man has ever won both races, but Mere
dlth thinks he can do It. His haIf-milt
| held VIII not be quite so fast as las
year since Caldwell of Cornell, and
Brown Of Yale, who were first and sec
! ond, are not competing. Bingham OF
harvard Hayes of Princeton and Cappei
/ o. harvard and Windnagle or Spelden oi
CoIhell, or Granger of Dartmouth, are
picked to get the other places.
PENNSYLVANIA expects Ferguson to win
the low hurdles as he did last year, and
SO he should. because he Is In better
Iorrn than last year. The Quakers hope
Kaufman, who has been running on even
terms with him all spring, can get sec
ond, but there Is no certainty about this
Dartmouth has lost Braun, who was sec
ond last year, but Shedden, of Yale, and
stewart of Princeton, are very fast,
over the high hurdles the fight ought to
be between Rice. of Harvard; Hammitt,
OF Penn State, and Ferguson Rice has
done the best hurdling of the year.
Should Ferguson win this event as well
as the low hurdles, the Quakers would
be dangerous, On what they have done
this year the order ought to be Rice,
Hhmmitt and Ferguson.
The opponents of Cornell are praying
that Mckenzie, of Princeton. can beat
Speiden and Windnagle, of Cornell in the
mile. Spelden won last year and seems to
pN lIt btSl III lne nelu now. Many tnlnK
that the Tiger can beat him. but from
what Mckenzie has done in the past he
has no more chance to win than Speiden
and Windnagle to get first and second.
Poucher of Yale, and Brown, of the
NJ. l. T., and Carroll of Michigan, are
figured as the most likely men to get
the other places, Cornell seems to be In
more danger in the two-mile than in the
mile. Here Hoffmre and Potter, who

on to win. but they will have their hands
full disposng of Overton. of Yale, and
Southworth of Harvard. Overton looks
to have the best chance of turning the
trick because he has plenty of strength
and more speed than either of the Cornell
men, Should Overton and Southworth
get first and second. this would be
terrible blow to Cornell.
In the field events Richards, of Cornell,
the Olympic champion looks like a sure
winner in the high jump. He has done
feet inches this year, and with good
weather should easily beat Motifs inter-
collegiate mark of feet 3A inches.
Oler, of Yale; Johnstone, of Harvard, and
Davy. of Princeton, ought to divide UP
the next three places. In the board jump
Oler and Richards will meet again, and
both should beat % feet easily; but here
they will meet a new antagonist In
Worthington. of Dartmouth, who looks
like a probable winner. The first three
men are likely to beat % feet inches,
something never before done In an inter-
collegiate meet. and there is chance
that all five men will clear % feet.
r. L. Beatty. of Columbia Is likely
to lose the championship in the shot-put
to Whitney of Dartmouth. Whitney has
done nearly 4S feet this year, while Beatty
has not yet done "A feet. Spears, of
Dartmouth; Richards. of Cornell; Dorizas,
of Penn, and Allen, of Maine, look like
point winners. Bailey. of Maine, Is picked
to win the hammer throw, but he will
have to do better than he did last week
in the New England intercollegiates. or
McCutcheon, of Cornell, and Murphy of
Penn, will beat him out.
The pole vault is a gamble all the way
through. Cornell has two possibilities in
Milton, Foss and Van Kennen; Yale two
in Carter and Johnstone and Harvard
two in Greedy and Camp. Syracuse has
an even chance to furnish the winner
with Curtis.
Reduced to cold figures, Cornell is a
slight favorite, because the Ithacans have
more certainties than their rivals. Penn
relies upon too few events. 1t will prob
ably take between 35 and 40 points to
win the meet and under such conditions
the strongest all-around team would have
the best chance, That Is another index
toward Cornell.
