side the state that will participate in
the games. Jerry Delaney is training
the team, as everyone knows, and his
friends here want to see him have as
( good success as possible with the New
| Hampshire athletes Exeter has never
been very prominent in the indoor
games, and probably will not be this
year. Jones, the sprinter, and George
Hersey are looked upon as sure of
either first or second position in the 800
yards dash, are both over the age limit
which bars them out, although they can
compete for Exeter in the dual meet
ing with Worcester Academy which fol-
lows the interscholastics.
OF the other schools which will send
representatives, there is little to be said.
Andover, while prominent outdoors,
never does much in the indoor meeting,
and will not this year, unless dark
horses abound, and this is doubtful
owing to lack Of training facilities there.
But school that will be heard afrom is
Noble & Greenough's s of Boston. 1t Is a
small and select institution, but they
have in Baker, Rust and Coe, a trio that
alone are likely to get 10 points, and
that is more than the ~ G. boys, as
they are dubbed, have ever scored be-
! fore
From present indications it does not
look as if many of the indoor records
would be lowered. They are at present
! far better than those of any similar Or
! ganization in the country and would be
a credit to college men, to say nothing
of school boys.
Coe of Hopkinson ought to be the re-
! cord breaker of the meet, and put the
shot further than any interscholastic
man has done. The records are
N-H. c. Remington, E. H. s., 81
4 3-5 seconds.
SOO-W. NJ. Robinson, w. A., 96. So 1-5
seconds.
GOT. E. Burke, E. H s., '94, min
ute 20 2-5 seconds.
1O00-E. w. Mills, Berkeley, '97, 2

P. Wv. W. Hoyt, R. L. s, SO, 10

And now something about the pros
pective winners in the nine events. A
! year ago an entry list of 172 school boys
greeted the management, and about the
same number will compete this year.
/ with absolute accuracy the men who will
get the points Especially is this true at
indoor meetings, where the track is
comparatively small and where good
men may be so jostled and pushed
about in getting through the bunch, as
to be unable to get in among the
place winners. No interscholastic meet
/ ing has ever been wholly free from sur
prises and there may be two or three

come to the front when least expected
\ it is likely to upset calculations and
figure not a little in the settlement OF
the championship.
In the 4O-yard dash, Duffy is on public
form by all Odds the best thing in the
field. He has experience and is fast
He is doing 4 3-5 seconds in his work,
and will be in the best OF condition on
the day Of the games. Good judges who
saw his running at the B. A. A. games,
believed him the fastest man on the
floor, and he was placed in the fast 4C
yards invitation race, although he had
done a lot of running in the 40 yards
handicap in which he also won points
i Too much is expected of Butler in TINS
event He has been doing 80 seconds
but is not doing it today. A year ago
he ran in that time at the games He
may get second this year. Jones OF
\ Exeter could make them all hustle if not
deharred on account of his age limit.
4 For the places Lancy of Brookline,
Knowles of HopkinsQn, Baker of Noble
! & Greenough's and Evins Of Waban
are all likely candidates.
The 300 yards dash will have about
; the same field as starts in the 4O yards
The chances OF the respective men are,
however, somewhat different. Butler
for instance stands much better show
to win than in the short sprint. Indeed
} he ought to win the event, for he has
| always taken kindly to the distance
and his work in training has been fal
superior for the 300 yards than for the
40 yards Duffy is a good man for unis
heat, but finds 1t difficult to keep up his
speed in the repeat. George Hersey, if
allowed to start, could make all the
others know there had been race be-
fore the finish.
A battle royal should come in the SOC
yards between Dow of Cambridge high
and Latin and Rust of Mobiles. Dow ie
big, strong fellow, and has long,
steady stride. He ran from the % yards
mark in the B. A. A. games, winning his
heat and getting third in the finals, in
1:1715. Rust ran from the 80 yards mark
along with Knowles Of Hopkinson, and
finished first and second to Dow, but
seven yards handicap, Of course, counts
for considerable. Moran may do some
thing for the high school or Edwards
for the Academy, but these are both
doubtful men.
