As many as two hundred and fifty men are now working every day in the Mott Haven squad for the different events. Yesterday for the first time trial heats of 40 yards were run by a portion of the sprinters, but on account of the short time the men have been in training they were rather slow, five seconds being about the average time made.
The distance men were given the hardest work so far this year, the halfmile men running four laps, and the mile men eight laps, which is their full distance.
The indoor handicap meetings open to Harvard men, of which there will be a large number this winter, will begin Monday, Jan. 18, with those given by the Cambridgeport Athletic Association, at the Cambridgeport Gymnasium, corner of Harvard and Prospect streets. Owing to the short time the men have been in training the distance runners were advised not to enter these games. The entries closed last night with the following Harvard men entered:
