Then. again, a craze has broken out among
Western men for Eastern colleges, and every
athlete in the front rank wants to try his
fortune with one Of the Big Four. These
boys from the wild and woolly' land think
that athletes In the Eastern colleges are
more literally treated than in the West.

seems to have oorralled the biggest lot
ofnew ones. When the men were marshalled

has returned to college, despite reports
that he would not come back, and he will
again be an important factor in the 100

the most prominent is Wilcox, from the
DE Iancey school, who has a record Of
2 minutes 3-5 seconds for the half mile.

than ordinary merit for their age, both
being better than II seconds over the high
