1t appears that Latter Day Saints Uni
verstty track team is going 10 cut a
cSSInsideraole ,SIs swath in the track season
which is being made ia all branches OF
the work
Coach Milne is putting the boys through
tory OF the school have the prospects s
been so bright. With every man hut
one OF last years squad back and any
amount OF good new material Milne saws
hiatt 1t Will be possible to show the hest
OF them good time. Last year the team
came our In the state track meet with
second honors and this year they hope
TO better that record The men. about
twenty-five In number, have been work
ing out FOR over month and all are re-
ported TO be rounding TO in remark q Bile
style.
Under the able leadership OF McAlIster.
the Saints star sprinter the boys are
laboring and great success looks brighter
al the close OF each daily practice. Long
runs over the hills 10 the north Of the
school. sprints around the circle of gravel
sidewalks about the school and work In
me gymnasium is what the boys are de-
pending upon for their Development,
Coach Milne has had them under fire
several times this spring and SAYS that
there VIII be some surprises when the
dime comes. Among the best of the men
are the two Perry brothers and McAlls-
ter' VINO are reported TO be doing some
remarkable work in the running and
sprintine events There are about ten
otners VINO are out for the sprnts and
al are said TO be doing well. For the
field stunts, Milne claims that he has any
number Of good performers and says that
The school Will this year be by far
stronger than ever before This Includes
all but the weight events, which have
heretofore been cared for by big Joe
smith. There are several good men who
are probable candidates for Smiths place
and one or two that al present bid fair
TO nearly equal Smiths records.
The great need OF the L. -. s. boys now
rNln n. .t.l.
Great Inconvenience Is found in the pres
ent training place which consists only
OF a length OF sidewalk In front OF the
school buildings and a 6o-foot lot to tbe
rear OF the school. This latter Is sspe
cially inconveDient when II comes 10 Inc
hammer throw and such events. For
sever several Yea years The directors Of the school
nave been saving that they intend TO
buy up the northern portion of the block
ana convert II into a campus but I'D 10
the the present time nothing In that line
mas materalized. Efforts were made last
year TO have the students OF the school
build campus in the lot back OF the
school. This was partially completed and
the track boys are hoping that the stu
dents VIII get another ambitious streak
this year and complete the work IYnrii
So,nething SON IN IN that line is done the boys
tlculties. II Is possible that they will
try 10 negotiate with the fair ground pso-
pie Tor the use OF the race track located
IN IN the grounds for training purposes AS
TOT track meets this year the Saints will
no doubt have an abundance Necotia
tions have been nearly completed Tor a
meet with the Agricultural college OF
Logan. and another with the 3. Y G OF
Logan, The dates have not been fixed
as yet, and in fact the meets are not sure
but the manager of the local team saws
that he VIII do all In his power to bring
them on. The great event to which the
boys are looking is the State meet. They
are expecting TO spring a great surprise
IN this. Milne says that work will he
kept UP In earnest manner from now on
and he hopes 10 have his squad picked
by the first OF April
