BY ALAN J. GOULD. HARVARD STADIUM, CAMBRIDGE, May 26. Mud, rain and the combined track and field strength of more than a score of Eastern colleges today could not stop the brawny sons of Leland Stanford university from carrying off the intercollegiate A.

A. A. A. team championship for the second straight year. Eleven Stanford athletes, led by the stalwart sophomore, Eric Krenz, piled up a total of 43 points to spread-eagle the field and win by the biggest margin any victorious team has had in thirteen years.

Yale, carrying the forlorn hopes of the East, finished second with 25 points while Cornell and Penn State tied for third with 16 points apiece. Capturing four first places and scoring altogether in eight of the fifteen events, Stanford had a runaway of it from start to finish. It wasn't close at any stage of the rain-swept finals. Individuals Hold Interest. With the team title a one-sided the battle for individual honors in the mud and rain held the interest of the soaked and scanty crowd of a few thousand.

They saw a series of flashing performances, in spite of the wretched conditions, with Ray Bar-buti, burly Syracuse captain, emerging to share the chief individual glory with the equally stocky Eric Krenz. These two athletes were the only double winners. Krenz was able to rest on his laurels of yesterday, clinching first place in the shotput and discus with his record-breaking preliminary throws that no one was able to threaten today, but Barbuti was forced to go out and earn his twin victories in the 220-yard dash and 440-yard run. The big Syracuse flier beat out the Stanford captain, Emerson (Bud) Spencer, the favorite, by a yard in a thrilling finish in 48 8-10 seconds. Apparently none the worse for the wear and tear of this gruelling event, Barbuti came back an hour and a half later to win the 220 with a sensational finish that overcame Barron Rockwell of Princeton in 22 5-10 seconds.

The sprints ware robbed of much of their prospective thrill by the withdrawal of Borah, double winner last year, and Draper, but it would have taken the best the Southern Californians have shown to have beaten either Barbuti in the furlong, or Jimmy Quinn, the Holy Cross flier, who took the 100-yard final in 9 9-10 seconds, sensational time in the sloppy going. Two spectacular triumphs went to Harvard in the one and two-mile runs, both of which were decided in the last stretch in a roar of excitement. Ralph Luttman, stocky little Crimson miler, came from behind with a beautifully timed last lap sprint to dethrone the champion, Bill Cox of Penn State. A little later Jimmy Reid of Harvard duplicated his teammate's sterling feat by romping from the rear with a tremendous burst of finishing speed to beat Joe Hagen of Columbia, the indoor champion, Bf nson of Cornell. Welles of Princeton and Brown of Michigan State, in a thrilling dash through the muck.

Collier Loses Crown. Another champion was unseated in the 120-yard high hurdles when the trim Stanford star, Ross Nichols, galloped over the sticks faultlessly to win from John Collier of Brown by inches in an exciting finish to a race that saw the 1927 winner. Wells of Dartmouth, fifth and last. The low hurdles were a romp for Kieselhorst of Yale after the Southern Californians, Payne and Graham, along with the lone Stanford entry, West, were eliminated, in the semifinal trials. Three Eli timber toppers figured in the final.

The Three I. C. A. A. A.

A. championship meet records set yesterday all withstood fresh attacks today and remained as the sole record product of the carnival. Krenz, who put the shotput to a new mark of 50 feet 1 inch yesterday, was unable to do better than forty-eight feet 5 inches. His teammate, Harlow Rothert, was equally unsuccessful in efforts to better his fine mark of 50 feet i inch in the trials. Krenz' discus mark of 154 feet 11 inches likewise was safe from further attack while no broad jumper was able to improve on the preliminary mark of 24 feet 10J inches that clinches first place for fl I.KOX IT RAY.

JAPANESE NETMEN LEAD CANADA, 2-1 MONTREAL, May 26. 15 Taking the doubles match after a bitter flght, Japan went into 2-to-1 lead In its second round Davis cup series with Canada today.

KANSAS CITY, May 26 W) Winning the doubles in straight sets here this afternoon, the United States eliminated China in the third match of the international Davis cup tennis series. Capt. William T.

Tilden, America's ranking star, and W. F. Coen, 16 years old, of Kansas City, youngest player ever to wear the stars and stripes in Davis cup competition, swept through Gordon Lum and Paul Kong, 6-2, 6-1, 6-3, to clinch victory in the American zone semifinals. John Hennessey of Indianapolis yesterday defeated Lum, 6-3, 6-1, 6-0 in the singles, while George Lott of Chicago won over Kong in love sets, 6-0, 6-0, 6-0. Today's victory advanced the United States to the American zone finals Chicago in June with the winner of the Japan-Canada match, which now is being played.

The victory today left without import the concluding singles tomorrow between Hennessey and Kong and Lott and Lum. Chinese Bewildered. Superior teamwork of Tilden and Coen bewildered the Chinese and they never offered serious threat. Frequent errors, as in yesterday's matches, also rost the invaders. The United States scored twenty-six earned points, including service aces, while the Chinese collected but eight earned points, including one service see.

Leading all the way, Tilden stayed strictly to his side of the court, allowing the Kansas City school boy to carry on half of the battle creditably. The veteran starred, but the most applause was given Coen from the Kansas City crowd which packed the Rockhill Tennis Club stands. Tilden won his six services and Coen won and lost three each, two of the losing games being in the final set. The Chinese as a team made a much better appearance than as singles players yesterday. They were in mid-court most of the time, but their weak vollying cost them heavily.

Tilden and Coen placed many hard drives down the side lines and at times on the center line between the Chinese. Lum's ankle, injured earlier this week in practice, again bothered him today in coving the court. Twice he retwisted the injured member and was forced to take brief rests. Coen appeared unembarrassed and always sure of himself despite the doubly ticklish position of playing in his greatest role and before a hometown crowd.

Miss Wills and Hunter never were in danger, Mme. Marcou, No. 1.1 in the French proved no match for the American girl in the singles. It was little more than a practice match for Helen. She won the first six games and lost only three in the second set.

The French player is earnest and steady, but she could not approach the class of her opponent. The Argentine pair, Ronald Boyd and W. E.

The last of the tests was made when the track was In semi-darkness.

Barney Oldfleld was at the track for the first time. He is a ol customer on the front-drive machines. By use of the Monroe computing machines operated by J. B.

It is easy to forget the order In which the cars finish from year to year, so here's the low down on the way they flashed across the electric timing device a year ago: EVANSTON, 111., May 26 VP Two records were smashed and another was tied as Illinois, 1927 champions, retained its honors in the Western conference outdoor track and field championships this afternoon at Northwestern university.

William Droegemueller of Northwestern tied the record in the pole vault, held by himself and "Chuck" McGinnis of Wisconsin, by -clearing the bar at 13 feet, 3 inches. George Simpson, Ohio State sophomore speedster, was the high individual point winner, chalking up ten points for the Buckeyes with victories in the 100-yard dash and the 220-yard event.
