YALE'S HOPES NOT BRIGHT.
DISAPPOINTED IN THE PERFORMANCES OF
HER TRACK MEN AT CAMBRIDGE

New-Haven, Conn, May 10 (specaD.-since the
dual meet with Harvard Yae's track squad has
had only light work consisting of starts and short
runs Trainer Jim Robinson is handling his men
very carefully in order that they NAV not become
at all fine or overturned. One of the reasons that
Yale did so poorly year ago was because her men
were not physically fit but every man next Satur-
day will do all that is in him.
Yale has lost number of point winners through
graduation, and although the training this season
has brought out promising material there
is only about one man in each contest who stands
any chance of winning a point. In the Toward
Dash Ira Richards, who won against Harvard
should win third place anyway and possibly better
as he can do 10 seconds fiat. Blount has strained
a tendon and probably will start. Boardman
should win the 300 yard DASH he has shown
great speed this season. He should also get
place in the quarter mile. and may possibly win it
if his race in the 220-yard has been easy Glea-
son should fourth place. In the absence
of Adams, Yale cannot do better than third and
fourth places in the half-mile with Smith and
Brennan, respectively. Smith should also finish
second in the mile behind Cregan, of Princeton
In the two-mie Yale will not score as Teel
cannot do better than 1905 Fincke should win
third place in the high hurdles, with Thomas close
behind. Fincke, although he did not win place
in the dual meet, has improved wonderfully this
last week, and has now fully regained his form of
last year. Thomas should win point in the low
hurdles and he may be able to take third place
Coming to the field contests Yale will fall badly
behind behind, as there Is no good broad jumper high
In the high. but this is doubtful. his best record
is feet sl2 inches. Flanagan. the amateur cham
n this event has great hopes of him, but yet
Stiilman has not been sure of keeping within the
ring; If he does not overstep he may do great
work. but he can hardly defeat the veteran Nc
Cracker. Beck is counted a sure winner Of the
shot put, as he easily won against Harvard. and
Johnson should win the pole vault at trde over
II feet Adriance should win points more, as
he is only slightly inferior.
1t will thus be seen that Yale should win three
frsts, in the shot put, pole vault and 220yard dash;
two seconds, in the hammer throw and quarter
mile respectively and fair sprinkling Of thirds
