Harvard 40, Yale 95; Harvard 64, Yale 71; Harvard 67 1-2, Yale 67 1-2,--what will be the score of the Harvard-Yale track meet in the Stadium at 3 o'clock this afternoon? The first is the figure of a Yale sympathizer, published on Wednesday in the Yale Daily News; the second figure was arrived last night at by a Harvard adherent; the third, the tie, is the score deduced by the Harvard track management and published in the program which will be sold at the meet this afternoon for the amusement of any speculative spectators.

That the final score of this afternoon's meet will be 67 1-2 to 67 1-2 is, of course, absurd. That is a score which occurs not once in a decade. It is an arbitrary figure, arbitrarily arrived at. As such it may be discarded here.

But the other two predictions deserve more serious consideration. Both the Harvard and the Yale man have made sincere efforts to forecast the score of today's meet. That their conclusions differ by some 25 points only shows the degree of their college spirit. Each man is going on the assumption that all the men from his college will do better than their best, and that all the men from the rival college will do worse than their worst. That is an unwarranted assumption. In actual competition this afternoon, it is practically certain that some men from each team will fall short of expectations, and some surpass them.

But it is interesting to study the two dope sheets, prejudices and all. The Yale prophecy was written by Mr. Paul Barnett, director of publicity for the Yale athletic association. Summarizing his conclusion, event by event, the result is as follows:

In the 100-yards dash, Norton and Locke of Yale should place first and second, with Robb of Harvard finishing third.

Norton is also to win the 220-yards dash, and Allen and Arneil, his team mates are to take what is left of the places, as "there is no furlong runner at Harvard who should even make it interesting for this trio of Yale sprinters."

The quarter will aso be easy for Yale. Gage, Shipman, and Allen of Yale taking all three places.

Yale Concedes Watters' Supremacy

Watters of Harvard is conceded first place in the 880 yards run in view of the fact that he clocked the remarkable time of 1.55 1-5 in this event at Princeton last week. But Geilfus of Yale will take second, while Yale's captain, Douglas, will fight for third place with his team-mate, Bannon.

Captain Douglas will also win the mile; Cutcheon of Harvard will take second; and Gault of Yale will capture third place.

Tibbetts of Harvard is admitted the victor in the two-mile run, but the value of his win will be partly neutralized when Tracy and Treadwell of Yale between them win second and third places.

In the hurdles, Yale is to win 17 out of a possible 18 points. Cole, Bullard, and Durant will paint the finish line blue in the low hurdles, and Bullard and Milliken, of Yale, will take first and second in the highs, leaving Fletcher of Harvard to collect Harvard's lone point in third place.

Field Events to Yale

A few more clean sweeps for Yale will come in the broad jump, pole vault, and hammer throw. "Comins, Cheney, and Weinecke are better than anybody Harvard has, and should finish in that order.' Schlopp, Durfee, and Yale will pin the nine points for the pole vault without trouble. And Earl, Lufkin, and Marting will clean up for Yale in the hammer throw.

Harvard is given big concessions, however, in the high jump, as Gerould will probably win that event, with Hyatt and Jenney fighting for third, after Gifford of Yale has taken second.
