Especial TO The Ttmes-Dispatch.1
Charlottesville, Va. April I'm
relay team at the Penn relay races, on
Franklin Field In Philadelphia, on
April 30. at least three men from the
Orange and Blue track team will be
sent to the intercollegiate meet, which
takes place in the same city on May 2S.
The three men to be sent have not
yet been picked. but 1t now seems cer-
tain that Stanton and Wiltshire will be
two of the number. Todd, Gooch or
Holiday Will make high bids for the
other place.
In order to obtain the best results
the men Will specialize. Stanton Will
run the quarter mile. in which he
showed such remarkable strength in
the dual meet with Pennsylvania few
weeks ago. defeating both Smith and
Howe of the Red and Blue team. The
Californian has given up baseball work
entirely and his condition will be ex-
cellent by the end of May. Wiltshire
will be entered in the half mile. He
is considered by authorities to have
as beautiful form as any runner IN
this country and is improving every
day In strength and staying power.
Either Todd or Gooch, subquarter and
quarter on the varsity football team,
may be entered In the 100 yards. Both
have won a number of events and
places in the indoor meets during the
past winter. Holiday is also pos
aible man for the hurdles. which he
runs In good time.
Princeton In Strong.
Philadelphia, April a3.--University
of Pennsylvania's track and field car
nival, on Franklin Field, Philadelphia.
April 80, will prove the greatest ex-
position of American athletics ever
known For the great events Prince
ton will take to the Quaker City prac-
tically all the material in the college,
and the doings of the Tigers will
centre local interest.
With Princeton, pennsylvania, Dart
mouth, Columbia, Virginia. Cornell,
Chicago, Michigan and Illinois in this
event, it is sure to be hair-raiser
from start to finish. There is one
thing sure, namely, that no other
country in the world could get to-
gether such magnificent lot OF
ouarter-milers as will be found in
this event Princeton. with the above
men. will be very fast, and they should
be right up in the race.
The Tigers have also announced
their freshman team. Its members Will
be Hall, Close. Stickney and Chaplin
and Pennsylvania will be their OPP
ponents, but as no very definite in
formation is at hand about the rea
strength of these teams. the result is
only conjecture.
In the special events Princeton will
be strong. Cooke, who was credited
with ten seconds for the 100 yards in
the recent CaledonSn games, will be
their star in this event. in which
Jessup and Thomas will also run
Jessup Is the former champion schol-
astic Splinter of Greater New York
and his friends state that he is real
conner. In the hurdles Dwight and
Bumsted will compete. Dell and Da-
ment will be in the high jump, while
Moore, Bennett, Caldwell and Bryan
will compete in the pole vault. Moore
is very good man and should make
good showing, Hart. the captain
Of the football team. and McAfyden
another footballer. will compete In
tho shot put. Hart has put the weight
close to forty-five feet, and he is
sure to be pNxed in this event. Speers
Simons and Ellsworth will be In the
hammer throw, all having done over
135 feet in this event. Brown anc
Terry are the entries for the broad
jump, both being able to do abou
twenty-one feet.
