YALE IS FAVORED TO WIN 33D DUAL MEET

Harvard track forces will take the field at New Haven at 1 o'clock on Monday the underdogs. The Yale athletes, who came in second to the University of Southern California in the Intercollegiates, are conceded a ten to 15 point advantage over the Crimson.

The University has not won a dual meet with Yale since 1922; when they came out a fraction over six points ahead. In the last two years the Blue team has triumphed by the scores of 89 1-2 to 45 1-2 and 73 1-2 to 61 1-2. This brings Yale's total number of wins to 19, while Harvard lags behind with 13 victories since the dual meets began in 1891.

Miller May Win

With the breaks going to Captain Dunker's team on Monday, Harvard may overcome its supposed inferiority for its fourteenth win. It is not beyond possibility for Miller, for instance, to run the 100-yard dash in 9 4-5 seconds, in which case Norton would have to show something extraordinary to break the tape. Lundell beat Norton in the trial heat of the 220 at Philadelphia in the Intercollegiates, but lost to him in the semi-finals. Yale's hopes may be defeated in both these events. A few unexpected occurrences like these would overcome the Blue's ten or 15-point advantage and give the Crimson something to spare.

The half-mile, mile, and two-mile are the events in which the University will probably do its heaviest scoring. Watters, Haggerty, Tibbetts, Barker, Cutcheon, and Ryan are six men who should gather from 22 to 27 points between them. Yale's chances in this trio of events lie in Gibson, who does the 880 in a fraction over 1 minute 58 seconds, and Smith and Briggs in the two-mile, who can run the journey in under 9 minutes 45 seconds.

In the quarter-mile race Yale is the favorite with new Intercollegiate placers in Gage and Paulson. Captain Gage of Yale has not lost a dual meet quarter-mile race this year. Kane and Allen are the Crimson's strongest entries. Against Princeton the Harvard men came in one and two just ahead of Drews of Nassau. Drews was also a close third against Yale, Gage winning the race and Seacen, better known as a jumper, scoring second. The winners in both meets, Kane of Harvard and Gage of Yale, can break 50 seconds for the distance. Gage, however, is slightly the favorite, but either Kane or Allen will have a strong chance of beating Paulson for second.

The pole vault is an event, the outcome of which is quite uncertain. Either Durfee of the Blue team or Combs of Harvard have a good chance for first honors. Durfee placed in the 1924 Intercollegiates, but so far this year Combs has been keeping up with him. Both can clear over 12 feet.

Harvard Weak in Jumps

In the high and broad jumps Yale will have its innings to make up for the distance races. Deacon of Yale tied for fourth place in the Intercollegiates with a 6 foot 1 inch jump. But two weeks before in the dual meet with Princeton he cleared 6 feet 3 inches, equalling the meet record. Jones is Harvard's leading entry. Against Princeton he jumped 5 feet 8 3-4 inches, which is about his average height.

Norton, Deacon, and Comins of Yale should clean up in the broad jump. Norton became Intercollegiate champion this year in place of his teammate, Comins, who won the classic a year ago. All three can leap at least 23 feet.

Harvard, however, will probably get a first in the shot put through the efforts of Captain Dunker. Bench of Yale will be his most dangerous opponent. The latter, though, does not specialize in the shot, but in the javelin. After establishing a new dual meet spear record against Princeton with a throw of 186 feet 6 3-8 inches, Bench received the Intercollegiate gold medal at Philadelphia. Cheek of Harvard should be able to displace the Eli's second man, Davison. The Crimson football captain elect can hurl the javelin two or three yards further than his rival
