A WIDE INTEREST IN TRACK ATHLETICS.

The meeting for track candidates tonight should interest not only men who have proven their ability in some form of track athletics, but also any others who are looking for an agreeable form of exercise. The coaches have always been ready to give time to men who come to them without an impressive list of records, not merely from disinterested reasons, but, because in this branch of sport more than almost any other, men develop latent ability, and develop it so rapidly as to be of value to the team.

This applies especially to Freshmen, for practice on a class team at the beginning of a College course gives the coaches a chance to learn what men can be depended upon when they become eligible for the University team. As next spring's meet will decide whether Harvard or Yale shall gain possession of the trophy which has been competed for for eight years, it is particularly essential that the foundation of a winning track team should be laid early in the year.
