and the way he covers ground IS sur
prising. Merrill, 1900. has had the ex-
perience of two years at worcester

hopes to better his last years per-
Torrance at Worcester. Bacon, l9oJ,
captain of the baseball team. IS looked
upon as a dark horse in the dashes.
At the indoor meet this winter he won
the 20-yard dash, making new record
at Bowdoin for the distance. 1t is

son, '99, follows in the footsteps Of his
