has a hard man TO beat 10 Cozzens The
latters best time for this distance Ia 10 2-5
seconds which he accomplished in winning
the outdoor championship year ago. Baloln
took second place In the indoor champion
ships, but Co2zens was In very bad shape
on that occasion and II Ia not likely that
Baloln could have beaten him on even terms,
Sneylly came in fourth, and although he
looks good for a place he may be saved for
the longer distances, the quarter mile being
his speciality.
IN the ?gO will be seen an equally fine field
with Sanford and Colzens, McNulty and
Mccormack Of Erasmus and Blum and Baloin
Of Morris, ColZens's record for this event
Is - seconds. and Sanford covered the ground
IN the same time at the Princeton games pre-
ylously mentioned. so If this pair are at TOP

night between them for first place may be
looked for. George McNulty OF Erasmus

meets this winter. equal in the record for the

Lynch OF Manual Is another quarter miller OF
class. Sneriy Of Boys High is expected TO
accomplish something. The fact that ne can
not take the corners well prevents him from
doing much indoors, but on a larger track
he can give any OF the three others a hard
run.
