...Yale winning streak which has instead since 1922, pointed out that several of the events will probably be complete sweeps for both reams. The mile, and possibly the two mile, are conceded to the Crimson. The high hurdles and the high jump balance this advantage with two Yale monopolies. Eight points are granted to the Blue in both the 880 and 440 yard dates, but the same totals for the Crimson in the javelin and hammer offset these heavy scores...
...wind, is nearly one foot farther than any Yale jumper has reached this spring. The closest competition will come in this event when G. A. Lomasney '28 battles with Oldt and Brandenburg of the Blue aggregation for second or third place. Against Dartmouth last week Lomasney jumped 22 feet eight inches, while at the same time Brandenburg was doing 22 feet 11 and three-eighths inches at New Haven to take first place against Princeton...
...took second in the Princeton meet with a throw of 152 feet nine and three-fourths inches, while Keesling was a third with a slight shorter distance. The fact that Pratt did 176 feet two inches at Dartmouth for a third place, gives good grounds for expecting at least eight points in this event. There is a bare possibility of making a clean sweep...

Crile of Yale won the Princeton hammer throw with 122 feet one inch, while Shapiro took the Dartmouth event at the same time with a throw of 138 feet six inches. Alcock came in second with 136 feet six and one-half inches, so that the possibility of taking eight points in the hammer is well established. Third place in this event is an open question...
...lines that Harvard determination is worth far more than three points. A prominent Boston sports writer, more ingenious in the perilous art of doping, given two columns of figures, one for the optimist, the other for the conservative. The first reads eighty points for Harvard, the second fifty-eight and a third. The chances of error here are slight: some-where within these limits, lies the actual victory, as well as the possibilities which tomorrow afternoon will draw hundreds of Crimson and Blue supporters to the Stadium...
