No Track Sports
at WestbrOOk in "a

Westbrook seminary will not place
a track team on the cinder path this
spring. owing to lack of suita BILE
material. During past years, with
the exception of last year, the semi
narians had good track outfit that
carried the red and gray to a high
place in interscholastic circles. Their
performances at the Bowdoin meet in
past sasons has been creditable.
Only few men who possess track
ability are registered at the Sem this
year. Dussault, n half and quarter
miller, is laid up with a foot trouble
that has handicapped him for the
past year. Philips is said to have
been one of the fastest around Bos-
ton schooiboy circles. but will not
do any track work this spring. Pros
poets for field events are decidedly
missing.
In view of the above facts, the Sem
will turn all its attention to making
crack ball team. Judging from pre-
liminary announcements made by
baseball candidates, there is enough
material present and available to
make up two first class aggregations.
At least two men will strive to gain
each position on the nine. 1t is prob
able that the men will be tossing the
ball around in the Macarthur gym the
latter part of this month. A world of
pitching talent will be unearthed
this spring as at least four hurlers
here are reported to be OF first string
caliber.

Togus, Jan. 29.-Already baseball
talk is beginning to buzz in the Home

forming of four team trolley league,
with Augusta, Gardiner, Lewiston,

would allow Sunday games to be
played in the various cities mention
ed. Nothing definite has yet been de-
cided. but the matter is under con-
sideration and 1t is possible that the

New York. Jan. 29.-Every victory
scored SO far in the college basket
ball league has been on a home court
Princeton and Penn over Yale. Yale
over Cornell, Cornell over Princeton,
Columbia over Princeton and Penn,
Dartmouth over Columbia. Cornell
over Dartmouth. Therefore, Tom
Thorp is moved to assert that the
team which wins its away-from-
home game will win the champion
ship. This is the best race the lea
que has had; it is closest, and the
teams are the best matched.
The almost equal strength of the
six competitors is why Thorp. who
referees in the league and knows its
units capabilities, attaches unusual
Importance to a road victory, and it
accounts for none of such so far.
What little advantage there is in a
home court and what disadvantage
there is in railroad trip have just
enough effect to count against the
visitor.
