Comparison of Strength of the Two
Teams Made by the Yale News.

Teams Made by the Yale News.
Concerning the Yale-Harvard duel
athletic meet to be held a week from
following to say: In view of the fact
that the Yale-Harvard dual meet will
be held week from next Saturday, a
comparison of the strength of the two
teams and the probable winners in the
different events is of considerable inter-
est. 1t Is expected that the meet will
be very closely contested, the chances Of
winning being slightly in Harvard's ia
vor. The fact that should Harvard
win this year she will gain permanent
possession of the challenge trophy cup
lends an additional interest to the meet.
Yale will be strong in both the 100
and 220-yard dashes, as Blount, War
rem, Gleason, Doudge, Conway and
Boardman are more than a match for
Roche, Butler e. H. Smith, Clerk and
Burke of Harvard. A. M. Butler, 1902,
of the Worcester high school, won both
the sprints in the Harvard class games
in rather slow time Yale should have
no difficulty in winning a first and per-
haps a second in each of these events.
race of the day, as Captain Fisher and
H. H. Fish, who last year ran sensa-
tional dead heat, will again meet in this
event, T. e. Burke, who was last year
debarred from representing Harvard,
because of the eligibility rule, and D.
Boardman, 1902, who made such re-
markable showing last Saturday, should
be very evenly matched. Dupee, Ord
way and Luce are slightly superior to
Clerk, Dean and Schweppe of Harvard.
At present Yale seems to have no real
ly first class men in the half. Ordway,
who won this event last year, will prob
ably be unable to run the half this year.
j. P. Adams, Brennan, Poynter and L.
M. Thomas are hardly equal to Bush,
Draper Ruhl and Ledyard of Harvard,
though Yale may possibly win first
place.
In the mile, Yale seems sure of the
first two places, as D. Grant who has
been Harvard's mainstay in this event
for so long, has graduated. c. B.
Splitter, H. P. Smith, S. B. Chittenden,
FL. Speer and M. Scudder ought to
gather in at least two places Harvard's

able to run because of faculty restric-
lions. Morse of Harvard, who won third
in the Intercollegiate last spring. should |
win the low hurdles easily, with Con-
verse second. III. S. Mead 1902, who |
prepared at Hotchkiss, has made the |
best showing of the Yale candidates. In
the high hurdles, Hallowell, another in
winner, should defeat with
out difficulty Fncke, 1901 S., who is at
present Yale's best man. A third in
each event is all that can be expected
All three places in the pole vault
should go to Yale. r. G. Clapp, B.
Johnson and w. E. Selin can all clear
more than eleven feet, which none of
the Harvard men at present are able to

Yale's chances in the high jump are
only fair. E. G. Waller can hardly be
counted as winner, being in poor CON

yard are all about equal and good for
almost six feet. G. M. Smith, 1901, is
showing promise, and may win a place

shot put as none Of Yale's men in this
vent are first class. D. r. Francis, r.
B. Robertson and X. Gile have made the
,est showing so far.
A. w. Ristine, Harvard freshman,
hould win the broad jump, as he has
lone 81 feet IL inches under poor con-
litons. Berger, who won third place
asst year, Chisholm and Clapp will he

ard.

hould take first place with Boal Sec

est record in the class games, may Sc

hrowing over 100 feet at present.
To sum up, Yale will be strong in the
prings. the distance runs, and the pole
ault; Harvard seems sure of nearly all
he field events and of the both the hur-
les.
