four of the thirteen events scheduled entirely new
men in YaIe-Harvard dual meets will be entered
and will be expected TO pull out first or second
places While this fact makes the meet next week
decidedly interesting it also makes 1t less open
TO forecast than is usually the fact On the pest
OF authority at Yale in track matters it IS stated
that certain outcome of the meet can be prophe-

Crimson athletes will take the victory back with

erected opposite the tape and the field event ground
and more seats have been put up on the opposite
side Of the field. An innovation this year at HaIe
is the establishment of telephone service between
the track and the clubhouse a hundred yards
away by which the waiting men in the quarters
can be kept in constant touch with the perform

rroned by the msrshals.
The convenience OF this has been demonstrated
already in the class games held at Yale Field this
year, and will be appreciated by the Harvard men
when they arrive The clubhouse has been reno
waited also and many conveniences put IN 50
