ORS THIS SEASON.

Captain Philbrook of the Whitman
college track team has called a meet
ing of the track men of the institution
for this afternoon at o'clock to get
men interested in spring athletics and
to find out where Whitman is going to
be this year on the oval.
"Spud' Murphy, when he comes
about April l, will find the track men
already getting into fine condition an
der the direction of Philbrook, who is
himself one of the best all round ath-
letes in the northwest. The big fellow
is versat tile and does all kinds of stunts
from high jumping and hurdling to
I throwing weights. and is therefore
competent to instruct.
From all indications, Whitman will
have a good team this year, although
the loss Of Cody" Cox will be much
and quarter, two new men will have to
be developed. Martin will, however,
take care of the sprints and even if
he is moi as fast as last year will win
them all in walk Cox will be a good
second man. In the quarter mile Barnes
and Oldright will be reliable man for
top places and Oldright can be counted
upon to do great things this year in
the half In the mile Hawley should this
year be a good man. Phlbrook. Lyman,
Barnes, Fletcher, Cox and Fee. will do
the hurdles Philbrook will high jump,
also, as we'll as putting the discus and
shot. He will possibly enter the ham
mer event this year. Graham Will be
the main stay in that department and
will also throw the discus. put the shot
and enter the middle distance runs.
Fe'thouse should make good record
in the pole vault this season. He has
IshoWn up we'll during the last two
years and will be better than ever. Be
sides these old timers, many new men
are in school who will be out this year
for points and there are some who give
every promise of becoming good track
Iatbetes.
Whitman will have a new meet this
year, which will be the fisrt ever held
with the University of Oregon in the
city. Oregon has a good team and will
Du. up one of the best all around teams
she has ever had. Whitman will meet
IT,. University of Washington at Sc
