man in the quarter. He is a fast man,
having made the relay team. He will
be supported by his classamate Reyes
in the quarter or possibly the shorter
dashes In the 100 and 220 there is
i"Rcd" Fertill, Porter and Tilton the
lost two untried. Tilton has done
1o2 in preparatory school and should
cut this down under Smiths tutelage.
Unless a really fast man is developed
however Colby will not stand much
chance against Rice and Ziegler OF
Maine.
Colby was unfortunate in losing
Pelletier, who would have In all prob
ability taken first place in the State
meet in the high jump. In the pole
vault there is Parker whom Smith
looks to show things in the spring.
This man has been clearing around
eleven feet this fall. Tn the broad
jump there are two men capable of
doing well of 20 feet. Philips former
Powder Point captain has done 20
feet inches in this event and Cook,
of the same school, has a mark of 81
feet. Cook is also a hurdler of aver
age ability. 1t looks as if these two
men will have to do all the work in the
broad jump and hurdles.
In the weights Colby has two good
performers in Joyce and Coolidge.
Both these men did fine work last year
and should show improvement next
year. Joyce will have a clearer field
than last year with Leadbetter and
Moulton of Bowdoin out of the way.
Collier may also go out for the weight
events.

The S2nd Infantry garnered six hits
