STANFORD LEADS
 | IN COLLEGE MEET
Plo Alto Tam Ends Qualifying
 Tests by Placing tl Mea

Philadelphia. June i N1The in- |tercollsgiate track and held chaM- pionships came down to the hnals 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 II men in eight events Anl removed all doubt of the remarkable scoring power of the squad from Palo Alto. coached by Robert L. (Dink) Templeton. The Cardinals in spite of an unexpected threat from Penn. and show Of strength ty Southern California, Yale and New York university among others, hal every reason to figure on taking the I. c. A. A. A. championship trophy back west for the third year in row.
 The champion Cardinals exhibited quality as well as quantity. Harlow Rothert broke the only meet record of the opening day when he heaved the Is pound shot fifty feet ] inches bettering the former mark of his teammate. Eric Krenz, by two inches.
 Leo Kirby. Stanford, topped tha field in the javelin with . toss of e04 feet. seven inches. Dyer. rangy sophomore sprinter who qualified for both dashes, shared with Karl Wildermuth, of Georgetown. the best time for the furlons. 2l s-l0 seconds; while Johnny Morrison. Cardinal quarter-miler. reeled of his heat handily in 4s seconds. Although it was known his con- dition was doubtful the elimination of Charley Borah, of Southern Cali fornia in the 220 yard dash, was a shock. This was Borah's last chance to gain I. C. A. A. A. A. honors but an injury jinx has pursued him since his sophomore year. when he won both sprints and set the present meet record of 20 9-10 seconds for the furlong. Last year injuries kept Borah out of the l. c. A. A. A. A. competition entirely. although he la ter made the Olympic team. This spring he was going great guns in the west. three times equalling the worlds record of 3 s-5 for the 100" until he again broke down.
 With Borah out of the lists. the spring faverites were Jimmy Datey of Holy Croas and Pete" Bowen. Pittsburgh flash. in the 100" with Wildermuth. Dyer and Charley EnEle of Yale, as principals in the 200" Ealey. who hopes to follow the footsteps of his teammate, Jim my Quinn. 1928 winner. turned in the fastest trial time. s-10 sec- onds. while Bowen was clocked in @ 9-l0.
 Bowen, oAe of the chief eastern in the quarter-mile. reelinE off the fastest qualifying time. 4s 4-lO as he showed the way to Yale's fav- orite. Engle. The Pittsburgh f1ier is coached by a former quarter-mile champion, Frank Shea, and was the
 marked man in today's 40 final Spectacular east-west duels were expected in the hurdles, with Ross Nichols of Stanford, the defending l20-yard champion. Facing his most serious threat in John Collier. of Brown. Collier ripped of the best trial time, 14 S-10. over the high timbers, while Nicholas was being beaten by Mccoy of Pennsylvania. Over the 220-yard low barriers, Tupper of Harvard; Kielselhorst. the 1928 champion. and Cunningham, both of Yale. were arrayed against Ernest and Jimmy Payne, Southern California; star entries.
 Tho half-mile, on the basis of the trials. appeared likely to be a New York university affair, with Phil Ed wards, the dusky defending cham pion. battling his teaw-ate. Fred
 Veitt. Yesterday. Niett won his heat in 1851 6-10 while Edwards was taking it easy at 1858 9-l0.
