Utah's Chances Good.
Utah's chances for winning the meet are
splendid, From careful study OF all the
men and their records, II would seem Inn
possible for Utah TO land less than sec

the University or Utah and the Univer-
sity OF Colorado. In dual meet 1t seems
almost certain that Utah could defeat
Boulder, but the presence OF the other
colleges In the meet tend 10 favor Boul-
ders chances and lessen Utah's-
To begin with. there are some events
which can be safely placed even before
the meet. Utah Is sure OF, first and second
In the pole vault. Adams will easily win
tho event, while "Cuddy Russell Is as
Colorado athletes can do. while these two
supple Utahns have both scaled the bam-
boo pole at eleven feet and some odd
inches.
In the high jump it looks as though
Utah has a mortgage on first and second.

Adams, Hedges and Hunt-who have bet
tered that mark this season. These are
Utah's strongholds, and she should get
l6 points here.
Other Fighting Chances.
In addition. there are a score OF places
where Maddock's men have lighting
chance for first place and almost cinch
on second place. In the $50 yard run both
Pitt and Hume have chance for first.
while Ii seems almost certain that one or
them Will land second. Pratt Of Boul.
der holds the record-21O. Both Pitt and
Hume have clipped off the half-mlle in
practice at this time, and as both run
we'll in competition their chances look
bright. In the outcome OF the discus puz-

Swapp May Win Broad Jump.
The broad jump offers another equally
pugzling problem. Swapp has record OF
twenty two feet but that was made last
year. Since being hit with the discus the
best he has done this year Is nineteen

meet but Maddox declares that he will
chloroform his ankle for the event, dead

no telling what will be the result. Going
by records, Utah has no chance In the

Hard Game in Short Dashes.
A study OF the records for the 100 and
2a0-yard dashcs would Indicate that Capt.
Moore and Parke are up against it. No
one has recognized this more than
"NfuZzS" and no one has worked harder
than he to prevent what seems to be the
Inevitable. Warner OF Boulder is the man
scheduled to win In the sprints. He has
one-nfth OF q second better than Moore's
time In the 900 the men hold relatively
the same position. Despite these records,
there are some Utahns who are unwilling
to concede Moore's defeat until Warner
turns the trick, Parke, the other Utah
spr.nter. is also expected to cut In close.
