COLLEGE ATHLETICS. 



149 



come together on a fair agreement all will be 

 well. Cornell has in the past shown herself 

 perfectly sportsmanlike in every position in 

 which she has been placed, and will no 

 doubt again pursue the same course. This 

 time Yale should make the concessions. Mr. 

 Courtney is right. On 2 different courses, 

 within 2 weeks, no crew should row 2 races. 



TRACK TEAMS FOR '99. 



The 2 colleges where the training for the 

 track team work seems to have been most 

 thoroughly taken up this year, are Harvard 

 and the University of Pennsylvania. Yale 

 is working hard, but the old time dash and 

 vim seem to be lacking in the preliminary 

 training. 



At Harvard the candidates for the team 

 began training in the gymnasium about the 

 middle of January. The team will be weak- 

 ened this year by the loss of J. S. Bremer, 

 in the hurdles; A. W. Robinson, F. H. 

 Bigelow, and L. W. Redpath, in the sprints; 



D. Grant, in the mile; and J. G. Clark, in 

 the broad jump. Still the fall work has 

 developed several promising new men. 

 These are H. J. Brown, '02, and LeR. F. 

 Spear, '02, in the weight events; A. M. 

 Butler, '02, in the dashes; J. H. Converse, 

 '02, in the hurdles; and G. W. Mathews, 

 iL., in the distance runs. Beside these, T. 



E. Burke, in the half mile, and E. H. Clark 

 in the weights, who were ineligible, and J. F. 

 Dunham in the dashes — who was laid off on 

 account of injuries, last year, will be able to 

 compete this season. Of last year's men who 

 won points in either the dual games with 

 Yale, or the Mott Haven games, W. W. 

 Hoyt, F. B. Fox, J. W. Hallowell, H. H. 

 Fish, C. D. Draper, S. H. Bush, E. J. 

 Green, W. G. Morse, A. U. Rice, S. G. El- 

 lis, A. L. Nickerson, W. D. Hennen, H. 

 B. Clark, and S. F. Mills are eligible again 

 this year. The most promising men in the 

 different events are: 



120 yard hurdles — F. B. Fox and J. W. 

 Hallowell. 



440 yard run — T. E. Burke and H. H. 

 Fish. 



880 yard run — C. D. Draper, S. H. Bush 

 and M. D. Whitman. 



One mile and 2 mile runs — H. B. Clark, 

 G. W. Mathews, E. W. Mills, O. W. Rich- 

 ardson and A. W. Foote. 



Dashes — E. J. Green, J. F. Quinlan, D. 

 G. Harris, C. D. Daly and A. M. Butler. 



220 yards hurdles — W. G. Morse, J. B. 

 Rorer, L. Warren, R. McKittrick and J. H. 

 Converse. 



High jump— A. N. Rice, W. G. Morse, 

 S. G. Ellis, R. A. Ferguson and C. M. 

 Rotch. 



Broad jump — A. L. Nickerson, C. S. Ed- 

 gell, A. N. Sheldon and W. G. Morse. 



Weights— E. H. Clark, W. D. Hennen, 

 S. G. Ellis. S. F. Mills, P. M. Jaffray, W. A. 

 Boal. H. J. Brown, LeR. F. Spear and E. 

 H. Kendall. 



Pole vault— W. W. Hoyt. 



The pole vault is the only event in which 

 there is not a good second man. 



Pennsylvania's friends do not seem to be 

 particularly happy over her chances for 

 again carrying off this season the champion- 

 ship in track athletics. Of last year's cham- 

 pionship team Fetterman, Remington, 

 Winsor, Hoffmann and McKibben, who 

 won 14 of Pennsylvania's points, with 

 others who showed promise of future devel- 

 opment have left college. The captain and 

 Trainer Murphy are making every effort to 

 develop the material on hand, and bring out 

 the new men, and though the outlook may 

 not be as bright as that of last year Penn- 

 sylvania will probably render a good ac- 

 count of herself. 



The teams of both Yale and Princeton are 

 stronger than those of last year, and when 

 the count of points is made at the intercol- 

 legiate games the scores of Eli and Nassau 

 will cut more of a figure than they did last 

 year. 



Taking all the teams as they now stand 

 Harvard has the best chance of carrying off 

 the honors. She has more fast men, and 

 better new material than all the other col- 

 leges put together. The athletic pick of 

 all the schools in the country went to her 

 last fall, and she will undoubtedly make hay 

 while the sun shines. 



AN IMPORTANT MEETING. 



The second annual meeting of the So- 

 ciety of College Gymnasium Directors was 

 held in the latter part of December, in the 

 rooms of the director, Dr. W. L. Savage, of 

 the Columbia University Gymnasium. 



Among the medical directors present, 

 from the prominent colleges, were: Dr. J. 

 W. Seaver, of Yale, the president; Dr. W. 

 L. Savage, Columbia, secretary-treasurer; 

 Dr. D. A. Sargent, Harvard; Dr. William 

 G. Anderson, Yale; Dr. F. H. Cann, New 

 York University; Professor George Goldie, 

 Princeton; Dr. W. A. Lembeth, University 

 of West Virginia; Dr Frederick W Marvil, 

 Wesleyan; Dr. J. B. Crenshaw, Johns Hop- 

 kins, Dr. R. T. McKenzie, McGill Uni- 

 versity j Montreal; and Dr. M. A. Mosher, 

 matron of the Young Women's Depart- 

 ment, University of Michigan. 



Dr. W. G. Anderson of Yale, read a paper 

 on "Some Tangible Results of Gymnastics," 

 and showed in detail a number of experi- 

 ments he made during the year of the ac- 

 tual results of physical training. In experi- 

 menting to see what difference would be 

 caused by developing one hand, and letting 

 the other go, Dr. Anderson found that in a 

 large number of cases the left hand showed 

 greater strength than the right by actual 

 tests, after the latter had been exercised 

 alone. In the same way the development 

 of muscles in one side of the body, by ex- 

 ercise entirely on that side, was found to 

 have been followed by a development of the
