The shot-put looks like a sure victory for the Blue with Jordan and Boltwood both able to put the ball a good deal further than the average, but Captain Brown should place. There is a possibility that he will score second place, and that H. W. Clark will be able to beat out Boltwood for third.
The hammer-throw, in contrast to the shot-put is almost sure to win first place. He finished second in the Penn Relay Carnival, and won the event against the Oxford-Cambridge team last summer, and since then, his form has shown remarkable improvement, with a distance gain in his distances as a result. One of his throws in the M. I. T. meet last Saturday was well over 160 feet, but was foul by inches. Provided that he can stay within the circle, he will surely outdistance Cruiksbank, the bast Eli entry, while Marshall is very likely to win third place for the University over Lands.
pole Vault a Blue Event
Captain Gardner of the Elis is conceded the pole-vault. He has done better than either Davis, the premier University vaulter, or Gratwick, whose work has been improving very fast lately, have ever done, but Davis, unless bothered by his old injury, which kept him out of the meet against the Engineers, will surely win second place, while Gratwick, who has done 11 feet 6 inches, looks like the logical choice for third place over Hulman, whose mark against Princeton was only 11 feet.
The university seems to have the edge in the two new events, the javelin and discuss-throw. Greenidge or Janin, who like Jenkins, will be borrowed from the baseball team long enough to take part in the meet are favored to win, but Storrs who has done particularly well of late, may be able to take first place for the Elis although he will be forced to the limit to beat out either of the Crimson entries.
The discuss-throw looks almost sure for the University with Carpenter who has done as well as 130 feet, practically certain to win. The second place in that event belongs without doubt to Yale, Jordan, who has done close to 125 feet, is a practical certainly for this position, and may even beat out Carpenter, while into of Yale will probably be able to shade Miller for third lace, although this is by no means certain.
