The University and Freshman track squads had a light work-out yesterday afternoon on Soldiers Field, but will start intensive training today for the Tiger meets Saturday at the Palmer Stadium and Soldiers Field respectively. Trials will be held tomorrow for the University men to decide in a few doubtful cases who will be chosen for the Princeton trip. The final list of Crimson competitors will probably be announced tomorrow night. Tomorrow also the fourth series of the Garcelon hurdle races will be held.
Coaches Bingham and Farrell are both looking forward to the struggle with the Orange and Black with optimism. Princeton's 71 1-3 to 48 2-3 victory over Yale a week ago Saturday was won by approximately 16 points more than the Crimson's more recent triumph. In spite of this fact the feeling on Soldiers Field is that it will be entirely possible for the University to overcome the Tigers.
Princeton rolled up its large score against the Elis principally in the field events and the hurdles. Thompson of the Orange and Black won both the timber-topping races. In the 220-yard lows he bettered the time made by Thayer of the University Saturday, but in the 120-yard highs did not go as fast as Whitney in the Crimson-Blue meet.
Out of seven field events Princeton won first places in five, tied for first in one, and took second in the seventh. These statistics concerning the hurdles and field events mean little unless it is taken into consideration that in those events the chance for an erratic showing is especially great. A man will jump six feet one week and the next will be unable to clear five feet, six. Gardner's poor work in the pole-vault for Yale Saturday proved conclusively how a man considered a certain winner in a field event may fall down at the last moment. It is therefore by no means sure that the Orange and black men will do as well against the Crimson in the hurdles and field events as they did against Yale. If the University then can hold its own in the running events and win a margin in the field, the meet should be a Crimson victory.
Coach Tolbert will hold the 1925 trials tomorrow for the Tiger meet in the Stadium Saturday in the form of an inter dormitory track meet. This meet will be open to all members of the Freshman class.
