good conditions ~ any cinder quarter

| fair day there are several records that
are apt to be broken, judging from the
dope Of those who have followed IN"
| teams.
| Each college will send large delega-
tons in addition 10 their respecfiF"
teams ana Garcelon field Will be cover
ed with a college spirit of quadruple
plate. The college halls have been put
| in reception dress and i'll the DORM

tors. The trials will commence
promptly at 10 A. NJ and the dinner
hour will last from II 10 2 p. NJ. The
meet starts at p. NJ. and forenoon
tickets will admit to al games of the
| day.
| This meet is apt 10 be one of the
most wonderful in history. Each col
lege has men who have been daily
breaking State records in their prac-
tice. The dashes promise to be specta-
cular when Cook Mckinney, Pond,
| Williams, FrOhock and r. ID. Cole come
| together. Many are looking for new
records in the hurdles, as this is Ed
wards last year and Blanchard Of
| Bates, Vail Of Colby, Smith of U. Of
NJ. will no doubt make him travel in
either the high or low event,
| The quarter mile should be faster
| than usual. Littlefield, of Maine,
long time winner is looked to win his
| last year, but Good of Colby, Brown
and Thompson Of Bates, and Bowdoin's
| best men, are sure to figure in the
points. The half-mile is an open event,
lalthOugh Fortier and Harmon Of Maine
| look to be the strongest entries. Holden
and Peakes of Bates, Cole of Colby and
| Robinson Of BoWdoin are scratching
| cinders to a pretty fast tune and look
| like better than min. 5 sec. men, The
| mile and tWO-mile are lowering around
| BoWdoin's camp. Goliath and Slocum
with several strong second string men
| should win these events. Colby has
her fast captain Cole, although it is
| understood that he is not in the best
| Of condition. Bates has Peletier,
| Holden, Beard and Houston and Maine
has lTortier, Hicks, Houghton and Har-
mon. These will probably be the best
races of the day.
Bates in the shot put has Shepard.
| Cove and Thompson, all of whom are
| hon &c,
50 strong in this event, but Bowdon
| has Clifford and Newman and Maine
| has Ray Bearce and Cavanaugh, who
are expected 10 figure. The hammer
throw looks strong to Bowdoin for she
has Crosby, Warren and Hurley,
! Bates has the Andrew brothers. Col
| by IS weak here, but if WEIGH does
what he has been doing in practice,
they will surely take points. Maine
| has Bearce, Ray and Earles. Rowell of
| Bowdoin, Holden of Bates. = rick of
| Colby and F'ortier of Maine VII prob
| ably all qualify in the discus.
The Jumps and pole vault are the
most undecided thing of the meet.
| Burlingame. Herrick, Kempton, Will
Hams. Pierce and Ingham look like
| the star high jumpers Mcfarland.
| Holden, Erwin and Phillips make
good quartet Of broad jumpers. In the
| pole vault, little is known of the abil-
| tiles of the teams. Deming, Burlin-
game and Kern of Bowdoin, Stinson
and Woodman of Bates, Herrick and
| Bagnell of Colby, Rogers and VIM
| ters of Maine, all are credited as hav-
| ing been over 10 feet. This should be
| an event of considerable interest.
Rates held a rousing mass meeting

more enthusiastic over a contest than
over this meet. F.. p. Clason IL, pre-

Pretty conclusive evidence is said
to be in the hands of the officials of
the meet which shows that +. Nardim
of Colby will be ineligible to run. rms
fast little dash man gave capt. WI
lians a hard rub last Saturday in the
100 and trimmed him in the 22O. He
would surely have taken points in the
meet. He, however. it is claimed. reg
istered at Dartmouth last fall and was
student in and under the regulations
of the college for several weeks. Later
he went to Colby but the one year
registration rule will probably debar
him this year, for that rule is that
man coming from another college may
not represent the college in athletics
until he has been there one year. This
rule has been applied several times OF
late years, more frequently in other
