While in track and field the material for a winning varsity squad is not at all bright just now judging from the work of the candidates in previous meets, there are several events notably the pole vault and the sprints which will be well looked out for, and the great weakness of the distance department may be remedied under the direction of the new coach Billy Queal, who is just starting his first outdoor work for Yale, after getting the distance men into fine condition by the winters training in the cage. Yale's lament able showing in the runs in recent years, in marked contrast to the show ing of Harvard and Cornell, has been due, many runners think. to the fact that there has been no coach to con- sistently train the men, and more inn pOfI3nG, 10 run WlIn them dHu IHdh0 them bring out and develop the best that is in them. With Quea1 as coach and as a fast pacemaker, it seems probable that this lack of driving will be supplied and that Yale runners will be forced to hit a pace that will give them g creditable showing against fast distance men. The Willisbrook cup competitions will be held weekly to keep up interest in the track work and get the men ready for the class meets and the Prince ton. Harvard and intercollegiate meets in June.
