RUNNERS TAKE TO CINDERS MONDAY

Outdoor track will get under way officially with a meeting of the University and Freshman runners next Monday at Soldiers Field, it was announced last night by Coach E. L. Farrell. After a layoff of two weeks following the Michigan indoor meet the trackmen will dontogs once more.

Due to the long indoor track season this winter, lengthened by two weeks on account of the Michigan games, the outdoor period has necessarily been shortened. The University and Freshman squads will have only seven weeks of running on the cinders before the Intercollegiate, and only six weeks until the Yale meet, to be held on May 19.

After a week of outdoor workouts, 25 University trackmen will journey to Williamsburg, Virginia, where they will engage in a triangular meet with William and Mary and the University of Maryland on April 14. On April 27, Harvard will enter a relay team in the Penn relays, to be held in Philadelphia, and on May 5 come the University handicap games. Other meets on this year's schedule are: Dartmouth, May 12, and the Intercollegiate, May 26.

Since weather has permitted, the shot putters and weight men have been working out daily on Soldiers Field. Coach Farrell believes that more points will be tallied this year in these events than have been scored in them in recent years, and he is working to overcome this prevalent weakness of the University teams of the recent past. He stated yesterday that C. A. Pratt '28 is in his best early season form in throwing the discus and Javelin, that David Guarnaccia '29 shows greater promise than ever in the discus, and that T. G. Moore '29 is hurling the javelin with more ease than in customary so early in the season.
