ADVANCE SHOWN IN WORK OF CRIMSON TRACK MEN

Good weather has permitted Coach Bingham to make a big advance in the training of his squad of runners, during the last few days, while Coach Farrell has been testing out his field event men with a series of informal competitions. The results in both the shot-put and broad-jumping events have not been altogether satisfactory and more men are needed especially in the Freshman weight events. As a good many of the broad jumpers were unable to compete in yesterday's competition, there will be another contest for both University and Freshman squads at 2.30 o'clock this afternoon as well as a similar competition for the hammer-throwers.

In yesterday's event the yearling broad jumpers demonstrated an apparent superiority over the University entries by walking off with first, second, and fourth places; H. W. Davis '24 coming in third with J. S. Murphy '25 and J. M. Bruce '25 gaining first and second honors respectively. In the Shot-put Captain Brown who won the hammer-throw competition last Monday, again demonstrated his superiority among the Crimson weight men by getting the best distance, with H. W. Clark '23 second, and W. A. Gillette '22 third.

Coach Bingham has been giving special attention to the hurdlers during the last few days in order to have them in as good shape as possible today when Mr. W. M. Rand '09, captain of the last University track team to win the inter college late meet, will be at Soldiers Field. Although there may be time trials for the runners today, the hurdless will be put through no serious competitions until The beginning of next week.

Unless bad weather conditions force him to alter his plans Coach Bingham will hold the trials for the spring trip on Tuesday of next week. These trials will not alone determine the men to go south and no announcement of the successful competitors will be made until the following Friday.

It was announced yesterday that the Garcelon hurdle races will this year come on April 26, and on the third, tenth, seventeenth, and twenty-fourth of May. Miniature prize hurdles will be presented by Mr. W. F. Garcelon '95, former hurdler and track coach at the University and now a member of the track advisory committee. As was the case last year there will be ten prizes in all, one to be presented to the winner in both the high and the low hurdles on each of the five days. In the first two races, the high and low hurdles will be over a distance of 65 and 120 yards respectively with five hurdles in each, while there will be the regular 120-yard high and 220-yard low races on the last three days with the usual 10 hurdles. No one man will be allowed to win more than one of the ten prizes
