HOW INTERCOLLEGIATES LOOK

With the indoor track season practically ended, interest is being taken in the prospects of the various colleges for the intercollegiate games to be held in the Stadium May 29 and 30.

The games this year are unusually important because they may decide the winner of the cup for which there has been competition for nine years. Pennsylvania and Cornell have four victories each, while Harvard has won once. Five victories are required to secure permanent possession of the trophy.

Pennsylvania will be exceptionally strong. Of the 24 points secured last year, 19 were scored by men eligible to compete this spring, Cornell is a heavy loser, for she keeps only 3 1-2 of the 17 1-2 points scored in 1913. Michigan retains 11 out of 19 points; Yale 8 out of 11; and Harvard 13 1-2 out of 21 1-2.

Many Competitors in Dashes.

In considering the different events, it is easily seen that the 100 and 220-yard dashes may, in a great measure, be accounted for by last year's records. Every one of the five men who won the four places in these events will run this spring. In the quarter-mile, W. A. Barron, Jr., '14, and Jensen of Michigan, who finished third and fourth respectively, are the only point winners to return. The half-mile finds the winners of first, third, and fourth places,--Brown of Yale, F. W. Capper '16, and Marceau of Dartmouth respectively. Madeira of Pennsylvania, who finished fourth in the mile, is eligible this spring and is the only point winner in that event to return. McCurdy of Pennsylvania and R. St.B. Boyd '14 will compete again in the two-mile. The two hurdle events will be taken care of by A. L. Jackson '14, Potter of Yale, Braun of Dartmouth, and Brady of Columbia.

Heavy Losses in Field Events.

The losses are much heavier in the field events. J. B. Camp '15 is the only point winner to compete again in the high jump. Camp, together with Fiske of Princeton and Kennen of Cornell, will enter the pole-vault as in 1913. None of the men who placed in the broad jump will enter the 1914 intercollegiates. In the shot-put there will be Whitney of Dartmouth, Beatty of Columbia, and Kohler of Michigan, who finished last year in the order named. Shattuck of California and Kohler of Michigan will again throw the hammer.

With the unusual number of point winners returning, the competition in all the events cannot but be of the keenest sort. Some idea of the probable results, however, may be gained from a survey of the various events and the men returning in them. Cornell seems to be greatly handicapped, while Pennsylvania, Michigan and Harvard are well fortified.
