Philadelphia, Penn, May 23, 1927--Hopes of University of Pennsylvania partisans that the Red and Blue will stand among the leaders of American intercollegiate track and field competition at the close of activities on Franklin Field, Saturday, received added stimulus here today by the announcement that Folwell Scull, leading Penn sprinter, will be in condition to too the mark in the preliminaries of the 100 yard dash Friday afternoon...
...former Olympic runner, is the leading penn prospect in the two mile. He took fourth in Cambridge last year and with Giles is counted on to pick up a few points in the distance grind. The dispute concerning the leading Penn half miler was settled to the satisfaction of track folowers on Saturday by a trial race in this event. Heilprin won the decision over Starrat and Barnshaw and is now rated as the most likely contender against such runners as Swinbourne, of Georgetown. McCloskey, of Boston College, Lovejoy, of Southern California, and McKinnon, of Stanford...
Spencer and McKinnon, the two Stanford middle distance leaders, have been working out on the Franklin Field track for the last four or five days.

His times have been consistently under those shown by the best runners of both East and West and with more than a week of practice on the Philadelphia track should be unbeatable in Saturday's battle.

...Harvard track team, coached by W. J. Bingham '16, and-starting the season with poor prospects of success, staged a series of upsets in the Yale meet on the Stadium cinders to gain a hard won victory. This year again Harvard prospects of triumph over the Blue seemed dim at the, beginning of the season. Strength in the running events had carried the Crimson to an intercollegiate title early in March, but the preponderance of the New Haven aggregation in the weights and jumps was a little use in indoor competition...
