Dartmouth Expects
A Strong Team
For Penn RELAYS

The entry of Dartmouth in Penn
sylvania's relay carnival is especially
interesting this year, in view of the
fact that Coach Hllman promises to
have one OF the best track teams in
the East. Dartmouth should cut a big
figure in the carnival, as it will have
fast team in the distance or sprint
medley championship and also a speedy
quartet in the one-mile event.
In addition, tho Green will be well
represented in the special events Jor-
dan, who tied with Esterday, of Pitts
burgh. for the intercollegiate pole
vault championship, will be in that
event, AS will Myers, who is generally
considered a better vaulter. Myers has
done close to IS feet.
Beers, the intercollegiate shot-put
champion, will compete in that event,
while Murphy, another big man, will
compete in the shot, discus and jave-
lin. Thomson, the 120-yard national
hurdle champion, will compete in that
event on Saturday. ard on Friday he
will probably be the favorite for the
pentathlon. or all-round championship
Dartmouth's one-mile team should BE-
exceptionally fast. Murray, WHO ran
second in the intercollegiate quarter
doing 48 3-5 seconds, and Carlo, who
ran fifth in the same race, who can
also beat 30 seconds, and Gorton arc
three great quarter-milers. AS Coach
Hillman has another good man in Davis
it looks as If Dartmouth might come
through in this event in spite of the
fact that Pennsylvania, Princeton, Har-
ward and Chicago also have fast teams

Track Men at Princeton
Facing a Hard Schedule

PRINCETON, N. j., Feb. s.-With
the first track meet just week off, the
Tiger athletes are rapidly rounding
into form. The team faces the most
ambitious schedule that has been ar
ranged for a Princeton squad in some
years.
The national junior championships
at Brooklyn next Saturday wifi afford
an opportunity for the men to show
their worth in competition and should
give Coach Fitzpatrick and Princeton
followers a close line on the possihili-
ties
SO far the work has been merely of
a routine nature. No time trials have
yet been held, but the general form of
the men is remarkably good for so
early. Captain Carl Erdman, the inter-
collegiate champion for both the high
and low hurdles, will he unable to com
pete at Brooklyn, since he holds an
intercollegiate championship. Several
mon, however, will make the trip. and
and the Tigers should score a coodlv
number of points.
The team as whole is fairly we'll
balanced and shows remarkable
strength in the hurdles and distance
events. Captain Erdman has no oppo-
lnent to fear in the East and Trow-
bridge IS rapidly developing into a
powerful hurdler
II the big Three decide to accent

citation and allow freshmen on the var

Columbia's rowing policy for 1919 in
GLIDING the appointment Of head
coach TO succeed Jim Rice, who re-
signed last June will probably be an
nounced within the course of the next
week or after the next meeting Of the
university committee on athletics. Fred
Plaisted, at present acting as head
coach, has started the rowing season
under way by calling out candidates and
having them practice on the rowing
machines in the university gymnasium,
but it has been agreed by the athletic
officials that young and energetic
man must be found to take general
charge Of the rowing situation.
Jim Rice does not want TO return to
Columbia, and although it cannot be
said that Columbia would not take him
back II it had the chance, nevertheless

made his stand against returning so
positive.
Rice quit Morningside Heights be-
cause conditions we're not to his liking
There was lacking material for the
proper development Of big school OF
rowing and Rice became unhappier
from year to year. lnasinvch as there
- no likelihood that conditions with
regard 70 material will change in the
immediate future the athletic author!-
tiss feel that II would be counting
trouble TO have Rice return to them
Charles HaIsted Mapog, chairman Of

definite selection has been made by the

Edward Haskell Joins
BROOKLYN Athletes

Another star athlete was added to
the Brooklyn Athletic Association
forces yesterday when Edward Haskell,
middle distance runner, signed reg
istration blank to run for the B. A. A.
in open competition. Haskell returned
recently after many months service in
France as member of the 59th Coast
Artillery (13th Regiment) Of Brooklyn.
Haskell promises to add much
strength to the already formi dable re-
lay team of the Brooklyn organization.
His first competition for his new club
will be in the junior national indoor
track and field championships at the
18th Regiment Arnory on next Satur-
day evening

the Tiger team invincihle in the two

tic champion at that distance, is at

McCulloch, captain Of last years
freshman cress-country and track
teams, is one of the best distance run

The return of Van Cleve and Strubing
has greatly strengthened the sprins
Van Cleve is former Hill School
captain and is credited with ten fat

race Coach Fitzpatrick has quartet
OF fast men in Terrill, Clark, Wren and
Jacobs. Terril and Clark were mem
bers Of the university relay team two
years ago.
The Princeton schedule is an ex-
tremely attractive one and will allow
two weeks between the two most i'm
portant meets of the year-the Yale
and Harvard dual contests. Princeton
will undoubtedly send strong team

time in five years the Tigers stand a

Plaisted, it is understood, will re-
main in his present capacity of assist
ant coach, a position which he has held
since 1912 when he first joined Co
lumbia's rowing staff 1t has been
known for long time that there was
no chance Of his being named head
coach because of his age and the fact
that he has not been in full charge OF
"A college crew for twenty-five years
or more. At one time he was head
coach Of the Bowdoin College crews.
The prospects Of the varsity elght
have taken a downward turn in the last
week because two men, Barrett brown
and Jim Parkes, who were counted on
to be on hand for this years crew,
have decided not to return to college.
parkes was in the university last fall,
but he has gone into business, while
Brown was graduated in june and has
abandoned his plans for graduate
study.

not BIO back and cannot be counted

present only two veterans arc certain
Of being on hand for the varsity boat.
AS there was only a makeshift flesh
man crew last spring which did not get
an opportunity to do much racing, the
chances Of getting any material from
that source are remote, with the result
that the new coach will be under the
handicap Of starting his first season

Naval Academy Delighted
With Its Rowing Prospects

ANNAPOLIS. Md, Feb. 8-The
Naval Academy is looking forward to
one of the most interesting rowing
seasons in years. The midshipmen ex-
pect to have crews in a number of
events, making up tho best rowing
schedule the Academy has ever had.
and the squad-both for varsity and
fourth class, or freshmen, crews-is the
finest in years
The fine outlook for rowing IL due
in no small measure to the activity of
Lieutenant Commander Joe f. Morri-
son. representative of the Navy Ath-
letic Association for rowing. Lieuten-
ant Commander Morrison attended the
meeting OF the stewards af the Ameri-
can Rowing Association Saturday even
ing. and it was there that general
arrangement OF the season was made
in at least tentative way.
An agreement WAS made In tenta-
tive way that Harvard and Princeton
should row the midshipmen at An
napolis on April 10. and tho Harvard
squad has been invited to spcnd the

Boston Golf Men
Count ON Ouinlet
To Retain Cup

Now that golf championships arc a
certainty, one of the big events of the
year and one that New York, Boston
and Penn sylvania are mostly interest
ed in is the Lesley Cup team matches
This will not be played until next fall,
but those who take part are beginning
to speculate early in the year about the
makeup of the teams and the chance >
they will have in the competition.
This year the matches will be played
IN the Metropolitan district. Boston
is possessor of the cup. In 1917 the
Hub men won this event without the
services of Francis Oumet, he being
barred from amateur golf
Ouimet, once more an amateur in
good standing, naturally looms up as
first place man on the team. Peul
Tewksbury and J. H. Sullivan jr. are
likely to be strong candidates for
places next autumn. Jesse Guilford
will be out again for a place on the
Lesley Cup team.
