struggle viii be between Harvard and Yale,
with Princeton possibly pressing both pretty
many good new men have entered college since
the beginning OF the year and her chances are
now excellent for CAPTURING The cup. &. Ii.
Fearing Jr. VIII probably be a contestant in the
running high jump, the hurdle race and the half
mile and one-ne runs. He is fairly sure OF
place in The jumping. A. II. Green has made his
reputation during the past year, rs Fearing has
done. He Is a feT at shOrt-dlstance runs aud
is unrivaled for pole-vautlng for distance, and
few weeks ago broke the college record
at the running broad jump, scoring 81 feet
inches J. p Lee is HGryard's crack
Splinter, and is said TO be unapproachabe al
220 yards. while he can do 100 yards In 10 %
seconds. He Is almost as good as Sheriff., VINO
is wonderful runner, aud has made phenom-
email record for a lad who had no athletic train
Ing whatever before entering college. Sheriff.
Is a tall, rather raw boned, Notwithstanding
youth lightly built, and is the only amateur who
ever made the 100 yards in 10 seconds There
IS not at the present time his match at the short
distances In any OF tie colleges. 1t Is likely that
lie Will be entered for bolh the 100 and 220
yards dash. Harvard will depend upon lee TO
carry on the latter, while Snerrlll of Yale NAV
capture the former even from such big and
able competitor as Cary of Princeton. who has
done the 100 yards within a fraction Of SberilPs
Time. Lee is heavier than Sheriff., and his won
deiiul speed has surprised not few Of the Col
lege cracks.
HaTvard's best bicyclist is r. Fl. F. Davis WHO
holds The intercollegiate record for TWO miles
and who lately broke the Harvard record till
now held by Greenlesf. Davis has covered the
two miles In minutes and 40 seconds and eX-
poets TO DO even better. Greenleaf however, Is
strong rider, and expects TO win this year. 1t
is said that Davis. while lie has undOubted speed,
is not as reliable at long distances as the older
man and that lie w0bbles good deal under pres
sure.
w. II. Shea, the hammer-thrower for Harvard
Is very heavy and strongly built man. ana
ought 10 have little difficulty In capturing honOrs
either at the hammer, The shot, or both. The
crack runner of the Harvard team for distance Is
w. &. Downes who made his reputation at 440
and $50 yards. He Is an even match with Dohm,
the famous PrincetOnian, the latter having wol
The quarter last year while Downcs captured The
half mile. Downes can cover the quarter in an
even so seconds and the half in two minutes
Other good Harvard men are K. r. EndicOtt a
quarter runner +. Sturgis, half-mile; o. X. Haes,
hTst-class Splinter; D. V. X. Crosby, good at the
1oo-yard dash; A. NJ, White, a mile runner, with
runner, aud j. L. Dodge, good, reliable half
mile man, f. c. Moen, WHO Will be Lees rival
ioT hrst place among the sprlnters, should not be
forgotten. Moen can cover the 100 yards 10
10 3-5 seconds. he gave Sheriff. a hard race
last year
Among the Princeton men, Dohm stands pre-
eminent with his half-mie record of l minute
55A seconds. Luther Cay Is the man chosen
to make The fight against Sheriff. of Yale for the
honors at the 100 yards, and there are many who
believe he Will capture the prize from the Grim
son. Cary has been In athletics since 1888,
when be made his first record. He also won the
championship at 10 yards at Boston, max ing the
distance In Z As seconds. He stand. better
chance OF winning the 100 yards than longer
distance, more pai ticularly as Sheriff. has lately
III,
another Princeton crack, Will compete in the
100 yards but will stand little chance alongside
OF the faster men already named. Another good
Princeton man Is ii. Ii. Janeway, who VIII COM
pete IN the hammer-ttrowing and possibly in
some OF the other events calling for great muscl-
lar prOwess.
Columbia has two star athletes who are conf
IDENTIFY expected to bring victory TO the New York
college They are ii. +. Welsh, WHO Is said TO
be The finest pole-vauter In any Of the colleges,
and Victor MapeS, The great broad jumper,
whose record OF 81 feet 912 inches has only been
eclipsed by that OF ShearmaD, formerly OF Yale,
but no longer In college. Welsh is also good
running broad jumper. Columbia depends on
Herbert Mapes 10 win the 120-yard hurdle race,
but, as there are many fine men entered, the re-
suit would seem TO be not certain In advance.
Fearing and Brown, of Harvard, and illiams
and Deming, OF Yale, all good hurdlers at
that distance.
3. Derckson OF Columbia Is q crack sprinter,
anu mas the college record for 220 yards I.
Mcllwalne VIII enter for the mile walk.
Amherst pins her confidence on Wells in the
one-nile run. and Will look for a chance in no
olher event, although she may have entries in
several. Williams College may be represented
Dul II Is somewhat doubtful, as her men have
done little TO distinguish themselves III track
athletics.
Throwing the hammer and the tug of war are
TWO events OF equal uncertainty. Allen ana AL
cock, OF Yale, Will encounter Bowser of PeunsyI-
yaDia, and Janeway OF Princeton, in The former
trained athletes 1t would be difficult TO pick out
the victor. Bowsef Is tile favorite. In the tug
Columbia and Princeton will be pretty evenly
balanced, the Harvard team being, If anything,
the lightest OF the three.
Regarded from all points the college men
themselves think the outlook rather favOrs the
crimson this year, although the various teams
have lately been doing such excellent work that
many oil the leading events. C. II. sANDIsoN.
