Although the University seems to be best represented in the sprints, the hurdles, the mile and the hammer throw; the strength is, on the whole evenly distributed. C. H. Wansker '23 stands out as the leading man in the 100-yard dash, with Vinton Chapin '23 and J. E. Merrill '24, captain of last year's Freshman team, as his running mates; while in the 220-yard sprint, J. D. Chase '22 is the fastest of the University entries. In the quarter mile both Bayard Wharton '22 and Richard Chute '22, who placed first and second respectively in the Yale...
...Lourie, who is entered in the 100-yard dash, and in Stevenson, who is in the 220, E. O. Gourdin '21, the mainstay of the Crimson team in the sprints so far this season, will meet two of the best men he has run against this year. Lourie ran second to Feldman of Yale in the 100 two weeks ago, and Gourdin should have little difficulty in beating him to the tape, but Stevenson is a more dangerous competitor. He beat Feldman in the furlong distance in the fast time of 22 seconds, and the chances are that he will...
Although the principal college and school relay events will not take place until tomorrow, two of especial interest are on the program for this afternoon. These are the College Championship Medley Sprint and Distance Relay Races, in the former of which the Uni versity was at first entered.

In the Distance Relay the Navy track men will make their first...
...order to strengthen this event Captain O'Connell was shifted from the mile in the University of Pennsylvania meet. The change did not have the desired effect, since the mile was considerably weakened, and the longer distance impaired Captain O'Connell's ability to make a strong enough sprint at the finish. It is unlikely that this experiment will be tried again, and during the next few weeks the coaches will spend a good deal of time in an effort to bolster up the long distance...
...announced that Major F. H. Briggs, a former M. I. T. track star, has donated a bronze trophy, to be awarded to the winner of the 50-yard dash at the B. A. A. games. This is one of the few large prizes ever donated for a sprint event. The gift is governed by the same conditions as other trophies, going to the athlete first winning it three times. E. O. Gourdin '21, R. D. Howard '23, and Vinton Chapin '23 are the University entries in this event, but it is not yet decided whether they will run, as both...
