...should make a good fight for third place. In the low hurdles Bremer '96 holds the world's record and should make Perkins work to win. Morse '99 was second to Perkins both at New Haven and New York last year, and, as he is running strong, is rather better than Van Buren and Fewsmith, Yale's other low hurdlers...
