The prospects for a successful year In
track athletics are very encouraging
at the present time and from the way
in which the track candidates have
shown up SO far, it may reasonably be
expected that they will give a good ac-
count of themselves before the season
is oyeH Trainer Moulton, when inter
viewed by a Cardinal representative
this morning, stated that he was very
we'll satisfied with the work done 50
far by the men.
Cochems, who is the only candidate
for the shot put and hammer throw, is
in better form at present than he was
at this time last year, and it is expected
that he will lower the records that he
made in these events last year So far
no candidates have presented them
selves for the pole vaults In the high
jump, Waller Kraenzlein aud Mason
are improving steadily. This is the
strongest trio that we have had for this
event in some time OF the bicycle
men, Taylor and McNichol are the
most promising candidates. Both Of
these men have had considerable OK
pererce in this branch of athletics.

The annual field meet will be held at
Camp Randall next Saturday afternoon
and should be well attended.
II such thing is possible we should
send a representation East this year
to compete in the Mott Haven game.
There are better men in our track
team this year than we have had for a
long time and Trainer Moulton says
he feels confident that our representa-
tiyes could win out or at least make a
very creditable showing in those con-
tests, if they were given an opportun-
ity
An invitation has been received from
