Here Cornell should get 3 points

would bring Corncll's total up 10 81
In the hammer throw Bailey Of Maine
Is picked 20 win, with McCutchcon. oil
Cornell second This would bring the
total M 20 So and with what Foss
and Milton can get in the pole vault
Cornell ought 20 be close 10 30 points
How Penn Stands.
Ted Meredith and Ferguson are
about the only absolute certa'ntles
PENNSYLVANIA has In spite Of the fact
that Wilcox Of Harvard did - sec
onds for the quarter mile last week,
Meredith is picked 70 beat him ana
70 create new intercollegiate and
world record u necessary. Meredith
has speed and endurance and heats
never bother him. Meredith ought 70
win the haf mile with moro strength
20 spare. although the quarter and hall
mile runs are exceptionally hard tor
a man 20 double up IN. Ferguson won
he low hurdles last year and was
ff.h over the high sticks. lie IS faster
this wear and the Quakers think he
will get az least eight points. They
also count on kaufman 20 get four
points in the low hurdles.
A realization OF these hopes would
give Pennsylvania p points " IN these
three men. Then there 8 Murphy, who
ought to get at least third IN t.e
hammer throw, which would bring ne
OuaEcrs will get out of the sprin.s is
q problem. II Patterson and Lippncott
can duplicate their 1918 performances,
when they scored two Hrsts, third and
p fourth in the 100 and 220-yard dashes,
thev would score 10 points between
them. Lockwood ought TO score also,
and II he does "a well as last year,
when he got three points, he would
bring the total here 20 IS. This. added
20 the IS points otherwise accounted
for. would bring the total up 70 43 and
would probably heat Cornell But the
Ouakcrs would have 70 have rare luck
20 do so we, in the spirits, and II must
be said that between the two the
CHARGES greatly favor Cornell
Harvard and Yale Strong.
Harvard may or may not be q dan
rcrous contender for first place. In
lie sprints the Crimson has Teschncr
and Foley. who have done 10 seconds
and q 4-5 seconds this year In the
ouarter-rn,le il has Wilcox, who has
beaten ~ seconds in every race he has
run this wear and once did IS seconds.
In The half-mile i has Captain Capper
and Bingham. both good FOR better than
1856. In the two-milc there Is South
worth, who has run the fastest two
miles OF the year.
The Crimson has ar even chance 20
get al least Is points IN the dashes and
distance runs Then Harvard has de-
veloped a fine high hurdler IN RICE,
who has done 1888 seconds this year.
He is sure 20 be well up IN this event.
In the high jump Harvard depends on
tombstone. With him also in the
broad Jump and Camp in the pole vault
Harvard has q chance 20 score close 20
80 points. and # four or more teams
should be very evenly matched TINS
might be enough 20 win.
Yale also has a we'll rounded team.
IN the sprints the main dependence IS
Treadway. with Wilke likely 70 get
third in the quarter. There Is no one
competent 70 score IN the nall mle
run, now that George Brown has been
lost. Poucher isn't likely 10 get bet
ter than fourth in the mile, nut
Overton has a good chance TO win the
two miles. In the hurdles Yale mas
Shedden. although he does not look
like winner in either event OIeI
has done the best broad jumping Of
the year and if he can repeat his -
feet II inches Of last week he is ike
\ al
most consistent man for the high jump
next TO Richards and ought 10 get sec
ond at least.
Yale has a likely point winner for
the hammer throw in Loughrdge, and
two possibilities for the pole vault IN
Carter and tombstone. Like Harvard,
the Blue has a chance 10 get in the
ncichborhood Of % and 20 points, pro
vided things break right.
Dartmouth's strength lies in the
field events and tho hurdles. In the
shot put the Green has two mon in
Whitney and Spears who are likely 20
do better than - feet. Beatty, OF Co
lumbia, is entered. but he hasn't done
better than 43 feet this year and may
have trouble 20 win. In the broad
jump Dartmouth has Worthington and
Nordcll. two men who have done bet
ter than % feet. Braun and Tren-
holm are the Greens mainstays in the
hurdles, and while they haven't been
coming up 20 expectations this spring
they ought 10 score in both.
or the other colleges Michigan
promises n score heavily with Smith
in the SPIRITS. while Carroll has a
chance 20 place in the mile. Maine
completes this year for the first time.
Bailey looks Ike a sure winner in the
hammer. and Rice, il he has returned
to form, will make trouble in the
sprints. What the other small col
leges do is the merest speculation, but
the class IS so high that nearly any
thing is likely 20 happen. Certainly
