The weather has seriously handi
capped the track team in their spring
training. With the Appleton meet only
few weeks off and the field covered
with snow the prospects do not look
very promising. Work mas been done
indoors, and Saturday the track was
used little Cut the hard work that is
needed about this time to get the men
into condition can not be done If the
track and field dry off by Saturday a
class meet may be pulled off.
This spring Wausau tried to get a
meet with Grand Rapids, Stevens Point
and Amigo Amigo and Grand Rapids
have both turned the proposition down
and the chances are that Stevens Point
| will also on account of the weather.
This leaves only two meets for the
Wausau team, Appleton and Madison.
