Distance Runs May Surprise
That the mile record of 4 min. 26 4-5 sec. set by Captain Reid of Harvard in 1928 is likely to fall seems to be only a matter of how Coach Farrell will run his men. Should N. P. Hallowell '32 run in this one event he is capable of shading this mark, having a 4.25 mile to his credit in the K. of C. meet. Last year David Cobb '31 won this event, and conserved his energy sufficiently to take a first in the 1,000-yard as well. There is a possibility therefore that Coach Farrell will run Hallowell in the 1,000, or two-mile, depending upon how the tide of victory is swinging. Levering, star Cornell two-miler might likewise enter this event and attempt the iron-man act. Hendricks, another Ithacan entry is capable of doing a 4.28 mile, and is likely to be a threat. Dartmouth entries in this run seem a bit weak, if preliminary times prove anything, and Huckins who has clocked the distance in 4.31 appears the only threat. Coach Farrell has entered his entire squad, of distance men, and it is difficult to forecast just who will wear the Crimson colors Monday night. Cobb and G. N. Barrie '32 seem most logical entries at present, but it is in the three distance runs that Crimson horses are often uncovered.
Cornell Excells in Weight Events
As has been the case for the past three years, the Cornell entries in the weight events have been of unusually high cali- bre. This year Weisa in the weight throw, and Levy in the shot are no exceptions, and are slated to take first in their respective events, Captain Crossier of Dartmouth should take second in the weight throw, with P. N. Vonckx '31 a possible Crimson point winner. Bromberg of Dartmouth ought to provide keen competition for Levy in the shot, since both have bettered 45 feet, and their best performances are less than a foot apart. Both of these events will be contested in the Briggs Cage on Soldiers Field, Monday afternoon.
Relay Quartet Fast
One of the most exciting races on the program will be the relay between the three teams, with the Crimson quartet favored to win with Dartmouth a close second. This event will doubtless be another record breaker, since the Crimson team of Hennessey, Munroe, Record and Cummings defeated the Yale quartet last Saturday at the B. A. A. games in faster time than the Triangular Meet record, which was established last winter by a team made up of three of the above-named men. Tupper was the sole man lost by graduation, and his place has been taken by Record, whose work against Engle, Yale's star quarter, in their lap of the relay last Saturday gave promise of some unusually fast times likely to be turned in before he finishes his college career.
50-yd. Dash
In this event, it is, as always, difficult to pick the winners, because of the element of chance which inevitably enters into a race so short. A. L. Watkins '31, who won the event last year has been recently recovering from an injured leg, and is therefore an unknown quantity as far as this meet is concerned. F. V. Nissen '30 who got a third last week at the B. A. A. games, and J. B. Hawes '32 are both fast men as well as Captain Mason. Dartmouth will have Stevens, who took second last year, and Cornell's hopes are pinned upon Yocum and Persbacker, its sophomore stars.
45-yd Hurdles
Alcorn of Dartmouth won this last season, and should repeat, with F. J. Mardulier '30 a close second. Coach Hillman of Dartmouth, however, has strong hopes that his sophomore star, Sawyer, whom he considers another Monty Wells in the making, is a likely winner of second place. Clark of Cornell, however, should be at least a one point winner for the Ithacans. This man had the misfortune to fall in his heat last winter, and so has been overlooked by many in comparing the respective teams. Another dark horse who may enter this event is E. E. Record '32, who is one of the best outdoor hurdlers in the University.
Broad Jump
Donner of Dartmouth is the outstanding man in this event, although beaten last year by W. O. Rowe '31. The Greenman, however, has developed considerably since last season, and has been jumping consistently over 23 feet. Canby won the jump last year with a leap of 22 ft. 6 in. Woodruff, Cornell star in this event is on probation, and the next best man for the Ithacans is Williams, who has never done much better than 22 feet.
Pole Vault
This should be one of the most closely contested of the field events, with the winner almost certain to be forced into a record breaking height. Oscar Sutermeister '32, because of his work last Saturday at the B. A. A. meet, is slightly favored over Colyer of Cornell. Last year there was a triple tie for first between Colyer, C. E. Dunlap '30, and Cleaver of Harvard. Dartmouth has entered Noyes, who has cleared 13 feet, and another tie is likely to ensue again this year for at least one of the positions.
