Pennsylvania the Favorite.

The University of Pennsylvania appears to have the best chance of winning the championship this year. Although the Philadelphia team has no particular stars, it has a number of excellent performers in practically every event. Cornell and Michigan have also been considered for the first honors, but it is not probable that their squads, in spite of brilliant competitors in a few events, can secure as many points as Pennsylvania. Harvard should take fourth place in the games, beating out Syracuse, Dartmouth, Princeton, and the smaller colleges.

Forecast of the Events.

De Gozzaldi and Abbot will be Harvard's best men in the 100, but it is not likely that either will be able to able to beat Brown of Pennsylvania, Bennett of Cornell, Robertson of Syracuse, or Thomas and Harland of Princeton. In the furlong dash de Gozzaldi will have a chance to beat these five for one of the four places. Captain Mercer of Pennsylvania will run in this event and is likely to take first place.

In the quarter-mile event Harvard has three good men, but they will have to compete against the best men in the country Reidpath of Syracuse seems to have the best chance of breaking the tape, since he has travelled the distance this year in record time. Fogg of Syracuse has been a close second to his team-mate in all their races this spring, but will not run because of a bad tendon. Barron will have Bennett of Cornell, Haff of Pennsylvania, and Farrar of Yale to contend with for second place.

Jones and Putnam of Cornell will probably take again the first two places in the half-mile. Bodley of Pennsylvania, Dolan of Dartmouth, and Hayes of Princeton are apt to shut out the Harvard runners. Jones of Cornell will also run the mile and should have little difficulty in winning it. Taber of Brown, and Maderia of Pennsylvania will fight it out for the other places.

Berna of Cornell, the record holder, is again competing in the two-mile run. Haimbaugh and Captain Withington, who won places last year, McCurdy and Crandall of Pennsylvania, March of Yale, and Boyd of Harvard are all good men.

The high hurdles seem to be anyone's event. Wendell of Wesleyan has made the fastest time in competition, but there are a number of men equally good. Cummings and Jackson will compete against Griffith of Pennsylvania, Larkin of Yale, Craig of Michigan, Champlin of Syracuse, and Babcock of Columbia. In the low hurdle event the race will be between Cummings, Havens of Rutgers, Haydock of Pennsylvania, and Craig of Michigan. If Edwards of Pennsylvania should run in the trials today, he should have a good chance of winning both hurdles tomorrow.

In the high jump Moffat should meet in the finals Burdick of Pennsylvania, Sargent of Michigan, Dalrymple of Technology, and Enright of Dartmouth. Cable should qualify in the broad jump along with Mercer of Pennsylvania, Babcock of Columbia, and Waring and Cohn of Michigan. In the pole-vault Jones is not apt to qualify.

Cabel has an excellent chance to win the hammer-throw. His closest competitors will be Tilley and Marden of Dartmouth and Kohler of Michigan. Beatty of Columbia is the favorite for the shot-put. Bartlett of Brown and Kohler of Michigan will probably take second and third. The fourth place will lie between Batchelder, Leslie, Bissell of Princeton and Kanzler of Cornell
