=. yl,ners' marks were, on the whole,

i araer 10 win the mile he will not have
4 I'm near his limit. and with the rest
,s,wssn he ought to be ready to run
s.arly his best half.
n il question, however, whether Over

< nm IN order to beat Bingham. He
rsysr has shown as fast as Bingham did
III saturday when he won at Cornell in
i:sli-5.
Bingham ran his fastest half last Sat-
urday, and II he can repeat this week he
eiL think, beat Overton, due to Overton
having run mile beforehand.
The Held events will be the place for
fale to do its big scoring; but it also
viii break ahead of Harvard In the track
events The Crimson has no hurdlers
Al all; at least 1t placed none against
Carrell and while 1t won four running
events out of six, it did not have but
one second In the half in Biddle and one
third with Moore in the 100 yards.
The sprints will fall to Teschner. of
Harvard with Treadway, of Yale, second.
.Teschner can beat Treadway; he did 1t
last year In the intercollegiates, and'>his
times last week were faster than those
naiEby the Yale sprinter.
Tas will have no hope against .Har-
skfde quarter-milers. Wilcox will win,
aHa Fennypacker, Minot and Biddle, all of
Aissfd, will fight it out for the other
Ezia
ne two-mle event looks like Yale's,
ahte Young ran in 9:57 last Saturday in
Nsw Haven, and Harvard did not have
nan to place against Cornell in this

After the hurdles and field events start
IAls will sweep the boards. 1t will
sln every event with the probable excep-
n'n OF the pole vault In the pole vault
fais has three men who have done over
Z leat In Buck, Johnstone and Nagle but
HaFdock, of Harvard, is a little too good
q hem, think, and will be first. !
me Yale team is too we'll balanced for
Harvard, Harvard has more stars, but
asy are all punched in about the same
rents, The Harvard team is just in the
Aus predicament as Pennsylvania.
Harvard and Pennsylvania were to
asel this year. it would prove one of the
~ meets in the country. We both have
lur GOOD men in the same events, and
#nuld be very evenly matched.
While l do not think Yale will beat
Harvard as badly as Cornell did, 1 ex-
~ % see them win by good margin.
lnd | think 1t is safe to say they will
IN BY at least 20 points.
