The dates for the fall races of the H. A. A. will soon be announced. As is customary, the handicap meeting will be preceded by a series of races, open only to freshmen, and it is especially desirable that the events of this first meeting be well contested. Other members of the university know the pleasure derived from belonging to the Mott Haven team, and going to New York to compete in the Inter-collegiate sports. Last spring Yale came very near beating us in the number of first prizes. And although we won the cup, many of our valuable men are no longer in college. The team which represented Yale is about intact; while our own must be recruited, else we can scarcely hope to retain the championship in track athletics. No man is sure whether or not he will compete successfully until he has tried. Therefore, it is necessary that a large number of '90 men commence training immediately for their meeting. Added inducement is offered by the fact that freshmen are sure of liberal handicaps in the university races. There is no reason why '90 should not begin her athletic victories by a series of unusually good field sports.
