FINISHES TRAINING

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June s.

out the college world as Mike"
Murphy, and considered the greatest
trainer of athletes in the history Of
college sports, died at his home, 4331
Chestnut street, yesterday afternoon.
He lapsed into Inconsistencies in
the morning and never rallied. He
was a victim Of tuberculosis.
MIR. Murphy's illness dates back to
the Pennsylvania-Mich football

the team arrived in the Michigan

half of the game was played in a
blizzard. Penn was losing, and he

ATHLETES MAY
BREAK RECORD

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Del, June 5.-Work on
the track of Joe Frazer Field is be-
ing pushed forward in order to have
it in shape for the inter-class meet
on June II Of commencement week.
A steam roller was put on the
straightaway this morning and it
will doubtless be finished in a few
days. A large corps of men are sift-
ing cinders to certain grades. The
cinders will be laid some time next
week.
Entries for the track meet close on
Saturday. Up to the present time
many entries have been made espe-
cially by members of the junior class.
This class recently won the college
championship in baseball. The 1914
men are now after the track cham
pionship. They won last year by
an overwhelming score, and will
doubtless repeat this year.
The inter-class meet will bring out
many of the college stars. Schlittler,
10, who holds the college pole vault
record, will enter for his class.
Sawdon. of the same class, who holds
records for the mile and half mile
will be out for the meet. The 1914
class will. be represented by McCaf-
ferty, Veale, Grub. Dean and Grams
ton. Veale and Dean are holders OF
college records in the high hurdles
and hammer throw. respectively
These men look like sure winners
The Sophomore class will have Lit
tie as their star man. The 1916 men
are of unknown calibre, but they will
doubtless enter men in all of the
events. It is expected that many col
lege records will be broken.
The Freshman class has elected the
following officers: President, r. @
Doherty; vice-president, G. S. Croth
ers; secretary, II. c. Bounds: treas.
urer, K. L. Seward; A. A. Council
J. P. Jones; track captain, H. L
