Last spring Technology was able to take only four first places, and all of the winners, Bawden, Dandrow, MacMahon, and Spitz, are now ineligible for the team. Moreover the Tech yearlings last year were none too strong. As a result, the teams that will meet on Saturday seem to possess almost equal strength. What the Crimson has gained by the two meets on the spring trip is in part counter-balanced by the fact that the M. I. T. runners will hold the contest on their own field. To quote Mr. H. C. Pierce, captain of the 1920 Tech track...
...Tech has a trio of fast 100-yard dash men in Heap, Hayes, and Howlett. Howlett, probably the fastest of these, ran second only to Gourdin last year and is considered to be as fast if not faster this year. To offset him the University will have Chase, Evans, Hovey, and Wansker. Chase is the University's best bet in the 220-yard dash, but M. I. T. with Poole, Howlett, and W. L. Smith might easily take two places, possibly winning the event. Chapin would have been a logical point winner in this event, but he can not take...
...yard run, Tech has in Gurney, Poole, Chittick, and W. L. Smith a quartet of runners which will probably be able to make a clean sweep of the nine points here. Each of them has done better than 51 seconds, but it is a question whether they can all duplicate the feat on Saturday so either Colt or Merrill may place. Merrill, however, is counted on for points in the 880-yard run and it is doubtful whether he will be able to handle both the quarter and half on the same day. Although no University men placed...
Burke, best of the Crimson runners this year, is expected to win the mile while Sanborn, who took third in last year's meet should get second. Bennett ought to snatch third place, with Poor of Tech giving him some close competition...
...take the measure of Lund, Coach Bingham's best entry for the eight laps, Lund, however, has shown remarkable improvement since he burst into prominence by running second to Burke in the mile race at the spring handicap meet, and he may beat either or both of the Tech distance...
