have got first place. but ne will not run this
year. The chief thing that may upset Jarvis's
victory is that Pennsylvania may put In the
long legged Kraenzlein in this contest, and he
would quite likely win over Jarvis. Princeton
thinks that Jarvis has also chance at the 20
yard dash. and, while the Tigers have no one
in the one-quarter mile of any account. they
expect to take both the half mile and mile runs
and also get place in the two mile run.
Other performers whose work goes to make
Princeton feel little cocky are freshman and

win the event. In the high jump, also. Prince

the third and fourth places which her lesser
athletes may obtain, the Princeton contingency

THE WONDERFUL QUAKER CAPTAIN.
1t must, however, be borne in mind that
Pennsylvania starts with splendid lead hav-
ing practically three first prizes. with her cap
tain. Kraenzlein, a sure winner in both tbs
hurdle and the broad jump. The Quakers
are not strong in the other contests though
they have one or two good long distance men.
and they count upon McCracken to win the
hammer throw. 1t Is quite possible. however,
that Plaw of California, may take the first
place in the hammer throw. and that all Penn
sylvanias chances for first place in the shot put
will be knocked out by Beck, of Yale. Harvard
believes herself to have an almost thing
for second place in both the hurdle races: Sec
ond place on the broad jump; first place in the
high jump; several points in the long distances
enough scattering to land her finally in second
place 1t will be at a glance that should
Harvard's expectations be realized, some OF
the calculations as just set down emanating
from Princeton and Pennsylvania will have
to be ruthlessly set aside.
1t seems hardly possible to figure Yale better
than good fourth but the Blue thinks other
wise. on this theory: Yale has two three stars
on whom she relies to bring her enough first
points to run up her score. and she counts upon
Harvard's uniformly good but rather ordinary
performers (who won so many second and third
places in the dual meet to be outdistanced by
better men from the other colleges. In this
figuring neither Columbia California has
been taken much into account, though several
points ought to fall to both of those universities
while Cornell and Syracuse are each going 10

some points.
