A. meet at Franklin Field this week-end Yale seems to have an excellent chance to‘repeat her 1024 victory. 0n form the Elis should have thirty safe points. But Georgetown and Princeton are certain to press The Blue closely. Pennsylvania and Cornell should score twenty-odd; points each and, unless California springs some surprise she will not garner more than eighteen points. Georgetown's chances for success ‘seem to have gone glimmering as a result of the illness of Burgess and Norton's injured ankle. Princeton will probably score only in the hur- dice and field events and Pennsylva- , nla ‘will need every conceivable break to come through a winner. It Hill shbuld spring a surprise and re- peat his last year’s victory in the dash—which is not likely—~hls points added to those of Wolf in the hurdles.
