Track is Booming at Cornell

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A new movement to popularize track athletics at Cornell and to encourage an even larger number of men to come out for the exercise, even if they fail to make the team, has been launched by the Cornell Track Association, with the approval and support of Coach John F. Moakley and faculty members on the Athletic Council. A series of weekly social gatherings for all students interested in outdoor exercise has been arranged. Last year Cornell had four hundred men out for track athletics, and it is expected that fully five hundred men will be enrolled this fall. Only a fraction of this number will have a chance for the university team, but the Cornell policy is that everyone will benefit from exercise, and that the prime purpose of athletics should be to attract as many persons as possible.
