Brunswick, Me, Jan. 27.-(SpeciaD.
g. A. A. indoor track meet to be held
IN Mechanics hall, Boston, on Satur-
day, FEB. 10. BoWdoin will be repre-
scented in NOR" events than for several
years and will send a strong team to
keep up the reputation for ability she
has won in track circles during the
past For the last two years Bow
dom has been turning out some of the
best athletic teams in the history OF
tn" college and especially in track
athletics. The old Brunswick college
has captured the Maine Intercollegiate
track meet both of these years, last
spring winning moro points than all
the other Maine colleges combined
and has made a good showing. at the
New England Intercollegiate track
meet held at Brookline. Mass, taking
second place in 1908. Last year Bow
doin was hampered in this event by
the cold and wet weather, but ca lie in
fourth. Last year also BoWdoiE was
admitted to membership and ! pre-
SentatlOn in the Eastern InteICOll giate
A. 4. and made a very creditable
showing considering that the Bowdoin
track men We're pitted against the
cream of the college athletes Of Amer
lea.
In previous years BoWdoin has sent
only relay team to the b. A. A., WITH
perhaps one or two entries in other
events, but this year besides the relay
race with Tufts. BoWdOin will be rep
resented in probably four or more
other events. The relay race this year
i3 of especial interest. as Tufts and
BoWdoin nave each won once and both
colleges will strive to their utmost to
WIN second time. Another point
which viii add to the interest Of this
race is the fact that last fall Bowdoin
Won the cross-country race with Tufts
with the best score possible. every
BowdOm man finishing before any of
the Tufts men and then on the fol-
lowing day defeated the Tufts foot
ball team in Portland. Tufts will
naturally be very anxious to win this
relay and score on Bowdoin, her old
rival.
