ROBERTSON FEARS CORNELL, HARVARD IN TRACK MEETING

Philadelphia, March 2.-Cornell and Harvard stand out as Pennsyl- vania's main rivals to the I. c. A. A. A. A. indoor track and field cham pionshlps in the opinion of Lawson
 Robertson, coach of the Red and Blue.
 The recently named U. s. Olympic coach for 1882, bases his prediction on the ability of the Ithacan team in the pole vault, mile, two mile, 35 pound weight and hurdle events. In addition, Cornell is always dan- gerous competitors in championship meets.
 Last year the Ithacans surprised the intercollegiate world by tieing Pennsylvania for the title with 27k points, when few of the experts fig ured that Moakleys team had even an outside chance of registering that many points.
 Harvard, as result of its victory over Dartmouth and Cornell, in a tri- angular meet held recently, is re- garded by Robertson as having 6 splendid chance to win the title. The Crimson while lacking outstanding stars, is strong in, number of events In which neither Cornell or Pennsyl- Vdhla bHOulu uo uucn point BettluB The loss of Charles Pfeifer, a bril- liant hurdlcr. Jack Edwards, quarter miller and member of the one mile relay team, and Ed Vlodyka, shot butter, will prove costly to Pennsyl- vania. Pfeifcr and Wlodyka are in- eligible for competition while Ed wards is suffering from an infected leg that has kept him inactive for two weeks.
 In all probability Frank McLough- lin of Brooklyn, will occupy the place vacated by Edwards. The remainder of the team will be the same with Howard Jones, Bill Carr and Horace Steel in the combination. If Mo. Loughlin shows the form expected of him this team will come close 10 breaking the record established by Harvard year ago.
