YALE NOTES.
Prospects for Next Years Track Team
Gym. Contest Tonight.


1t is by no means easy to predict the
future of the team from the fact that
so many of the old men did not train
this fall, or at least did not compete in
the games.
The spring training will begin about
the middle of January and shortly af-
ter this date the long distance men will
begin regular out-of-door running. All
freshmen who train for the track team
will be excused from the evening gym
nastic work. Too much emphasis can
not be laid on the necessity for every
candidate for the track team to keep
up his stand on account of the scholar
ship eligibility rule.
Among those who will train next
spring who were not out this fall are
Graft, Fisher and Byers in the sprints;;
Lewis, Palmer, Speer,, w. Johnson and
Buckingham in the long-distance runs;
c. d. Cheney and Weston in the broad
jump; b. johnson in the pole vault and
Chadwick in the hammer. The fall
work, as was indeed intended, has
brough out a great many freshmen,
tn!rty-nine of the ninety-seven men to
enter 70. the fail games being from
1901 ard 1900 s. OF the new men the
performances of II. H. Richardson. cap
tain of last years Andover track team,
in the half-mile and f. Walter in the
high jump, are especially good, and the
sprinting of Richards gives great prom
Use. ]. J. Peter runs we'll over hurdles
and can make a very good broad jump,
but in the latter event, spiked himself
nllifp pAr1V In tha nnn1rnhfitinn q nd had
to stop. Richardson and J. w. Falls
did the best running Of the freshmen
in the paper chase series. 1t remains
to be seen what men will come out to
train for the track team who were play
ing football this fall, but several Of
them are known to be good in track
athletics, among whom is Dudley. The
situation can only be summed UP in the
most non-committal way by saying
that no team can. win the intercollegiate
| next year, with the sharp competition
that is assured, without the most faith
| full training.
The following is the programme for
the fall gymnastic meet, to be held this
| evening in the gymnasium at o'clock:
