The fifth annual field and track meet

promises to eclipse all past meets In point
of attraction for athlete and spectator.
ana taking part will be found the classiest
string of athletes that has competed
hereabouts for many moon. w. :.
Williams, who has a record of five feet
eleven inches in the running high jump,
and a high hurdle record of sixteen and

mate, Ed Gray, who was Amhersts best
ouarter-mier and low hurdler, will also
run Maurice Curtis. Henry Penn, j..
Clifford, DESMOND and Bill English are
among the many sterling athletes now in
competitive circles.
Scholastic track and field men are now
beginning to train. Armstrong has a
wealth of material and can boast of such

Beckwith in the jumps and Walker In the
distance runs. AT M street are Capt.

doubtedly be a great success.

Athletic News and Notes.

Rumor ha. it that the local National
Guard Athletic Association Is seriously
considering casting it's lot with the Mill
tary Athletic League, an allied BODY or
the A. A. L. 1t is hard to see exactly
the advantages of such step, as the
National Guard Association, being reg
istered pody, has as much power now In
A. A. U. meetings as the whole Military
League, this league being treated as one
organization and allowed but one vote,
the same as all other registered organiEa-
lions.
The Military Athletic League, being
an allied body, does not. and in fact
cannot, grant any more privileges than
the A. 4. L. Its games, except the
closed events are run according to the
A. A. u. rules and not under rules Of its
own. and are under the A. A. L. sane
tion. Even it's athletes are registered in
the same manner, and are given the same
set of numbers as are those competing
under clubs or organizations.
This change will bring no special bene-
fits to The guardsmen, and instead of
strengthening their organization will
weaken it.

AS a matter of fact the breach between

YOST EXPLAINS SUCCESS
Of HIS GREAT PLAYERS

Ann Arbor. Feb. ga good many ex-
plantations have been offered of the key
note to success in playing football, but
according to Coach Fielding 4OSt the
great Willie HestOn had all the authorl-
ties skinned" when it came TO express
ing the secret in a nutshell
HestOn is quoted as having been once
asked what the secret of his wonderful
work was, and he replied laconically that
1t was to work his lanterns and jump
the dead ones" His meaning, of course,
was that he had his eye always on the
man with the ball and paid no atten-
ton to those not figuring in the play.
In my fifteen years Of experience as
a PLAYER and coach I have seen about
all the big ones" YOst said, but take
it from me that Walter Camp was never
tr1Ier to history than when he selected
Heston and Schultz as the greatest men
who ever played their positions in this
country Both of them were wonders,
and no mistake, and lowered above, Tar
above. others who have essayed the half
back and center roles
When asked TO give his opinion as 10
the one distinguishing characteristic OF
these men, Yost replied that both APP
peared TO possess equally as paramount
talent what is commonly known as foot
hall brains-the ability to instinCtiVely oil
vine plays on the defensive aud to IN
tuitiveIy realize the movements OF op-
ponents when in offensive play. Heston
characterization comes near expressing
the whole thing he said.
These great stars, he declared, in ad-
dition, had powerful constitutions which
could stand unlimited punishment were
always i'm condition and loved to play
the game.
