year 10 81
for the 100 yard barriers and "a 3-s
for the 220 yard sticks. Powers oi

worth looking over. He won double
events I'm both the Dartmouth and Cor.
nell meets Thomson OF Princeton
whitney OF Harvard. Henderson OF Call.
6rnia Taylor and Massey, also o.

Brick Muller of California, who wa:
tied with Landon Of Yale at s feet 3H
