The thirteenth annual dual track meet with Yale will be held this afternoon at 3 o'clock in the Stadium on Soldiers Field. This will be the fifth contest for the silver trophy cup presented by Mr. W. Baker '86 and Mr. G. B. Morison '83 of Harvard and Mr. Walter Camp '80 and Mr. H. S. Brooks '86 of Yale. The cup will become the permanent property of the university winning it five out of nine times. At present each university has won it twice.
Judging from the records, the teams seem to be fairly evenly matched. Yale should have an advantage in the field and Harvard in the track events. On each side there are three men who have shown more than ordinary ability by recent records, Schick, Colwell and Le Moyne of Harvard, and Clapp, Parsons and McLanahan of Yale.
Reserved seats at $1.00 each are on sale at Leavitt & Peirce's. H. A. A. tickets will admit the holders to a special section reserved for them.
Forecast of Events.
Although prediction in track games is always uncertain, on account of weather and track conditions, the form and condition of old men, and the doubtful qualities of new ones, there is enough evidence from the records made in the spring meets of both universities to show that the contest will be close and hard fought.
In the 100-yard dash Harvard should have first place with W. A. Schick, Jr., '05, but Torrey and Lowe of Yale will force him to do his best. The former has run the distance in less than ten seconds, but was beaten by Lowe at the Yale-Princeton meet on May 7.
The 220-yard dash will bring together Schick, E. C. Rust '04, and E. J. Dives '06, of Harvard, and Long, Twitchell and Torrey of Yale. Chances favor Schick and Torrey for first and second, with the others close for third place.
The 440-yard dash should be a very good race between Rust of Harvard and Burnap of Yale, with Dives and Long nearly equal for third place.
Parsons of Yale should win the 880-yard run. F. S. Buffum '04 of Harvard and Moffat of Yale are good men, and a close race may be expected.
The mile run, judging from the times made this year by the different men, is conceded to W. A. Colwell 3G. of Harvard. Second and third places should be closely contested by Alcott and Hill of Yale, and H. H. Rowland '06 of Harvard.
A very close race may be expected in the two-mile run, between Colwell, A. King 1L., and J. H. Hall 1G. of Harvard, and Hall and Hill of Yale. The chances favor Colwell and Hall for first and second places respectively.
Captain Clapp of Yale should be very fast in both hurdle events. His time for the 120-yard hurdles on May 7 was 16 seconds, and for the 220-yard, 24 4-5 seconds. F. W. Bird '04 of Harvard may win second in the 120, with, possibly, either Eales or Mertz of Yale, or F. R. Bauer '04 of Harvard third. In the 220, Yale relies on Johnson for second, but he should be hard pressed by Bauer.
In the field events, first place in the shot put should go to either H. Le Moyne '07 of Harvard or Glass of Yale. Both have made records of over 46 feet, but chances seem to favor Le Moyne. F. A. Schoenfuss '04 of Harvard will probably be third.
Vietor of Yale should win the high jump, although he was defeated by Jack on May 7, the latter clearing 5 feet 11 1-2 inches. R. E. Crane '05 should get third if not second place, for Harvard.
The broad jump will probably be won by Sheffield of Yale, as he made 23 feet, 1 1-2 inches on May 7. F. W. Ford '04 of Harvard and Oxley of Yale should be evenly matched for second and third.
McLanahan of Yale should win the pole vault if in form, as he broke the world's record this year at the Yale-Princeton meet, clearing an even 12 feet. R. B. Gring '05 of Harvard will make a close second and Behr of Yale should win third place.
Yale has three strong men in the hammer throw, Shevlin, Harris and Glass. Le Moyne, if in form, may get a place.
A slip in any event may cause the loss of the games; second and third places promise to be important.
