N JCRTH CAROLINA yesterday
Nj in the Southern Confer
1 Y ence championship pre-


liminaries sui Stantiated
what had been claimed for 1t, IN
that it qualified more men for the
finals than any other school and
thereby placed itself in the most
favorable position to win the meet
this afternoon. The Tarheels sent
20 men through the preliminary
events to take part in the finals
today, while its nearest rival in
this regard was Duke, with Is
men, with Virginia third, with IA.
North Carolina, Duke and Virginia
will fight it out for top honors. OF
course, the situation seems to favor
North Carolina considerably, but both
Duke and Virginia have chance. None
of the other schools has the least
look-in whatsoever for the team trophy
that goes with the championship. No
other school has qualified enough nell
to stand a ghost Of a show, although
the way they cut in on the points may
influence a good deal the ultimate
winner.
One new record was set in the trials
yesterday, when John Brownlee OF Duke
went over the jumps at the 220-yard
distance in 238 seconds, lowering the
old record of "a seconds fiat.
ONE event in which a record is al
~ most certain to fall this afternoon
is the mile Three star runners
are hooked up in that, with Lauck OF
Virginia the favorite Lauck has been
scratched from the half mile in order
to be fresh to 60 after a mile record.
Incidentally, Washington and Lee has
a star in this event in Dunay, and so
has Carolina in Lewis; and both these
followed Virginia's suit and withdrew
from the half. This should be one OF
the greatest races Of the meet.
The best time made IN the 100-yard
dash was by Lynn of Clemson, who did
the distance in 10 fat. Widmyer had
a slow heat and won in 1912 seconds.
The race this afternoon lies between
Lynn, Childers of North Carolina,
Brownlee of Duke and Widmyer, with
the last mentioned the favorite.
Coles OF Virginia got the best heave
In the shotput trials, but fell short OF
As feet by a few inches. Wexford OF
Virginia Military Institute ran the fast
est quarter, winning his heat in 49.6
seconds. He probably will take the
event this afternoon, as he has gen.
orally been recognized as the best man
at the distance in the section.
Lynn Of Clemson, who made the best
time in the heats Of the 100-yard dash,
repeated in that respect in the 200, as
he set figures of 2l.9 seconds. Wild
myer is not entered in this event.
Lynn generally is credited with being
the best 220 man in the section.
NHARYLAND's lacrosse team is at
IVl Baltimore today in its biggest bat
tie of the year, with Johns Hop
kins The winner unquestionably Will
by general accord get highest national
honors in thesstick sport Over in the
Monumental City the opinion Is that
Hopkins has too good a team for the
Old Liners. However, that may be, the
game ought to be one Of the best ever
played, although it is perfectly possible
that one or the other of the teams may
run away with the game.
Several years ago Maryland went
over to play Hopkins without having
lost game, but got whipped, 10 to ).
Then two or three years later 1t went
over without being conceded chance
0uG rang up guam cO 4uct SAoS ~ "Oo
way out in front In short order and
won, 6 to 0.
While the Old Line lacrosse team Is
battling Hopkins, the base ball squad
will be at Annapolis in a setto with
Naval Academy. Navy beat Marylands
fine team of last year. However, If the
last mentioned plays today as well as
in its last two games with Virginia
Military Institute and Washington and
Lee it should stand an excellent chance
to come out on top.
TRANK CUMBERLAND, former Gen.
L trail High School base ball and foot
ball star, came home last night as
q member of the Western Maryland
base ball team and did himself proud
before his relatives, friends. ct al. With
the bases loaded in the fifth inning.
