Bowdoin looks to spring some sur
prises. 1t has done so, and it is easily
seen that Bowdoin has a license to do
so again.
TheSBowdoin team will be captained
by Edward r. Godfrey of Bangor, who
has the reputation of holding for a
long time the championship as college
strong man Of the colleges of the coun-
try. 1t is confdentally expected that
he will beat the college record Of put
ting the shot this year. Hal Hunt, the
old Bangor high school athlete, is run
ming very fast. He is a strong man at
the hurdles and at running broad
jump. F. B. Merrill is thought by
many to be the fastest sprinter at Bow
doin. Perhaps the most promising man
in college who is training for the Wor-
cester meet is Edwards 1900. He is the
swiftest low hurdler in the college, and
by many is considered the fastest man
who has ever represented Bowdoin at
an intercollegiate meet.
Wesleyan expects to come in for
points with Capt. Ellington in the
shorter runs. Hurlburt is generally
conceded first place in the pole vault
He has repeatedly cleared the bar at
II feet and on performance leads all
the vaulters Of other colleges.
Tufts labors under a handicap, its
gymnasium not being supplied with a
running track. Dick Williams, who is
credited with doing the century in
AS, and Donohue, who was second in
the bicycle race in Worcester in 1896,
are regarded as point winners.
Browns best athlete is the captain,
D. c. Hall. He will surely score in the
distance runs. In the Boston College
indoor meet he did the two mile in 10
minutes. Brown is exceptionally weak
in the short runs He is fairly strong
in the field events.
University Of Maine will bring half
dozen men ard will be content with
scoring.

and two mile runs, the men running
are Hawley, '01, who won third at the
B. A. A. meet, Longstreet, '01, and Wig
gins, '01. There are no particularly
good men trying for the hurdles.
In the field events, Amherst will be
weak. Phillips. 02, is the best in the
pole vault In the broad jump, beside
GIadwin, are Field, '01, who won third
against Williams, Herrick, '02, and
Phillips, 02. In the high jump are
Capt. Klaer Lyall, 100, and Smith, 'O2.
In the weights the only old man out
is Winslow, so. He won the discus
throw at worcester and the shot-put
at the Williams meet last year. The
other men are Haviland, 49, Ballantine
01, captain Of next years foot ball
team, ELAN, 'O1, Gladwin, '01, Blan-
chard, '02, and Phillips 02.
In the two-mile bicycle race are
Dudley 90, who won in the triangular
meet in '97, and at the Williams meet
in '9S; Cleeland, '02, a new man, with
considerable reputation as a rider
Brooks, 100, who was captain Of the
POLY Rrep" track team, and But
Ter, 'O1.

Trophies for Prize Winners
Said to Be Best Ever Civ
en- By Association.

The trophies for which athletes of
New England colleges will compete at
the oval tomorrow were shown in f.
A. Easton's window yesterday and uni
versally admired. Medals are offered
to point winners in each event, gold to
first, silver to second, and bronze to
third. The medals are suspended from
a bar of the same material, on which
is subscribed the event for which they
are offered. On the medal itself is the
figure of an athlete in relief. They are
pronounced the best set of medals
ever given by the association.

Amherst regards It's prospects as Ialr,
despite the knowledge that the fresh
men class did not bring in much mate
rial OF the men now training for the
100 and 220 yard runs, Curtenius is by
far the best. He won both of these
events at Worcester last year. and is
the fastest Splinter the college has
ever had. The other good men are
Shepard, '02, Burden. 90, and McDuffie
700.
The best man in the quarter is Glad
win. OF. He Is also the best in the
broad jump. He won second in this
event at both the Worcester and Will
liRms meets.
In the half-mile, Capt. Klaer is show
ing up in fine shape. He won the half
in the Williams meet, and is also the
best high jumper in college. The others

Dartmouth is uncertain. That is a
faculty which Dartmouth has developed
to a remarkable degree.
Dartmouth loses a few valuable men
this year Cakes, '99, who has for three
years won points in the weight events,
has left college; Collar, $50, two years
ago the record quarter-miler of New
England, has been unable to run for
two years; and ex-Capt. Chase, who
generally wins points in the hurdles
and jumps, is still incapacitated.
To offset these reverses, H. H. Sears,
who two years ago made lightning
finish in the 220-yard finals at Worces-
ter and won the needed three points to
bring Dartmouth the championship, has
rejoined the team after being away two
years. McDavitt is another strong man
in the dashes, a point winner last year.
Hubbard, '02, is also a most promising
man.
Cornell, O2, an Everett MASS. }
freshman; Edison of Worcester another
freshman and T. w. Chase, of three
years experience, are expected to win
points in the hurdles. In the quarter
mile, Haskell, a sophomore, is running
in better form than last year; Dow, '02,
should win a place in the half-mile (;
Moody, 90, who pushed Wright at Wor-
cester in the two-mile and mile runs
two years ago, is again in form, and
should be heard from. Paddock, 90,
Wood SO, and Hubbard, 'O2, are other
possible point winners.
Mcintyre, who won a place in the BIZ
cycle event last year, is expected to do
even better this year. Wilder, who
two years ago broke the intercollegi-
ate record in the pole vault, is too
heavy this year, but he should win a
place in that event. and is also sure to
get points in the weight events. Capt.
Collar, '99, will appear in the jumps
this year, as will ex-Capt T. w. Chase.
The weight events will be cared for
by Corson, Proctor and Newman,
