Over 100 candidates for the University and Freshman track teams reported to Coach W. J. Bingham '16 yesterday afternoon for the initial meeting of the winter track season. In a brief address to the men Coach Bingham gave directions for training and outlined plans for the coming season. "All Freshmen," he said, "even though inexperienced, should report, as the training received now will prove invaluable to them later on the University squad."

One of the features of the program this year is the increased number of meets for the Freshmen. The yearlings had very few opportunities to test their skill last season, but at least four meets are now on the schedule. The University squad is entered in several contests, and there will be, in addition, a number of practice meets. An innovation in the system this year is the establishment of a separate coaching staff for the University and 1925 squads. Coach Bingham will have charge of the University men, and the Freshman coach will be appointed as soon as the action has been approved by the H. A. A.

Practice for both squads will be held daily from now on, and the men will be divided as soon as possible into groups to report at regular hours during the afternoon. Owing to a delay in the shipment of materials, the board track will not be ready for use until tomorrow, and practice today will be held underneath the Stadium.
