Yale,s Mott Haven Hopes.

II OF hCnsQOH-OuL- -Ql-Lut-
Yale has won tho intercollegiate cham
pionsihp at track athletics, and this year
the indications are that she will repeat
the feat.
Close followers of the track team figure
out the result of the meet Of the Goth as
follows: Yale, about 80 points: Univer
sity OF Pennsylvania, 20 to 30 points, Har-
ward. IL to 10 The remainder are likely
to be scattering, Georgetown, represented
by the worlds champion, Is. j. Wefers
taking 10 points, and Princeton six or
seven points.
In New York il has been rumored for
some time that Wefers will not compete
in the sprints. II this is So Yale's score
should be increased, as she has a fine lot
of short distance runners. Jarvis of
Princeton ana Hoffman OF the University
of Pennsylvania are thought TO be Yale S
strongest competitors.
Graf, Yales strongest man, Will not
be able to compete, owing TO the conul-
tion of the tendon he strained in the Har-
ward games q week ago. He will not run
before fall, IL then.
Quinlan of Fordham University, who
ran so we'll in the recent Columbia games,
is regarded as dangerous man in the
sprints but the best estimate that can
be given at Yale CT the finish in the
l00. Yards Is that Wefers will win first
Byers or Jarvis second, with, perhaps,
Maybury or Quinlan taking place.
In tho. 220-yard dash. the same men
will compete, except that Yale has u
star in the person OF Tom Fisher. He
should win second TO Wefers' first, and
will give Wefers a hot rub. Either May
bury Quinlan, Byers or Jarvis Is able TO
take third place.
No one here questions the claim Of
Hollister of Harvard to the quarter 1t is
not believed that Tom Burke of Boston

is in great shape. Holister is sure of the
half-mile, too, but Yale trainers think
that Hinckley can hold second.
In the mile tie greatest collection of
cracks that ever tore down an intercol-
legiate track will meet. Orton Of
Pennsylvania is not doubted here as n
winner with Dick Grant of Harvard.
Cregan of Princeton, Wright of Brown

Ludwig Of Cornell is figured rs the
winner of the bicycle race, although Ray
Dawson and Fearing OF Columbia are
formidable.
Yale has a cinch on the high hurdles.
Perkins is sure to win. barring accidents,
and THOMPSON and Van Ingen should
come next. In the low hurdles, Perkins
will get first handily with probably Morse
of Harvard second, and Van lngcn third.
