Prospects of the Mott Haven Team
 Men for the High Jump and Mile
 Walk-Sprintcrs' Material Coed this
 Year - Will Yale Equal Her Last
 Years Performances.
 The prospects for the Mott Haven team this year, though even better as far as abundance of material goes, are not favor able for beating Harvard or doing much better in the Intercollegiates than winning second place, as they did last year. The two fatal weaknesses of the team lie in the mile walk and high jump events. There are absolutely no walkers in the college, as all who stand ghost of show of winning point, and the same statement is true concerning the high jump. This makes twelve points which must be given to Har- yard outright, and handicapped in this way there is but little chance of winning. In the bicycle event, which last year was also one of Harvard's "cinohes," the out look is much brighter. Tailor of Harvard has left college and Davis asserts that he will not ride this year. Yale has this year of the Yale record, and Wade, '95, who has done COS at St. Pauls, and who, it is hoped, will get back into his old form by spring. Besides these two there are sev- eral other promising candidates.
 In the half, of course, Captain Wright is the one in whom all of Yale's hopes are centered. He will easily win the event in the Yale and Harvard games, but whether he can beat Turner of Princeton at the inter collegiate remains to be seen. In the quarter are several good men, Leonard, Sanford and A11an the most prominent The sprints, too. are events which Yale ought to win with a | corps of men like Swayne, Good, Day, Allen, Fassett, Jones and Sanford, two | or three of whom are good for 10 1-5 and the rest can closely approach 10 2-5. In the broad jump are Hammond, Hart, Pond and Goes, all of whom can do about | twenty feet. The Yale. ..vaulters are Briggs, | Cartwright, Wade '93 and two or three other good men, while the murders will have Van lngen, Lyman aud several freshmen who have displayed good form during the fall. The hammer and shot are both weak. Among those who will com pete in these events are Coxe, Morrison, Stillman, Bothney and others. In the mile are Williams, Ellsworth, Curtis and Sco- vile.
