Forecast of Events.

The competitors in most of the events are unusually well matched this year and some extremely close finishes are expected. It is hard to pick any particular events as features, inasmuch as all will undoubtedly be of the highest class. While few records are likely to go, many will be closely approached. A number of last year's point winners will compete, but their chances of scoring again can hardly be based on their performances a year ago, because of the extremely bad weather conditions that prevailed at the time.

The 100-yard dash promises to be a critical event from a Harvard standpoint. Princeton expects Dawbarn to win from Foster, although the latter beat him in the Pennsylvania relay games early in the season. Since then Foster has constantly improved and will be at his best today and tomorrow. Sherman of Dartmouth, who took second a year ago, is not expected to compete as he strained a tendon last week. In his absence third and fourth places should lie between Minds of Pennsylvania, Hawley of Dartmouth, and Cary of Yale. Gamble of Princeton has not been in the best of condition lately and may not place, a though he was fourth last year. McArthur of Cornell and Geary of Fordham are fast men and are not to be over-looked.

The 220-yard dash should without doubt go to Foster. Dawbarn of Princeton is apparently his only dangerous competitor. The remaining places are hard to assign as no other exceptionally fast men have been developed this season, and Sherman, last year's third place winner, will not run.

Merrihew has made the fastest time of the year in the 440-yard run and is looked upon as the probable winner. Hitchcock of Cornell is a fast runner and may be stronger than Merrihew for tomorrow's race. LaMontagne of Yale has been rapidly regaining his form and may show enough improvement to be among the foremost. DeSelding is the only one of last year's point winners remaining, and with Blumer, who will probably enter this event, should materially strengthen Harvard's chances.

Yale is counting on making a good showing in the 880-yard run with Spitzer, Mann, and Kirjassoff. Beck of Pennsylvania has made the fastest time of the season for this distance, however, and may come in ahead of the Yale runners. An even more formidable competitor is French of Cornell, who was second last year. Princeton has a good team entered for this event in Whitely, Laird, and Frantz. Warren and Guild of Harvard are strong runners and if they qualify this afternoon may be able to take a place tomorrow.

Very fast time is expected in both the distance runs. Jaques of Harvard and Paull of Pennsylvania have been unbeatable all the year and if they come together in the mile a new record is likely to result. McGee of Princeton is almost in the same class. May, Tower, and West, all of Michigan, are consistently fast runners and one of them is likely to take fourth place away from Coney of Yale. Jaques will probably not run in the two-mile, and it is not likely that Paull will be able to win from Dull of Michigan after running the mile. The latter was third two years ago when the present record was established. Taylor and Young, both or Cornell, are likely to beat McGee and perhaps Paull.

The high hurdles will apparently go to Yale as Howe has shown himself to be in wonderful form this season. Rand will have to be at his very best to beat Dwight of Princeton and Talcott of Cornell for second. The points will probably be divided among these four, unless Robbins, of Yale has improved remarkably. In the low hurdles Gardner has an excellent chance of reversing the results of two weeks ago by winning from Howe. It is not at all unlikely that the former will win. For third and fourth places the most prominent competitors are Rand of Harvard, Hartranft of Pennsylvania, and Gamble of Princeton.

Records are likely to go in the pole-vault and the hammer throw. In the latter event Talbott of Connell has consistently beaten 160 feet and recently made a throw of 167 feet and 4 inches. Cooney of Yale and Horr of Syracuse are closely matched for second place, while the fourth position should be easy for Andrus of Yale. Yale again stands out conspicuously in the pole-vault. Campbell and Nelson are both practically sure of beating the existing record of 12 feet and the new mark will probably be considerably higher. Barr of Harvard and Cook of Cornell have both cleared 12 feet and may be able to divide the points with the Yale vaulters.
