A BRIGHT OUTLOOK Many Candidates Out for New Haven High School Track
 Team.
 
NAVAL MEET TRIALS HELD
Captain Adams, Connolly, Fiefield and w. Carroll to be Entered in
 Relay Event.

The members of New Haven high school have finally shown real school spirit, for many of them are out for the track team, This fact has helped Captain Adams immensely in his pick ing out good team for most of these candidates are very good runners. The boys have been working energetically during the past few weeks at the Yale gymnasium, and are determined to have track team that will do New Haven high school proud.
 Although the team is new it is a very fast one, being composed mainly of light and capable runners. The members of the team expect to enter in the 4O-yard dash mile run and the l mile relay at the navals meet next Monday. Considering the way in which the boys have been running in practice their opponents will have to go some to keep up with them. No doubt the Hartford, Holyoke and Wa terbury high school teams expect an easy victory over the New Haven team owing to the lack of interest previous ly show here, but they will probably be sadly disappointed for the New Ha- ven boys are out to win, and have good chances of doing so.
 The meet at the Naval Reseryes' big event will practically make the first entry of the winter season of the N. H. H. s. team. In the meet at Hartford only Connors and Connolly ran. but failed 10 make good. This failure was greatly due to lack of practice, Connors has not yet decided whether he. will run in the coming meet or not, but in consideration of his good work in previous meets Cap tain Adams would probably. give him a place on the team should. he consent to run. Connolly, one of the fastest sprinters on. the team, will be the "big" man in the 40-yard dash AL though failing to make good in this event at Hartford, It Is expected that he will even matters up by coming out ahead this time. He has been in training and has done splendid work in practice.
 r Trials for the runners were held on Saturday, March .14. which, proved very successful in. bringing out the re- lay material Each member df the squad ran 40 yards, making, an aver age time of 51 seconds. This distance was accomplished by the Yale 1911 team in the average time of AS sec onds, The members who tried this were Connolly, Fieneld, W Carroll. Starkweather, Gustafson, Goldman and Adams. while Lehr. Cross and Adams tried the mile.
 The four who. made. the best time and who will probably compose the relay team are Adams, Connolly, .Fie- field and W. Carroll. However, Fie- field showed up we'll In the mile run, being given special trial Monday aft ernoon. He may compete in that event on condition that Connors should replace him 'on the relay. The men, who will run with Connolly in the 4o-yard dash, are Goldman and w. Carroll.
 Captain Adams of the track team is a very good runner and ought to make good showing at the meet. He has made very good records at previous meets winning creditable places. He as well as Lehr and Blakeslee was unable to go up to the Hartford meet on account of being sick. Blakeslee Is still unable to run. Some of the
 York Square students also coached the high school team.
