Mott Haven Team.

The members of the Mott Haven Team will not be definitely chosen until after the Spring Meeting. A brief glance at the most promising from the large number of candidates now training may not be out of place.

For the 100 and 220 yards, Rogers, '87, Lund, '88, Merrill, '89, Mandell, '89, Meyer, '90, Brown, '90, are the most prominent men. Merrill and Mandell have both improved and are doing nearly as fast work as the more experienced Rogers and Lund. Wells, L. S., Hardy, '87, Cogswell, '90, Dana, '88, Griffing, '89, Endicott, '90, Strout, '90, intend to run the quarter, and with the exception of the first two, the half-mile as well. As usual, Wells is the fastest man in the quarter, probably the fastest in any college. In the half there is not yet much choice between the men. Cogswell ran a very fast half last fall. Dudley, '87, and Davenport, '90, are both good mile runners. Davenport is a strong man, and runs in good form; he is sure to make a fast mile. Hale, '88, may train for this event after the class races. In the mile walk, Wright, L. S., Semis. '87, and Zinkeisen, '89, will contest.

There are no experienced men in the two-mile bicycle race. Haseltine, '88, Merrill, '90, and Slade, '90, are riding, and may make good men. Dana, L. S., and Gibson, '88, are putting the shot and throwing the hammer. Both are doing good work. Hunter, '89, is also putting the shot with fair success. Treat, L. S., Brewer, '88, C. N. Cogswell, '88. Thayer, '88, Atkinson, '89, Perry, '90, are all candidates for the broad jump. Clark, '87, is the only man in the running high jump. Craig, '87, and Leavitt, '89, are practicing for the pole vault. Leavitt vaulted 10 feet 5-8 inch at the last Winter Meeting, and it is expected that he will show up well at the games.

The track opened very late this spring, almost a fornight later than last year, and none of the men have had more than a fortnight's training. Therefore, there have been no trials of their capacities. The weather has been anything but favorable. The track has been frozen and snowed upon until it is as far from good condition as the men who trained upon it. There are still almost five weeks before the intercollegiate games, and there is no doubt that the men under the able training of Mr. Lathrop will get into condition to take the places of Baker, Bradley, Chamberlain, Smith and Wheeler of last year's team, who are no longer in college.
