(AssOctated Press Sports EditOr)
Philadelphia, June 1.-LRD-Thc
intercollegiate track and field cham
pionships came down to the finals
today with the size of Stanford's
point total, rather than any question
of Cardinal victory, as the main
team issue.
Stanford emerged at the top Of
the qualifying heap yesterday by
placing IA men in eight events and
removed all doubt Of the remarkable
scoring powers of the squad from
Palo Alto, coached by Robert L.
(Dink) Tcmplcton. The Cardinals,
in spite Of an unexpected threat
from Pennsylvania and q show of
strength by southern California,
Yale and New York University,
among others, had every reason to
figure on taking l. c. A. A. A. A.
championship trophy back west for
the third year in a row.
Quality and Quantity
The champion Cardinals exhibited
quality as we'll as quantity. Harlow
Rothert broke the only meet record
of the opening day when he hcavcd
the 16-pound shot SO feet 5 inches,
lettering the former mark Of his
team-mate, Eric Krenz, by two
inches. Krenz qualified in the shot
put on his last throw but led the
discus qualifiers in defense Of his
other title with a throw of 148 feet,
8 3-S inches.
A third Stanford star, Leo Kibby,
topped the field in the ~javelin with
q toss of 204 feet, z inches. "Heo"
Dyer, rangy sophomore Splinter,
who qualified for both dashes,
shared with Karl Nildermuth, Of
Georgetown, the best time for the
furlong, 81 $40 seconds, while
Johnny Morrison, Cardinal quarter
miller, reeled off his heat handily in
40 seconds.
The elimination Of Charley Borah,
OF southern California, in the 900
yard dash was a shock. This was
Borah's last chance to gain /. C. A.
a. A. A. honors but an injury ink
has pursued him since his sophomore
year, when he won both spirits and
set the present meet record Of 20
9-1O seconds for the furlong.
With Borah out 70 the lists. the
sprint favorites were Jimmy Daley
Of Holy Cross and Pete Bowen. Pitts
burgh flash, in the 100, with Wilder
muth, Dyer and Charley Engle, Of
Yale, as principals in the 22O. Daley,
who hopes to follow the footsteps Of
his team mate, Jimmy Quinn, 1925
winner, turned in the fastest time,
8 $40 seconds, while Bowen was
clicked in 9 $40.
Bowen Runs Quarter
Bowen, one of the chief eastern
hopes for track honors, also starred
ir the quarter-mile, reelinr off the
fastest time, 48 4-1O as he showed
the way to Yale's favoritc, Engle.
The Pittsburgh flier is coached BY a
I ormer q~uarter-mile champion.
Frank Shea, and was the marked
MAJ in today's 44O final.
Spectacular east-wcst ducls were
expected in the hurdles, with Ross
Nichols of Stanford, the defending
l2O-yard champion, facing his most
serious threat in John Collier. Of
Brown. Over the 22O-yard low bar
riers, Topper. Of Harvard: Kiesel-
horst. the 1928 champion, and Cum
bingham, both Of Yale, were arrayed
against Ernest and Jimmy Payne,
southern CALIFORNIA; star entries.
The half-mile, on the basis of the
trials, appeared likely to be q New
York University affair, with Phil
Edwards, the dusky defending cham
pEllon, battling his team-matc, Fred
