PHILADELPHIA. May 2s.--With
- the East's defenses apparently
shattered, Stanford and South
L ern California seemed to have
a fight among themselves to-
day to decide which would have the
distinction of taking intercollegiate

pionship on it's sixth transcontinental
journey in seven years.
The East centered attention on in
dividual laurels in today's Is cham
pionship events at Franklin Field
Experts conceded the fight for team
honors to the two California rivals.
Stanford was the favorite, on the
strength of setting the elimination
pace yesterday, but the Trojans were
determined not to yielo the title they
have held for two successive years
without a struggle. Stanford quail.

Dartmouth, with nine qualifiers,
along with Yale and Penn State, each
qualifying eight men, displayed for:
midable talent, but not enough to
stimulate any championship hopes.
Distribution of other qualifying places
showed Pennsylvania with seven,
Princeton with six, Pittsburgh, Mich
igan State, Harvard and California
WITH ANGs SOTu6ll duu 0tOESctOWI
with four each, Syracuse with three
and the others scattered.
Some FavOrites Fail.
While some of the favorites fell by
the wayside or were forced from COM
petition-such as Hussey of Boston
College in the sprints, Hill of South
ern California in the broad jump, Tai
bot of California, Burgess Of George
town and Spencer of Stanford in the
44O, and Anderson of Cornell in the
shotput-most of the stars survived
the trials safely.
Charley Borah, Southern California
ace, fulfilled promise of a powerful
bid for double victory in the sprints
but faced keen competition from
Miller of Harvard in both the 100
and 220 as we'll as from Alderman of
Michigan State and Paulsen Of Yale
in the furlong.
Remarkably fast quarter.mile per-
formances in the trials held forth
prospects of stirring duel in which
two teammates, Ray Barbuti, Syra-
cuse foot ball captain-elect, and Cecil
Cooke, negro star and champion, fig
ured to share the spotlight.
Bill Cox, rangy Penn State sopho-
more, having been withdrawn from
the 880-yard run, 1oomed as con-
tender for double distance honors in
the mile and two-mile races. He was
a strong favorite in the mile, to be
run first, but with only a 40-minute
rest his chances were considered
doubtful in the 2-mile event against
such men as Benson Of Cornell and
Loucks of Syracuse.
Stanford's high-scoring hopes GEN.
tered chiefly around the burly figure
of Biff Hoffman, contender for both
shot and discus titles; King and Work.
high jumping aces, and West and
Nichols, speedy hurdlers. The Card
inals also had three of the five men
who qualified in the broad jump with
leaps of over "a feet, as we'll as con-
tenders in the javelin, mile run and
pole vault.
Besides Borah, Southern California
pinned it's reliance largely on Lee
Barnes and Jock Williams in the pole
vault, where all six qualifiers cleared
1S feet yesterday; Capt. Ed. House
In the 100, Morton Kaer In the lower
hurdles and Coggeshall in the high
jump.
