175 TRACK MEN FAIL TO SATISFY COACH FARRELL

Winter Season Launched With Talks by Farrell, Haggerty, Gleason--Want Weight Men

About 175 candidates reported at the initial meeting of the winter track season in the Soldiers Field Locker Building yesterday afternoon. Coach E. L. Farrell declared himself satisfied with the turnout, but expressed a wish for more candidates, particularly in the weight events.

In a short talk to the candidates, the Crimson coach emphasized the importance of regularity in attendance, keeping in fit condition, and maintaining a high standard of scholarship. "Individual success," declared Coach Farrell, "depends on cooperation with the coaches and with the other members of the squad. Inexperienced men should not feel at a loss, since we have developed innumerable stars from men who never even saw a pair of spiked shoes before. I can guarantee a place on the squad to every man who comes to practice regularly, obeys the training rules in spirit as well as in letter, studies hard, and pitches in on the work here for all he is worth."

Gleason Outlines Season

After Coach Farrell had spoken, S. E. Gleasen '27, University Track Manager, and Captain E. C. Haggerty '27, made short speeches Gleason outlined the program of the year, and Haggerty urged all to keep up last year's standard, in which Harvard won her most important intercollegiate meets.

The names of those on the training table, who will form the nucleus of the squad, include:
