EXPECT ANDOVER TO WIN INTERSCHOLASTIC MEET

Over 300 athletes, representing over 25 schools, promises well for the thirty-ninth annual Harvard Interscholastic Track Meet. Several teams from distant schools arrived last night, but all will assemble together for the first time at an 11.30 o'clock lunch in the Smith Halls Dining Room today. Between lunch and the meet, which starts at 2.30 o'clock at Soldiers Field, the competitors will be in the Smith Halls Common Room to meet undergraduates in college who attended the various schools represented.

Were it not for the wet condition of the track, which seems inevitable, records would undoubtedly fall this afternoon. As it is, with several former record breakers returning and many old point winners as well as the usual new material, some exceptional performances should be seen this afternoon.

Andover Favored to Win

Andover, with 38 entries, is the favorite for winner, although it will be no means execute a walk-away. A rapid glance over the list finds no one likely to beat C. Borah in either the 100-yards or 220 yards dashes, in which he has done 9 4-5 seconds and 21 4-5 seconds; nor any one to beat W. S. Edwards, G. Larsen, or E. Renouf, who high jump 5 feet 10 inches; nor K. N. Stone, who puts the shot 46 feet. Captain W. Healey of Andover, present holder of the Harvard Interscholastic javelin record of 164 feet 5 inches, will almost certainly win that event.

Another record holder, J. Brandenburg, with a throw of 122 feet 5 1-2 inches in the discus, will probably add five points to Exeter's total B. Conners, sole entry for the Allen Chambers School of West Newton, however, promises to make trouble if Branderburg is not quite up to form. Connors is also entered for the hammer and shot put. A one man team from the University School. Cleveland, Ohio, composed of D. Mc Clellan, should pick up a few points for the Middle West in the discus, shot, and javelin.

Concede Hurdles to Exeter

A victory in the hurdles is predicted for R. H. O'Connell, holder of Exeter's low hurdles record of 24 9-10 seconds. A last minute injury has forced J. N. Bole of the University School, Cleveland, Ohio, one of the most promising hurdlers, to withdraw his name from the list of entries, according to a telegram received last night.

The results of the middle and long distances are almost impossible to predict because of the many fast runners entered. W. Gillis, H. Hormel, and A. Surette of Medford High, W. L. Hallowell of Milton, and G. W. Clark of Huntington are all known to be good. Lowell High and Huntington have also entered fast men in the mile and half mile.

For the first time since the Harvard Interscholastic meet began the competition is to be limited. By an agreement made between Yale, Princeton, and Harvard last summer athletes who enter either the 440, 880, or mile events will not be allowed to take part in any other running events during the afternoon.

Unless something unforeseen happens, G. Glendenning of Andover will capture first place in the broad jump. Andover will also gain anywhere from five to 11 points in the high jump.

More than 100 have already signified there intention to attend a banquet at 6.30 o'clock at the Varsity Club. R. C. Floyd '11, former track manager at the University and a member of the advisory board of the Intercollegiate Association, will be toastmaster. Other honary guests will include Lothrop Withington '11, W. J. Bingham '16, General A. W. Brewster of the 306 First Corps Area, and J. J. Merrill '24.
