The most promising candidates for the Yale Mott Haven team went to the training table Saturday. The team will be smaller numberically this year than heretofore, and it strength will lie principally in old and experienced men. The men who went to the training table Saturday are Sherrill, '89, Shearman, '89, Harmar, '90, Robinson, '90, Weare, '90 S., Clarke, '91. Sherrill has sufficient recovered from the injury which he received at Detroit last fall to allow him to run and he has been making good time. Harmar, who is depended upon to take the mile run, is now very fat and heavy, but hopes to be able to get into condition before the intercollegiate games which occur on May 25. There are no new men who show any promise of ever developing into fast runners. McGuire, '90, who had quite a reputation as a runner before he came to college, but who has devoted his collegiate course to gaining high academic honors, has finally cosented, after much urging, to use his athletic abilities for the benefit of the university. He will be a valuable acquisition. Trainer Murphy has been hard at work with the men, and they have been making rapid progress, especially in starting.

Much is expected of the bicycle riders, Weare and Clarke. So much interest is manifested in this event that the Athletic Association has decided to employ a special trainer. The trainer will be William Cochrane, who has had considerable experience in this kind of work, having filled a similar position at the University of Pennsylvania, where he developed Keen. He will come the last of this month and be with the men for a month before the games. Little interest is manifested in the tug-of-war although four of last year's team are in college and Yale ought to take second in the event.

The candidates for the team will all remain in New Haven during the Easter recess and train.
