more or less dark horse who halls
from Wappinger Falls, n. Y, and lit
tie of his ability Is known excepting
that he has shown surprising all
around cleverness in class meets this
year. French will be Names main
stay in the broad jump.
In the hammer throw. Bailey IS
booked for a certainty of first place
but other places in the weight event
look dubious to Names coach.
A Glance at Bowdoin
Bowdoin has a second place con-
tender in the sprints in Captain Smith
and Balfe, a newcomer, is being
watched closely. These two, with Fox
and Floyd. will be in the broad jump
with Floyd and Smith betting prop
ositions for placing. Cutler and Noyes
will figure in the distance runs, but
Crosby is Bowdoin's best bet there
Donahue, Fuller and Floyd will run
the hurdles events and Floyd or Don
ohue should pick up one or two points.
McWilliams is Bowdoins best chance
in the double furlong dash and he
should place Sayward, Humphrey and
Bond also will run. Boardman and
Wood will figure in the high jump,
but Hal White, Freshman, is prob
ably better than either. Leadbetter,
Lewis and Moulton are the weight
men who will bear watching. Lead
better is due to pick up points in the
discus, hammer and shotput and
Lewis in the hammer throw and dis
| Gus throw One Mckenney should be
good for place in the discus, in fact.
! McKenney and Sampson are the pole
vaulters and McKenney should be
good for a place.
How Colby Sizes Up
Colby is particularly weak in weight
men. Stanwood, Joyce. Murchie. Pen
dergast, Daicey and Ladd are work
Ing out and one or two-thirds may
fan to somebody in the sextet Colby
has no first place timber in the high
jump, broad jump, sprints or pole
vault but with Carroll, Murchie and
Doyle in the broad jump, Mayors and
i Judkins in pole vault, and Lowney,
Lord and Merrill in the century and
furlong sprints, expects to pick UP
a scattering point here and there.
Colby has in the 440-yard dash, Ivan
Waldron of this city as her best bet
!
well. In the hurdles, Colby has Kent
Royal, who is being booked to take
two firsts. In the half mile, mile and
two mile, Colby will present a capa-
BILE array in Wenz, Matt Golden,
O'Brien, Reynolds, Waldron. Thomp-
son, Rand. Nat Wegg and Holley and
much is expected of these men
The Bates Outlook
With Charlie Rice running for
Maine, Lathrop will pull Nevers from
one of the two shorter sprints and
will groom him for the quarter mile,
other of these in addition to the 440
last year and will run one or the 9TH
er Of these in addition to the 40 this
year. He is a powerful runner and
first place in the quarter seems to lie
between him and Colbys Waldron.
Cobb, the former Waltham High foot
| ball liuesman, has been boosting the
shot better than any other perform
er in Maine college ranks and is ex-
pected to win this event. Drake is the
Garnet's mainstay in the high jump
and Cummings in the pole vault and
hurdles events. Cummings has been
showing strong and Bates is look
ing for him to pick up points in both
these events. Keer is working out
fairly we'll with the discus and john
son, veteran kept out of track work
for couple of years, is showing well
in the pole vault. If he can regain old
time form he may get height enough
to carry off this event. The best Bates
has in the distances is Syrene and he
is an 'in and outer who may keep
himself together in the classy distance
field. though. and snatch a third place
