Both University and Freshman track squads underwent a hard practice yesterday afternoon that inaugurated the vigorous drilling which Coach Bingham plans to continue until the Yale meet, now less than three weeks away. The immediate goal of the Freshmen will be their initial meet of the year on Saturday against Andover. The University men will not have their next meet, against M. I. T., until May 6, as the Pennsylvania Relay Carnival will take place on Friday and Saturday of this week.
Coach Bingham has deceded to send only two men to Franklin Field for this carnival, although he had previously expected to have entries in several events. He has now announced definitely that Captain Brown and Marshall in the ham-her-throw will be the sole University entries on Saturday while Brown will also put the shot Friday afternoon. Next to Brown, Burke, who won the mile against both the Navy and Virginia, would be Coach Bingham's best prospect, but the carnival has no race of a suitable distance for him except in the relays and the University coach does not want to send a team of runners to Philadelphia.
The practice yesterday showed that the men have improved somewhat during their week in the south and the work was satisfactory. Whitney, who pulled a muscle in the triangular meet at Annapolis last Saturday, will be forced to keep out of practice for nearly a week, but although this will keep him from taking part in the Pennsylvania carnival, he will be in shape for the Tech meet on the sixth.
Mr. R. C. Foster '11, former captain of the University track team, will be at Soldiers Field at 2.45 o'clock this afternoon to give special attention to the sprinters. Tomorrow Coach Tolbert will hold time trials for the Freshman squad in order to determine the men who will go to Andover Saturday. On the same afternoon the first hurdle race for the Garcelon trophies will be held. On that day as well as on the four following Wednesdays, there will be races in both the high and low burdles with minature bronze hurdles for the winners in each, no one man being allowed to win more that one of the ten prizes. The races on the first two of these days will be over approximately half the regular distance, 65 yards in the high and 120 yards in the low races with five hurdles in each
At 3.30 o'clock Friday afternoon there will be a handicap meet in which all members of the University squad must enter. In addition to these men, events will be open to other undergraduates and those Freshmen not going to the Andover meet. The work this week is of special significance inasmuch as the list of entries for the May intercollegiates, the M. I. T., and the Yale meets must be submitted by the coaches on Saturday
