All these nine events save the three
mile. are like tho American, and this year
in the intercollegiate games there was
twO-mue run But Yale and Harvard
have men who can take care Of the long
run well enough
As viii be seen I'm tho above table
there Is no walkovcr ono way or tho other.
AS the records stand. America has an ad-
vantage. but am Englishman who could
do the above time on the day on when
they were made will more than beat
his time and distance on good day.
Taking this and the advantage Of cli-
mate and home grounds which the hns-
fish will have. and tho chances OF victory
arc about as even as they could be.
SOME OF THE MEN
I'm the hundred the American team will
probably be Quinan of Harvard and
Blount Of Yale Quinlan is The old Ford
ham runner, and on a good day Us a lO-
second man. Blount too has run IN I'D
seconds but tho hitch comes with mo
rumar that Thomas of oxford is good for
at least 10 and perhaps better
The quartcr-mile ought 90 Dee an Amerl-
can event with a good deal Of ease. Tom
Burke. the Harvard quarter-miler. viii
probably be saved for the hat ana,
Boardman OF Yale. who Is good for ~,
with Fisher or Luce of Yale who can do
70 fiat, Will make up the Haryard-fale
team.
Jim tho half this will give Burke a
chance % win another first for the
Americans. Tie can DO 1853 IN this event.
and with Adams of Vale who has done
1857 and better I'm practice. inis event
looks like am American. This arrange
ment of letting Burke run In the hah
was tried az New York in tho Mott Haven
games. where. though be was in bad
form he won with ease.
Burke has been reported as lame, ar
nictod with Indigestion. catarrh or the
stomach and other diseases. but as "a mat
ter OF fact De is IN fair condition and can
be counted on. This Is his second trip
abroad He went with the Oiym-
pic team I'm 96 10 Athens, where he won
the 900 and COO and other events Then ne
felt no evil effects from the climatic
changes.
Tn the mile event. for the sake OF hav-
ing moro men 10 set the pace and 20
make sure Of getting a man 10 last. three
mon will be taken. The same arrange
mcnt will be used In the three-mle run.
Who the Americans win be in these
events is a little uncertain stiil, but Spit
ger OF Yale. who does tho mile In i:5V Is
probably the best man. H. T. Smith, OF
Yale. and for Harvard Clark Will get
chances.
Footo will probably go as a three
miller Foote got place In tho mile az
New York and has done some fast work
In ether long-distance runs. He IS GOOD
runner. with no end OF endurance. Yale
will probably enter G. X. Palmer.
Tire high hurdles hnsh the list Of track
events. In these the best Englishman'
Paget- TOmlinson OF Cambridge VIII De
pltted against Fox OF Harvard and Finche
OF Yale. The Englishmen run the event
over grass. but they have agreed 20 use
movable hurdles this year FOX mas never
before this year run over grass but NJ
thinks he can do as we'll ana especially
II the course IS SPRINGER than cinders ~
will De an improvement FOX repeatedly
does i l-5s. Paget-TomlInson did 1861
on bad day which Is just what FOX
did in the rain at New Haven.
THE FIELD EVENTS.
In the field events Harvard and Yale
have a good advantage. for Americans
have spent much more time in getting up
form IN these. In tho high jump Rice,
recently elected captain Of Harvard got |
second al New York with Jump OF II /

when pushed But Adair OF Cambridge (:

shows. stu. the Harvard men are excep- /
iionally steady jumpers. and six feet Is |
A pretty high mark for an Englishman.
In the broad jump there Is a vast dr.
