SOUTHERN TRIP FOR TRACK TEAM?

It is understood that the Athletic Committee does not intend to allow the track team to go to Virginia during the spring recess. This is a misfortune, as the team needs every bit of available practice before the important spring meets.

In addition to the annual quota of men taken by graduation, the team has been greatly weakened by injuries and by the loss of men completing their College course in three years. For this reason it is more necessary than usual to develop the new material rapidly. Only five weeks of College remain before the dual meet with Yale, and it does not seem that the team can afford to lose the valuable advance which it would derive from a southern trip. One week in the South should put the training of the team at least two weeks further along, and it certainly seems a short-sighted policy to make a small monetary saving which may prove very costly in the end.
