nelrs calculations In their events, tho Red
and Blue would have an advantage which
ought to land them IN first place.
Yale's chances depend upon the even
ness OF the dght between Pennsylvania
and Cornell. and the chances OF some
other institution sltpping In ond reducing
the points OF both these big rivals. Yale
Is fortunate In being strong right where
Pennsylvania and Cornell are weak and
not having many outsiders hkely to re-
duce her point total Consequently. II
Cornell and Pennsylvania cut eacn Others
throats, 90 to speak, and Yale either
maintains hof advantage In the other
strength a Yale victory Is not at all I'M
likely.
There has been the usual supply Of
hard-luck stories from ell the colleges
reports OF pulled tendons, sprained ankles
and sickness. Some OF these are myths
pure and simple, while others may or
may not be true Some OF the reports
are. OF course. exaggerated. and II is well
to remember the words OF Mike Murphy
that sick men don't win points in the
these classic games q man must be in
the pink OF condition. Consequently that
university whose trainer can have his men
on hand with the maximum number right
on edge has decided advantage.
Craig the Best Splinter.
One man is the favorite for both OF
the sprints. He is r. c. Craig of Michi-
gan Last year Craig ran second to
RamsdeIl in the loo yards and won the
30 yards. This year Ramsdell is aosent,
Foster Of Harvard is a wreck and the
other men are second ratsrs. so that
Craig looks to be a sure double winner.
He showed by his work in the Syracuse
meet Saturday that he is in rare condi-
ton. The fight for the other places will
be between Thatcher. Reilly and Blei-
stein OF Yale, Minds Of Pennsylvania.
Cooke of Princeton and Ford Of Cornell.
These men will fight their hardest for
the remaining points, With the chances
about even between Thatcher. Minds and
Ford. Minds Is the most experienced.
but he has not shown his old form this
year.
Passing on to the quarter-mile, Nc
Arthur of Cornell has run the fastest 40
yards this year. Against Princeton ne
did 40 % seconds Reidpath of Syracuse
won the event last year and would prob
ably be the favorite this spring but for
the breakdown he sustained through try
ing to do the work of three men In dual
meets. Simonds Of Harvard, and keck OF
and either is likely to bother Macarthur
The dark horse of this event is Hough
Of Pennsylvania, who ran Macarthur a
close race right to the tape two weeks
ago with scarcely any training. Had he
not suffered a breakdown a year ago and
been threatened with another this year.
Hough would be one of the fastest quar-
ter-milers in the country. II he reports
In shape he looks like a sure point win
ner. Smith of Pennsylvania, who finish
ed fifth year ago, is merely hope with
the QuakerS.
The half-mile is an open race. Putnam
of Cornell. by virtue of his victory against
Pennsylvania in 1.56 30 is the logical
favorite. but IL is question whether or
not he can repeat. 1t is fact that his
victory over Bodley OF Pennsylvania was
a great surprise to his teammates. sew
eral Of whom doubted his ability to repeat
at the intercollegiate. This race Is likely
TO be dual affair between Cornell and
Pennsylvania. with Putnam and Jones
pitted against PAUL.. Bodley, Foster and
lowering or Boyle. PAUL is naturally
the best half-miler Pennsylvania has. but
he will be used first in the mile and be
obliged to repeat in the half-mile. To
beat him Putnam will have to be rum
ming his best, while the other four Penn
sylvanians can all beat IS. Should Penn
sylvania make a killing in this race the
Quakers would be on Easy street.
There is no question that Jones is the
logical favorite for the mile. though this
is not saying he will win It, Unless Han
nival of Michigan shows wonderful speed
this will be a duel between Jones and
PAUL. The two men have met twice this
year and Jones has won both times. His
wonderful running beat PAUL in the
Pennsylvania relays and a week later he
beat him in the dual meet, though IL
required AIS 4-5 TO accomplish II. PAUL
