...points will be divided between so many colleges this year that it is very difficult to predict the winner. It will undoubtedly be between the University of Pennsylvania, Yale and Harvard for the title, with the chances slightly favoring Pennsylvania. With Foster in shape to win both the 100 and 220 as he did last year, the chances for a Harvard victory would be good, but because of his injury he can not be counted on for a single point. Foster will run in the 220 any-way, and possibly in both sprints...
...third or possibly second. Thayer or Tyler may come in for a fourth. Foster will probably not run in this event; at any rate he is not sure enough of competing to give him a point on paper. If Foster is in shape for the 220 he can win it, but it is very improbable, because of the fact that since the Yale meet he has had nothing but very light work. Watson or Thayer may get a point in this event. The most promising competitors from other colleges in the sprints are Ramsdell and Hough of Pennsylvania, Cooke...
...yard run Harvard has probably the greatest number of fast men that has ever represented any college in that event, but it is a question as to whether they are fast enough to win the best places. With Kelley, deSelding, Simons and Ranney all running in this event it is not too much to expect five points, whether it be a first or two minor places. Other men in this event are MacArthur of Cornell, Leger of Michigan, Black of Princeton, Reidpath of Syracuse and Palmer of Haverford...
Paull of Pennsylvania will win the half-mile as well as the mile, with Whiteley of Princeton, Kirjassoff of Yale and Franz of Princeton the most likely winners of the other places in the former event. It is not likely that Ryley will be able to place for the University team. In the mile-run Jaques will be up against Colbath of Bowdoin as well as Paull and can not except to win better than a third. Berna of Cornell is also a fast man, and if he runs in the mile instead of the two-mile will undoubtedly place...
...because they wish people in the vicinity to think that they are devil-may-care, hard-drinking fellows, or they are men who really have been indulging beyond the point of sobriety. If they are not Freshmen, in the first case, they ought to know that men do not win instant and lasting popularity or admiration from other men by being such rakish chaps, and in the second, they should have learned to behave in a respectable way despite the circumstances. What a surprise it would be if these roving bands, without being urged, should hereafter when excess of spirit...
