On promising to Trainer Fitzpatrick

that seven m" men are eligible to
compete next spring. Ex-Capt. Dull
Is the only veteran lost from last years
we're one the new material Is very
promising. At n special meeting held
last week sixty-three men came out in
response to Captain Mays call for
candidates. Taking from this num-
Der May West, IIorner, Bohnsack,
Craig. Towar and Leger, all of whom
won their right to the IN" last year,
the rest may be depended upon to
turn out some point-getters. out or
the sixty three also were number OF
freshmen. and though ineligible for
the team this spring Keene Fitzpat-
rick stated that a separate meet would
be held so that a line on coming ma
terial now i'm the freshmen class could
be had.
Craig and Keck viii probably be
Michigan's representatives i'm the 100
and 22O-yard dashes. Hammond, Gam
BILE and Hodgen will take care of the
hurdles. For the half-mile Bohnsack
and Saxton look good, having had con-
siderable experience on the cross
country team, while Leger and Gam
BILE are expected to take care of the
quarter-mile event.
Joe Horner, the Grand Rapids lad,
who made such a great showing for
the Maize and Blue at Cambridge last
season when he defeated Ted Coy of
Yale in the shot-put, is looked upon
to be Michigan's mainstay in point
getting.
Horner is a fine all-round athlete,
but has determined to confine his eff
forts to the discus and shot. AS for
the relay team the prestige that Mich
igan has gained i'm this particular
event will not be lost this season ac-
cording to the present outlook. Cap
tain May, Towar. West, Saxton and
Hayiland, five speedy long distance
men, will form the nucleus fer the
team to be picked.
Aside from the freshmen candidates
there are a number of new men out
who look especially good. Bonbrook,
the football captain, will be seen prac-
ticing at shot-putting immediately
after the second semester WORK is re-
sumed Then there is Freeney who
broke last years record in the pole
vault for the local gym. Freeney VIII
