With the opening of the track season but a short time away, candidates for the Cornell track team are reporting in increasing numbers to Coach Jack Moakley. At first there was a marked scarcity of men in the sprints, weights and hurdles, but a vigorous appeal from the management brought fourth a large number of new men.
