Bench will win the javelin, in all probability. He will be closely pressed by Kernan of Harvard, while another Allen of Yale is due to take third place.

In the discus, Mr. Barrett predicts that Carpenter should give Harvard five points in this number in view of his recent "unofficial" record of 152 feet in the Virginia meet. "Dunker of Harvard probably will win second place, and third will be a contest between Graf of Yale and McCoy also of Yale."

Eastman will win the shotput, and Dunker will add three more points to the Harvard total. Esselystya and Chamberlain of Yale seem due to cinch third place between them.

That ends the horoscope of today's meet, as cast by an ardent Yale man. The final score, according to his reckoning, is Yale 95, Harvard 40. Now, shifting to the Crimson point of view, it is interesting to note the differences in the various events which the Harvard adherent hopes will give Harvard the more creditable of 64 points to Yale's 74.

Even this adherent admits that Harvard can win the meet only by a miracle such as that performed by Coach Bingham's team two years ago in defeating Yale by 70 13-15 points to 64 2-15, when all the so-called track experts had predicted an easy Yale victory. Now that Allen is out with a tendon pulled the last day of practice, the Harvard advocates are forced to deduct from their total the eight points which they had hoped he would win in the 440 and 220-yards dashes today, and the result is fatal to their chances of victory.

But looking at the situation in the most optimistic way, this is the manner in which the Harvard adherent plans that his team will keep within gunshot of the Eli forces this afternoon:

In the 100-yards dash, Norton of Yale is a sure winner, but Robb, a Crimson sprinter, seems able to beat Locke of Yale down the straightaway to second place, if he is able to repeat his splendid race against McKim at Princeton last Saturday.

The 220-yards dash, according to the Harvard adherent, will be a replica of the 100-yards dash, with Norton in first place, Robb in second, and Locke third. Robb will be under a severe strain to take second in both races, but it is not impossible in a Harvard-Yale race, where nerve often counts as much as previous performances.

Allen's Loss Serious

In the 440 Allen's absence will hit the crimson hard. Gage and Chapman of Yale will be able to take first and second place between them, while Kane, Allen's best substitute, will probably take third place.

The 880 is the first race so far where Harvard is conceded an advantage over Yale. Here Watters is an acknowledged victor, and the only question seems to be, will he be able to break the 1.54 record made by Brown of Yale in 1914. Geilfuss of Yale will take second place, and Chapin of Harvard ought to come in for third.

The male will be still more of a crimson sweep. Watters, repeating in this race, has the endurance to win another first place, if his record at Exeter and on the Freshman team can be taken as evidence. Second place will go to Cutcheon of Harvard who teamed with Watters on the four-mile relay team which won the intercollegiate championship at the Penn Relay Carnival this spring. Third place will go to Captain Douglas of Yale.

In the two mile run, Harvard will take another first place with Tibbetts, who, if pushed at all, ought to make a sturdy assault on the dual meet record of 9.34, made in 1916 by Overton of Yale.

In the hurdles, Bullard of Yale will take first place in both the long and the short race. Fletcher, Harvard's foremost hurdler, has been improving by leaps and bounds of late, and there are rumors of remarkable times which he has turned in over the hurdles in practice lately. If these rumors are true, Fletcher should be able to take second in each race. Millikan of Yale will take third in the high hurdles, and either Cole or Durant of Yale will be third in the lows.

Turning to the field events, it is impossible to give the Harvard team much of an advantage in the pole vault or the hammer throw. In the pole vault, Schlopp and Durfee, both of Yale can outvault by a large margin Combs or Atwater of Harvard, who, however, ought to manage to take third place between them.
