Coach Martin gave the entire track squad a mid-week rest yesterday afternoon to put the team in good condition for the B. A. A. games Saturday.

...University race was over a distance of two miles, each man running 780 yards. W. F. Eaton '22, lead-off man for the Crimson, had the pole. At the start he sprang into the lead over W. B.
