The smallest track team which has represented the University against Yale for years will go to New Haven next Saturday to take part in the triangular meet between Yale, Princeton and the University. The three-cornered contest is an innovation this year, suggested because of the war-time curtailment of athletics. Princeton has easily the best team of the three, with several letter men still in college, while Yale and the University are more nearly balanced, neither possessing material of normal calibre.
Nineteen University runners have been entered in the triangular meet, but it is doubtful whether all of them will make the trip. The only two shot put entries, J. F. Linder '19 and C. F. Batchelder '20, are rowing on the crew and may not be able to take part in this event, while on or two other have left college or are going to do so before the meet.
The team has no entries in the broad jump or high jump and only one in the pole vault, J. J. Albright '19. This weakness because of lack of field event men will probably count heavily against the University next Saturday, for in the meet with Technology two weeks ago, the main University point-winners were field event men and not one first place was gained in the runs or dashes.
In the dashes F. F. Williams '20 and W. R. Swart '19, the two best University entries, have neither of them made very fast time this season, but they should give their opponents a hard struggle on Saturday. In the 440, P. E. Stevenson '20, who took second in the Technology meet, is expected to show up well, while the 880 and mile will be taken care of by H. D. Costigan '20, D. J. Duggan '20 and E. E. Lucas '19. C. H. Corning '20 is the best Crimson two-miler, except for Duggan, who will probably run the mile.
