There are, however, several prominent additions to the team this year, first of whom may be mentioned A. W. Robinson 1901. He is a candidate for the 100 yards dash, which event he won in the National Interscholastic Games last year, defeating Duffy and Kane of the English High School...
...Ellis and E. W. Mills, also 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. Last year he strained a tendon in his leg and owing to this he has been unable to do any apeed work as yet, but it is hoped that he will be able to take part in the games this spring...
...five sprints the members of last year's team who are out this year are: F. H. Bigelow '98, L. W. Redpath '98, J. T. Roche, Jr., '99, H. E. Shore '99, and J. S. Dunstan 1900. Roche, who strained a tendon in his leg in the dual games with the U. of P., is probably the fastest 100 yards man who has ever been in college. He has done no speed work since last year but hopes to be in good shape again this spring. Redpath should run well this year, but the care of the team will probably...
...Grant M. S., is the old stand by in the mile run, but the addition of E. W. Mills makes that event stronger than last year. Grant and Starbuck are still in, and O. W. Richardson '99, S. F. Rockwell 1900, and H. B. Clark 1901, are doing well in practice...
...hurdles are the stronghold of the team this year. W. F. Garcelon L. S. '95, has had charge of the candidates for these events and thus far has greatly improved their form. In the high hurdles, F. B. Fox 2L and J. W. Hallowell 1901, are the fastest. Fox ran second in the intercollegiate games last year, while Hallowell is the interscholastic champion. In addition to these men, G. A. Cole '99, R. R. Rumery '99, C. H. Whitney 1901, C. S. Tilden '98, M. S. Savage '99, and R. McKittrick '99, are all improving rapidly. There is an equally...
