make an accurate estimate of the rela-
tive strength of the track teams OF
Yale, Harvard and Princeton for the
coming season, says the Yale News, 6
general idea may be gained by consid-
ering the old and promising material In
each of the universities. And despite
the loss of such men as r. c. Perkins
and f. 7. Van Buren, in the hurdles; G.
D. Cheney and II. T. Weston in the
| broad jump, and D. C. Byers and F. V.
Chappell in the sprnts, the prospects Of
strong team for Yale are very bright
F. A. Blount 1900, c. c. Conway, '99
S., R. M. Graft, SO s., f. H. Warren, SO
| S., and G. j. Gleason, 1900 have already
given evidence of their abilities and the
success Of Yale in the sprints at the
| Mott Haven games rests with them. In
the quarter mile besides T. r. Fisher,
SO S., G. +. Luce, 1900 and c. T. Dudley,
| 1900 S., d. Boardman, 1902, gives promise
of becoming good runner. The strong
| half-mile men are c. e. Ordway, 1900, j.
p. Adams, 1900, and w. D. Bremen, 1900
S. The mile men, c. B, Splitter, '99, c.
X Palmer, 80 S., H. Speer, 1900, II. P.
Smith, 1900 and S. B. Chittenden, who
did so we'll in the cross country runs
last fall, are all able to make fast time.
j. j. Peter, 1900 S., c. w. Cady, 1901 aud
w. F. Berger, SO, all Of whom were fast
men last year, have showed signs of i'm
provement already.
Candidates for the field events are few
in number, but those who stand out as
promising candidates are: High jump,
E. c. Walker, SO S.; broad jump, w. F.
B. Berger, '99 S.; F. D. Cheney, 1900;
pole vault, R. G. Clapp, 80 S., B. John
son, 1900, and Ward; shot put, A. L.
Gile, L. S., H. Richardson, Jr., 1900 S.;
hammer, S. B. Sutphin, 80 s., e. E.
Marshall, so S., and G. B. Gluten, T. S.
The University of Pennsylvania WILL
as usual have an exceedingly strong
team. In the sprints Tewksbury will be
able to hold his own against any man,
while Alexander Grant will without
doubt win number of points for Penn
s,ylvaniai in the long distance runSl
Kraenzlin, who also has a record of if
ty seconds in the quarter. and Reming-
ton are both expert hurdlers. ]. c. Nc
Cracker is the only really first-class
man in the weight events, but Hare,
captain of the football team, is said to
have considerable ability. 1t appears
that the team is strong in every event
and it seems to have the best chance for
first place in the Mott Haven games.
In addition to the fact that Harvard
will lose none, with the exception of Bre-
mer of those men who won points in the
games last year, the team
will be materially strengthened by T. E.
Burke, the quarter miller, and Quinlan
who formerly represented Fordham.
Both of these men We're ineligible last
season owing to rules relating to men
from other colleges. Burke
has a record of 4S As seconds in the
quarter and Quinlan is said to have run
the hundred in ten seconds. Other ad-
ditions among the freshmen are Con-
verse, who holds the interscholastic rec
ord in the low hurdles; Winslow, who |
holds the same record in the quarter
mile; and Shrk, from Worcester acade- |
ny, with a record of As seconds in the |
high hurdles. Butler of Worcester ID |

the half mile are also expected to do |
we'll. In the weight events there are
Spear and Campbell of Worcester. and
Brown, of ST. Paul's school, Long Is
and, who holds the record in the Ma
ional Interscholastic association.
The losses which will be most serious
y felt by Princeton this year are those
# Rush and Potter. 1t will be almost
to fill their places Captain
Iregan will without doubt bring several
points to Princeton, however, while Jar
lis, as well as Bottger and Ripley, the
and bicycle rider, may be
ounted upon. Other old men from I
whom something may be expected are ;
CARROLL, Gaskill Jones, Palmer and
Wheeler. Lathrope and Booth both
ootbal men, are promising candidates
or weight events as we'll as the fresh
nen Mills, Pell, Caldwell, Riley and {
Kinney. OF these, Kinney is without
oubt the best !
