Dual Meets Listed.
So far the track squad has two dual

be scheduled. Besides the three dual
meets. the squad is to compete in the
Pennsylvania relays and in the South

Have Only Green Material.
The track and lacrosse teams will be
made up almost entirely of green ma
terial. In fact, for the track squad
the notification posted on bulletin
boards announcing practice contains
the statement that sophomores and
freshmen only are wanted, and the
sport will be run almost solely with
the idea of developing a strong squad
for 1922. Also as many freshmen as
possible are to be encouraged to play
lacrosse, so that material may be de-
veloped and the sport put on a SOUND
basis. Brewer, the one tried track
man in school, may not be able to run
this year because Of a broken bone in
his foot, which now is in a cast He is

Bat Nelson displayed his marks as
proudly as a French soldier displays
his war-Won decorations.
Tom Sharkey's ears were models Of

administered, he hurried forthwith to
a surgeon and had himself fixed up.
