Beautiful Glass Trophy.

place Saturday afternoon on the college

classes for the athletic trophy, a beautiful
silver cup. 1t was won last year by '9s,
| but who will be the winner tomorrow is
not at all certain as the freshmen who
| won the indoor meet last winter have
some fine athletes who are likely to take
number of points that are counted a
sure thing for the other classes. Cotton,
Fogg, Douty and Hooke are all expected
to make good showing for 1900.

promising men are Fogg. 1900; Noble,
'97 Cotton, 1900; Robinson, '9S; Baker,
'97; Spencer, '99.

and will probably be the first to cross the
tape in this event.

Robinson, Chase and Waldron, all of '99
struggling for honors. This will be a
| close race.
In the 220 yard hurdle the race will be
between Spencer, 80 and Cotton, 1900,

| by the Olympic games last year in
| Greece; Pike, McFadden of '9S, Putnam,
