! l NEW YORK, Feb. S.-With the spring track and field schedules com l pleted and large squads of athletes training at ali the eastern universities, | it is possible to secure a general line on the activities and prospects of the various teams for the season of 1914 1 While all the leading colleges report | many veteran and novice cinder and 1 turf performers in training there ap- | pears to be little indication at this time l of unusual advantage at any one par ticular institution with the possible ex- ception of Pennsylvania. According to general report there is noticeable lack of sensational novice material for the varsity teams and trainers are as a rule, counting upon the veterans of the past two seasons for the points which may be reasonably apportioned among the colleges so early in the sea- son.
 Using the intercollegiate champion ship meet of last year as a basis upon l which to work it is seen that Pennsyl- l vania, which won the 1913 title with a score of A points, is again favored with athletic material of considerable strength. The Red and Blue appears to have the best balanced team in sight, being strong in every position except hurdling. Lippincott and Pat terson, winners of the 100 and 220 and | McCurdy, two mile champion, are in training Young Meredith, worlds rec ord holder for the one-half mile, will be eligible this spring. Kelly is an ex- cellent performer at both the 40 and the broad jump. In Lane Pennsyl- vania has high jumper capable of clearing six feet consistently. In the weights and pole vault the Quakers are well supplied with high class perform CTS.
 l The outlook at Harvard, which fin ished second with PIE points, is not so satisfactory, and Coaches Powers and Donovan will have to develop a number of new men if the Crimson team is to repeat it's record of last sea son. The Cambridge squad promises 1 to be strong in the middle and long distance runs and the weight events Many point winners were lost by grad | ucNtiCll ieol Nilt anu lIlt IItSlitildU iIld-
 terial of 1913 is not particularly prom
 ising when compared to that of the | other colleges of the east.
 , At Cornell Trainer Jack Moakley has ; 40 athletes in training The Ithaca team finished fourth with 17b points in 1913 being defeated for third place by Michigan. Moakley has stated that he faces an unusually hard problem | this year since he must develop Virt- , ually a new team. Of the point win ners of last season but Roller and Van l kennan remain. This pair won 312 5 points of the Cornell score. To offset this heavy loss by graduation the team will be strengthened by a number of promising recruits from last years I freshman team and several athletes : ineligible in 1913. Two of the latter : are David Caldwell formerly of Massa- ? chusetts Agricultural college. half ? miller adn Morrison, a high jumper 2 from Leland Stanford. Judging from !. l the material in sight Cornell should be l | strong in field events and middle dis 3 tance runs but weak in sprints and hurdles

 is not optimistic regarding the track
 team. Coach Harry Hillman states,
 that like Cornell, graduation cut heav- 1 fly into the point winners. The present
 sophomore class contains few athletes
 above the ordinary standard Of the | twenty-two athletes who won their let
 ters in 1913 but eight remain and these
 Whitney, the Intercollegiate shot put l champion, is the only sure point win
 ner. Fair material is in sight for the
 half and mile run, the hurdles and | the pole vault
 Yale is at present weak in distance l runners but in both sprints and field contests has veteran and novice com petitors who should win places in both l dual and championship meets. The
 Blue has Captain Brown, who won the
 intercollegiate half mile, and Potter,
 second in the 220 hurdles, as nucleus. l Oler, 1913 freshman team captain, is
 expected to win a place in the high jump and Tabott to do as well in the ] hammer throw. If Trainer Mack can
 develop several high class sprnters
 and distance runners the Ellis will
 prove formidable
 Prospects at Princeton are not as
 satisfactory as at New Haven for the
 Tigers lost fourteen of the 1913 team
 by graduation. To offset this the 1916
 class vii furnish number of athletes
 who did well in freshman track com
 petition. One or two athletes ineli-
 gible last spring will also be able to
 compete. These taken together with
 the eleven veterans available should
 provide d team numerically strong but
 Trainer Keene Fitzpatrick will have to
 increase the standard of performance
 if the Orange and Black is to finish
 better than ninth place which as
 Princeton's mark as a result of the six
 points collected at Cambridge in the
 intercollegiate last May.
