A CUP IN THE FIELD EVENTS.

The presentation of a cup for greatest improvement in the field events, and the system of electing captains for the various departments may arouse the competitive spirit where it bears most fruit. That as great skill in the field events may be obtained by conscientious practice as by any natural aptitude has been proved in the last two seasons. Men with mediocre physical qualifications have developed into intercollegiate point winners. As the track team never has had at its disposal an abundance of field event material, more men with will-power and a desire to be athletic should specialize in some department. Though awkward at first, they will meet competition of their own standard, which may succeed in holding their interest. For a victory over Yale this year an effective balance of field event men is imperative.
