TRACK OUTLOOK NOT BRIGHT

After three weeks of spring track practice, the prospects for a University victory over Yale and Princeton at the triangular track meet, scheduled to take place at New Haven on May 18 seem none too bright.

Judging by the records made by Princeton in taking three first places, a second, a third and a fourth at the Meadowbrook races 10 days ago, it seems more than probable that the University will meet with strong opposition from the Tiger track squad. Princeton has seven of last year's first-string men back this spring and among them such stars as C. R. Erdmann, who recently equalled the world's record by running the 45-yard high hurdles in six seconds flat, and S. P. Sinclaire, who broke the record by putting the 12-pound shot 51 feet 9 7-8 inches at Philadelphia on March 8.

Eli Team Well Balanced.

Yale, while not so well off for experienced runners as Princeton, promises to furnish a strong team. G. F. Sweeney recently broke the indoor pole vault record by clearing 12 feet 2 inches, tying with Myers of Dartmouth. F. P. Heffelfinger, in the 440, and D. Aikenhead, in the 880, can be relied on to come in among the first in their respective events. Altogether, the Elis would appear to have a well-balanced team for the coming season.

The University's prospects in the meets with these two rivals are problematical. It seems probable that at least the Blue, the chances will be very nearly even. Both squads are handicapped by the loss of many former stars; neither can rely absolutely on this year's material. Princeton will be a more difficult problem.
