WITH COLLEGE ATHLETES
DOingu In the Field Of Sport in the
Fast and West.
TOO MANY ATHLETIC RULES EXIST
eennsyIvRniR Has Many Ineligible
Freshmen, OF whom There Are
Hopes for Next years
Athletic Teams.

Not only are the chances OF the Univer-
sity OF Pennsylvania very bright in track
and field sports this season. but the num-
Der Of men now ineligible because Of the
freshmen rule who win be qualified next
Eeason apparently points to great success
In after years for the Red ana Blue track
team. To keep these men busy there has
been arranged a good schedule OF meets
for them only and the Cornell freshmen
and the Mercersburg school boys will take
a whirl at the pennsylvania FIRST year men.
The list OF those who are not eligible APP
parently makes as strong a track team as
the list Of men now competing
Among the best Of the men IN H. H.
Hunter, dental school student, who comes
to the university from Australia with
fast record in the l0O-yard run. He did
Stb seconds in the Australian champion
ships in 1904 and has done 10 seconds on
several other occasions. He has good
marks In the 22O-yard run and in the broad
jump, His best performance, however, is
IN the shorter sprint and he will be very
useful in that when he is eligible.
There is another fast Splinter in the law
school in q. L. Parke, who holds the Rocky
mountain record for running 100 yards He
AeA NbhNANa Ahih AiHAhiiNt III nsB htGbuuhi
too, II the records Of the University Of
Utah are correct He has good perform
ance to his credit IN the furlong dash. It
may be that the air here, because It is not
so rarihed as In the mountain region, will
retard Parke from doing fast sprintinG
here. Mike Murphy thinks that such will
not be the case with the westerner.
Another very useful man in the track
events is ]. " Mulllgan. the former George.
town university relay man, who. scored ir
the intercollegiate championship In the
quarter-miie several years ago. Mullgar
has turned of 400 yards in 5Ot seconds
and in the two years he has left in which
20 represent Pennsylvania is expected tC
improve on that performance. Muligar
is expected TO be one Of the best performer
on the freshman one mile relay team. HI
is in the law school,
In Pike. who used to play foot ball ant
put the shot at swarthmore, there Is an
other athlete Of value. He IL in the med
ical school. Under good training he Is OK
peoted 70 improve immensely on his per
Torrance OF forty-two feet with the six
teen pound shot. In addition TO that he Il
likely to be OF value to the foot ball team
next fall He played tackle on the swarth
more eleven.
p. Macklin. who won prizes in man
interschola site meets in this city when h
was at St. Paurs school, Garden City
now Is in the mechanical engineering
course at the Philadelphia institution
Macklln never did much with the sixteen
pound shot, as most OF the interscholasti
contests are with the underground weight
He has put the underground shot out to
distance Of forty-one feet and It is ex
pected that he win be q very easy ma
TO train along TO first-rate performances
In addition 10 Maolklin and Pike are T. A
Macdonald. from st. Francis Xavier col
lege, and II. A. Reagan, from Andovei
who was quarterback Of the freshman foe
ball team last fall. Both these men hav
Zone better than forty feet with the shot.
|I1n the sprints there are some freshme
who look very good. One of the best G
these Is Hartranft, who comes from tn
high school in Canton. Pa. Hartranft
credited with an even time Performance
in the 100 yards and has done 2S% second
In the 2O-yard run. 1t seems that he mlgi
very easily have done better in the furlon
with ten-seoond burst Of speed for II
100 yards. He is being tried over II
hurdles now and Mike Murphy expect
that he win be q very useful man over II
sticks
A Pitsburg boy d. worrel, who won u
iO0-yard run FOR freshmen last year in Il
fall games at Franklin Field, is expectt
TO be a clever performer, He is built {
the lines Of Cartmell, which Is to say tht
he looks like Dick Dear in action. On Il
principle OF resemblance in style and Il
fact that Worrel in his high school da!
was accused OF 100 yards in even tim
great things are expected TO be coming
Worrel.
The sprlnting contingent is strengthen,
further by the presence Of L. D. Whithai
q brother OF the present captain Of n
university track team. Young Whitha
comes from the Germantown academ
where he has run the two sprinting al
tances in fast time. In build and style
q very like his brother. and Mike Murpl
