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

A LACK OF COACHES,
Poor Work of the Nine Due to That
and the Bad Weather.
os
The work of the University. nine in
the last two games has been marked by
a decided falling off from the form of
the earlier season. 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.

The University baseball team had an
off day at Providence last Saturday and
met with a decisive defeat at the hands
of the Brown team. 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. Fultz, Captain Lander and Le-
Stage did excellent work for Brown in
the field and at the bat.

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.

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.

mal supper was served later, as usual.
