HARTARD NAY WIN MEET
Seems to Hare Slight Gail Orer
Yale on Track and Field.

Aale and Harvard will meet in their dual track
and field contest at New Haven tomorrow The
meet promises to be as close as that between
Princeton and Yale last Saturday. when the
latter won by the narrow margin of four points
1t is hard to forecast the result. If man is
off form it is likely TO tip the balance in the
other teams favor, it did at Princeton.
If the men perform up to their records Har-
ward should win, but by hardly more than half
a dozen points. Yale has the advantage Of being
at home, but the loss of Torrey, her best sprint
er, viii offset this Harvard showed well bal
anced team two weeks ago, when Dartmouth
was taken into camp by the score Of S3 to "a
points. This meet was held in a cold. drizzng
rain and the records made then cannot be con-
sdered criteriOns. Last year Harvard beat
Yale by 57la to 461s points.
For the dashes the Crimson will depend upon
Dodd. Lockwood and Dodge. while Yae's main
stays win be Burch and Twitchen Harvard
has all the better OF the argument Yale should
win first place in the quarter-nie run, with
Cohalon. although he will be pushed to the
limit to beat Young of Harvard. F. B. Par
sons. of Yale, has only to run 10 form TO win
the haIf-mile easily while Van Brunt. Of Har-
ward, may be second.
Mnot and MADDEN. Of Harvard. will probably
be first and second respectively in the one-mile
run. Splitter should take the other two points
for Yale. Crosby and Groves. of Harvard are
the first and second choices for the two-mile
race. Neither university has any remarkable
performers in the long distance runs.
There may be some surprises in the hurdle
races, but the Crimson athletes seem to he the
better men. Rand, of Harvard, will run in
both races and he may score ten points. Howe,
Of Yale may defeat him over the high sticks
but IT seems highly improbable. Rand's victory
over Shaw, Of Dartmouth in 90 seconds, stamps
him sterling performer.
When II comes 10 the field events honors seem
pretty evenly divided, with the odds slightly
favoring Yale Harvard has little chance
against Captain Marshall and Sisson in the
high jump, although Roosevelt may squeeze
into second place Knox. OF Yale. ought to be
able to heat Stephenson, Of Harvard. in the
broad jump without coming within several
inches Of his record. The pole vault is always
an uncertain event. Last Saturday the Prince
Just graZed the bar at II feet 3 inches and
won the meet. He meets Grant. of Harvard,
this time and he will have TO do better than
il feet inches 70 win. Linn. Of Yale, should
be the third man.
Harvard is the stronger in the weights The
Cambridge men expect TO win first honors in
the shot put and hammer throw They seem
to have good cause for their hopefuness. for
Stephenson and Kersberg are two hard men to
beat. Burnham, of Yale, put the shot nearly
~ feet week ago, and If he can repeat on
Saturday he should be second. Parks throw Of
139 feet u inches in the Princeton game Will be
far enough TO score at least three points for
Yale
Yale has the great ter number of stars. Har-
Yards team is more evenly balanced. and thus
more TO be feared. The meet win be so close
however. that the undergradua viii have
plenty 10 interest them.
70 Points in the various contests counting five
for first place. two for second and one for third.
may be scored a follows:
