of Yale in the Harvard meet The re-
naming points in this race ought to be
| taken by French of Cornell and Bonsack
| Of Pennsylvania Goholan of Yale.
| Just now the half mile is anybody's race.
| This is due to the fact that Cornell has lost
| Carpenter the winner of 1906. and Parsons
| of Yale, the record holder is hopelessly out
! Of condition. Unless some miracle Is work
+ ed the Eli he is hardly to be considered
| in the scoring. Ramey of Michigan has the
| best record to date for this event. as he did
| 1.57 As on an indoor track last winter.
| Townsend of Cornell, who second in
| 1896 is fast man, but is not thought to
be better than 159. Ramey has been i'll a
good part of the spring with tonsilitis, and
| unless he has fully recovered he can hardly
be counted on for first place 1t is more
| than likely that Taylor of Pennsylvania Will
| start in this race. That was the original
! intention before he was injured late in
April. That the colored wonder is moving
along in very near his old form shown
! last week. when he did 40 l-5 seconds for
! the quarter. If he suffers no i'll effects in
! the quarter he is almost certain to win the
| score in the half. Indeed it need occasion
| no surprise IL he should win the event for
! he can jog the distance in 2 minutes and
! has never been pushed to his limit. Baker
| of SwarthmOre, who was third in 1905 and
| 1906. must be reckoned with in this event.
The mile race will furnish duel between
Haskins Of PENNSYLVANIA and Coe Of Mich
| igan. The Quaker has done slightly the
! better work. for he went the distance in
PENIS interdepartment games in 422 %.
one second better than tae record. Coe has
| done almost as fast, and If he races Has
| kins all the way the record for this event
| Is quite certain to be lowered. Lewis of
Cornell Minot and MADDEN of Harvard.
Maloney of Michigan and Beck of Pennsyl
vania ought to fight it out for the other
points
The two-mile race is likely to be a bruis-
ing struggle between Rowe Of Michigan.
Magoffin of Cornell, Esele of Princeton and
nd nf Ivan
ditions favor the Michigan man. who In
his freshman year set new western rec
ord of $50 without being pushed. He is
very rugged and has lots of speed. The
other four men mentioned above can all do
about $50 for the distance. so that the win
ner will not be allowed to loaf.
The high hurdle race should be a great
fight between Hubbard of Amherst. Car
-ells Of Michigan and Shaw of Dartmouth
Although Shaw has made the best record
of the year. 10 2-5. at PENIS relays. he
Shaw is not as strong as Garrells or Hub |
bard and is likely to be beaten by both of |
these Thesis men in the finals :, Fourth Place
colt of Cornell or Mccullough of Pennsyl- !
vania. Hubbard looks to be a more likely |
winner In the low hurdles. with Garrels |
second, Young of Syracuse third and Arm |
strong of Princeton or Shaw of Dartmouth |
in fourth place.
The Field Events.
For the high jump Moffitt of Pennsylvania |
who has been jumping consistently better |
than feet Is slight favorite over Mar |
shall of Yale, the winner of the last two |
years. 1t would not be surprising If the |
record in this event were equaled or bet |
tered. Sommer and Roosevelt of Harvard |
look to be the best men for third and fourth |
places. Until last week Knox of Yale was !
the favorte for the broad jump. He did
% feet against Harvard within inches Of |
his 1906 record. But in the Michigan-Ohio |
meet last Saturday French Of Michigan
cleared % feet in the broad jump on his
were % feet inches or better. Further |
more, Heath. also of Michigan did % feet 3 |
inches. which makes him sure Of third place |
II he can duplicate it, Even Michigan men |
had not relied very much on these two men. |
so there is good reason for the renewal Of
enthusiasm of the Wolverines. Stephenson I
Of Harvard and SimonS of Princeton have
been doing good work In this event and |
ought to get something out of It.
Dray Of Yale. who made new worlds |
record Of IL feet inches for the pole vault, |
ought to win the event. although 1t is in |
variably the most uncertain of the program. |
Dray has been vaulting IL feet and bet |
ter very consistently. and should have no |
trouble in raising the present record of IL |
feet 1OA inches Allen Of Syracuse, who |
did II feet LIS inches at the Penn relay |
carnival. ought to get second place. Gilbert
of Yale Jackson of Cornell and Grant OF |
Harvard should divide up the remaining |
points.
In the hammer throw ftOrr or syracuse |
ought to repeat his victory Of last year, be- |
cause there are few good men in this event. |
Cook Of Cornell is picked for second place |
while Foweu of Pennsylvania and kers- |
burg of Harvard ought to get the remain |
Ing points II Garrells Of Michigan and |
kreuger Of Swarthmore keep up their good |
work in the shot put one or the other is |
likely to get Becks record of 40 feet. Kreu- |
ger has done the best work of the year
by putting the leaden ball As feet inches. |
Garrells is credited with having done as ,
we'll in practice but he has never succeed |
ed duplicating 1t In competition. Stephen
second: while White of Cornell looks good |
enough to get fourth place. as in 1906.
Pennsylvania Should Win.
Based on the foregoing calculations. Penn
sylvania ought to win the meet by slight
margin over Michigan. with Cornell in third
place. AS was pointed out at the begin
ming, these predictions may be sadly over
turned Cornell will certainly have O. bet
ter team than her record shows. The
Ithacans do not have many men who are
capable of getting firsts, but both their
1905 and 1906 championship teams were re-
markedly well rounded out and the 1907
team will have similar characteristics. So
even IL Cornell does not win so many firsts
as her opponents. she will get enough sec
onds thirds and fourths to be dangerous ali |
the way.
Last year Cornell scored % points in the
quarter, half mile and two-mile runs But |
this year the loss Of Carpenter in the half,
the presence of Taylor Of Pennsylvania In
the quarter and Of Mchgan's stars in the |
mile and two-mils runs. ought to cut down
