E An interesting letter from Mike Muir
Ephy, the Yale trainer, says the New
#lYork Evening Sun, reads as follows:
nj will give you general idea of the
linen training for the Intercollegiate
championships under my direction. To
Ebegin with, the only man I have left
Epver in the runs from last year is Bur-
Ehett. He is running better than ever
Before; is fast and in good shape, and
LII he holds his form until the 30th he
$bught to win something. Chapel is a
|Fnew man. His fault is that he can't
&get started until the race is nearly
#bver when he invariably shows a fine
#purst of speed. If can make him run
a little in the first fifty he ought to
go as fast as any Of them in the dash.
I'VE have lost Byers, our best 220 man.
4 trained him for this event with great
eare, but the faculty took him off the
Efeam. Fisher, Caravan and Chapel will
have to do the running in the 220 and
The first two along with Gerard will
Run the 440. Caravan is quite good
inan this year, for he has improved
Wonderfully. Fisher runs strong and
well, and ought to get sprint. Hinck-
| ley is the only good one I have in the
$50; he can do a trifle inside two min
htes. have several others who are
GOOD for 2:02, but of course they cannot
win. Buckingham is new man in the
mile He runs well for green one,
and can't say how good he is, for he
beat Laing easily last Saturday with
lots to spare, but the time was not
Hast, owing to the wind In the mile
walk Thrall ought to win, for he is in
Shape and going very fast; Darrock is
Also good. Over the 100 hurdles Per-
llxins can travel inside 16 seconds; Hatch
Is not yet himself, and then I have
Thompson, Van Ingen and Van Buren,,
hll good for 16 3-5 seconds. For the 900
hurdles Yale has Perkins, Sheldon,
Fewsmith and Conner, with the first
Two about the best. At the pole vault
Nan Wrinkle can do 10 feet 10 inches
and we have two or three more doing
about 10 feet 6 inches. At putting the
shot we have lost Brown, who is on
The crew, and so Sheldon is our best
man Sheldon is brother to the cap
tain of the team and he ought to win
f he equals his best practice work
Beck is also pretty good one and he
ian do about 40 feet For the ham
ner we have Cross, who is sure to dc
hbout 1856 or 140 feet. Chadwick is good
For 1875 or 1870, and Beck and Hickok
hbout 125 feet. In the broad jump we
have Sheldon, and then four Others
who do around p feet inches, and any
bne of them may improve a foot. AS
high jumpers, Merwin and Gerard have
bach cleared feet in practice, and in
competition each is credited with {
feet II inches. / have a clever lot OF
men for the bicycle races, and I ought
10 do something at Manhattan Beach
br the 9th. Our riders are fast and
Strong. McFarlane is perhaps our best
man, although Hill. Butler and Tweedy
bre also good. We also have several
others we will send down. To sum up
think we will hold 'em all and WIN"
NOTES.
