Athletics at Dartmouth.

The prospects for a strong nine at Dartmouth are excellent. The candidates practice daily in the new cage and a good deal of excellent material has been developed. Of last year's nine only four men are left, Williams, '90, shortstop; Baehr, '90, pitcher; Ranney, M. S., and Jones, '90, catchers. For the other positions there is no lack of candidates, and besides Baehr, Viau and Woodcock, '91, and Kendall, '89, are trying for pitcher's position. The men are being coached by Leon, and owing to competition they are all training very carefully. The athletic team for the Worcester tournament is not yet in regular training. Ellis, Williams and Little, who won their events in last year's tournament, are back in college and have signified their intention of trying for the team. In jumping, vaulting, and high kicking, Weeks and Coon, '92, are doing good work, and the tug-of-war men have pulled every team they have met.
