BY WALTER EcKERSALL-
As a result of the sectional intercol
legiate track and field meets, the last
OF which vas held yesterday at Ann
Arbor, winners OF the various events
will meet in Chicago June is Ind 16
in the National collegiate games on
StagK field to determine national In
tsrcollegiate individual supremacy.
Unlike sectional conference meets,
there Will be 10 trophy for the team
scoring the highest number of points
The sole PURPOSE of the national cole
Hiate games Is to determine the best
collegiate performers in the country
in their respective events For years
the eastern intercollegiate has been
looked upon as the banner set OF COL
eEs games in the country.
With the coming of the national In
tercollegfate, however, h eastern
meet has lost n lot OF its Importance
with the result most OF Its e per-
formers viii be seen IN action on Stage
neld on June is and 16. The east can
no longer boast OF track and field su-
premacy. In the last three years. Uni
verzity Of California, coached by Wal
tar Christie, has won the eastern meet,
an accomplishment of which the Bears
might wei feel proud.
Eastern Athletes WIN Be Busy.
Performances registered in the east.
ern intercollegiate held at Philadelphia
were no better than those made In
other parts of the country and plainly
indicate the far east may experience
some trouble in winning its share Of
the contests. While It is true Califor-
MIA won but one first in the far east,
Coach Christie had enough team bal
ance to score heavily In the field events
by winning second. third and fourth
places. Whether his performers are
strong enough TO win their quota of
first places in the national remains to
be seen, as the Bears will receive stiff
competition from athletes in the west
ern and Missouri Valley conferences.
In the eastern meet the 100 yard
dash was won by Lever of P~ennsylva-
MIA IN .09 $40. Erwin of Kansas AS
gies took the same event in the Mis-
souri Valley games in :o9 $40. lyle
of Purdue. Ayres and Evans of I'LL
nois and Spetz of Wisconsin are ex-
pected to better his time. The furlong
went to Lovejoy of Cornell in the east
en set OF games in FL As and Erwin
OF Kansas Aggies took the C in the
valley meet in 81 $40. This time
should be bettered by Evans and Ayres
OF Illinois and lyle of Purdue
Syracuse Has Star.
The quarter mile went to WoodrinE
Of Syracuse in the eastern event in
rs rs and to Bier OF Washington in
the Missouri Valley in 40 $40. Wilson
of Iowa INT Sweet of Illinois ave
made better time on several occasions
this year. Reinke Of Michigan is ex-
pected to come close to the time of
1855 $40 made by Hellfrich of Penn
State In the eastern meet and 1:56 Clio
made by Gardener of Nebraska in the
Valley meet held at Ames.
Kirby Of Cornell should take the mile
II he attends tho Chicago meet. He
won the event in the east In 417 4-5.
which In better than any college miller
in the middle west can do. Booth OF
Johns Hopkins won the two mile run
at Philadelphia in 1886 $40. which
should be bettered by Isbell of Michi-
gan. There is little to choose between
the high hurdles OF the various sec
tons. None have topped h 12o yard
barriers In better than. rs Is and this
event is anybody's race
Brookins of Iowa should take tho
go yard low hurdles as his time is
much better thar that made by eastern
n Missouri Valley conference hurd-
lers. The Hawkeye is credited with
20 for the event which Is a worlds
record II accepted. Taylor of Prince
ton took the event in the east in
:23 $40 and Riley OF Kansas Aggies
was winner in the Missouri Valley con-
ference in "a 2-1o.
Hills of Princeton Fayorite.
Hills Of Princeton should take the
shot put II he comes to Chicago. his
mark of At feet. So inches Is much
better than any other college nan in
the country has done. The same is
true of Tootell of Bowdoin in the ham
mer who has a mark OF 1S1 feet, 81
inches. Lcb Of Notre Dame and Platt
of the University OF Washington hav
better marks than those established in
either the eastern or Missouri Valley
meets. Both will be at the Chicago
games
The tavelin throw should result in
an interesting contest between Angler
of Illinois and Storrs OF Yale IL the
latter completes. Storrs threw the
spear 1873 feet, 1 inch In tho eastern
meet while Angler nolds the nauonol
record OF over 200 feet in the event.
The pole vault will result In some IN
teresting competition and some vaulter

of California and owen OK Pennsyl-
wanna tied In the eastern meet at IL

heights.
