In the low hurdles, Shelton of Cornell, and Ferguson, of Pennsylvania, should finish first and second respectively. Potter, of Yale, Smith, of Michigan and Braun or Hammitt should take the remaining three places.
Hard to Forecast Field Events
The results of the field events are no easier to forecast than the track. Kohler of Michigan and Loughride, of Yale will probably take the first two places, in the hammer-throw, although Coolidge, of California has done better than 150 feet on two different occasions. Olmsted, of Columbia is another man who can do 150 feet, while McCutcheon, of Cornell has made 149 feet. H. Sturgis '15, may secure fifth place, but a higher position is improbable.
Whitney, of Dartmouth should repeat his work of last year and win the shot-put, with Beatty, of Columbia and Kohler, of Michigan second and third. Harbison, of Yale and Dorizas, of Pennsylvania are the favorites for the last two places, with Olmsted, of Columbia as runner-up.
J. B. Camp '15, has done the best of anyone in the pole-vault to date, and if he continues in his present form he should register 5 points. Nevertheless, Cornell has two good men in Fritz and Milton, who defeated Camp in the dual games and who may force Camp to take second or even third. Sewell, of Pennsylvania, and Carter, of Yale are two others who have gone higher than 12 feet although the latter is irregular in his work. These men should take fourth and fifth places respectively.
J. O. Johnstone '16, Cannot Enter
Harvard loses several sure points in the broad and high jumps since J. O. Johnstone '16, is barred because of a technicality in a ruling of the I. C. A. A. A. A. The high jump should go to Oler, of Yale, without much dispute unless it be from the Californians, McPhie and Nichols, for there no other high jumpers who can make 6 feet. Douglas, of Yale has done 5 feet, 11 inches as have Hallett, of Haverford, and Maker, of California. These marks will probably be good enough to secure places.
Nordell, of Dartmouth, should take the broad jump, but with Morrison, of Cornell, a close second; Broadt, also of Cornell, should be good for third place while Cooke, and Hampton of Yale and Graham, of Columbia will probably divide the last two places among them
