2 —— YALE ALUMNI WY Fu ware eo o THE INTERCOLLEGIATE FORECAST. Yale’s Chances Greatly Weakened by Enlistment of Some of Her Best Athlietes—Penn. Should Win. The twenty-third annual games of the Intercollegiate Athletic Association will be held at Berkeley Oval, Morris Heights, New York, on Friday and Saturday, May 27 and 28. The trial heats will be disposed of Friday, and the finals in almost all the events will take place Saturday afternoon. Special trains will be run over the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad to the Oval on the days of the games. The result of the games is always rendered doubtful by the distribution of points among the smaller colleges, but it is highly probable that the University . of Pennsylvania will win the meet again this year. The Yale team has been greatly weakened by the loss, through enlistment, of Marshall, Chappell, Wes- ton and Waller. In spite of this fact, however, and the defeat in the Dual Games last Saturday, Yale’s chances for second place are considered quite as good as Harvard’s. The new system of scoring which gives the winner of second place in each event three points, the winner of third place two points, and the fourth man one point, will be employed for the first time, and it is expected that Yale will be accordingly benefitted, as the team includes a large number of fair athletes and but few first - place men. “THE POSSIBLE RESULTS. The following summary of the prob- able point winners in the various events is based on the work of the competi- tors in the earlier meets of the year: Weiers of Georgetown should win the roo yards dash again this year, with the other points distributed between Tewksbury of Pennsylvania and Jarvis and Rush of Princeton. Graff of Yale may get a place in this event. Tewksbury, Wefers and Rush should also score in the 220 yards dash. Gleason will be Yale’s strongest repre- sentative, but his wo1k is uncertain. Hoffman of Pennsylvania is regarded as the probable winner of the 440, with ‘Fish of Harvard second. Fisher of Yale will be unable to compete on account of conditions, but Luce may secure one or two points. First place in the half mile run lies between Lane and Grant of Pennsyl- vania and Ordway of Yale. Richard- son of Yale and Draper of Harvard may also score. ) Grant of Harvard and Creegan of Princeton are expected to take the first two places in the mile run, with Spitzer of Yale a probable third. Speer of Yale has a good chance for points. he mile walk will doubtless be won by Fetterman of Pennsylvania, and Butler and Adams of Yale should get second and third places respectively. Columbia’s riders, Powell, Schwartz and Williams, should win first place in the bicycle events, and Wear, Mc- Cutcheon, Anderson and Howard are expected to take the second points for Yale. Capt. Perkins of Yale, Kraenzlein of Pennsylvania and Fox of Harvard will capture the first three places in the high hurdles. The fourth point should lie between Hallowell of Harvard, van- Beuren of Yale and Wheeler of Prince- ton. Bremer of Harvard, the world’s champion, will win the low hurdles and Kraenzlein of Pennsylvania should take second place: =Capt. Perkins “and Morse of Harvard should win the points for third and fourth places. Johnson and Clapp, both of Yale, will easily take first and second places in the pole vault. Selin, also of Yale, should be third and Longwell of Penn- sylyania or Dudley of Yale, fourth. Baxter of Pennsylvania is the prob- able winner of the high jump. Carrol of Princeton, Morse and Rice of Har- vard and Powell of Cornell will contest the other points. | 7 J. P. Remington and Kraenzlein of Pennsylvania and Princstein of Syra- cuse should take the first three points in the broad jump. First place in the shot put will prob- ably go to McCracken of Pennsylvania, with Garrett of Johns Hopkins second. O’Donnell of Yale should secure one or two points. ~ McCracken will win the hammer throw, also. The other points are un- certain, but Potter of Princeton and | Sutphin of Yale should score. Faculty restrictions will prevent Cadwalader of Yale from competing. eee S Athletic Calendar. May 21.—Yale Freshman-Princeton Freshman baseball at New Haven.

The disagreeable weather of the past three weeks has interfered seriously with the practice, . but it is probable that the entire ab- sence of graduate coaches, from which the nine has suffered since returning from the Easter trip, may be responsi- ble for some of the unsatisfactory work. The special weakness of the Nine is at the bat. The men who were expected to form the nucleus of a heavy batting team have failed to show the expected strength, and Wallace, alone, has been hitting consistently. The ragged field work in the Brown game has also proven disappointing, as it gave the first indication of the tendency to go to pieces, which marred Yale’s success ° on the diamond last Spring. Yale, 14—Wesieyan, 3. The University nine’s game with Wesleyan, which was scheduled for Wednesday, at the Field, was postponed until Thursday on account of rain, and resulted in an easy victory for Yale. Hecker, who was in the box for Yale, had the Wesleyan batters at his mercy, except in the eighth inning, when they bunched three of their four hits and did all their scoring. The Yale team fielded brilliantly, in contrast to the poor work of Wesleyan, and Camp, Hecker and Sullivan led at the bat. Score by innings: | Le @r3 4.5 04% 0. 9 Mes.

Fearey’s delivery was hit hard by the home team, and together with the poor work of Yale in the field, was responsible for the large score.

The Freshman team defeated the Harvard Freshmen at the Field Satur- day in the first game in the champion- ship series. The game, as the score above indicates, was very closé and the result in doubt up to the last inning. - Univ’rs’ty of Virginia 1 Yale prevented Harvard from scoring in the ninth by a brilliant double play by Taylor and Brown, and in her half won out on a timely three base hit by Clark. The work of both teams was excellent, Harvard showing superior judgment in base running.

Univ. of Virginia, 4—Yale, 0. The University team was defeated at the Field on Monday, in the third game with the University of Virginia, and thus lost the series. Virginia’s vic- tory was due to the fine pitching of Summersgill and the hard hitting of the team behind him. With the score 4 to o in Virginia’s favor, Yale started in the sixth inning by scoring two runs on a base on balls and hits by Wear and Wallace. The game was called, however, at this point on account of rain and the score re- verted to that of the fifth inning. The best playing was done by Mar- tin, Collier and Hill for Virginia, and Camp and deSaulles for Yale. Score by innings: I 4 5 0 O—O 0. 2—4 Hits: Yele1; Vivoinid, 8.::Errerst Yale, 2; Virginia, 1.
