The nucleus of Yale's Track Athletic Team has also been chosen. The men are mostly new candidates, who have not "won Yale sweaters" before. The only very promising sprinter is W. M. Richards son of Professor Richards. He has good endurance from his experience as substitute full-back on the eleven. There are two other good men for the half-mile run and for the 440 yards dash, G. M. Laughlin and G. S. Frank. The fastest man for the quarter-mile run is H Chubb, though Butterworth is a good man. Scoville and Morgan will run the mile and have done good work during the winter. Brewster, who rode so well last year, is considered the best bicyclist, though J. W. Allen and E H. Young are not much his inferiors. Wright is walking exceptionally well. But it is in field events that Yale's chances are brighest. Sheldon, Lyman, Ladd, Gillespie, Rowe and Dickson will try the high and broad jumps. Hickok, Coxe, Lyman, Brown and Sheldon are relied upon for their share of points in the hammer and shot. Cartwright the pole vaulter is still at Yale and has a close competitor in C. P. Rice.

In making a general survey of the field it is safe to assert that Yale's strength this year will lie in the hammer throw, the pole vault, the high jump, the mile walk, and the half-mile run, with a sure chance of one place in the bicycle race and every run.
