COLLEGIA! 



All eyes in the college world center on the 

 track championships to be held in Philadel- 

 phia on Franklin Field, May 26 and 27. 

 Never in the history of the games since their 

 introduction, thirty years ago, has there been 

 so much uncertainty a month before the dates 

 for competition as there is this year. The 

 graduation of the best hurdlers, a number of 

 last year's point winners, and the accession 

 of very few new men of quality in the vari- 

 ous teams as far as has yet developed makes 

 the task of selecting winners in the various 

 events a matter of extreme difficulty. The 

 chances appear to favor Yale's repeating her 

 victory of last year, because of the large 

 number of second string point winners' she 

 has, though Harvard, Pennsylvania, Prince- 

 ton and Cornell have all teams which, with 

 a little luck, may step into the place of the 

 Blue. There has never been a year when 

 there were so many colleges that had even 

 an outside chance to win and no year in 

 which the points promised to be distributed 

 so widely. 



For the purpose of getting a line on the 

 possibilities, the Relay Carnival at the Uni- 

 versity of Pennsylvania was awaited with 

 keenest interest, but the generous propor- 

 tion of Western point winners there together 

 with the poor condition of a number of the 

 competing teams due to the cold weather 



admitted of little in the line of tipping off 

 futurities. The relays showed the Yale men 

 in exceptionally good form on the track ; 

 Pennsylvania fairly well fixed for first 

 strings, Cornell with some promising ma- 

 terial, but the whole product undeveloped 

 and likely to remain so until very near the 

 close of the preliminary meets. The dual 

 games held between the various colleges will 

 give a better line, but for the purpose of our 

 review they will be too late to be of service. 



CHANCES OF THE VARIOUS TEAMS. 



Yale seems to have three sure winners: 

 McLanahan, unless his teammate, Dray, beats 

 him in the pole vault ; Shevlin, in the ham- 

 mer throw, and Parsons in the half-mile, 

 look sure. With Hill and Alcott in the mile, 

 Hall in the two mile, Marshall in the high 

 jump, Sheffield in the broad jump, and Har- 

 ris in the hammer throw, to help out Yale, 

 looks sure of better than thirty points. The 

 only other team with winners is Harvard. 

 Schick looks like the winner in both dashes 

 and Schoenfus looks good in the shot put, if 

 the ball team does not interfere with his 

 training. Dodge in the sprints, Grant, Whit- 

 man, Dives and Young in the middle dis- 

 tances, and King in the two-mile Harvard 

 ought to be sure of twenty-five points. Cor- 

 nell with Munson, Poate and Magoffin in the 

 distances, Ashburner in the. hurdles, Porter
