BOWDOIN THE vORITE At
: Maine MEET TOMORROW WITH
BATES CLOSE ON HER HEELS

place between Bates and Bowdoin
with BowdOin favored to win by 10
to 20 points; Maine should take
third, with Colby a poor fourth.
Bates strength lies in her track
Buker forming a trio that should
garner a number of frsts for the
Lewiston collegians. BOwdoin, on
the other hand shows her greatest
strength in the field events with
ToOtell. Charles, Bishop and Small
looking like sure winners in their re-
spective specialties. Maine should
score heaviest in the low hurdles,
with Dunn favored for first, and
Pinkham looking the best of anyone
in sight in the broad jump. Colby
may have a dark horse in Young,
and if he is going as he has in the
past, he is very likely to top the high
timber for win. Kemp looks good
for IA second in the pole vault.
The lO0-yard dash should resolve
into a fight for first between Landers
of Bates and Butler of Bowdoin
with Butler the favorite; the third
place seems to belong to Thomas of
Maine who won his race a week ago
in 10. As.
Bates men are backing Landers
to win the 900, and the dusky little
Splinter looks like a good contender
with Mason of Bowdoin fighting him
all the way for premier honors.
Thomas of Maine Is in the same class
and this event should be one of the
prettiest races on the calendar.
HearOn of Colby is backed by the
Waterrille men as dark ,horSe in
this event
If Archibald gets by the meeting
tonight at the Eimwood, the Bates
flyer should take the 44O with Mason
of Bowdoin a close second and Law
renee OF Maine third. If the track is
fast this event should be run close
to o. seconds. Forham of Colby is
another conner that may upset the
dope when he gets his spikes into
the cinders
The half looks as though it be
lonsed to Hunt of Bowdoin who has
been shifted from the 44O to the
longer sprint. Hunt ran dandy
io>S oot'iiiot lpi wv II anu IilSHtu
four yards behind his competitor in
> minutes % seconds. Sanella of
Bates is expected to press the Bruins
wick collegian hard and should take
second, with Archibald of Bates gar
nering third position.
IL Ray Buker runs in the mile, he
will win for Bates with his team
m Of q froi nIo
and Webster of Maine landing the
remaining point. Bowdoin is short
of milers this year. but c. Hildreth
of Gardiner will cover the distance
for the experience.
Buker should repeat in the two
mile with little real competition. and
it is hoped that he will make a try
for the record. Butler of Bowdoin,
who has been doing around 10 min
utes, 20 seconds is generally chosen
for second with Mckinley of Bates
close on his heels.
Judging from reports sitting down
from upriver. Mike Ryan has an ace
in the hoe in Young, and just to be
contrary. and considering the mark
of is % which he hung up before
entering college. we are .favoring
him to take the 12O-yard high hurd-
les over Hardy OF Bowdoin. who
should press him all the way. Went
worth Of Bowdoin has a slight shade
over Dunn of Maine and Jenkins of
Bates for third in this event.
Dunn of Maine is the pre-meet
favorite in the DO low gates. and
should swing over them well Under
% seconds with jenkins of Bates
second, and Hardy of Bowdoin or
Young of Colby third.
Charles of Bowdon should win the
shotput with a heave of better than
40 feet; Cohen Of Maine will take sec
ond if he is eligible. but if he is kept
out it is expected that Dow Of Maine
will take his place. with Frude of Col
by garnering third with Cohen out.
Unless Tootell Of Bowdoin slips out
rof the ring, there is no question about
his bringing home the bacon in the
hammer throw, and he may go out
after Baileys record of $50 feet ga
inch. Mason of Bowdoin has good
chance for second. with Wagg of Bow
doin or Strout of Maine taking third.
Tootell Of Bowdoin should repeat his
win in the discus, with Luce of Bates
second, and Parsons of Bowdoin or
Webb of Maine third
The high jump appears to belong to
Asa Small of Bowdoin, as the husky
freshman has been sailing over the
bar several inches higher than any
other Maine cCllegian. Philbrook of
Bowdoin looks good for second. with
Soule of Colby or Houghton of Maine
taking third.
The broad jump looks sickly this
season. but Pinkham Of Maine should
take it with A jump slightly under 20
and one-half feet with Batten Of Bates
second. and Soule OF Colby or Small OF
Bowdon taking third.
Francis Bishop of Bowdoin should
take the poo vault with very little
diffic llty after his performance at
Brown. ,she1 he topped the bar at IL
feet inches, and a record is likely to
go in this event II the Bowdoin man
is going right. Kemp. the newly elect
ed Colby captain, should take second,
with H. Bishop of Bowdoin third.
