TIGERS ARE CHOICE
 10 WIN BIG ME1
Nassau TraCkmen Seem to H
 Best Chance Next Saturday.

New Haven, May 20.-For the time since their agreement was n} three years ago to work together athletics, Princeton, Harvard Yale will hold formal contests nI Saturday, when a triangular tr meet will be conducted. This is of the effects of the war upon letics. for it had been decided thae was impossible to hold the usual d track games among the three univ sites, in separate meets, when, at long series of conferences which athletic heads of the three h4 holding a triangular meet was cussed.
 The event was scheduled for q city because it is midway between I other two and the meet can td place here at the smallest expeu The standard of the meet will much lower than the usual al games because of the dearth of VI eran athletes. kI
 In another respect the meet #T form 8 decided intercollegiate l1oy| ty. Princeton has won but one mI from either Yale or Harvard, but is a warm favorite in early reckd ings. Forecasts of the meet md here at Yale give the Tigers someI points, to about 35 for Yale and sbd 25 for Harvard, which has the few formidable track athletes in her | tory in college and the most France.
 l@ Harvard Has Lone Star. Only one al1-around star has ba entered on the Harvard team, E. l Gourdin, who is formidable in bd l jumps and the sprints. Duggan, the distance runs, Captain Costigan| 1 the middle distances and Shermanl 1 the hurdles are looked upon as HI wards most likely point winnd Burnham Lewis, captain of the ted l left college recently to go into an \ 1 ficers' training camp, and Steyens] l Lucas and Williams also are likely ] be counted out because of departl l for military service before the m | next week.
 1 Tn best performances of the m are likely to be those of Erdman,.- 1 Princeton furdler. His showing winning the Penn relay timber eve and in the dual meet with Colum l stamps him as perhaps the best hu
 Ter of the year. Princeton has excellent reserve murders in Btu and Trowhridge. E. l Princeton has a, remarkable n, l de distance runner in Captain J.
 Barrett. He is reasonably sure of 44O-yard dash and of the furlong race. in case he is started in t event. He may, however, also be
 tered in the half mile.
 Princeton possesses another star Sinclair, in the weight events. He capable of better than IS feet in shot put, and Richard Cleveland, {
 of the former President of the Uni
 States, is a certain point winner I both events, on form he has consI 1 ently shown in practice.
 Tigers Strong in Distances.
 Raymond, Princeton's best mi
 has a mark of 4 minutes S1 seco1 and has the event at his mercy
 may be decided however, that he '
 be started in simply the two-n
 race.
 Captain Barrett is a 51-second n
 in the quarter mile. Erdman has
 mark of 15 3-5 seconds in the h and 25 4-5 in the low hurdles.
 The possibility that Sinclair | Raymond will be lost to the Erin
 ton team faces Coach Kenne F1tzp rick, to whose handling of the trs
 material the improvement in Prin l tons teams is largely due. Both tn men are awaiting 8 call to joinS C cers' training camps.
 The highest standard of Yale tr'
 men is in the pole vault, in wh Gerald Sweeney, son of Mike Swe CIV, the former worlds champion h
 jumper, has done 12 feet incl and D. F. Ford 12 feet 5 inches ! spring.
 l In the mile run E. F. F1sf steady and displaying flashes or D l liant running, is Yale's mainstayt w. Waterman in the mile Is capa of 4 minutes 35 seconds, but he
 he lost to the team through call
 military service.
 1 Yale has a couple of fair sprint i in Balliett and Thompson, and ! Frank Heffelfinger a quarter m 1 who can clip 52 seconds. Ford, in l jumps, is also a sure point w1nl l ShevIin, in the hammer throw. sho l score a second place.
