FAVOR CRIMSON RUNNERS TO WIN NEW YORK I. C. 4A.

Carr and Sturdy May Win in First Two Places--Harvard Freshmen Slated to Win From Exeter

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The University track team of 25 men is favored to retain the national indoor track crown in the annual I. C. A. A. A. A. meet to be held in New York tonight. Last year under the leadership of Captain W.L. Tibbetts '26 the University aggregation won the trophy for the first time in 17 years, with a strong Georgetown team second. Even though the team lost many of its best runners last spring through graduation, it won the Harvard-Dartmouth-Cornell triangular meet last week by the large margin of 211/4 points, taking over half of the first places.

A.H. Miller, the 205-pound Crimson sprinter, is expected to be a high scorer in the dash. He has lost only one race this year and has beaten most of the men who will contest his claim tonight. He is running in top form and should take a number of first places.

Crimson Counts on Captain

Captain E.C. Haggerty '27, who will stand the brunt of the distance races, will have strong opposition from Cox of Penn state.

Last fall Cox broke Tibbetts' cross country record, and is considered the strongest entry in the two mile race. However Captain Haggerty won two first places in last week's meet and will start in a confident mood.

Although Yale, represented by Sabin Carr and Frederick Sturdy, hopes to take the first two places in the pole vault, both B.G. Burbank '27 and F.B. Clark '28 have good chances of placing in this event and either one may beat Sturdy for second place.

As usual the University team is comparatively weak in the field events.

C.A. Pratt's win over Anderson in last week's shot put contest gives him a good chance for first in that event.

In the broad jump, however, A.E. French '29 is the only University entry and William Dowding of Georgetown seems a sure winner in this event.

Penn State, Cornell, Dartmouth, Princeton, Yale, and Pennsylvania are all well represented and any one of them may upset the dopesters and take first place.

The meet will be hotly contested throughout for the winners tonight may be picked to represent the United States in the Olympics at Antwerp next year.

Freshmen Meet Exeter

The strong Freshman team which travels to Exeter today is a favorite over the schoolboy team. The meet will take place at 2:30 o'clock. Exeter knowing the strength of their opponents, has not sent it's relay team to New York to run in the Intercollegiates, as they have done in past years. The hundred yard dash will be a good race between T.E. Mason, the Freshman sprinter who won two first places against Andover, and Captain Moore of Exeter who has run the distance in 36.6 seconds. Exeter is also counting on Coombs and Cobb, both middle distance runners, to win their events. However W.G. Dooley seems a sure winner in the 880, W.D. Ticknor is expected to win the shot put and J. Van D. Hitch, R.L. Summers, and W.D. Vogel will take most of the honors in the hurdles.

The squad that takes the trip today is as follows:

L.B. Bilknap, E.P. Beveridge, A.W. Brown, F.T. Burgess, F.F. Cummings, W.G. Dooley, G.H. Elsass, J.C. Fuller, H.M. Hartnell, J.L. Hennessey, J. Van H. Hitch, G.H. Lee, L.C. Mallinckrodt, J.P. Maloney, T.F. Mason, F.V. Nissen, J.W. Potter, C. Silverman, W.D. Ticknor, W.D. Vogel.C.G.T. LUNDELL '27
