Yale Seems Favcrite Over Harvard
for This Years Games.
Chief Umpire Wright on the Change
In Rules.

II Is rather unusual for Yale to he the
favorite for the annual Harvard-Yale
athletic contests, yet such seems to be
the case this year. The good work OF
the Yale athletes last year, most OF
whom are silk in college. coupled with
the fact that the games will be held in
New Haven this time, makes iale's
chance a little better han Harvard's.
The Harvard team expects to begin
regular outdoor work on the cinder track
next Monday. This is unusually early
for the candidates to get out, and
Trainer Lathrop will have plenty of time
to develop a team, II he has the material,
strong enough to a w a good chance to
win.
The list OF men, on some of whom
Harvard relies to get places in the con-
tests. includes: Garcelon and Bremen,
The hurdlers; Whitbren. Bingham, Hill'
Boardman and Storrs, runners Bloss.
Putnam and CLANCY, jumpers; Holmes
and Eliot, ~bicyclists. Harvard appears
to be strong In distance runners and to
have n fine chance to win the broad
jump with Bloss, but In the sprints, hur-
dies, weights and bicycle race, Yale
seems to have the better chance with
Richards. a 1ngen, Lyman, Hickok
and Glenny. In the mile wall, Harvard
has Endicott and Yale Bunnell, each OF
whom is expected by his college to get
uncertain. When Fearing left. college
Harvard lost a sure winner for that
event.
Chief of Umpires Harry Wright points
out that the change In rules in relation
to being hit by a pitched ball and bun
hits will throw more responsibility upon
the umpires. Everything is now left to
