...meet against Yale. Chapin, a veteran of last year, should make it interesting for the Blue sprinters, while Davis, the best of the University pole-vaulters, should add materially to the Crimson score. Whitney is one of the mainstays of the team in both hurdle races. With Hauers and Thayer to back him up, he should do much toward a Crimson victory on Saturday. The final choice of the men who will represent the University will be announced after further trials this week...
...third of the series of Garcelon hurdle races will be held this afternoon, and will include 65-yard high hurdles, and 120-yard low hurdles. Hauers, Fitts, Thomas, and Thayer, having already won prizes in this series, are ineligible to compete today...

Whitney, who is still suffering from an injury received in the Navy meet, may possibly be unable to compete on Saturday. In the case Hauers should take first with Thayer battling Captain Chittick of Tech for second place. Fitts should capture the low hurdles with Thayer, Hauers, and Chittick again fighting for second; the last named being the ruling favorite. If Whitney is in condition...

In the broad-jump too, Fitts is a likely point- winner but except for him this event presents a large field of mediocre ability. Dipple, Prescott, and Heap of Tech, and Thayer, Wansker, and Merrill of the University all seem to have about the same ability. Jenkins, however, could be counted on for Crimson points, but it is doubtful if he can get away from the baseball game Saturday for a long enough period to jump in the track meet...
First heat.--Won by Thayer; second, Hauers; third, Byington
