PRiNcEToN's ATHLETIC OUTLOOK
 BRIGHTEST IN YEARS.
Baseball and Track Men Show Promise
 of Big Year For the Tiqers,

No matter how many men graduate and no matter how few candidates there are for the team. Princeton al- ways counts on Coach Bill Clack to produce d good baseball team-and he usually comes up to expectations. Six of last years ball team have grad uated, and the number of experienced men on hand is wofully small; but Princeton expects to have a good team if a pitcher ca nbe discovered or de- veloped between now and warm weather.
 Virgil Links loss will be most <eenly felt by the team To fill his place there are Chaplin. Thompson, Savage and Parmelee Chaplin was out son is suffering with a bad arm. Saw age and Parmelee are both from the freshman team, and neither of them has shown much form.
 It may be necessary to manufacture a pitcher. Clark has had Dave Tib- bolt, the sensational halfback of the football team, working in the cage for the last month. Tibbott has a strong arm, a cool head and a. smooth de- livery, but he has had no experience in the box.
 Driggs, captain of the team this spring. will be shifter from shortstop. to catcher. He was put in at short stop last year because there was no one else to take the place. but he is more at home behind the bat As sub stitute catcher there are Purves and Gordon.
 Scully. at first base, is the only one of the 1916 inf1eld combination who will be on hand this year He is al- most sure to hold down his old berth, but there are several men who intend to make him fight for his job.
 Maxwell, second baseman on the freshman team, and Wiegand, who was once On a Cornell freshman team, are the Hkeliest candidates for the key stone sack. Bauhahn, captain and he hi ov foo stands the best chance for sflortstop.
 Bade and Howett, from the freshman teams of last year. are both good men who are trying for the third base posi- 'tion.
 Ir> the outfieId Lee is the only reg ular from the 1916 nine. Lee was lead off man all last year. and he will un- doubtedly be one of the outfield this season.
 The other two positions will he di- vided between Heating. Rankin, Ham n1ond, Cory and Seidler. All these were out for the team last year. except Seldler, who was freshman and therefore ineligible.
 Good Track Outlook.
 Princeton will probably have a much better track team this year than she had last year. It may even be as good as the 1915 team. which did better in the intercollegiate than any Princeton team had done since 1873
 Two years ago the Orange and Black finished fifth in the big event of the season, with few individual stars making all the points. This year there will not be so many stars, but there will be a better balanced squad than Princeton has had in some time.
 lost by graduation. but the men from last years freshman team should team ans wae tSs He sest fsst ss sas team that ever came to Prircetoh
 In every event except the high jump Of very fair ability. and they should perform well when the ground soft ems and the cinder track gets firm and hard. S
 Moore Should Star.
 Captain Moore. in the sprints, should again be the best man in Eastern col lege circles. He won the 220 last year and took second to Smith, of Michigan in the 100-yard dash.
 Running with him this spring will be Jelke and Barrett, of last years team, and Read. from the freshm en- Read look all legs, but he managed to do the hundred in o:10 1-5 and the 220 in OPP 2-5 last spring against the Pennsylvania freshman. winning both events.
 Va wyck. Fraser and Terrell. all from the freshmen team. are good men.
 The whole squad is now working on the winter board track and they are all doing the quarter-mile, so it is hard to tell who will turn out to be the best at that distance.
 Tn the haH-mile the best bet at the present time is a freshman, Marty Charles. He was consistent point l winner last spring. coming out in front ] in each of his starts. His best time was something over two minutes, but 1 he has room for improvement under i good coaching. Van Meter, Long and | Duren are also candidates for the dis tance.
