MANY MEN FOR TRACK TEAM.
Trainer LathrO p Has the Choice OF 800
Candidates at Harvard.

CAMBRIDGE. March e.-The Harvard track
team SQUAD now numbers about three hundred
men who work regularly, aGd from fifty TO
seventy-fve who work spasmodically. This is
the largest squad that Harvard has had for
many years, but not a great deal of new ma
terial has as yet been discovered,
Capt. Dives has Jim Lathrop for his trainer
this year. and Lathrop is assisted by W. Il.
Quinn, who il well known about New York
as a trainer in field events. Quinn"has charge
OF the shot puttars, the hammer throwers
and the pole vaulters, and thus far he has
had signal success. Harvard's indoor track
season has closed, except that a relay team
will be sent down to the New York Athletic
Club games on March ~.
The promising men in the sprints are Dodge,
who was second string to Billy Schlck last
year: Doyle. who hurdled last year. aud Phil
Lockwood. who was a substitute fullback
on the varsity eleven last fall, and who was
on the sprinting squad last year. Dodge
gave promise last year of developing into a
phenomenal runner. but he has had a nervous
breakdown this winter, and may be unable
TO run.
In the quarter mile Harvard will be strong,
with Capt. Dives for a first string man and
Ioring Young and Dorman as h is under
studies. Dives has a good racing record,
and this wear Is in better condition than be-
fore. IOring Young is one of the fastest
indoor runners that Harvard has ever had.
and he Ia expected to develop into a good
outdoor quarter miller this spring.
In the half mile Harvard has just one re-
liable mani. II. Whitman. who took second
place in the event against Yale last year.
The other men in this event will all have to
be developed, and as yet none of promise
has been found.
In the distance runs Harvard starts with a
good squad. Turner, who took a place in
the mile run last spring, is faster than ever,
and Minot. Dana, Sutherland and Hubbard
men are King, who won the race In the dual
meet two years ago; Howard and Stone;
both OF whom were placed last year. and
Miller, a Marathon runner of some speed.
The hurdles look like the weakest spot in
the team just as they were last year. ar Rogers;
hurdle race last year. is the only point winner
IL these events back in college. and he he is not
promising newcomer is Rand. a freshman
from Exeter. who has an ideal build, for a
hurdler, and who has, shown steady i'm;
at work In this event. and hopes to find one
or two good men out OF, the NIFTY. ~
