With the first day’s honors resting with the Uni versity of Pennsylvania. brilliant weather again prevailed today for the finals in the 37th annual intercollegiate track and field meet on Franklin field this afternoon. Thirteen Quakers Qual ified for the finals. Cornell qualified only seven men, but among those was John Paul Jones, who constitutes nearly an entire track team in himself The surprise of the tryouts was the excellent showing of Columbia univer sity. The only new record up to the beginning of the final day’s events was made by a Columbia boy, Russell L. Beatty, who put the sixteen-pound shot 17 feet and 1-8 of an inch, beating the intercollegiate record of 46 feet 7 1-8 inches, made by Heiner, of Michigan, last year. Harvard had nine men qualified for today’s numbers. Yale 8, Dartmouth 7, Syracuse 5. Brown 2, Michigan 7. Princeton S, Rutgers 1, Wesleyan 2. Amherst 1, Penn State 1, and Massa chusetts Institute of Technology 1. As a result of the changed conditions prevailing today. Cornell was an equal favorite with Pennsylvania.

The wearing apparel is offered by the Parks-Chambers- Hardwiek Company, and the watch bj Maier & Berkele. The latter offer is of especial interest.

Atlanta Golf Delegation at Chattanooga Will Be Strong as Any SOUTHERN GOLF TOURNEY IS WIDE-OPEN EVENT By Percy 11. Whiting. A HUNDRED and fifty golfers will get away next Tuesday morning over the Chattanoo ga course in the eleventh annual championship of th* Southern Golf association This affair will be a far cry in point of time, of entries, in enthu siasm and in the sort of golf played from the first Southern champion ship, played in another Tennessee city one torrid week in June. 1902. And the difference between the two events will indicate pretty clearly the growth that golf has made in Dixie in that time. There ate now five to ten times as many golf courses as then. There are from ten to twenty times —yes, and perhaps even fifty times —as many players. In those days there were not over two or three 18-hole courses In the South, if that many. Now Dixie boasts one 45-hole course and one 36-hole course, while virtually every course of any prominence has its 18 holes. In Atlanta the change has been equally notable. In 1902 there was one little halfway golf course. It was nine holes in length we be lieve, and extremely short. There are almost as many hundred real players in Atlanta now as there were here then. The course now in use is probably three times longer, fifty times harder and a hundred times more expensive. To the first Southern championship Atlanta sent just two players—Clarence Angier, still one of Atlanta’s most enthusiastic golfers, and the late TV. P. Hill, runner-up in the 1904 championship. To the coming tour nament Atlanta will send from 20 to 40 players. ♦ * ♦ Q OME notable golfers have taken part in Southern championships of the past and the list of w inners is an interesting one. Here are the golf champions of the South: The Southern Champions. 1902 —Albert Schwartz, New Or leans, tournament played in Nash ville. 1903 —A. W. Gaines, Chattanoo ga, tournament played in Ashe ville. 1904 —Andrew’ Manson. Darien. Ga., tournament played in Louis ville. 1905—Andrew Manson. Darien, Ga.. tournament played In Savan nah. 1906—Leigh Carroll, New Or leans, tournament played in New- Orleans. 1907 —Nelson Whitney, New Or- ♦ Here’s way to spell ginger ale N R-e-d Red R-o-c-k Rock “Say Red Rock— Say It Plain” Yes, we make that good LEMO-LIME you get at the ball park and all stands leans, tournament played in Atlanta. 1908— Nelson Whitney, New Or leans, tournament played in Mem phis. 1909 J. P. Edrington. Memphis, tournament played in Memphis. 1910— F. G. Byrd, Atlanta, tour nament played in Atlanta. 1911— W. P. Stewart, New Or leans. tournament played in Nashville. Next in interest to the tourna ment winner is always the man who makes the low medal score In the qualifying round. The men who have captured this honor in past Southern events are: Score Medal Winners. 1902 Andrew Manson. Darien. Ga. 1903 — Andrew Manson, Darien. Ga. 1904 Andrew’ Manson, after a tie with 1. F. Starks and Ike Hilliard, of Louisville. 1905 — Lawrence Eustis, of New Orleans, after a tie with Andrew Manson. 1906 — Law rence Eustis. New’ Or leans. 1907 Lawrence Eustis, New Or leans. 1908— H, Chandler Egan. Louis ville. 1909 J. P. Edrington. Memphis, after a tie with Ellis Knowles, Pen sacola, Fla. 1910— Ellis Knowles, Pensacola, Fla. 1911— R. G. Bush, Jr.. New Or leans. The third most coveted honor in the golf championship is the team match competition. This event has been played under different, condi tions in different years, but as a rule the prize has gone to the play ers from any club whose scores are the lowest. The team winners since the event was inaugurated have been: Team Prize Winner*. 1906 — Audubon club of New Or leaas. 1907 Audubon club of New Or leans. 1908— Memphis Country club. 1909 Memphis Country club. 1910— Audubon club of New Or leans. 1911— Birmingham Country club. ♦ * ♦ » PPARENTLY the coming tour nament In Chattanooga should be a trifle more open than any that was ever played before in the South. Picking the winner would take a clairvoyant, with the chances bad enough, even then. Probably tin- champions of 1909. 1910 and 1911 will all be there to compete. But Bill Stewart was a chance champion at best, F. G. Byrd is not playing as much as he did when he copped the title, nor Jack Ediing ton as well. If Nelson Whitney plays, which is doubtful, his golf isn’t what it used to be. Leigh Car roll won the recent invitation tour nament In Birmingham, but he is never better than a mighty reliable performer. Andrew’ Manson is vir tually out. A. W. Gaines is a steady golfer, but nothing more. And Albert Schwartz is out of tournament golf. There are twenty or thirty golfers in the South who are good enougli right today to hold their own with the champions of the past. Therefore, the coming event looks like big doings.
