FRESHMAN TRACK OUTLOOK

The Freshman track squad contains much promising material this year. Although several of the men have already shown point winning ability, a large number of others, of more or less unknown possibilities, can be expected to develop rapidly in spring practice.

This year's Freshman team is much stronger in the sprints than last year's. J. P. Spang, Jr., J. L. Foley, R. Tower, and C. H. Tilton can all be depended upon for working up into fast time for the dashes. Foley ran a good race in the interscholastic 100-yard dash last spring, and won second place in the 110-yard and 220-yard dashes in the Freshman meet in the Stadium last fall. Tower took first place in both these Freshman events, and won second place in the 40-yard dash of the Winter Carnival. C. H. Tilton took first place in this 40-yard dash and in the handicap 45-yard low hurdles, making him the greatest individual point winner of the day. All four of these men ran on the winning Freshman class relay team. H. St.J. Smith should also come to the front as a sprinter with consistent work this spring.

Freshmen Strong in Middle Distances.

Strength for the quarter-mile is promised in F. W. Capper, G. H. Whitney, and P. M. Rice. Capper was third in a 51 second 440-yard dash in the interscholastic meet last spring. He won the same event in the Freshman meet last fall, won the 7-lap race on the board track in the Winter Carnival, and ran on his class relay team. Whitney, Tower, and Rice also ran on the 1915 relay team. W. P. Mandell is another candidate for the quarter-mile who shows promise.

In the half-mile the team will be very strong. E. P. Stone and F. W. Capper are sure to contest this race closely. Stone won second place in a fast interscholastic half-mile last year. He took first place in this event in the Freshman meet last fall and ran on the 1915 class relay team in the Winter Carnival. H. G. MacLure, another relay man, H. E. Fitzgibbons, who won the 3-lap race and ran on the relay team in the Winter Carnival, are also expected to show up well in the half-mile run.

The mainstay in the mile will be B. S. Carter, who won the novice 12-lap race on the board track in the Winter Carnival. E. P. Stone, H. G. MacLure, and S. Coolidge, Jr., will also try out for the mile. The greatest weakness of the team is probably in this event, but Gal- lagher, whom Yale will look to for a first place here will be liable to find Carter a close rival for the place.

In the two-mile run Carter, and H. Lider, who won the novice 12-lap race on the board track last month, seem to be the men of most ability. C. E. Morris, who took third place in the half-mile, and second in the two-mile race in the Freshman meet last fall, R. M. Hersey, and S. Coolidge, Jr., who also placed in the Freshman distance events, are all promising men for this spring's two-mile races.

Hurdlers Seem Promising.

There are several good hurdlers in the Freshman class. C. H. Tilton can be counted on for excellent work in any of the hurdle events. He won the 120-yard low hurdles in the Freshman meet last fall, and the 45-yard low hurdles in the Winter Carnival. Other fast men are E. J. Tapping, P. M. Rice, and H. St.J. Smith. F. Brooks, P. G. Courtney, S. Coolidge, Jr., and M. P. Robinson are also showing encouraging possibilities.

Prospects in Field Events ate Bright.

Prospects are very bright for winning the field events, with the exception of the hammer-throw, and even in this event there is good material which may be developed to equal the standard of the rest of the team.

In the high-jump J. B. Camp has already proven his ability. In the meet with M. I. T. at Providence last month he won first place with an actual jump of 5 feet 9 inches. F. H. Mahn and E. C. B. Danforth, Jr., are also jumping well and S. Stanton and Wright will be available with a little more work. The Yale freshmen seem to have a dearth of material in this event.

In the broad-jump S. F. Greeley has performed exceedingly well, but there is a wealth of promising material, and the competition for palces will no doubt be very keen as the season advances. In this event the Freshmen have H. R. Hardwick, C. E. Brickley, H. St.J. Smith, C. H. Tilton, P. M. Rice, and H. W. Rudd. E. P. Allis, M. A. Hofer and S. Stanton should also develop with steady, consistent work.

In the pole-vault, J. B. Camp can be looked to again for taking a place. He won this event in the fall meet with a vault of ten feet. E. J. Tapping, Jr., S. S. Hall, Jr., P. M. Rice, and D. deWindt are also promising men.

In the 16-pound shot-put the team has good chances of taking at least first and second in any of the meets. H. R. Hardwick and C. E. Brickley have shown remarkable strength in this event, and they are well backed by R. G. Gibson, J. C. Talbot and Watson.

In the 16-pound hammer-throw there are no experienced men and in this respect Yale has a decided advantage, but S. B. Pennock and H. S. Sturgis have been doing creditable work, and C. H. Jones, J. L. Priest, J. C. Talbot, and Watson can be expected to develop with them
