TRACK PROSPECTS FAIR

Now a final word on the track prospects. Coach Harry Hillman passed up a spring trip since he felt that he could prepare his skeleton forces better on home soil. Two dual meets face the Indians spikesters this spring, the first with Harvard here on May 4 (if possible) and the second with Holy Cross here on May 11. Harvard will be over the Green's head in balance, but the Crusaders should be an even match. Some day soon we hope to write a piece of some length on track, its possible future, its present decline, etc.; for it is apparent to anyone that track is lagging slowly but surely in interest here at Dartmouth. There is no more capable coach of track and field than Harry Hillman. His material gets sadder and sadder. Track men with ability are few, and this year the backbone of a good team dropped to the wayside on scholastic probation. It is a perplexing situation, no doubt, and one that needs elbow room for discussion. A year ago the track team thought that lack of publicity was the main cause for lack of interest. What the track men failed to realize was that there has to be a demand for track articles before it is possible to give track its proper place in the Dartmouth athletic family. It may be that we shall ask Harry Hillman to write his opinion on this whole matter in some future MAGAZINE, for we recognize that the subject has been neglected too long.
