Coach Moakley and Jones himself expect
that Norman Taber of Brown will prove
worthy foeman at the intercollegiate
meet in June. Jones' work during the
winter has convinced track men here

meets he will run he will make an effort
to improve on his mark of the week be-
fore. Ii Snyder comes up to form, which
so far he has failed to do, II is probable
that the half mile in the dual meets will
be left to him. Speiden and. Burgdorff.

His Cornell friends are unable to find
out whether Jones will seek to run Kiviat
this summer, but they are convinced that
he is now bending every effort to excel
his own great performances OF the past.
Jones denies that he ever said that he
considered Taber a faster man than
Kiviat. He modestly refuses to make
comparison between Taber and him.
