Richards kept out of football last fall and has been resting all winter; it is hoped that he can get back his old-time speed of 1893. Certain it is that Yale has been in sad want of a winning sprinter during the past year. Besides the dashes, Captain Hickok is the most in need of men in the half-mile run and mile walk.
