VIRGINIA HAS
BRIGHT PROSPECTS
FOR TRACK SEASON
HALF HUNDRED CANDIDATES
OUT FOR TEAM--CARTER
GLASS TO JOIN SQUAD.

CHARLOTTESVILLE VA, Dec. z.
About fifty candidates have an
swered Pop Lannigans call for track
material and all are being sent TO
work on the board track which was
constructed on the tennis courts
few days ago for the indoor training
of the squad.
Prospects are very bright for q
good track team at Virginia this year,
as most of last years squad returned
to school, and several valuable addi-
lions have been made in the way OF
new men. Norris, of last years two
mile relay team at Yale, has been
out working all fall. and Mcclure,
quarter miller from Lafayette. looked
pretty good yesterday. Wiley Cooke
who led the field in the first relay OF
the two-mile championship at the
Pennsylvania relay carnival last
spring, is back in good shape, and
Captain Crowley, the South Atlantic
hurdles champion, and winner OF the
hurdle event at Penn last year, Is ex-
pected to do great things.
The other letter men to return were
Wright, the two mile champion:
Beckett and Barton, of Virginia's two
mile relay team; Mason. who ran on
the one-mile team, and Mayer and
Gooch, who competed in the spirits
and broad jump.
Lannigan received a letter from
Carter Glass. the anchor man on the
Washington and Lee relay team fast
season, and he will enter Virginia
after Christmas II he can gain his
parents consent. Glass ia strong in
the sprints, winning several dashes
in indoor meets held in Washington
and Baltimore last year. and Is good
for about fifty seconds in the quarter.
He will very nicely fill out the va
cancy made in Lannigan's relay team
caused by Dtebolt's leaving college.

uous schedule for the team. taking
in every available meet in this part
of the country as well as several up
