...Yale and Cornell have more evenly balanced teams. Looking at the three teams from this point of view, it seems as if Cornell and Yale would be weakened more by the performers from the smaller colleges, whereas Harvard, whose team is counting on first places rather than seconds and thirds, will probably not be materially affected. The points in each event will be: first place, 5; second place, 3; third place, 2; and fourth place...
...Pennsylvania relay games early in the season. Since then Foster has constantly improved and will be at his best today and tomorrow. Sherman of Dartmouth, who took second a year ago, is not expected to compete as he strained a tendon last week. In his absence third and fourth places should lie between Minds of Pennsylvania, Hawley of Dartmouth, and Cary of Yale. Gamble of Princeton has not been in the best of condition lately and may not place, a though he was fourth last year. McArthur of Cornell and Geary of Fordham are fast...
...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...
...fast runners and one of them is likely to take fourth place away from Coney of Yale. Jaques will probably not run in the two-mile, and it is not likely that Paull will be able to win from Dull of Michigan after running the mile. The latter was third two years ago when the present record was established. Taylor and Young, both or Cornell, are likely to beat McGee and perhaps Paull...

Sweetser's chief weakness lay in the fact that he neglected to go to the net when an opportunity was offered him, and that he often allowed Niles to get to the net when he might have kept him in the back of the court...
