trials for the dashes will be run Off.
on account of the baseball game in the
afternoon, the track events will begin
promptly at l O'Clock. that all the
events may be completed before the
game is called
The Maine team is certainly one of
the strongest aggregations of track
men in the State this year and they
are coming To Colby with confidence,
hoping To get away with Colby, az
they got away with University of
Vermont last Saturday BY that meet
as we'll as by the intercollegiate meet
of last season Maine has shown that
she has some stars that will be sure
of points. Houghton in the two-m mile
run holds the State record, 10m., 1sec..
and bettered that in last Saturdays
meet, doing the run in 10 minutes fiat.
Walker, another distance man. who
Won the half mile in the last season
college meet, will do his best to hold
his place against Gates of Colby. who
made a brilliant showing last season
at the New England meet. Much is
expected of Phillips. the winner of the
largest number of points in the indoor
meet last winter against Colby. Shep-
herd is another dark horse, bound to
figure in the weights and at least one
of the hurdle races is conceded tn
Capt. Smith of the Maine team
Colby will put the best team the col
lege has ever had against the Maine
bunch, and will be represented in some
of the events by the following men;
In the dashes Captain Nardini will
figure and something out of the ordi-
nary will have to happen il he doesn't
get away with them. In these events
erowding Nardini closely is Morse and
a second may be counted on from him.
Bowen in the quarter equalled the col
lege record in last SATURDAYS meet
and i'll competition is expected to do
much better. In this event Blake may
figure. as he has been rapidly getting
into shape in the past week. and is
nearly in condition again after his in
jury of few weeks ago. In the half
mile run Colby counts on Gates to win
first place. He made fine showing in
the New England meet last spring.

heats of that event. Reynolds in the
mile is running a good race for Colby
and in close competition may have n
surprise in store for all concerned.
keyes in the two-mile is running well.
and win be near Houghton when he
nears the tape Herrick is allowed the
running high jump, but in the pole
vault he will have to fight it out with
the Maine man. In the discus throw
Tibbitts will get first or the State rec
ord will added to by good margin.
and in the hammer throw and shot
put 1t is toss up as to which college
will land the events.
Judging from the exhibition given
by the two colleges in last SATURDAYS
meet and a comparison of the records
made it is evident that the meet on
Alumni field Saturday will be hustler.
