1917 TRACK PROSPECTS BRIGHT

From all appearances the University should be represented on the track next year by a team of moderate strength, even though many point winners will be lost by graduation. As in former years, the team will be weak in the field events especially. In the middle-distances the loss of former Captain Bingham '16, T. R. Pennypacker '16, and A. Biddle '16 will be keenly felt, especially at the time when a middle-distance relay team is being formed.

Five good men will be lost in the field events; namely, G. G. Haydock '16, J. O. Johnstone '16, E. R. Roberts '16, A. T. Lyman '16, and W. Rollins '16. Two of the best hurdlers in college, J. Coolidge '16, in the high, and F. S. Allen '16, in the low, will materially weaken these.

However, captain E. A. Teschner '17 and W. Moore '18 will be on hand next year to help out in the sprints; W. Wilcox, Jr., '17 should star in the quartermile run and H. Minot '17 will be a valuable man in the hurdles and middle-distances. In the mile and two-mile runs R. D. Campbell '17, R. H. Davison '17, J. Coggeshall, Jr., '18, and G. A. King '18 will be the best men representing the University. C. S. Babbitt '18 and H. Davis '18 will perform next year in the pole-vault and broad-jump respectively.

From this year's Freshman team two valuable men will be available for the University team in H. C. Flower, Jr., '19, sprinter and broad-jumper, and J. D. Hutchinson '19, distance runner and captain of the 1919 cross-country and track teams. Also a great deal of good new and undeveloped material has been seen on the track this spring, which should fill up to some extent those vacancies left by the graduation of the several valuable men before mentioned.
