DOPESTERS GIVE YALE POSSIBLE I. C. 4-A. WIN

With the Intercollegiate Track Meet, which is to be held in the Stadium on May 30 and 31, drawing closer and closer, opinions are beginning to crystalize as to the probable outcome of the meet.

Prophecies are difficult, for the field for the meet as a whole is widely scattered. First places in the 15 events are likely to go in almost equal measure to Stanford, Syracuse, Boston College, and Princeton according to the present doping of the meet. As a result, the winning team seems likely to be the team with the greatest scoring balance in every event.

A few weeks ago, it seemed as if Princeton had such a team in view of their great power in the hurdles and practically all of the weight events. But since their decisive defeat at the hands of Coach Conners' Yale track team in New Haven two Saturdays ago, interest has centered about the Yale team as possible contenders for the I. C. 4-A. championship. A great deal will depend, of course, upon their showing against the Crimson this afternoon in the annual Harvard-Yale dual meet in the Stadium. The Blue team may have slumped since it lost the valuable leadership of Coach Connors, who has been in the hospital following an operation for appendicitis, but if they repeat their performance against the Tigers two weeks ago, an unprejudiced observer cannot help but place the Elis high among the scorers on May 31.

Twenty years have passed since Yale perched on top of the Intercollegiate track and field heap. Next Friday and Saturday at the Harvard Stadium, the Elis may annex their first title since 1904, in the opinion of experts.

A group of track enthusiasts sat down last night and discussed prospects for the intercollegiates, jotting down certain observations regarding the relative merits of this season's crop of stars. No thought was given to teams, but merely to individuals, and when all of the 15 events had been discussed, a tabulation of the points showed Lawson Robertson's University of Pennsylvania team out in front by an eyelash, only half a point ahead of Yale. The points for the leaders were Penn 28, Yale 27 1-2, California 23, Stanford and Princeton 22 each, and Boston College 18. Coach Farrell's men are doped to collect, at the inside, a total of 12 points.

According to the forecast of this assemblage of experts, the crimson scoring will be contributed to by four men--Watters, who has been slated for second place in the mile run; Eastman, second place in the mile; Tibbetts conceded fourth place in the two mile run; Eastman, who will probably have to take fourth place to Hartranft of Stanford, Hills of Princeton, and Houser of Southern California; and Carpenter, who has been placed second to Hartranft alone.

Basing their conclusions on what the Eastern college stars have shown in competition and dovetailing as closely as possible the information on the various Far Western entries, the track experts, who included a number of nationally famous coaches, reached this concensus table:
