Vice President-Arthur Andrews.
Sec. and Treas. Stills.
Football Board-Devine, '97; Dana 1913;
and Wentworth, '99.
A vote of thanks was extended to
Howard N. Skillings, the efficient retir-
ing manager. He officiated during the
last year, the most successful in every
way in the history of the association
They began the season with the most
unpromisingi team ever representing the
P. Fl. S. and came out with a better re-
cord than ever before. Financially it
was the same They began in debt $3.50
and ended by settling all bills and now
the association doesn't owe cent to any
one.
Next fall they Twill have as strong a
team as ever. They only lose Robinson
and Chapman this spring Chapman goes
to Bowdoin next fall and Robinson will
probably go to the Maine State College.
The members of the athletic team
which will represent Bowdoin at Worces-
ter May 20, have all been selected. and
the opinion is expressed that the team Is
by far the best that ever represented this
college
1t is not expected that tn team will
carry off first honors, but it is expected
that it will secure more points than ever
before.
The captain of this years team is
James H. Horne of Berlin. n. FL. He
gives promise of doing remarkable work
in the high hurdles before he finishes his
college course. Last year at the annual
games of the Maine colleges. he won first
place in all the hurdles and sprints, and
at the Worcester games took second place
in the high hurdles, being narrowly
beaten by Stephen Chase of Dartmouth.
He secured second place in the same
event at the annual indoor meet of the
Boston Athletic association last winter,
and at the Harvard games a week ago
won first position, beating such men as
Perkins Of Yale and Stephen Chase of
Dartmouth. He is regarded as a sure
second and possible first in the high
hurdles, and as reasonably sure of place
in the low hurdles.
L. E. Soule has won the two-mile run
with ease for two years. He has also en-
tered ir tine mile run.
@. r. @. Borden has taken third place
in the running high jump for two years,
and is expected to do equally we'll or bet.
ter this year.
j. II. Bates, perhaps the best all-round
athlete in college, is at his best in put
! ting the shot and throwing the hammer.
He has several times done work in prac-
| tice in these events sufficient to insure
him place at Worcester.
| G. 3. Kendall is Bowdoin's star III the
quarter-mile, and his friends will be dis
appointed if he does not win first place.
Stearns in the bicycle race, French in
| the hammer and shot events, Minot in
the pole vault, Pettingill in the mile
| walk and Mcmillan in the broad jump
| have all been doing good work in prao-
tice and are thought to have a good

Secretary May, Of the M. I. S. A. A,
has written letters to the representatives
of the various schools, recommending a
change of date of the spring meeting,
which was scheduled for June 18th, at
Waterville. 1t turns out that the Bow.

Thornton Academy also has her grad uat-
ing exercises on that day. necessitating
the representatives to the meet taking
the midnight train to get to Wateryille
in season. These two reasons conspire to
make the date most disadyantageous
one. The proposed date substituted is
June 9th.
