Hardell naturally does not feel opti-
miStic as to Techs track outlook, ana
while he has the reputation OF gener-
ally looking on the dark side, 1T GER
tainly seems that his peSSimiSm under
the circumstances is justified. He does
not expect that Mckinley will be a real
contender for championship honors in
the annual meet next Spring, but says
the Maroon and Gray will be in there
fighting for every point it can get. Tech
also will list its usual schedule, prob
ably sending small squad to the Uni
versity of Virginia indoor games If they
are held and taking part in the outdoor
meets here in the Spring in which 1t
usually is represented.
Hardell is hopeful that the quarter
mile cinder track at Tech will be ready
for use the coming season and that 1t
will be unnecessary for him to take his
boys to Eastern or some other place for
training.
Candidates for the Tech team will
begin indoor work around January 10.
