Disappointed over their inability to de-
giate meet Saturday. the Colby track
athletes began a week Of hard training
Monday with the hope of redeeming
themselves at the New England inter-
collegiates to be held at Tech field In
Cambridge Friday and Saturday, May q
and 2. All the New England colleges
except Harvard and Yale will compete.
and Colby hopes to "come back" and get
as good q place IL not better than it did
last year, when 1t landed in fourth posi-
ton. All the point winners in last weeks
events will make the trip. This will In
clude Howe in the sprints. Merrill and
Webster in the quarter. Golden IN the
half mile, Thompson in the mile. Royal
in the hurdles. Wenz and Levine In the
two-mile and Joyce in the discus. AL
though Wenz did not place this year on
account Of an attack OF cramps. he did
last year, thereby emitting him to enter.
DR.. George F. Parmenter, member of
the faculty committee on athletics. and
Chester r. Mills. president OF the ath-
letic association, will leave Friday for
Boston to represent the college at the
annual meeting Of the New Intercolle-
gate Association to be held that after
noon in the Boston City Club.
Manager Leon Crockett Of the tennis
team has completed arrangements for a
dual match to be held with the University
Of Maine Friday and Saturday, May q
and q. at Orono. The annual Maine in
tercollegiate matches will be played May
"a. Is and 26 at Brunswick under the aus
pieces Of Bowdoin. Captain Ramsdell is
working hard to get good team to-
gether. but the chances for a champion
ship title are not SO good as they have
been the last few seasons.
Members Of the musical clubs having
just closed very successful season are
to meet Tuesday morning in the college
chapel to elect officers for the ensuing
year.
Preparations are now being made for
the annual Colby junior League games
to be played Friday and Saturday on the
campus. Hebron Academy, Coburn Clas-
steal, Kicker Classical and Higgins Clas-
steal are to be the contending teams.
Two games will be played Friday after
noon and the winning teams in each
match will play Saturday morning for
the championship and banner. The prep
school boys will be the guests Of the col
lege and remain over for the Colby Maine
game to be played in the afternoon.
With only three days left to put on the
finishing touches for the debate, the men
on both teams of the Murray prize de-
bate are working hard in preparation for
their meeting Thursday evening at the
First Baptist church. The question.
which advocates the introduction of mid
itary training in all colleges, should
prove very interesting one.
Few guests that have visited the cam
pus in recent years have been in greater
demand as an entertainer than William
Erwin of Dorchester. who is visiting his
brother, Francis L.. 'l6, at the Zeta Psi
house. The elder Mr.. Erwin is an accom-
plished pianist and singer and the COL
lege boys flock by the scores to frat par
lors when he is at the piano.
Among the alumni who were in the city
to attend the track meet and who will
leave in day or so are: Lewis Wilson
IA. Harold Jones "A. Emmons 3. Farrar
IA. Vinal H. Tibbetts IA, John Wells II,
John Clukey '13, and whit" Warren
