With local sports writers picking the University track team to win the annual Harvard-Dartmouth-Cornell. Triangular meet in the Boston Garden next Monday evening by at least a ten point margin, and with Harry Hillman, Dartmouth mentor conceding a four point win to the Crimson runners as a result of their showing at the B. A. A. games last Saturday, comes the report from Coach Jack Moakley of Cornell that "his team is on a par with the wearers of the Green and Crimson, and will give a good account of itself next Monday."

On top of the confident statement of Coach Moakley, however, comes the report that Captain Treman pulled a tendon last month, and is still slightly handicapped by the weakened limb. What effect this will have on his running Monday remains to be seen, but it is not unlikely that the star dash man will be near top form when the time for the meet arrives.

That the Ithacans roster contains a number of stellar names is undeniable for one finds men like Captain Treman, who won a third in the 600 last year, Levering who fought off Captain Reid of the Harvard team last winter to win a victory in the two mile, and Clark, star hurdler who ran close to Ben Hedges, Olympic man in the Princeton-Cornell meet last spring. It is not, however, the known performers that make Cornell a threat, but rather the unknown material in nearly every event. A hasty glance at the entry list shows that sophomores are conspicuous by their presence.

Sophomores on Cornell Team

In the dash, for example, the outstanding representatives from the New York college are Yocom and Persbacker, who won first and second respectively in the Freshman event last year at the Triangle meet in Boston. The times of these men was close to those of the big race. How much one can presuppose by this is one of those things that makes doping a meet such a haphazard matter.

Dartmouth, on the other hand, is a pretty much known quantity, since Harry Hillman has allowed his time trial results for all meets to be published. These show that certain men such as Donner, a broad jumper who took a third last year and is expected to break the existing meet record of 23 feet, 1 inch, and Alcorn, in the hurdles, are certain choices for taking their events. Moody, a former star high jumper has returned to Dartmouth this season after being out of college for several years, and his efforts to return to his old time form will be watched closely. Hillman claims that it is not in firsts that the wearers of the Green will be outstanding, but rather in garhering the second and third positions, which are so all-important in a triangular meet.

Farrell Expects Crimson Win

Although noted for his optimistic outlook on meets, Coach E. L. Farrell of the University squad broke all precedents yesterday when he declared to the press that the better all around balance of his squad, together with certain outstanding individual performances would result in a Crimson victory by a margin of better than 15 points, and bring to the University team its sixth consecutive Triangular Meet win.

What are Farrell's Dark Horsee?

To allow him to make such a confident statement on the outcome of the meet, it seems certain that Coach Farrell must have a few trump cards up his sleeve which he intends to spring on his opponents next Monday evening. Just what these may be is not known, but a guess that the hurdles, distance runs and 300-yd. dash might contain a few Crimson dark horses is probably not too far removed from the situation to be pertinent.

Many Records Will Fall

That records are almost certain to fall is demonstrated by the performances of outstanding individuals in at least five events. The broad jump has already been mentioned. Oscar Sutermeister '32, who tied with Sturdy, I C. 4A champion last week at 13 feet, 4 inches in the pole vault, has been doing 13 feet consistently all season, and should top the Triangular Meet record of 12 feet, 7 3-4 inches which is held jointly by Burbank of Harvard and Smith of Dartmouth.

In the running events, the record of 1 min. 15 3-5 seconds set by Captain Swope of Dartmouth in the 600 last winter is in a perilous position, with Pratt and Langley of Dartmouth, Treman of Cornell, who ran a close second to Swope, W. C. Rowe '31, F. E. Cummings '30, and E. E. Record '32 all consistently bordering on the 1.16 mark.

300 Will Be Fast

One of the best events of the evening will be the 300-yd. dash. Although this is to be run in three heats, with the best winning times considered in the award of points, it is almost certain to produce at least one heat which will equal the Triangular Meet record of 33 4-5 seconds. T. F. Mason '30, captain of the University squad this season, who tied with Tupper last year to establish the meet record, is picked to win the event again this season, and should stand a good chance of shading his own mark. Meinig and Rosenthal are two Cornell men who are good at this distance.
