On next Saturday the Harvard and Pennsylvania track teams will contest in dual games on Franklin Field at Philadelphia. As Pennsylvania defeated Harvard at the Mott Haven games last year, the contest should be very exciting and it will probably be fairly close, although Harvard's chances of winning seem rather better than Pennsylvania's. Both teams are stronger than usual and good records are expected in all the events. A conservative estimate gives Harvard 62 points to Pennsylvanis's 50. Harvard should win the hundred with Roche, Bigelow and Redpath, all of whom are good for 10 1-5s, as Bucholz, the best Pennsylvanian, could only win third place in this event in the Cornell-Pennsylvania games, which was run in 10 1 5s. Judging from these games, Harvard should also win the other dash, as Cornell won it in 22 2-5s. Hollister, Vincent and Bremer stand an excellent chance of winning all three places in the quarter, as the best Pennsylvanias is not good for much better than 52 seconds. Hollister should also win the half, unless he is too tired, in which case Fenno, who has been running close to 2 minutes should win over Orton who will have had to run the mile first. Orton is picked to win the mile run by Pennsylvanians, but Grant with his record of 4.28 1-5 should give him a close race. The mile walk is generally conceded to Pennsylvania, with Fetterman, although Phillips's record of 7.17 is better than that of 7.24 made by Fetterman in the Cornell games. The bicycle race is uncertain. Douglass of Pennsylvania, Hewitt and Baker should make a good race for first. Harvard will probably win all six places in the low and high hurdles as Pennsylvania has no men capable of doing better than 17s. in the high or 27s. in the low. The high jump should go to Pennsylvania as Leslie is jumping over 6 feet; but Putnam and Clark have both done better than 5 feet 10 inches and are very reliable men. Mason should win the broad jump as Pennsylvania has no men capable of jumping better than 21 feet. His record is 22 feet 3 1-2 in. Pennsylvania will probably win the shot with Knipe who put it 40 feet 2 in., in the Cornell games. Kubli has not done better than a little over 38 feet, in competition, this year. First place in the hammer throwing is a toss-up, with the chances slightly in favor of Woodruff who threw the hammer 115 feet in the Cornell games, as against Shaw who in last Saturday's games threw it 114 feet. E. H. Clark has not done very well since his return from Athens. Hoyt will probably win the pole vault as his voyage has put him in fine condition, and as he is doing rather better in practice than last year. Bucholz however, can be relied upon to do 11 feet and the contest for first place should be close.
