sible TO secure a general line ON the

TO be little indication at this time OF

Tic outlook at Harvard, which fin
ished second with y 1-2 points, is nor
so satisfactory, and Coaches Powers
and Donovan Will have to develop q
number OF new men if the Crimson
team is to repeat its record Of last
season. The Cambridge squad prom
iscs 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
ticularly promising when compared TO
that Of the other colleges Of the east.
At Cornell Trainer Jack MoaFley
has 140 athletes in training. The
Ithaca team finished fourth with II
u 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 de-
Velop virtually n new team. OF the
point winners Of last season but Roller
and Van Keenan, remain. This pair
won II points Of the Cornell score.
10 offset this heavy loss by graduation
the team will be strengthened by o
number Of promising recruits from
last years freshman team and several
athletes ineligible in 1913. Two of the
latter are David Caldwell. formerly
of Massachusetts Agricultural college,
u .half-miler and Morrison, a high
jumper from Leland Stanford. Judg-
ing from the material in sight Cornell
should be strong in field events and
middle distance runs but weak in
sprints and hurdles.
Dartmouth, which won fifth place
at the J. a. A. A. A. meet with IA 1-2
points, is not optimistic regarding the
track team. Coach Harry Hillman
states, that like Cornell, graduation
cut heavily into the point winners,

won their letters in 1913 but eight re-

torcollegiate shot-put rhampiont is

material is in sight for the one-halt
and mile run, the hurdles and the pole
vault.
