Though the Princeton track team lost

source for Encouragement in the re-
suits of the dual meet there isn't
much dissatisfaction at Nassau with
the showing the team made. Captain
Moore made an important Shift in the
team for this meet, with a f~ar-sighted
regard for the all-important relay
games of the University of Pennsyl-
vania mex Saturday. and while it lost
the meet to the Navy it is regarded as
worth while ven at that cost.
What Captain Moore did was this.
He took Whitley and Frantz, who have
always been middle-distance me
out of the half-mile run, and substi-
tuted for them Sawyer and Black. who
are good at the 22o, because he wanted
Whitley and Frantz to get some ex-
p~erience in the quarter for the mile
relay next Saturday. The result was
that the Navy gained a big advantage
in the half mile and the good work OF
the Tigers in the other events was not
enough to compensate by four points.
The middies won 6o1k points to 5s15.
One surprising and very Encouraging
result of the meet was a show of
strength in the field events. Last year
