AT THE HARTARD-YALEG GAMES TO-
 MORROW.

The Men the Crimson and the Blue VIII
 Depend on to Score in saturday's Games
 The Harvard sheiI-Anateurs Who Talk
 of a Match Rowing Race.
 A Yale estimate of the Harvard-Yale games, to be held at Cambridge on Sat-
 urday, gives Yale 50 points out of a possible 112, leaving 52 for Harvard. The estimate is considered a too favora- ble one for Yale, aus the games will be held on Harvard's grounds, and very close score is looked for by unbiased Judges. Yale figures out her points In this way: Hammer throw, points; shot put T; pole vault, 6; running broad
 jump, 5; running high jump, 8; two- mile bicycle race, 3; mile walk, 5; l2O- yard hurdles, 5; 220-yard hurdles, 8; mile run, 6; half-mile run, 1; 440-yard dash, 8; 220 yard dash, 8; 100 yard dash,8; total, 60. In the first place, &
 better and faster meeting is looked for this year than the one of 1894, as very few men left college last year. Sev-
 eral new records for these games are due A hurdle record, with others for
 the Emile bicycle, mile run, 22O-yard
 dash, pole vault hammer throw, shot put and broad jump, is talked of. It is
 toss-up which team will win. Har- ward is weakest in field events. Hickok,
 of course, with A feet for the shot and 135 feet for the hammer, Is regarded
 as a sure winner of those events. But
 even if Hickok met with an accident Yale has Chadwick, Brown and Colt, all good ones. Kershaw and Thomas, last years champions, with Allen, are counted on as sure to win the pole vault for Yale against Stickney, liar vard's best man. Sheldon is broad-jump- ing 23 feet for Yale, and Stickney cov- cred 22 feet 21s inches in the last Har- yard games. Thompson of Yale is high jumping 5 feet il inches, with Sheldon doing feet 10 inches, Harvard, with Paine, Sticl7ney and Clark, is looked upon as good for a first in this event. Elliott and Burdett, the Harvard cy- clists, are the men regarded as too fast for Hill and Heidrich, the Yale men.
 Yale will count on Thrall to win first place in the mile walk, for he is doing close to minutes, but Harvard Is equally confident of winning with Phil lips. Both teams have fine hurdling material. For Yale, Cady is going fast, but cannot be relied upon in a hard finish. Perkins has defeated Cady sev- eral times in the low hurdles and cov- cred the higher fences in 0:16 1-5. Yale expects Perkins and Cady to share sec- ond and third places in the low hur- dles at least Bremen is Tarvard's crack man over the low hurdles, and he is looked upon as fast enough to car ny the crimson to the front on Saturday and also in the intercollegiate. Nun roe has a good chance against Yale in the high hurdles. Yale has Morgan for a favorite in the mile run. He is in his best form th1is year and can cover the distance under 4:30 with less effort than has ever been displayed by a Yale man. Morgan will be backed up by Cleveland and Hinckley, two freshmen. Coolidge and Newell, Harvard's mile runners, are looked upon as quite able to make Morgan hustle when it comes to the finish. Yale seems to be weak 1 est in the half mile run. Scoville and Crane, with Chubb saved for the 40 yards, are the best men, and not much | above the average. Vincent and Hol- lester of Harvard should be good for | first and second Vincent, Hollester, | Marshall and Bingham of Harvard are | all good for about 0:51 in the quarter, | and they make a fine team. Bennett l and Chubb are Yale's fastest men in | the quarter. Chubb, it is said, can | run the distance in close to 0:50, with | Bennett only second slower. In the | 220-yards Yale has Wade (F'rank), who | is running in fine form and Is expected | to do 0:22 on Saturday. Wade has plen- l ty of sand Byers, De Sibour and Gar | van have also been showing consider | able speed at this distance. Burnett l has been running 100 yards in 0;10 1-5, | and Yale will rely upon him for that | event. Other sprinterTs are Byers and I Wade. Richards is out of it owing to a football knee which injures his stride. | Redington was trying for the LOO, but a baseball engagement will prevent him from starting on Saturday. Harvard's | sprinters are Redpath, Bigelow, Con- terman and Bremen, and each one is good for 0:10 2-5 in the 100. On form it will be finely contested meeting, and Trainers Lathrop of Harvard and of Yale know that it will, ac- cidents not considered, be a fight from l to end. Harvard's strongmen are not much in evidence when 1t comes l to competition with the weights If the cIimsonp was stronger on the field in this department she could meet Yale with confidence As it is no one can safely foreshadow the result, although-I appearances favor Yale.
