Special Despdtck TO TuE spN.


PRINCETON. \. j.. March S.-With the
advent of spring weather in Tigertown
and the announcement OF an elaborate
schedule for the season Princeton
track prospects are booming as never
before. Keenc Fitzpatrick. who Is in
charge OF the cinderpath boys, has been
working his proteges for some time on
the indoor track, but has now begun the
training outdoors.
Preseason comparisons indicate that
Princeton should score heavily in the
series OF outdoor meets which will be
held this spring. Nine letter men are
back in college, while seven men from
last years freshman team have already
reported. With this coterie OF cinder
scintillators Neenc Fitzpatrick has great
confidence In the success of his team.
In tho 100 yard dash two men stand
ont prominently. Van Clcvc, who trav-
elled the distance in 10 fat in his fresh
man year. and Kelsey. who stops the
watch at 10 1-o seconds. Van Cleve will
also compete in the 22O. supported by
Terrell, Clark and Jacobs, all CAST men.
Five men are now possibilities in the
quarter mile run. Clark, who has been
absent in service since the spring OF
1917. stepped two furlongs in so fat
against the Yale freshmen three years
ago. and should hit 40 this season. ia
cobs is another fast man in this event,
as he was timed at 30 49, last spring.
Terrell. Wrenn and Van Meter are also
good men in this event

about nine seconds slower. Montgomery
and MoCulloch will represent the Orange
