GOOD MATERIAL
 AT DARTMOUTH.
Ought to be Banner Year-Gymnastic Team Oraanized-First in History of College.

Dartfouth track enthusiasts are al-
 ready looking forward to a successful
 season. The class of 1913 brought a
 remarkable we'll balanced track squad
 to the college, which has for two years
 taken care of the field events which
 have always been the greens forts
 and which in this, it's last year. is
 expected to show to better advantage
 than ever before The present junior
 class, weaker in the field events, pos
 SesseS quite remarkable group or
 runners, and last years freshman
 class not so remarkable in either de-
 pertinent, has yet several stars who
 can be counted upon tos take points.
 Experience will be the green teams
 strong point. The two upper classes have had the advantage of 1ntercol- Iegiate training, and in addition care ful individual study by Coach Hill man. The sopho mores who have theoretically had little intercollegiate te experience, are nevertheless old hands at the track game in many cases, numbering men like Whitney and LleWellyn, who have been in compett- ton with the best amateur perform CTS in the East. With the added ad- vantage which a careful and system atic traing on the big gymnasium track throughout the winter will give them, Coach I1illman's work should make this a banner year in Dartmouth track athletics
 The relay men will receive the mai or share of Coach Hillman's attention for the present, in order that the green's full strength may be put in the field for the coming indoor meets. The authorities have decided that fewer men shall be entered in the special events this winter than has been customary. February will mark the first appearance of the team, when the relay team and limited number of special entrants will con test Tn the Boston athletic association ho h6 varsity candidates are being worked on the board hack on the second floor of the gymnasium, in order that they may not be fnterferred with by the candidates for the series of annual in door meets, which have proved such q successful part of Coach Hillmans regife in developing track material The first of the indoor meets will be held late next month.
 Coach HilIman has excellent mater iaI at hand for the development of good relay teams. As last year, the college will surely be represented by a mile and a four-InLe relay The nucleus of both last years teams Is left in college, and 1t should not be difficult to develop a strong quartet in each distance. Whether there will be enough candidates to form a two mile relay in addition is problematical, however. It is quite possible that 1t may seem advisable to divide the candidates for this distance among - nary training is being taken by all the l relay candidates.
 Dartmouth's first gymnasium team hMG been organized and authorized to represent the college. Gall I. Gardener l of Prescott. Ariz. has been elected ] captain, and E. c. Iamson of Exeter, 1 N. H., temporary secretary. These l officers will serve until final organi- | zation of the team has been effected, 1 when permanent officers will be elect ] ed Considerable work must be done ! by the squad to bring the team up to | the standard of the teams which | represent the other colleges of the | East The formation of a team has | been in view for some time. however, and considerable work has been done l through the semester under the direc ton of Dr. Bowler. Several of the ] men who took part fin the gymnasium | exhibition given last spring are still l in college and have shown great i'm l provernent. These men will form the | nucleus of the new team.
 It Is the idea of those in charge of l the team to give a first exhibition dur | ing the winter carnival next month, | and later in the season to procure acme college team to join in q dual exhibition meet. No attempt will be l made to enter into a dual meet under | competition conditions this year. There Is little doubt that the athletic l council will formally recognize the l team by awarding D. G. T.. at some later time.
