Bowdoin College track team left on
the 100 train this afternoon for Orono
to compete in the Maine intercollegiate
track meet tomorrow. A large body OF
students was at the station to see the

every train through the night and to-
morrow morning bearing its quota.
Special rates have been secured by
Manager Robinson and all cuts in reel

have been secured at
Orono where the men may keep up their
training table diet with provisions
from the training table supplies here
Nothing has been left undone in train
ing or practice.
Unless there are athletes in the other
three Maine colleges who are much
better than any that have been heard
from thus far. Bowdoin men do not
see how their team can be defeated
Saturday at Orono.
Fifty-elght points were won last year
By 13 Bowdoin men. Of that number.
Sanborn. who won third place in the
800 and 320-yard hurdles. and Brig
ham. who tied for second place in the
high jump. have been graduated, while
Burt Morrill,. who won first IN the
shOtput and running broad jump and
third in the discus and hammer has
become a professional track coach, and
although still student. is coaching
Eowdoin this year for money. These
three men represented 16 points.
To offset them there are Captain At
wood and Pencil, who were unable
to compete last year owing to injuries
and Mcfarland. who was not eligible
last year. Captain Atwood is counted
on fer points in the 100 and 2,0-yard
dashes and broad jump. in which events
he won places in 1906 and 1907.
Penneli should win second in the high
JUMP. v Iltll Ilt ull III tllost tNo NCoi
and Mcfarland. who holds the inter-
scholastic record for both hurdle events
and the broad Jump. should have little
difficulty in landing places.
The college. however. looks to the
Class of 1910 to win the meet. Col
bath. the holder Of the States records
for the mile and two-mile runs: Slo-
cum. who was second in the two-mle
last year and won first place in the
two-mile at the New England meet;
Edwards who holds the record in the
22a-yard hurdles; Denning. who has
won the pole vault two years; War
ron, who has done the same in the
hammer: Newman. who landed second
in the s!:otput last year; Rowell, who
did the same in the discus. and Bal
lard. who took third place in the 100
and 22ovard dashes. are all members
of that class. 1t was these men who
won second place for Bowdoin at the
New England Intercollegiate track
meeting last year and since that time
have improved considerably.
OF the Freshmen, Burlngame broke
the indoor record in the pole vault this
winter. and should easily win that
event and also the high jump. Nc
Kenney looks good in the 1o0-yard dash
and Reynolds in the 440-yard run. while
Frank Smith is expected to win places
IN the pole vault and weights.
OF the upper claSsmen who never be-
fore won points. Harry Robinson
looks good in the mile. Bob Morss in
the quarter. Crosby and Hastings in
the hammer. Clifford in the shot and
Simmons in the half. Many Bowdoin
supporters are counting on the Black
and White winning about SO points,
with Maine As. and the remainder very
evenly divided between Bates and
Colby.
