With Captain Overton, Farwell, Treadway, Braden, Davis and Nichols and a wealth of new material coming up from the 1919 squad, Yale has the best balanced and most formidable track team in a dozen years. In fact, the strength of the team is such that the Elis expect to defeat both Princeton and the University, and hope to win the intercollegiates. Overton and Farwell, the all-round stars of the team, are in record breaking form in the distance runs and the hurdles. In the last two big indoor meets, Overton has broken world's records in the mile and in the 1,000-yard events, while Farwell's form in capturing the hurdle race at the Meadowbrook games on March 12 again stamps him as a reasonably sure winner in Yale's dual meets, and a favorite in the intercollegiates.

Rodman, DeCernea, S. Potter, K. Potter, Stanley and Otis are the most promising performers from last year's freshman team. Rodman, captain of the 1919 team which defeated the Freshmen last spring, took four first places in the dual meet, his best performance being in the high jump in which he did five feet 10 inches.

In the sprints the team will again have Treadway who, although he has twice failed to defeat Captain E. A. Teschner '17, scored fifth in the intercollegiates in the 100-yard and fourth in the 220-yard races. From last year's victorious freshman team de Carnea, who ran second to H. C. Flower '19 in the 100-yards and would have easily won the 220 had he not been disqualified for stepping out of his lane, has been showing extremely good will probably push the leader closely this spring.

The team is weakest in the middle distance events, especially the quarter. Ireland, who ran second in the dual meet with the University Freshmen last year, is the best of the 440 men. Prospects in the half-mile are better, however, for Rolfe, Ireland and Cooper, who have been running on Yale's championship long distance relay team, are all good men in this event.

In the field events, the department in which the University squad is fundamentally weak, the Elis are unusually strong In the pole vault, Heyl and Nagel can both clear 12 feet. Rodman and Grant are the best of the high jumpers, and the latter has done over 22 feet in the broad jump. Braden, the football star, can toss the weight 45 feet and is the logical winner of the shot put against both the University and Princeton. Of the field events, Yale is weakest in the hammer-throw
