TRACK AND CROSS COUNTRY

The undivided attention of Professor Hillman, except for his duties as director of recreational activities, will be given this year to track and cross country. Relieved from his duties as trainer of other teams at his request and furnished with outdoor facilities far superior to any hitherto existing, the preliminary possibilities during this fall season will be developed as never before

We expect the usual indoor schedule. The outdoor schedule will be ushered in with a dual meet with Pennsylvania early in May, a dedication as it were of a new track; A dual meet at West Point is a possibility, and there will be the usual participation in the Intercollegiates.

Our loss of track material is most severe The graduation of E. J. Thomson from the squad means the departure of the most outstanding figure of all time in track athletics at Dartmouth, whose performances at various events stamp him as the preeminent college track athlete of the present generation. Gone also are the point winners of late Intercollegiate meets, Shelburne, Weld, and Jordan, and as the nucleus of the future varsity team there remains only Captain Brown with a handful of men whose letters were earned in dual or triangular contests.

The squads now enrolled for varsity and freshman cross country are the largest which have ever appeared at Hanover New courses have been laid out, and it is expected that this sport will be pushed as an aid to a development of long distance running. Our schedules will call for a meeting at Syracuse with several other institutions.; at New York with Columbia, Cornell and Pennsylvania and will include the end-of-the-season Intercollegiates.
