YALE HALF-MILERS STRONG

Followers of Yale track think that University will have the best team in years this spring, and their opinion is not without grounds. The record of the unbeaten relay team which was developed during the winter season and the work of Landon, the Olympic high-jump champion, will make Harvard and Princeton extend themselves to the utmost, in order to win their respective meets with Yale. The blue team has dual meets scheduled with Harvard, Princeton, and Pennsylvania, and has also entered the Intercollegiates at Cambridge on May 27-28.

The team has several fast half-milers, among whom are Campbell, who defeated Cutbill in the 1000-yard run at the Guaranty Games and whose work in the relay events has been the feature of the indoor season; F. W. Hilles and Siemens have both worked in the relay team all winter and were members of the cross-country team last fall, the latter being captain. Coxe and T. J. O'Brien, point winners in last year's meets will also enter the 440 and the mile. Captain H. S. Reed will be the best entry in the mile and two-mile for the team.

Three Good Hurdlers

Yale is not so strong in the sprints as in other events but Cowles and Sweetser each have a good record of consistent performances in the winter season. Three veterans of last year's team will contest the hurdles for Yale, of these T. P. Heffelfinger has the best record, but he is hard pressed by E. F. O'Brien and Shedden.

The hammer-throw and the shot-put will be taken care of by Acosta, the giant guard of the football team, and Jordan, halfback. In the pole-vault Gardner, who won the B. A. A. meet with a height of 12 feet, will give R. W. Harwood ocC. of the University a fight for his place. With a record of 6 feet 3 1-2 inches, made in the B. A. A. games, Landon will have things his own way in the high-jump as no mark dangerously near this has been established in collegiate circles this year.

The 1924 team will have three meets: those with Princeton 1924, Harvard 1924 and the Yale Interscholastics. The team will be well represented in the distances as indicated by the record of the championship cross-country team last fall. Douglas won the 1000-yard handicap race at the Brooklyn College games in 2 minutes and 19 seconds. Bush, Chapman and C. D. Hilles did excellent work last fall and are regarded as sure point winners in the spring meets. Hulman, who has made good time in the hurdles, will also enter the pole-vault and the broad-jump.
