Unique in their speed, even In an
age where organized haste Is com

collaborate in one Of the great
sprint races Of the year this after
noon, and before the dust from
their flying feet has settled again,
the games record for the 100,
Q 7-l0, is liable to be wiped out
like a repudiated debt. If every
thing speaks perfectly, one OF
them might even touch Tolan's
world record OF Q $40. AS a mat
ter of fact, it is possible that they
might do more than touch 1t; they
might knock 1t right over.
This Trinity of speed will occupy
the feature spot" in the billing at
the championship games OF the
intercollegiate A. A. A. A., con-
Quoted annually for the benefit OF
the state of California. For eight
of the last nine years a Coast uni
versity has won the team title, and
today the ratio will go to nine out
Of ten. Southern California could
lose the meet; but 1t probably
won't. Even SO, the East has only
the beggar's choice. If U. s. C..
doesn't win, Stanford will.
Wykoff, TOlan and Dyer will
60 to the scratch in the lOO-
yard final, with Mauref,
Southern California; Kastler,
Pennsylvania, and GibefSOn,
Stanford, but the real pace, Of
course, rests with the agile feet
of the big three.
They faced a track that was as
fast as dance floor and IL the
wind is neither too favorable, thus
spelling a record, not too unfavOr
able, thus preventing one, the
8 $40 mark Inightn't have long to
live. Wykoff already is credited
with 9 2-5 and yesterday he was
looking at the scenery as he did
9 ITO to equal the meet record in
one of the heats. Tolan and Mau-
rer each did 9 $40 but the latter
shouldn't figure, after what Tolan
did to him in the sefni-finalS.
It ought to be Wykoff's race and
record, for he is at least two yards
faster than he showed yesterday
The weather is liable to be more
favorable too, which means that
Rothert may add inches to his
American record Of So feet "a inch
in the shot put, made during yes
terday'S chill. It also means that
Churchill, of California, and
KrenZ, the other Stanford weight
man, will have another and prob
able better fling at their 24-hour
records in the javelin throw and
shot put respectively. The former
did 207 feet 8Ia inches with the
stick; Krenz did 1853 feet 8 inches
with the saucer, for a record that
was diScountenanced by the wind
II the latter eases off a bit, he is
liable to go out today and do 1t
all over again.
Either Van OSdel or Stewart,
the Southern California pair, may
take the meet record in the nign
jump, but, as to that, Dean Crom
we'll will file no demurrer If they
do no more than place or1e-two.
A lot depends on this pair as far
as the Trojans' championship
schedule Is concerned.
Stanford is practically sure
Of its points, since the per
fOrmance Of ROthert ana
Krenz have something In
common with D punch on
the nose. Once It is in, you
can't take it back. Nearly
all Of the trojan point mile
age is yet to be run up.
Meanwhile, the East will be
seeing what it can do about a
few individual victors in its own
track meet. Bullwinkle Of c,
c. N. Y, Chapman, of Bates and
Dave Cobb of Harvard, ought to
turn on a great half mile, but
the record is safe. A mark like
1852 is is safe almost anywhere
except among a herd Of ante.
lopes. Somebody may do 1853, at
that, with Chapman the most
plausible choice.
This Bullwinkle will show a
lot Of early leg and may be as
much as 10 years on top at
the quarter. after which it will
be up to Chapman and Cobb to
run him down. Maybe they
won't.
The quarter should be a good
spot for Charley Engle, of Yale,
who may do 48 seconds and
much the same goes for Nc
Kniff Of Pennsylvania in the
mile. However, he will have to
run over Hickey Of N. Y. u, and
Hallowell of Harvard and this
isn't being done seven days a
week. Rekers of Penn State
ought to cake-walk in the two
mile.
