more. Saturday night. The Blue and
Gold is entered in the relay race and one
mile run.
Track Coach Lecato will take five men
to Baltimore for the meet and they are
training hard every afternoon this week
to get in shape. As matter oil TACT,
these men and some others have been
doing some indoor training on the gym
running track for several weeks. The
five men whom he will take To Baltimore
are Harmer, Lilly, Tebo and Pullman for
the relay and Pat" Hoey for the one
mile run. All five are new men at Della
ware, they having only entered college
last September.
Bv reputation Fred lIarmer is the best
known OF the squad. Harmer made
great reputation several years ago while
student mt the West Philadelphia High
School and later at Perkiomen prep"
School rs n runner. He also attracted
considerable attention while in the service
in France. where he took part and won
number Of events in the A. Il. +. meets.
Great things are expected OF Harmer
at Delaware this year. As quarter and
half miller he IS expected TO be the equal
OF any athlete in college ranks. He IS
probably best at the half mile. Harmer IS
taking an active interest in the prellmi-
nary plans for Delaware's track season
and is assisting Coach LcCato in coaching
some of the other runners.
Lilly is another Perkiomen boy who ls
expected to add strength 20 Deawarcs s
relay team. Tebo, whose home is III Do
ver, attended Mercersburg last year and
did good work on the cirder path. Pitt
man is from Camden High School. In
addition TO running the relay, Coach
IeCato NAV try to develop Pittman into
n f0O-yard sprinter, rs Delaware looks
at present to be weak in the sprints and
hurdles. pat" Hoey is another Dover
boy. He has had little experience on the
cinder path, but Coach IeCato has been
so well pleased with his indoor work that he
decided 10 give him show IN the mile
event at Baltimore. Hoey has a fine
stride and looks to have endurance. The
Johns Hopkins meet will give LeCato an
excellent opportunity of seeing these new
men in competition for the first time.
If the weather is favorable Coach
IeCato will call the track candidates out

squad of candidates. Paul Kite Is man
ager of the track team for this year and
Harry Loose is captain. While the coach
has not had the opportunity of seeing
many of the expected candidates IN ac-
tion, the prospects ar bright for strong
team.
Ir the field events much depends on
whether or not Captain Loose's arm is
strong by spring. His arm was injured

game. and il has been feared that because
Of that injury he may not be in shape for

understood that several students who
entered last fall are good with the javelin.
For the pole vault, Mcdonald, who holds
the Delaware record, has returned 10 col
lege and that gives the Blue and Gold one
of the best vaulters among the colleges
Of the east.
For track the sprints and hurdles prom
ise to give Coach Lee Csto the most trouble,
although it is possible that one or two
good athletes for these events NAV be
found when the candidates report fer OUT

fixed for the quarter, half mile and two
mile runs than ever before. Joe" VIII
son, who holds both the mile and two
mile records, should be better than ever
before, and viii have some good men to
help him out this year. Manager Kite
will probably run the mile and Hoey, as
stated, is also expected TO make good
