The personnel of the team has not been
decided upon yet, but Mr.. L. c. Campbell,
WHO was elected manager Of the track
team last week, says he is confident that
the team viii bring the much-coveted
championship to this city. He bases this
belief on careful comparison OF records
made by teams last year giving a gen
eTous margin for any Improvement they
NAV have made, and even then he finds
that the work of his team is above that
average. Mr. F. L. Bscoe, who was elected
Captain of the track team, has the men in
charge. and just at present the Work Is
somewhat elementary. The men are work
ing this week in the Columbia Athletic Club
gymnasium, and. beginning with next
Monday. they vii! take UP active work
or Columbia Field An arrangement has
been made whereby the team is allowed
the use of the c. A. C. gymnasium and
field until the close of the college term
Following the Philadelphia games is the
dual meet with Georgetown College in the
latter part Of May. The Columbian men
figure that they VIII take at least three
or four events in that meet, and possibly
more.
In the early part of June the annual open
track meet Of the university VIII occur
and though the event is SO far off, 1t Is
looked forward to with great anticipation.
The indications are that there viii be
more interest taken in university track
athletics than ever before.
