Training Call for Track and Field Candidates Brings Out
 Veterans; Few Promising

NEW YORK. Feb. With the spring track and field schedules com. pleted and large squads of athletes training at all the eastern universis ties, it is possible to secure a general line on the activities and prospects of the various teams fer the season of 1914. While all the leading col leges report many veteran and nov ice cinder and turf performers ,n training there appears to be little indication at this time of unusual ad- vantage to any one particular insti- tuition. According to general report there is noticeable lack of sensa- tional novice material for the varsity teams and trainers are. as a rule, counting upcn the veterans cf the past two seasons for the points which may be reasonably apportioned among the colleges as early in the season.
 Using the Intercollegiate champion. ship meet of last year as basis Cpon which to work 1t Is such that Pennsylvania. which won the 1913 ii. tie with score of 24 points, Is again favored with athletic material of con- siderable strength. The Red and Blue appears to have the best balanced team in sight, being strong in every position except hurdling. Lippincott and Patterson, winners of the 100 and 220, and Mcurdy, two mile cham 1 pion, are in training. Young Meredith worlds record holder for the one-half mile, will be eligible this spring. Kel- | ly is an excellent performer at both | the 440 and the bread jump. In Lane | Pennsylvania has a high jumper ca l pable of clearing six feet consistent ly. In the weights and pole vault the Quakers are well supplied with high l c.ass performers.
 The outlook at Harvard, which fin- ished second with 2l l.2 points, is no, so satisfactory, and Coaches Powers and Donovan will have to develop a number of new men if the Crimson team is to repeat its record of last season. The Cambridge squad prom ! ises to be strong in the middle and ! long distance runs and the weight events. Many point winners were ! lost by graduation last June and the | freshman material of 1913 is not par ticuiarly promising when compared to that of the other colleges of the east. Ithaca team finished fourth with 17 l-2 points in 1913 being defeated for third place bS Michigan. Meakley has stated that he faces an unusually hard problem this year since he must develop virtually new team. or the point winner of last season but Roll CT and Van Kennan remain. This pair won 3 l-2 points of the Cornell score. To offset this heavy loss by graduation the freshman team and several athletes ineligible in 1913. Two of the latter are David Caldwell, Tor merly of Massachusetts Agricultural College, a half-miler and Morrison, a high jumper from Leland Stanford' Judging from the material in sight Cornell should be strong In held eyents and middle distance runs but weak in sprints and hurdles.
 Dartmouth, which won fifth place at the L A. A. A. A. meet with l4E points, is not optimistic regarding regarding the track team. Coacn Harry Hiliman states. that like Cor nell, graduation cut heavily into the
 point winners. The present dopho' more class contains few athletes above the ordinary standard UT the twenty-two athletes who won their letters in 1913 but eight remain ana Q, these Whieny, the Intercollegiate shot.put champion. is the only sure point winner. Fair material IS III sight for the one-half and mile ruh' the hurdles and the pole vault.
 Yale is at present weak in distance runners but in both sprints and neiu contests has veteran and novice com petitors who should win places III both dual and championship meets The Blue has Captain Brown "no won the Intercollegiate half-mile anu Potter. second in the 0 hurtles' as a nucleus.
