CAMBRIDGE, May 10.-The one event to which
Harvard athletic men are looking forward with
hope and confidence Is the dual meeting with
Pennsylvania next saturday. The track team
has now been In training nearly four months.

In comparison with the other colleges remains
to be seen. Harvard expects IA majority OF
points In the sprints. Her qua~rtet-Bigelow,
Redpath, Roche, and Eaton ARE all doing 10 l.5

three. In the quarter, Vincent is just getting
into proper trim, and. with n good day and
track, ought TO do close to 80 seconds. Capt.
Brewer and HOLSTER are also likely to run In
this event, in which case Fish and Marshall,
both 5l-sccond men, will have to be left Mt home.
Harvard men do not think HOLSTER can be
headed in the half. He ought to be good for
