Judging from the meets which the different colleges have held this year and from the records of the individual performers, first place seems likely to go to Harvard, Yale, or Cornell. Princeton, Pennsylvania and Michigan are closely matched for fourth place. There are a great number of unusually good men, however, among the entries from the smaller colleges, who may win a large number of points. The University team relies on seven or eight excellent performers to win the majority of Harvard's points, while Yale and Cornell have more evenly balanced teams. Looking at the three teams from this...
...competitors in most of the events are unusually well matched this year and some extremely close finishes are expected. It is hard to pick any particular events as features, inasmuch as all will undoubtedly be of the highest class. While few records are likely to go, many will be closely approached. A number of last year's point winners will compete, but their chances of scoring again can hardly be based on their performances a year ago, because of the extremely bad weather conditions that prevailed at the time...
...yard dash should without doubt go to Foster. Dawbarn of Princeton is apparently his only dangerous competitor. The remaining places are hard to assign as no other exceptionally fast men have been developed this season, and Sherman, last year's third place winner, will...
...high hurdles will apparently go to Yale as Howe has shown himself to be in wonderful form this season. Rand will have to be at his very best to beat Dwight of Princeton and Talcott of Cornell for second. The points will probably be divided among these four, unless Robbins, of Yale has improved remarkably. In the low hurdles Gardner has an excellent chance of reversing the results of two weeks ago by winning from Howe. It is not at all unlikely that the former will win. For third and fourth places the most prominent competitors are Rand of Harvard...
Records are likely to go in the pole-vault and the hammer throw. In the latter event Talbott of Connell has consistently beaten 160 feet and recently made a throw of 167 feet and 4 inches. Cooney of Yale and Horr of Syracuse are closely matched for second place, while the fourth position should be easy for Andrus of Yale. Yale again stands out conspicuously in the pole-vault. Campbell and Nelson are both practically sure of beating the existing record of 12 feet and the new mark will probably be considerably higher. Barr of Harvard and Cook of Cornell...
