Although no one has been found to take the place of E. Hollister who was the central figure of last year's team, there are an unusually large number of men trying for the quarter and half mile runs. Next to Hollister, Vincent and Denholm will be missed in the quarter mile and the two dashes. The loss of F. Shaw in the hammer throw will also be felt...
...Freshmen, are both good men. Ellis has been trying for several events and has made fine performances in each, but he will probably be kept for the weight events, in which the team has been very weak for a number of years. Mills holds the interscholastic record for the mile run.

...mile walkers are merely doing staying up work at present, as this event is not to be held in the Yale games. The men who are trying are S. L. Munson 1900 and A. E. Wright '99 of last year's team, and E. T. Gundlach '98 and G. O. Thatcher...
