q larger number Of students interested
in athletic events than would have
been possible under any other eondi-
lion, and viii no doubt give some good
material for different branches Of
sports that the coach would not have
known about except for the contests.

Franklin Field. April 26. their first trials

really demonstrate their speed. Among
the candidates for the relay team are:
Craig. Bunting, Smith, Kite, Graves,
Hearne, Brown, r. II. McMullen, r. w.
MoNfullen, Jones and GOrdy.
Next Wednesday afternoon the an
nual lnter-class meet viii be held, ana
this will give Coach LeCato an excellent
chance to Judge Of the material that
he has for the various field and track
events. There is little known as to
the value Of some Of the new material,
but this meet should bring out the
best In the candidates considering the
little training that they have had TO
date. For the weight events the in
dications are that there is better ma
terial than Delaware has had for some
years. The team has been weak In
the weight events for several years,
but Coach LeCato has several men who
he expects to develop for the discus
end shot put.
