The prospective triple track athletic meeting between Yale, Berkeley and Princeton has given new impetus to athletics at New Haven. Captain Sheldon has called out his men and put the track team candidates into training. They will be kept at work steadily until after the close of the athletic season, May 30. Yale's outlook in the track line is very good. Of the fifteen men who competed in the games with Cambridge last fall, four-Richards, Cady, Hickok and Crane-have left college. The loss of Richards will be keenly felt, as he has contributed more to the success of the team than any one man except Hickok. Burnet will be Yale's mainstay in the dashes this year. Hickok not only won more points for Yale in four years than any other man has ever won, but he also trained up three good men in hammer and shot events-Chadwick, Cross and Brown. So Yale will still be strong in these two events. Hatch and Perkins are worthy successors of Cady in the hurdles. The other point winners in college are: Morgan, mile run; Thompson, high jump; Wadhams, long distance runs; and Byers and Mitchell, short runs. Trainer Murphy will keep the men in hand till the annual games.
