The 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.

The following is a fair estimate of what the University team is expected to do today and tomorrow:

Forecast of Events.

Gardner will run in the 100 again as he did in the Yale meet, and should place with a 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 of Princeton and Craig of Michigan.

In the 440-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. In the two-mile Young and Berna of Cornell are the favorites, with Newton of Harvard a possibility for a third or a fourth. Haskell of Yale will figure.

In the high hurdles Dwight of Princeton and Chisholm of Yale are the best men. Lewis or Long of the University team may place. In the low hurdles Gardner is counted upon for first place, with Chisholm and Dwight sure of places. Here again Lewis or Long may place.

In the field events Yale will make most of its points. Captain Little of the University team will place in the broad jump and possibly in the shot-put. Lawrence will have keen competition in the high-jump with Canfield of Yale, Burdick of Pennsylvania and Palmer of Dartmouth all good for better than six feet. Barr may get a fourth in the pole-vault, the other three places going to Nelson and Gardner of Yale and Holdman of Dartmouth. Goddard may place in the shotput, though there again there will be keen competition. There is no chance in the hammer-throw for Hodges. Long has a show in the broad jump, which will probably be won by Roberts of Amherst
