COLLEGE FIVE
PROVES SURPRISE

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Feb. l3-Many Of the
Delaware College students who are can
didates for the track team answered the
irst call Of Coach @. =. Keyes and re-
ported to hlmin the gymnasium yester-
day afternoon. The schedule for the
coming season, which is practically COM
pleted, is one Of the hardest that the
gold and blue has ever arranged and
Coach Reyes is anxious TO get an early
line on tho material that he will have
to select the track team from.
Between 80 and 40 answered the first
call. Coach Keyes did not attempt to
start the men on any work, but gave
them @ general talk, mapping out Just
what would be expected Of them and
what they will have 10 do in tho way Of
training if they expect to make the
team.
Coach Keyes is much pleased with the
respects for fast relay team this year.
last spring Delaware got second place
in the relay at u. of p, being beat out
by Maryland A. O. by only few feet.
He figures that Maryland A. @. will be
the team that Delaware will have to de-
feat. All of the 1910 Blue and Gold
relay men, Steele. Craig, Crockett and
Marshall, with Fitzpatrick as substi-
tute. are out for the team again, and
the coach figures that his team will even
be faster than last year. Williams and
Graves. two freshmen, are also candi-
dates, and will make the last year men
hustle to make the team, as both are
very fast
The Athletic Council will meet to-
night, when Il is expected that tho
track schedule will be acted on. After
the u. of p. relays. Delaware will
send some athletes to a meet at Mary
land A. c., the first Saturday In May.
On May II Delaware will have n dual
meet with Drexel in Philadelphia. The
remainder OF the schedule will prob
ably be as follows: May ~, inter-
scholastic and inter-class meet; May
10. Middle States meet at Lehigh Uni
versity; May 26. City College of New
ark dual meet at Newark; Decoratio~
Day, Lehigh dual meet at Newark,
and June 2, dual meet with Mullen
with swarthmore pending.
Some Of the new material that
Coach Keyes has looked over Is very
promising and this is especially true
Of Mcdonnell, a former Wilmington
High School student, who is a pole
vaulter with an excellent record
Crockett, who holds the Delaware
record in both the high and low
hurdles, but who pulled tendon
early last spring, seems TO be in good
condition again and will be out for
both hurdle events. Fitzpatrick will
probably be used in the mile event
this year If he shows up as well as is
expected. Coach Keyes is short OF
material for the two mile and some OF
the weight events. but may be able "a
develop some likely looking candi-
dates. Ernie Wilson, star football and
basketball player, is coming out for
the weights this year.
