e etn i e SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1921 SPORTS. 23 California Track Team Is Picked to Win Intercollegiate Title TEAM OF EIGHT STARS . COMING EAST FOR MEET BY LAWRE! TITH definite assurance tha: team will come east to participate in the intercollegiate meet at the Harvard stadium on May 27-28, the opinion prevails that the Blue and Gold athletes are like with a championship. i California_invasion seems most Ii avoided when a list is compiled of certain to win points. For instance, there is Hutchinson, a real ten-second sprinter, who has one or two 0.09 4-5 races to his eredit. Hutch- inson, by the way, is the man who w only a yard and a half back of Paddock when the much talked of 0.20 4-5 furlong was run. Certainly Hutchinson should do the century in ten seconds at C: bridge. In the quarter Hendrixon, win- ner of the 440 at the 1920 meet at Thiladelphia, will again represent the Bears. He is at least as good as he was last year. Sprott Certain Point Winner. Then Sprott is a certain point winner in the half and no one be sure that he will not place in the mile. Drews looks to be good for a couple of points in the low hurdles, with Thompson of nd Bar- Dartmouth, Meyers of Rutgers Ton of Penn State ahead of him. Hen- derson should turn in_a point in the high hurdl Brick Muller, the foot bail hero, will take h are of places in the high and broad jumps. while Nor- ris in the pole vault and Majors with the shot will add their mite: . Thus it would seem that if ever a California institution is to win the big eastern classie, this is the ¥ Every member of this is a hig-grade a trainer of a sq merically would ¢ for this western octet. At & fair estimate the Californians should garner thirty points: Princ ton, Pennsylvania and Dartmouth will probably turn in about twenty each Cornell may do well; this is said, however, more because of Jack Moa! ley's great abi as a developer of athletes than because of any real promise in the current situation at Ithaca. Indeed, a rigid survey of ex- isting facts suggests that Cornell might come out of the competition with the lowest score that an Red and White track team has made in the past decade. Harvard probably will win twelve points and Yale, Penn State and Vir- ginia should round up a dozen each. Notre Dame, Columbia, Pittsburgh, Boston Cellege, Williams and Rut- gers will absorb the balance. All the probable big point winners among the eastern teams are likely to suffer in their scores because of cuts made by Lafayette and Syracuse. assuming that Laconey and Wodring are right at the time.

A blistered left hand interfered noticeably with Miss Stirling’s driving. Owing to her sore hand she occasionally heeled her shots, and many times she scemed to wince under pain. Putts Extremely Well. The putting of Miss Stirling was extraordinarily good. On the play from the first tee Miss Stirling heeled a good drive and played beautifully a difficult approach shot. She topped ker drive to the second, but even at that she nearly obtained a par four. After this the American woman made no mistake until the eighth hole, where she “duffed” and took five strokes.

On the elev- enth hole she “duffed” her approach and then barely failed to hole out a two-yard putt for a four. The next four holes were played faultlessly. On the sixteenth hole the play was across a pond, over a hedge and over a gravel path.
