day will certainly be a hummer
Harper spent much time yesterday
in coaching Martin for the broad
Jump. Martin is a former South Bend
high crack who astOnished the No
ire Dame fans by his phenomenal
jumping in last Saturdays hall meet.
While in high school Martin cleared
22 feet six inches, a mark that VIII

will not he available in intercollegi-
ate contests till his sophomore year
With the coaching he will receive this
season and the experience he VIII

so we'll over % feet in 1915. Harper
is depending on this man 10 cop rev
points in the First Regiment Invita-
ton meet at Chicago next month.
Particular attention was given yes
terday to the 40 yard men. Harper
worked for half an hour with Berg
mann. Newning, Won Thron ana
Hardy, the fastest quartet in the
school. He emphasized especially the
value Of getting a good start and in
a short time had every man leaving
the mark with the gun. Time after
time he sent the men down the 40
yard straightaway at top speed. The
four usually finished neck and neck
first one then another winning out by
inches. The veteran Bergman look
ed to be the fastest man OF the four.
Newning is easily the steadieSt, for
rarely did he get a bad start. This
pair have won monographs in past
years but they will have TO travel fast
to keep ahead OF the freshmen, Won
Thron and Hardy.
Harper will keep the track men at
work. this week and next. so that they
may be at their best for the First
Regiment meet on Feb. and g..
! Eichenlaub was out yesterday work
/ ing on his form IN the shot put. No
; tire Dame probably will enter two one
mile relay teams in the First Regi-
ment meet. There was a host OF good
quarter-milers at the gold and blue
school and two stellar quartets should
be CLEANED from them. Capt Hene-
han. Birder. Rockne. Plant and Voel-
kers viii make a strong bid for the
varsity four, while Kirkland. Wages.
Martin, NIcDonough. Hayden and
Welch will fight II out for places on
the freshmen team.
