Cornell track team has begun its spring
campaign and from now until the inter-
collegiate meet at the end of next month

intense activity. For the first time since
the war even conservative supporters Of
the Ithacans believe that they have a
real chance to regain championship
honors at the intercollegiates. though
Moakley says that it is far too early
to calculate probable chances In that
classic.
Cornelrs strength lies in the runs hur-
dies and high jump. The four weight
events do not offer much prospect
though there is possibility that Wager
and Tobey may come through in the
hammer throw, and Gouinlock Is good
for twelve feet in the pole vault 1t is

X. Lovejoy. who equalled the worlds
record for rs yards, indoors. in the Cor
nell-Michigan meet, will be Corncll's
mainstay in the 100 yard dash. 1t is

him less In the 220 than in the century

support Lovejoy in the sprints.
