Chicago, June 9.-Now comes the biggest offering on the 1926 college track and field program-the na- tional Intercollegiate jamboree.
 This annual get-togethor, which marks the windup of the collegiate campaign and the last performance of many athletes for their alma mater. will be staged here June Il and 12.
 It's just about the piece de re- sistance of the entire season, bring ing together the cream of the col lege athletic world--from inc east west, south and middle west
 This years affair bids fair to ex- eel any Of it's kind staged in the past. It will be an all-feature clash. Every act will be a star one, as they say in theatrical circles. Southern California and Michigan
 Southern California, twice winner Of the eastern intcrcolIegiates. will trot out the great Houser, the famous Dye, the tlashy Grumbles, and Barnes, Olympic pole vault champion, among others.
 Michigan, two-time winner of the Western Conference title, will send in it's sensational sprinting trio Hester. Kelly and Lcschinsky; the versatile Northrup, Hawkins, Doyle, and so on.
 Roland Locke, the Nebraska Cyclone" will cndcayor to hand up new marks in the 100 and 22O (without any assistance from the wind); Johnny KUck of Kansas State Teachers College will com pete in the shot and discus; Ray Wolf, Penn; Frank Cubcl, Iowa; Chick Werner, Illinois. and George Guthrie, ohio State. are down to clash with Dye and Grumbles ill the hurdles.
 The barrier events, by the way, stand out as big attractions. This is especially true of the lows. where Grumblcs and Cubel are likely to wage bitter battle. Each has been clockcd in close to record time in previous meets this season.
 Wisconsin will bank on it's bril- liant two-miler, Victor Chapman, and on McGinnis. Anson and Irwin, along with Guthrie. will haunt Ohio States colors, while Burg and Cusack are Chicagos best bets.
 Missouri has Richeson. one of the best weight men in the middle west, while from the south will come two North Carolina lumi- naries in Lawrence Watt and Galeu Elliott, Southern Conference cham ptons in 'he low hurdles and mile, respectively.
 Marquette will enter Melvin Shimek. q really great long distance runner, Shimck coppod the two- mile joS at the 1925 Big Ten meet and is running even stronger this season. He should hustle Chap man all the way-aud possibly beat him,
 Thercll be plenty of kcon com petition in the shot and discus. with HouScr. kuck and Lyon the latter representing Illinois, fighting it out, Uouscr anu kuck have both passed tho 5o-toot figure in putting the lcaden pill and it wouldn't be at all surprising were one Of them 10 hang up q new record for the event. The existing mark of 51 feet has withstood all assaults since 1909. IL was established by the late Ralph Rose. d star at Michigan in his college days.
 Norihrup in JaNClin Throw
 Northrup looks like a sure win ncr in the Iaveln. The Wolverine tossed the stick more than 207 feet at the recent Big Ten meet. ColIegians aren't hitting the 200- mark very often these days.
 Barnes, unexpectedly dcfcatod by Sabin Carr of Yale at the l. C. IA carnival, will ondcayor 10 redeem himself here. Barnes, as you know fell down badly at Cam bridge, Carr winning at "I&-2." several notchcs below Barnes best vault.
 The high and broad jumps will he closely contested, as will the middle distance races. No new records are likely in any of these events, however. That is. no
