There seemed TO be a rather general
expectation among Harvard men that

Dodge scored in the dual meet with Yale
and ran third in the go yard run In the
Intercollegiate. Last year he won the 220
yard run against Yale and again was third
in the race in the Intercollegiate. He ran
second TO Lockwood in the Harvard-Yale
100 yards this year and won the 200 yard
run. He did not score in the lntercolle-
gate games this year.
Cornell's captain is F. B. Townsend, a
New York city boy, who has scored every

Princeton has chosen for captain next
year John C. Alice, a quarter mile runner,
who has been consistent throughout his
career at the New Jersey college as a hard
intercollegiate quarter mile this year and
has scored points with great frequency
in the past three years in the dual meets.
He is another popular choice. Columbia's
track captain for 1908 is Anthony b. link,
a half miller, who will be a junior the coming
year. link has done better work in dual
meets than in the intercollegiate races.
He is a fast man and is credited with a per-
Torrance better than 1 minute, SO seconds

that he would at least score il not win the
intercollegiate race. He did not qualify.
He also failed to come TO the front in the
low hurdles. Young is national and Ca
madam 100 yard champion and also won the
junior 220 yard championship. he is eX-
pected to make good in the intercollegiate
games next year, as he did when he was a
first year man at Syracuse in 1905.
The choice of the Williams College track
team for leader for the coming season is
Gilbert HorraX, who comes from Montclair
and who made a considerable showing in
this neighborhood in interscholatsic com
petitions before he entered Williams. He
devoted himself more especially TO the
hurdles in college and only recently pinned
down to doing n thing, the high
jump. He created a New England Inter
collegiate Association record in the high

in the games at Cambridge, going close to
