bert in fine form, IL can be seen that
Richards the best of the Yale trio, will
nave TO run as be never ran before to de-
| feat the speedy Briton.
In the half mile and mile races Ya,e's
chances OF victory are exceedingly slim.
f. S. Horan, president of the Cam bridge
Athletic club, can run any distance from
a half mile to five miles in record break
ing time. Of late he has been paying
particular attention to the half mile mis-
best winning time being 1 :56. Bredin
| has beaten him in triple faster time than
this, but Horan ran Bredin to head.
| Like Fitz Herbert, Horsn is not pifted
with an extraordinary burst of speed. He
| is a steady, consistent racer, keeping a
| terribly stiff pace at all stages of the race.
Horan is expected to compete in the i'm
| ternational games under the auspices of
| the New York Athletic club in Septem-
ber, and by October 5th, the d-te of the
Yale.Cambridge games, should be in
fine fette.
w. E. Lutyens. the banner man of
Cambridge, in the mile race is almost a
wonder at the distance. He recently suf-

plon amateur record to do it, The time
OF this race was ALI. 1t is play for Luv-
tens to run mile in four minutes and
twenty seconds, while Morgan, the best
mile man in Yale's list. has never done
better than four minutes and tweny-seven
seconds. Morgan is running better now
than he ever did before, but there is little
chance. of his being speedy enough to
worry Lutvens.
In the remaining events the Yale bows
count upon taking the measure of the
Cam bridge men.
In the l2o yards hurdle Cady Is expected
to dispose of Pilkington and Fletcher
with ease. Pilkington must not be taken
too cheaply, as he has made the jumps In
sixteen and one-half seconds. In slower
time than this. however he has been
beaten more than once, and it can hardly
be taken as true criterion of his speed.
Ihe nigh Jump may prove q puzzler.
f. n. Jennings can go as high as ii We
feet ten inches, while the limit of his
partner is two inches less. Jennings is
expected to do better than five feet ten
inches by the Englishmen, but if their
sopes are not realized both Sheldon and
Thompson hold him safe.
The long Jump will be one of the finest
struggles OF the day. Sheldon of Yale
and Mendelshon of Cambri will prob
ably fight 1t out. Sheldon can come close
to the twenty.tbree-foot mark on an off
day.
Mendelsohn, who is new man. in the
field this year. has been credited with re-
markable work in private. His best pub
lie jump is twenty-five feet four and one
half inches. made in the games against
Oxford. Unless he does much better than
her list of victories.
The shot-putting and weight-throwing
should be easily captured Yale. Hickok
can always be depended upon to put the
shot over the forty-foot mark, while Wat
son, the best OF the English strong men,
has never exceeded thirty sewn feet nine
inches.
1t is the same with the hammer-throw.
ing. R. B. Johnson's best throw is 10s
feet two and one-half inches, while De la
Pryme, his comrade is a dozen feet be-
hind that mark. Hickok holds the col
legiate record at 1876 feet seven inches.
and 1t should he the me.est play for him
to win in this event.
On this basis Yale should land the 100
yards run, the hurdle race, the high
jump, the shot-putting and hammer
throwing. Cambridge should win the
800 yards, the quarter, the half, and the
mile races. Yale counts upon landing
the long jump also., and should it do SO
would be an easy winner.
