Last year Walter .Christie's trained
Bears won chief honors in the Sta
dunn by half a point over Harvard.
but this time it wasn't even close.
Scoring 4O1a points. nine and one
half more than Princeton. its near
est rival. the California team had q
much wider margin at the close of
bang-up set Of games than even
its fondest admirers had hoped.
Strange to relate. 3I1a of its total
was gathered in the field contests.
The Golden Gate stars collected only
five points in the track contests and
what really gave the visitors the
edge over Princeton's lighting group
was the California tally in the two
new contests, the discus and jave-
lin battles.
Stanfords rs 1-2 Is Five Ahead Of
Corneil's Total
Olympic events. added to tie in
tercolegiate program for this meet
ing, the discus throw and iavelin
settled the issue. California scored
II points in these two events alone,
whereas Princeton went scoreless.
Had the games been conducted I'M
der the old program Princeton's to-
tai would have given it the crown.
But that is only in passing and
ought to be a lesson to the folks
in the East. California won its
honors because it had the stuff and
no one can take one whit of the
glory from the coast fighters. Prince
tons 31-point tally edged the I.e-
land Stanford collection of 2iR
points. Cornel's II 4 was rather
less than expected, because of the
failure of the Browns to produce in
the two-mile contest. Pennsylva-
MIA. with two first place winners. had
16 marks at the close, two more
than Harvard.
Wind Robs Leconey Of Record
Larry Shields did the big work in
bringing Penn States total to II. Al
LeConeys double victory in the
dashes gave Lafayette the next place
with 10 points, Yale scored S12
and is quite proud of its Malcolm
Douglas. while a pair Of Columh ia
two milers gave the New Workers
an unexpected eight points.
Dartmouth. furnishing record
breaker, was next in line with az
points, just y point more than
Boston College sported George
town had t. Bates and Rutgers
each. Bowdoin and Syracuse collect
ed a pair. while New York Cniveisi-
ty had one point for its efforts.
Brown. Colby, Colgate, Haverford.

Tech. Pittsburgh. Swathmore and
Williams were unable to score.
Wiry Leroy Brown, the Dartmouth
leader, Joined Jack Merchant or
California among the record break
ers. To be exact. one might add
the name of AL I.eConey to the Sc
lect list, for the Lafayette sprinier
ran through the final heat or the
1OO-yard race in 9 40 seconds. one
tenth of a second better than fcr-
ME Wefers showed in the interco'-
legiate games Of 1896. Owing TO the
wind that was travelling behind the
runners. it is doubtful il the marx
IeConey chalked up will stand as
a record. The little fellow was
grand and a double winner and II
is a shame his work has to go I'M
rewarded by new record.
Leroy Browns Record Lift
There was no doubt about Browns
record in the running high Jump, nor
the mark that Merchant made In the
hammer. Brown cleared feet a-s
irches during the regular competition
Yesterday, IS OF an inch better than
Wesley Oler, the former Yale star
showed in the intercollegiate games
OF 1915 at Philadelphia. Brown tried
to add to the mark when the bar was
pushed an inch higher. but his prev
ious efforts had taken too much from
him. He ought TO be well content
to close his athletic career, for in the
past half year he has won two inter-
collegiate crowns and has broken two
records.
Merchant could not better the Ill
foot, 2-inch mark he registered Fri
day in the hammer throw, but it will
be many a day before his record will
be bettered. Fiske Brown, the Har-
ward leader, climbed bit on his trial
day performance. was runner-up IN
this hammer with a toss OF 159 feet,

been bettered by only four of the
"A previous winners.
Two marks were established. Glenn
Hartranft, the blond giant from Stan
ford, set up a discus record of $40
feet g inch. and George Bronder,
the Penn weight star. got the jave-
lin out 1876 feet, 8 5-s inches. Both
marks will be on the books for
few years, az right now the under
graduate performers are far from the
stage where they can threaten.
