N. Y. j. PLANS BIG
ATHLETIC SEASON
Pole Vault Is the Only Event in
Which the Violet IS Lacking
in Competitors.

Plans for an extensive indoor season for
New York University's track athletes are
already rounding into shape under the
supervision of Harry Won Filing. coach
and John Esquirol. manager Of the team.
Daily practice for all members of last
years team and for the big squad of new
candidates is being held in the gymnasium
at University Heights. 1t is hoped that
several of the Violets stars will be in con-
dition to take an active part in the various
indoor meets scheduled m the metropolitan
district. The only event in which the Violet
team is at present lacking in competitors;
is the pole vault.
In December Won Filing entered four of
his charges in meeting in New Rochelle,
where they romped away with first honors,
coming in ahead Of the squad from the
New York Athletic Club. Their perform
ance caused the Violet mentor to increase
his efforts in getting the other Sprinters
and middle distance runners up to a par
with this quartet, and he feels that in the
time which follows the midyear examina-
tions until the opening of the outdoor sea-
son the squad will clinch many places in
the coming indoor meets.
Won Filing is not pinning his hopes OF
success on the track athletes alone. as he
has a squad of men working in the field
events. Besides Captain Frank Sieffert,
q high jumper of ability, and Howard G.
Cam. in the shot putting and hammer
throwing events. he will have the services
Of Jack Wetherdon, the champion high
jumper, who came from the University of
Utah last year and was debarred from
competition on account OF the one year
rule prevailing at the university. Al
Quincy, who bore the brunt Of the shot
putting and hammer throwing work last
year before Cam returned to college from
the service, will be another man upon
whom Won Filing can count Cam and
Quincy are both proficient in the discus
event as we'll.
Workouts for the hurdling contingent of
the Violet track team is the only depart
ment which is giving Won Filing any
grave concern. The indoor track in the
gymnasium at University Heights does
not allow of setting up a fun course in
timber-topping, but the coach has man
aged to give the men thorough training
in form, relying upon their running abil-
ity TO carry them through. Quincy Bald
win and Craig Bartlett who captured sew
eral places last spring. are both display
ing improved form. They are exceptional
sprinters and seem to have mastered the
hurding art to perfection.

charge against Titterton is that he should

The Registration Committee is to make

asked Titterton to send IL the envelope
which he had mailed to the Newark Of

iTRAPSHOOTERS OF
WEST LED IN 1919
Eastern Amateurs Were Unable to
Overcome Greatest Average Ever
Compiled by Team of Ten.
by PETER r. CARNEY.

Many times each year we are asked -
''Are the Western trapshooters superior
to the trapshots of the East?"
Having no desire to get into an argument
we revert to that grand old American
game known as passing tho buck
Whether the best trapshooters grow in the
East or in the West is matter of opinion
and depends greatly on which section of
the country you hail from. Once n year
however, we try to give an answer through
a method that is hard to beat. We pick
the leading ten amateurs of the West and
the leading ten amateurs of the East. total
their scores, work out the averages and
then hand them to you. After you have
gone over the list you can draw your own
conclusion.
In 1919 the Western amateurs have it all
over. figuratively speaking, the Eastern
shooters. averaging .9760-the greatest
average ever compiled by the ten leading
amateurs in the history of trapshooting
They missed only S57 targets in the 49,,
125 shot at-and if you don't think this Is
wonderful shooting just pack up your
scatter gun some afternoon and go out ano
shoot at $4,000 targets The Eastern
shooters did well. averaging .963S, which is
about as good as any Eastern ten has ever
done. but with the Western shooters a,
their best this wasn't good enough.
The Eastern shooters showed the way
to the Westerners in 1915, 1916 and 1917
but in 1918 the Westerners came to the
front, and, by the way they shot in 1919
they intend to remain in front This al
Western team makes a wonderful shoot
ing combination, and it is doubtful if they
could be beaten in match event by g
team from any other section of the
country.
Much of the strength of the Western
team comes from Illinois, four Of the ter
being residents of that Commonwealth
Iowa has two members and the other fou,
are from California, Washington. Ne.
braska and Oregon. Frank Troeh, o1
Washington. has been on all five Western
teams and he and Chan Powers, of Hi.
nois, are the only two members Of the
1918 team that came through in 1919
Ohio gets credit for three shooters or
the Eastern team. Pennsylvania and New
York two each and Indiana, Kentucky
and Florida one each. Frank Wright, am
ateur champion of the country. is the only
Eastern shooter who has made the team
all five years. Pendergast, of New York
has made the team four straight years
and Blyston, of Florida, is on it for the
second time. These three are the only
holdovers Charley Newcomb. of Penn
sylvania, made the team four straight
years but didn't pull through this time.
