NEW MEN DEVELOP

SQUAD
Dad MOuIfOn Has Hopes of Re-

Have Left

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Jan. 90.
The first week of active training upon
the part of the cardinal baseball, track
and rowing squads has been marked by
surprising developments. The little
work the men have done has served to
show the strong and weak points in the
lists and has given the coaches an ex-
cellent opportunity to base their future
efforts.
Upon the track the dry weather of
the last four days has caused gen
eral exodus of men who did not come
out at first, and the group of men now
signed up for this sport is larger than
at any other time in the past history
of athletics here. Captain Horton is
well pleased with the number, and
while doubtful as to the outcome Of the
season, due to the loss of SO many
point winners of last season, is inclined
to believe, If the freshmen show up as
well as they give promise, the varsity
may be able to capture the laurels
wrested last year by the blue and gold.
Dad Moultons spirits have returned
with the sunshine and he has been di-
viding his time between the old men
and his freshmen charges. He has kept
the old men at new stunts. Starts are
held every night for the sprinters. In
this department Stanford is to be
strong this year unless injuries occur.
The freshmen are getting more than
season is young. Several field events
are practically open, due to the failure
of Stanford's trio of broad jumpers to
return L. S. Scott seems to be the only
man of the varsity candidates who has
shown aptitude in this event. though
w NJ. Rawles 90, who has not been in
competition since his freshman year,
has done well.
In the high jump Dad Moulton has
made two finds. The lads who are ex-
citing interest here are two freshmen
who never had spikes on before com
ing. They are being taught the style
and should develop into varsity men
before the end of the season.
The pole vault is the third weak field
event. flanagan and Bellah We're the
cardinal men last year and neither is
in college. Scott and Waring are doing
better than any of the other candidates.
In the track events Stanford is uni
formly represented; Such men as Hol-
man, Bilwiller and Gardner are pos
sibly hundred men and 2:20 runners.
Rawles John o. Miller and Bill Wyman
are mentioned prominently for the
half miller, though Bradford, holder of
the mile record is a good second, and
Millsap, a freshman, comes here with
an excellent high school record. Billy
Adams and McGregor are possible two
miIers, while Bradford and MeGregor
are the first thought of in half this dis
lance. In the hurdles Captain Horton.
Gregg, Peasley and Morriss are all old
