The coach says that the Understanding
before the meet was to the effect that

coach Boiler is developing a fOrmida-
bic combination Of performers who are
likely to make their presence felt and
upset some Of the calculations made
by other squads More than 60 candi-
dates are working out in the various
events and they are rated, on the whole,
as considerably above par The ma

crop OF points garnered from second,
third and fourth places gained in the
various events. These lesser points
mount up fast and have won many a
meet as against the work OF n few in
dividual stars who have won first
places.
It is thought that Boiler is working
along these lines and is likely to spring
surprise at the Pacific Coast Inter
collegiate conference meet in May by
offsetting the points won by such stars
as Fred Kelly by going after a ma
Jority Of the lesser points.
