RIVAL
Of YALE FOR

Eli Qualities Fourteen Men,

BY ROBERT HARLOW.
International NaHn Service.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May a.
Stanford athletes from California
and those from Yale were the ia
vorites today when the finals were
held in the forty-eighth annual
track and field games Of the inter-
collegiate A. A. A. in Harvard sta
dunn. Princeton and the Univer.
sity of Pennsylvania were conceded
only an outside chance.
The Stanford runners, stood up
exceedingly well under strange
weather conditions in the trials yes
terday when a strong. cold wind
made 1t difficult to unlimber. Stan
ford qualified thirteen men and
Yale fourteen. No trials were held
in the mile and two.mile runs, but
Stanford men placed so well in the
preliminary heats in the other
events that it had been estimated
they win pick up about twenty!nine
points, not counting the mile run.
Stanford has Kerr in the mile and
If he can win at least three points
in this event Stanford should carry
off the title and thus take the
championship to the Pacific coast
for the third consecutive year. Yale
appears strong enough to win thirty
points, so that the going should be
close between the Pacific and East
ern teams.
Stanford supporters estimated
that Campbell and Hale would
place second in the 440. Stanford
half .miIerS were conceded three
points and Leistner looked like win
ming four points in both Of the
hurdles. Hartranf was sure Of first
in the shot put and the Palo Alto
athletes were conceded first and
second in the discus.
If the boys come through on this
schedule it will give Stanford
points with Kerr lef: in
the mile to put the total above the
thirty mark and thirty points is
considered plenty to win.
Yale counts on Norton and
Comins, for seven points in the
sprints and for Gage and Chapman
to take at least five out of the
quarter. Bullard is expected to win
three points in the hurdles and Yale
is counting three for the hammer
and had first in the broad jump
tucked away, owing to the record
leap OF "a feet 5 5-16 inches made
by Comins in the trials yesterday.

Some Players Keep

What becomes of all the old

for instance. Crandall will be

playing with Los Angeles. The

with five hits. The score was

Crandall slammed out a home

Crandall is like a good many
other major leaguers. They re-
tire to the Class AA organiza-
tions and, although few in their
old haunts hear much about
them, they keep right on playing
pretty good ball. The lineup
of some Of the clubs in the
