larry fast time, but he ran well enough to
show that he is gradually. getting back
into condition. Whiteley IL really some
weeks behind in his training owing to
physical disability, and he was able to
run a fair half mile In the relay games and
again in the Caledonian games. Proba-
bly, before the intercollegiate meet comes
around he will be back to his form OF
two years ago..
The time in the distance rum in the
Caledonian games was not fast, but 1t was
slow time done by men who are known
to be capable Of better performances.
A most disappointing feature OF some OF
the results in the games--disappointing
as far as this years track team is con-
cerned is that the winners were fresh
men. Sawyer. who was INST in the quarter
in 81 seconds; Koehler, who won thet two
mile run; the men who tied for first
place in the high jump, Dell and Bartlett,
and Hart, who won the shotput. are first
year men. Ia fact, the work Of the fresh
men was by all odds the feature OF the
games. Bladk. the former Mercersburg
runner, who il captain Of the freshman
track team. was third in the hundred and
freshman, Perkins, was third in the FUR
long. Besides Sawyer, who was first
in the quarter, Mckinney, another fresh
man, was third.

was only "a inches behind Dowd IN the
broad jump. Adams took second. Hart,
who won the shot put with IL feet 4 inches,
had a classmate. Bissell, who was third
with 40 feet u, inches. These facts
indicate that Princeton next year should
be very strong on the track IL these men
hold their form and do. well in their
studies.
Apparently Princeton is attracting good
performers from the schools and they
are getting proper training from Coach
COPELAND. SO that they are developing well.
1t Is SOME years since Princeton has made
anv prominent showing in he iptercol-
legiate track games and alumni and
undergraduates arc hoping that this
year will mark q difference.
