LAT an the eastern universities, it is
possible to secure general line OH
The activities ana prospects of the va p
rious teams for The season of 1914.
While an the leading colleges report
many veteran and novice cinder ana
turf performers IN training there APP
pears to be Ilttlo indication at this
ume of unusual advantage at any one
particular institution with The posi-
bic exception Of Pennsylvania. Acc
ccrding to general report there is q
noticeable lack of sensational novice
material for the varsity teams and
trainers are as rule counting upon
the veterans OF the past two seasons
for the points which may reasonably
be apporuoned among the colleges SO
early i'm the season.
Using the intercollegiate champion
ship meet of last year as basis upon
which to work, II IS seen that Penn
sylyania, which won the 1913 title
with "a score of "a points. is again fa
yored with athletic material Of con-
siderable strength The Red and
Blue appears to have the best bal-
.anced team in sight. being strong iu

son The Cambridge squad promises
TO be strong In Tho middle and long
distance runs and the weight events.
Many point winners were lost by grad
uauon last June and the freshmen
material for 1913 is not particularly
promising
At Cornell, Trainer Jack Moaklcy
has ten athletes in training. The hha-
ca team finished fourth with u t-2
points in 1913, being defeated for
third place hy Michigan. Moakley
has stated that he faces an unusually
hard problem this year since he must
develop virtually q new team. OF
the point winners of last season but
Roller and Van KEENAN, remain This
pair won IL points Of the Cornell
