BOWDOIN OPENS
TRACK SEASON
next SATURDAY

Brunswick, Me, April 22.-Bowdoin
opens her intercollegiate track pro-
gram next Saturday afternoon on
Whittier field, when the White track
and field men compete with Massachu
setts Tech. It is almost too much to
believe that the Bowdoin team, with
little experience and handicapped by
poor weather conditions, can defeat
the Tech men, who have been in al
most constant training since Christ
mas and in some quarters are touted
to win the New England meet this
year. A good showing against Tech
will raise Bowdoin's prospects for the
Trinity and State meets. The times
and distances in the Tech inter-class
meet last week were not of record
calibre and Bowdoin should be able
10 collect a fair number of points.
Star Men
Whatever the result, the gallery in
Hubbard grandstand will see a clus-
ter Of brilliant men at work. o'Hara,
a Tech dash man, is Junior A. A. Z.

,E. A. A. u. champion, Donneley, c. T.

the mile. Colleary and Fix last year
took first and second places, respect
lively, in the broad jump at the New
England meet. HUFF was third in the
hurdles at the New England games

college this spring.
