Algire OF Syracuse. who beat the Michi.

| man who is likely TO make trouble. There
will also be a good deal of anxiety among

! 1t is seen where Taylor of Cornell is
| going to run. He made a new Ameri-
can record for two miles last year. and
unless his teammate, Berna. can beat
him, looks to have this race at his mercy
| With the possible exception Of Goliath
Taylor looks to be the only man with q
| chance to push PAUL TO the limit, for the
two-mile champion can also run mile
under 4.25. None of the other colleges
has much to offer in the mile.
In the two miles Cornell can undoubted
| ly win first and second with Taylor and
! Berna, if both are used in this race. II
| would seem to be good policy to do this
| for there is the same chance OF scoring
eight points here as in using Taylor in
| the mile and leaving Berna to win the
two miles. The only other competitors
| who look dangerous are Watts Of State
College, with a record of 3.41: May OF
Michigan, who is as fast. and Baker OF
Pennsylvania. good for 9.45 II Taylor

may spring a surprise over the high hur-
dies. since he is a man Of great speed
Chisholm Of Yale looks to be the favorite
for the high sticks. At the relays
he won handiIy and is good for
u 3-5. Dwight Of Princeton. beat him in
the dual meet, and with his growing ex-
perience ought to be much better than
last year, and good for second or third.
Michigan has a good man in Pindar, who
did Is 3-5 seconds against Syracuse. An
other fair hurdler is Haydock OF Penn
sylvania. but he has not been very con-
sistent to date.
In the field events Yale is certain to
score the most points because the Ellis
have men who can be relied on for every
one of the field events. Harvard is also
strong in the field, but cannot expect TO
get as many points here as Yale
In the high jump the favorite seems to
be Burdick of Pennsylvania. who did
feet 31s inches last week. equaing the

and Garfield Of Yale, both Of whom are
usually good for feet 1 inch or better
Another man likely to be heard from is
Lawrence of Harvard. who did feet 1.a
inches against Yale. beating Gan

inches. This is an uncertain event at
best and the four men just mentioned
are likely TO win or divide most OF the
points. Pennsylvania has two other men

In the broad jump the favorite is
Roberts of Amherst, who did better
than % feet at the Pennsylvania re-
lays. Next to him is Little of Harvard,
whose jump Of % feet 8 inches against
Yale ought to be good enough to land
him in second place; Fitzpatrick of Yale
and Lapham of Michigan ought to fight
it out for the other points.
AS usual. Yale has the call for the
pole vault. Capt. Nelson's vault of .
feet SIS inches against Harvard is
merely another example Of his wonder

Il feet inches in the spring games,
but has not been able to repeat it since.
Next to Nelson. Parker Of Pennsylvania.

done the best work. But he is not a
consistent performer. and Holdman of
Dartmouth looks to be the better man.

There never was an intercollegiate
