eowdoin q surprise
Although williams and Brown, with
ten men each still in competition
were we'll up in the standing. and
Bowdoin with nine Unexpectedly
strong 1t was agreed among the COL
lege coaches that the title lay be-
tween the wearers of the golden eagle
and those of the big T.
Times Generally Slow
Individual performances did not
approach records in any event. large
ly due to a stiff wind which troubled
athletes on both track and field. But
the quarter-mile run Of Captain Jake
Driscoll OF Boston College was a mas
terIy effort and. in 81 seconds, asst
one considering the strength of the
wind. Driscoll also qualified for the
220-yard dash. Irving F. Cook of
Wesleyan, hurdling against the same
handicap, won his heat in the 100
yards high timbered event in 16 Sec
onds. which like Driscolls effort was
a record for the track and also fifth
OF a second faster than the cham
pion's time last year.
Middlebury Men Stars
For individual effort. however. that
OF Z. Locke Robinson Of Middlebury
covered the largest number Of events.
He qualified in four Until almost
the close of the days competition,
Middlebury's track team was a one
man affair. Charts showed that Mid
dlebury had advanced four men, and
details showed that f. Locke Robin
son was all four. A winner of his
heats in the high hurdles, and in the
low hurdles. he qualified also with a
second place in the 100-yard dash
trials and with one of the six bout
performances in the high jump. He
was entered in several other events,
hut found himself unable to make
connections for any more.
Both Massachusetts Institute of
Te&Ology and Boston college lost
prospective points to Williams, and
Bowdoin during day and will win to-
morrow. IL one OF them does, by a
point total that will be the smallest
probably in years.
AS trials were held today in all
events, but the mile and two mile
Guns, and with Boston college likely
10 gain most through It's entrants in
