SPORTS. SIX SCHOOLS TO COMPETE IN THIRD ANNUAL AFFAIR Columbia, Langlev and Macfarland Considered About on Par for First Honors—Military Drill Also to Have Part on Program. UNIOR HIGH SCHOOL track and field teams stage their third an- J nual fight for the trophy offered by the Columbia Parent-Teacher Association tomorrow at Eastern Stadium, starting at 9 o'clock. The meet, which will draw the best athletes of the six junior schools, is the first event on an all-day program, which includes the first competi- tive drill between military companies of Langley, Columbia, Macfarland, Jefferson, Hine and Powell Schools. Jefferson, Powell and Hine are not considered in the running for the track championship, but the other three squads are about evenly matched, and should furnish one another with some stiff competition.

List of Events. A sprint, a relay, running high jump, running broad jump and a hurdle race are listed for the com- petitors in each of four classes—S5, 100, 115 pound and unlimited. The hurdle event is replacing the once-over hat the British amateur is being held this vear prior to the Walker Cup matches may favor the Yankee players.

Short Time to Tune Up. This vear Capt.

By the Associated Press ANOVER, N. H., May 21.—When he sped over the 120-yard hig hurdles in the world, as well as intercollegiate, record time of 14 2 seconds at Philadelphia in 1920, Earl J. Thomson of Dartmout! set a mark which is not likely to be equaled nor surpassed “for a long time,” in the opinion of Harry L. Hillman, Dartmouth track and ficl coach. “It will take an athlete of Thomson's type to make such a perforn ance and the hurdler will have to have similar conditions to make it po sible for the chance to equal this record,” said Hillman, in commenting on the intercollegiate championships at the Harvard Stadium May d 29. . “The day Thomson made his record he was in | dition; he had an exceptionally good bunch of hurd] the day was ideal for record-breaking per ances “In 49 meets the high hurdles have southern (ol liforni been won by athletes from 14 colleges. | year at Philadeiph e in the olden days had a monoply The leading aspirants for the high hurdles, but in recent 's title are Dye, southern years it has changed so th should repeat lege may turn out the nia ~I\m|'vl be “Hurdling has changed | of ce the first Intercollegiate meet in t which time there was practi- cally no technique.
