legiate games at Mott Haven on May %,
aud the prospects are that the entries viii
score a number OF points.
Much is expected from George Ma
houey's ("Big Mike'9 work. He viii be en-
tered in hammer throwing and putting the
shot aud broad jump. His work is OF the
phenomenal class when it is considered
that he has had virtually no training to
rub off the rough places to make his work
easier. AS it is he viii make the best OF
them Mt Mott Haven do their best to keep
out of his way.
Both Harvard and Pennsy are anxious
to see Mahouey win the SIX points which
go to the two wefght-thrOwing events, be
and give the others a better chance to win
the championship.
1t is said that each of these colleges has
offered TO send its trainer down to coach
Mahoney, but he would not hear to any

preferring, if he can, to win the events
ON his own merits.

The baseball team covered itself with
enough glory during the past fortnight 10
last the rest OF the season. 1t has been VIC

also beenlucky, by which 1 mean that upon
several occasions it has played in such care
less, slovenIy manner that it was lucky TO
win when it did. This should not be. No
team, however good, should underestimate
its opponents, or, having .'sized them up, >
it should never allow itself To do careless
work ItIeads to worse faults and ultimate
defeat.
