...Crimson's great weakness lies in the field events, where they are conceded a chance of winning only six points. Cornell, as in previous years, is powerful in this department and is counted on to amass a total of 23, with Dartmouth winning 16 points. The University team is expected to gain six much-needed points in the broad jump and shot put to carry it through to victory, but its chances are slim at the best. French should take second place, but here again he may be handicapped by his late start in training. Last year...
...short dash, Dartmouth is greatly handicapped by the graduation of Glendenning, last year's winner, and is not counted on to score. Harvard should take eight points in the 50-yard dash, but there is some doubt as to whether A. E. French '29, who has been practicing only a comparatively short while this season, will be up to his usual form. A. L. Watkins '31 should break the tape in this event, with French second, and Eckert, of Cornell, third...
...feature the meet. Three heats, in each of which one entrant from each of the competing universities will appear, will be run off. There will be no finals, but every runner of each heat will be separately clocked, and the three best times will determine the points. Pratt of Dartmouth should capture first place, with G. A. Tupper '29 and W. C. Rowe '31 finishing behind him in that order. Alcorn, however, may break into the Green scoring column and cut down on the Crimson total...
Swope, of Dartmouth is the odds-on-favorite in the 600-yard run. F. E. Cummings '30 should earn three points for the Crimson, while either Vernon Munroe '31 or David Cobb '31 should win the additional single point. In the 1000-yard event, the Indians are expected to carry off another first place. The graduation of A. H. O'Neil '28, last season's University track captain and winner of this run, has left Coach Farrell without any real first-class 1000-yard material. The Latham twins and Andrews of the Green have been turning in very fast times...
...safe second. Alcorn, Green hurdler who captured second honors last year, is generally conceded the leader in this class. He has been clocked at 6 2-5 seconds in a recent time trial at Hanover in the 50 yard hurdles. Putnam will most probably finish third for another Dartmouth point...
