feat Fast Fields to Win at
Milwaukee.
Board of Control Decides to Send
Hurdler and Mile Runner to
A. A.. u. Meet.

The varsity board of athletic control
held special meeting yesterday and de-
cided to send Mike Bockman and .. Har-
oldson to Milwaukee to compete In the
Amateur Athletic union indoor meet Sat-
urday evening Bockman will enter both
hurdle races, and Harolcson will start In
the mile run. The board decided that
money was too scarce to permit of send
ing d. relay team. =
Bockman and Haroldson are both in
good physical condition. They have Kept
in training since the close Of the football
season last fall. Bockman probably is
the best hurdler in the west this year, !
since the great ,Mooney has retired, and |
has a good chance Of winning both the
high and low events. He will be pitted
against a field Of fifteen or twenty start
ers, however, among them such veteran
runners as, Schulz of Wisconsin. Friend
of Chicago, and Nufer, the old Michigan
hurdler, now running for the First regi-
ment team. Barring. accident, however,
Bockman is certain of places in both
events.
Haroldson has improved greatly in form
since last spring, and is expected to- get
a place in the mile event. He will have
to hurry, however, to beat out such men
as Breitkreutz Hahn, and Post@of Wis
consin, who run under the colors Of the
Milwaukee A. c., and Hall of Chicago
who holds the indoor record. .. e.a..5. e.

| Frank Schoenfuss, who up to a few days
ago was regarded only as an unusually
good baseball pitcher, has now come for
ward as the best shot putter Harvard ever
had and a likely aspirant for the inter-
collegiate record. With the sixteen pound
ball in the Hemenway gymnasium he put
the weight 40 feet, 8 inches, which is only
Is inches less than Beck's record breaking
l;put at the Mott Haven games last Spring,
