The regular winter meeting of candidates for the track team was held in Upper Massachusetts last night. Captain Rice announced that it is almost sure that Oxford and Cambridge will send a team to America this year, although the date for the meet has not been decided upon. The dual games with Yale will probably be held during the first week in May and the intercollegiate games two weeks later. Mr. Lathrop, in speaking of Harvard's past success in track athletics, said that in the last fifteen years Harvard has won seven intercollegiate championships, has beaten Yale in five dual meets out of eight, and has beaten Pennsylvania in two dual meets. He announced that as there is still a vacant space on the dual cap permanently won by Harvard last year the winning team in this spring's games will be inscribed on that cup as well as on the new one offered this year. The candidates will begin work Monday morning in four squads, at 11 and 12 o'clock and at 3.30 and 4.30 o'clock. Every candidate is expected to work every day, but not necessarily always in the same squad. For the present the work will be in pulley weights, low hurdles, light dumbbells, and running on the outdoor track.
