Forecast of Events.

Harvard enters the meet today the favorite. Of the team, which over-whelmed Yale a year ago on Soldiers Field, fourteen men, who then accumulated fifty-six of Harvard's seventy-one points, will represent the University again today. These men represent nine firsts, three seconds, and five thirds. Yale has today seven of last year's point-winners, representing one first place, four seconds and two thirds, or fifteen points in all. Yale's decisive victory over Princeton, last Saturday, however, shows conclusively that a powerful organization has been developed from new material. Harvard, also, showed even greater strength than was expected by defeating Cornell, 63 to 54. The times and distances recorded in the two dual meets last Saturday indicate very poorly what either team is capable of doing, because wretched weather seriously handicapped the work of the athletes both at Princeton and at Soldiers Field. It is apparent form the results, however, that neither Harvard nor Yale is remarkably strong in the sprints, and the outcome of these events remains in doubt. Yale, as usual, has powerful performers in the hurdles and field events. It was the strength of the Harvard team in these very events, however, which enabled it to win from Cornell, after Cornell had taken firsts in the sprints and long distance runs. Harvard and Yale seem fairly evenly balanced in all except the distance runs, and it is Harvard's thorough and consistent strength in this department that makes the team a slight favorite today.

Prospects in Track Events

Cornell of Yale seems the most probable winner in the century and furlong dashes, although Rudell, his teammate and R. Tower '15 or W. B. Adams '13 will press him hard and may win either of these races.

W. A. Barron, Jr., '14 should win the quarter-mile race and J. C. Rock '15 should place at least as well as third.

Brown and Poucher, of Yale, are strong in the half-mile run. T. W. Kocj '14, however, has made the distance in 1 minute, 57 3-5 seconds this spring and is a probable winner.

H. M. Warren '13, H. G. MacLure '15, and H. P. Lawless '13 seem good for three places in the mile run, while in the two-mile race R. St.B. Boyd '14, F. W. Copeland '13, and B. S. Carter '15 should finish in the order named.

Yale has a wonderful hurdler in Potter, but Captain J. B. Cummings '13 and A. L. Jackson '14 will push him hard.

Outlook in Field Events.

Roos and Harbison of Yale have excellent records in the shot-put R. B. Batchelder '13, C. E. Brickley '15, and H. R. Hardwick '15 are a powerful trio and may be counted upon to score in this event. T. Cable '13 should win the hammer throw with ease, although Pickett of Yale has improved since last year.

The high jump will furnish a pretty contest between A. W. Moffat '13 and Douglas. J. B. Camp '15 is a strong contender for the remaining point. The broad jump will be closely contested.

The pole-vault has always been a Yale event, and in Captain Wagoner and Achilles, Yale has two remarkable performers. J. B. Camp 15, however, should be able to win a point in this event.
