IN TRIALS
TODAY
BY DAVIS J. WALSH

Meet records and even worlds
records were expected to come
tumbling down like so many
humpty dumpties off the wall,
while the greatest championship
meeting the intercollegiate A. A.
A. A. ever has known proceeds to
it's dramatic denouement this aft
ernoon and tomorrow.
Three of the great sprinters Of
the age-Eddie Tolan (Michigan),
official designatee of the world
record, 95-10 seconds; Frank wy
koff (Southern California;, re-
Gently credited with 9 2-5, and Hec
Dyer (StanforO, who beat him in
3-5-will have at it in the cen
tury dash, and the old record.
ITO, seems fated to go. Indeed,
world record time isn't impossible
here; it isn't even improbable.
WykOff probably won't so
to the post in the furlOng, but
the games mark, 20 $40, is
far from safe in the hands
and under the feet of a pair

They, of course, will need fair
weather and a fast track. They
already have the latter and may
get the former and, by a similar
token, Rothert and Krenz, Of
Stanford will overhaul their own
records in the weights, if the
sun turns warm any time be.
fore tomorrow night. Rothert's
so feet 3 inches in the shot put
is almost certain to go. He might
even beat the worlds record. AS
for Krenz, the worlds standards
tremble in the balance every
time he takes a discus in his
hand.
There may be new time also
in the low hurdles and new
7 figures in the high jump and
javelin throw before they call 1t
a track meet late tomorrow.
Thirty-four college teams, in
cluding those of Southern Cali.
fornia, Sta nf ord, California,
Michigan and Michigan State,
were on the ground this morning,
ready to do or die for dear old
somebody. It looks like die"
for all concerned, except South
ern California, which ought to
win this meet without taking it's
mind off, the scenery. If South
ern California wins, it will be the
ninth victory for the coast in the
last 10 years.
California has won three
championship titles since
1920. So has Stanford, while
Southern California has won
only two, so it is the TrO-
JAMS turn this time.
Meantime, the East has been
threatening to do something
about it and, by way of making
good this promise, it will produce
magnificent finish between
Yale, Pennsylvania and Harvard
for third place. Ctanford, the
1929 champion, can't do worse
than second, with a team COM
posed of men that scored %
points last year. Southern Cali
fornia, however, ought to run up
40 points and might go higher,
much depending on its hurdlers
and high jumpers. The Trojans
themselves are so sure Of win
ming that they plan to keep the
blankets on Wykoff during the
running of the 220-yard dash.
Today'S events will be confined
to heats in the two dashes and
the 440 and 880-yard runs and to
trials in the shot put. hammer
throw, discus and javelin.
The quarter ought to be a
great race between Engle, of Yale,
and McCafferty, Holy Cross. The
half will bring out Chapman, Of
Bates, a 1853 man; Bullwinkle,
C. c. N. Y, and Hackey, Michi-
gan State.
McKniff, Pennsylvania, will
have to do under 4:19 to beat
HallOwelI, Harvard, and
Hickey, N. Y. u, in the mile.
The twO.mile ought to be
easy for Rekers, of Penn
State.
The old record may go in the
low hurdler, with Carls and
Payne, U. S. c.; Stollwerck, Col.
gate; Record, Harvard, and Lin
coin. Princeton, lining up. Dave
Myers. N. Y. u. recently bettered
the javelin record with 206 feet
9 inches but Curtice and Churchill,
of California, and Snider and
Mortensen, U. S. c., may beat
this today. The high jump figures
may be wiped out by either
Stewart or Van OSdel, of U. S. c.,
who have beaten feet 6 inches,
or by O'Connor, Columbia, who
