Preliminary work for the University and Freshman track teams is now in full swing at Soldiers Field, although the work is voluntary until the vacation. The board track is now set up and ready for the use of the sprinters and distance men. Handicap competitions are held in the cage every week in one or more of the field events, the weekly scores of contestants being counted in the final average.

This afternoon a competition for broad-jumpers and high-jumpers will be held in the baseball cage at 3.30 o'clock.

Regular practice for both runners and field event men will commence on Monday, January 4, but as many men as can should report regularly during the week which remains before the vacation.
