and will be satisfied If it scores III ~
initial appearance at the games.
Bray. Potter, Patterson, Rooney
Little and Park are among the best
men of the Williams team, and looked
for among point winners by Williams
College men. In the class games OF
that college several days ago. Rooney
did excellent running in the century on
a heavy track negotiating the distance
in 10 lbs. Patterson, who is a brother
of the famous William College sprint
err, made the furlong in "A seconds,
creditable performance. Ldttle's work
in the two mile run was probably the
star performance of the day he alo
the distance in ION. 80 lbs. In making
the time. he lowered the record held by
Bray by IS seconds. Potter is hurdling
in good shape and will surely score for
his team. Bray was a disappointment
in the games last year, but it was plain
to everybody that the crack distance
runner was out of condition He is in
good form now, and will be heard from
in the games.
M. I. T. is looked on as horse OF
sombre hue on account of the way its
| athletes trimmed Brown. The Tech
nology boys showed great strength in
| the track events. The team had the
misfortune to lose Horn, formerly Of
Worcester Academy, in the class games
a few DAYS ago, but he is expected to
round out in good form for the COM
ing games. He won the high hurdles
against Brown, Wentworth is also a
good man in that event, and either Of
the pair is credited with being able to
make Paul Potter feel he has been in a
race. Garrett of Technology is
smashing half-miler, and he is bound
to be in somewhere near the top. Field
is picked to show his heels to the ruck
in the two-mile run,
r. H. Klaer captain of Amherst
Athletic team, writes The Spy as fol-
lows concerning the chances OF his
team: eve will take down perhaps 10
men. Curtenius in the 100 and 22O yard
dashes should get second place at
least. He won first in both events last
year. Gladwin may get a place in
the quarter, but it is doubtful
However, he win probably get
a place in the broad jump. Dudley, in
the bicycle race, will probably be
among the leaders. Winslow won first
in throwing the discus last year, but
he has not improved much since then.
The men are in fairly good form at
present We have a meet with VIII
liams and Wesleyan, the new triangu-
lar league, June 8, so the men will not
be trained as though the Worcester
meet was the last, but with some re-
gard to the meet June 3. We expect
to score in the dashes, probably in the
quarter broad jump, shot and discus.
The team will quarter at the Bay State
House during its stay in Worcester.
Francis K. Baxter, captain Of the Al.
L T. track team, writes The Spy as FOL
lows: Concerning our athletic team l
will say that we have a good one. AS
YOU probably know, we defeated AM
herst College in the dual meet which
we held with them last year, and this
year we won our dual meet with
Brown University. 1t is an acknowl-
edged fact that Brown and Amherst
Colleges are the two strongest mem
bers of the N e. I. A. A., outside of
williams. Nevertheless. 1 think our
chances at Worcester are rather poor
because certain Of the teams have more
sure point winners than we have. For
instance. Brown won of the Is firsts
in the dual meet which we held with
them this spring. Again we won all
three places in the pole vault at Brown.
and we probably won't get a place at
Worcester. I don't mean to say that
we have lost all hopes of winning at
Worcester for we have not and we feel
quite sure of being among the first
three teams. At present our men are
in fairly good condition and viii proba
bly, be in excellent condition by the day
of the meet"
