There Is some very good baseball ma
terlal IN the Freshman class and with
the men of last years first and second
nines an exceptionally strong team is
expected to result from the cage work
and the practice trip next spring.
A more radical departure from tho
usual curriculum of the department is
the establishment of track souad
The men joining this track squad are
excused from the regular gymnasium
exercises Of the course. The aim of
this new branch is to keep track men
IN constant training through the entire
year. Cross country runs and sprints
will be the general work of the runners |
while the weight men will be kept at |
the hammer and shot. Stiff setting I'D |
drills and regular work with the chest |
weights will be exercises which all
joining the squad must go through.
The track squad is under the direction
OF Coach Morrill, and Captain Atwood.
