...yard run presents much the same story, with Burke again carrying the burden of the Crimson hopes. Again the Eli entry, Campbell, is favored to win, but again, the reckoning does not take fully into account the improvement of Burke during the meets and practice work outs this spring. Last Saturday, after walking away with the mile, he won the half-mile event by over 16 yards in near-record time. Provided that the mile race is not too hard on him he should press Campbell to the tape and there is more than a chance that he can cross...
With very little known about the relative strength of either team in the sprints, these events present an extremely puzzling aspect. Feldman, the star of last year's Eli team, is generally conceded a victory in the 100-yard dash, both on the basis of his performances last year and on his record and times this year. He is a capable runner, with plenty of experience in school and college behind him, and is generally ranked as one of the mainstays of the Blue team. The fight for second and third places will be close, with J. S. Clark...
...yard run seems full of uncertainties at the present moment. With Chute back in spiked shoes, the University chances for a win are materially brightened. Chute finished second in the 440 against the Elis last year, being nosed out at the tape by another Crimson runner. This would make it appear that his chances of being the first to break the tape are of the brightest, but the Elis have uncovered a world of strength in Chapman, a member of last year's yearling team, who was second by a small margin to Stevenson, the Princeton crack, and National Quarter...
...University track men seem to have a decided advantage in the field events. Yale has lost Landon, last year's high jump winner, and Olympic champion, which gives the University the brightest prospects in this event, with Fitts and Morse almost certain to place ahead of Reinacher, the best Eli entry...
...remarkable improvement, with a distance gain in his distances as a result. One of his throws in the M. I. T. meet last Saturday was well over 160 feet, but was foul by inches. Provided that he can stay within the circle, he will surely outdistance Cruiksbank, the bast Eli entry, while Marshall is very likely to win third place for the University over Lands...
