. iNN-' -'l ~ 'f-' . | -A' 'N . '-' If you're looking for safo bet lay your roll. wallet, purse, or what ever you care to call II, on Southcrn California in the eastern intercol- legiate at Harvard stadium May 2S and 2g
 Nothing short Of Q general debaclc can keep the Trojans from leading th'o ftfticth annual procession.
 It will be recalled the far western machine rompcd in ahead of the field in 1925 with B points. 4t2 more than Princeton garnorod, This year I wouldn't he surprised were Cromwell and his boys 10 score 45.
 Southern California has lost but few of i's stars of that great team of last season. II still has Hous"r, Dye and Grumbles, three 1925 champions; also Stcycr, Ross and others, who placed in the classic a' Philly 1 2 months back.
 several Additional stars
 Further. the Trojans will invade the Cambridge enclosure this yea with such additional men Of i'm portance as Lee Barnes, Olympic -vaulting prince; Johnny Par sons and Edgar House, sprintcrs; Kacr and Reynolds, murders. and C'oggcshall. a high jumper with a mark of "6-4.'
 One may be safe in saying Crom- wells team is virtually certain Of five first places-25 points. Houscr should cop both the shot and discus; bye should repeat in the high bar ri"rs and Grumblcs the low, with Barnes lcaping to fame and glory in the pole vault.
 Sever. Reynolds. Parsons, House, Eacr and Coggcshall ought to pick up close to 20 points between them,
 Against this sterling array will be pi-ted the best the eastern sector can muster, plus athletes from two other Pacific coast schools-Stanforl and California.
 A year ago Princeton forced inc Trojans virtually all the way. Thlc season it looks as if either Yale or Cornell will dog whatever puShm there is, which isn't likely 10 be any thing stout enough 10 worry about.
 Yale has an exceptionally formil- able trio in Bayes Norton, Sahm Carr and Pep" Paulsen. Nor,or should place in the dash"s and broad jump; Carr looms as Barnes sol, rival for pole-vaulting honors. while Paulsen bids fair 10 make them all hustle in the 40.
 Cornell has Russell, q really bril-. liant sprintcr Goodwillic and several others capable of giving good ac- counts of themselves, Russell won the 220 last season and will be tough 10 beat.
 Stanford and California
 Penn, fifth in 1925 with - points is basing it's hopes on Ray WolG hurdler Rogers, quartcr-mjIcr; Fay Tor, hammcr-throw"r. and H fairly likely looking group of sophomorcs
 Georgetown which made a re- spcctablc showing last year. has its two alI-round stars. Norton and Plansky but few others 10 give them a hand.
 Columbia's best and only bot Is Joe Campbell, captain and SSo run ner Campbell placed fifth in re- markedly fast half q year ago. He should do better this time.
 Syracuse has little to offer outside Jimmy LouckS two-mlle sensation. and the fellow who tipped tho dope bucket upside down by whipping the great Chapman Of Wisconsin by I5 yards al the recent Pom relays.
 Harvard, once referred to as the "chesty Crimson" but now ueually in the "also-ran" class, has four for midabIe athletes in Tibbrtts, Wat ters, Haggerty and Miller. The first three compete in the SS0, mile and two-mile, while Miller is tho heavyweight spriutcr you've heard so much about lately
 Harvard, far down the list with 12 little points last year, should excel that figure this season, though not apt to get better than fifth.
 Stanford and California; may cause some trouble, though they can hardly be taken seriously
 Stanford has Babcork, Miller and a couple Of other good runners. as well as splendid high jumper in Tom Work California, intcrcol. Iegiate winner in fa21-22-23, will trot out Phil Barber. sprinting acc and Gerkin, weight man, as the big -winklers.
 Of the other schools namely P"nn State Pittsburgh. | Boston College, Dartmouth. and so on, not much need ba said. though | Hussey of Boston College should !
