squad is complete including the names of those who are coming out this week if any have been omitted it is their duty to come out and re port to dr davis and captain klar and they will see that they

condition on the day of the meet track team team indications point to a winning the prospects for a winning track team this year grow brighter as the days grow longer in fact this spring there is more reason for making prophecies in regard to the brilliant work that may be expected from the team in its meets than there has been for sev eral years and all this in spite of the fact that a large part of some of the best men in last year's team are not out at all this spring before easter the outlook was not bright at all but since then men have^been doing regular work and the situation has gradually changed so that now it is all that could be desired the credit for much of this improvement should be given to dr davis ; he has worked hard and faithfully at getting men to come out and try for the team and coaching them in their work after they started every afternoon a squad of twenty or more reports on the athletic field and they go through the various track and field events ; some of the men who expect to try for the team have been unable to report regularly so far and so this number will prob ably be increased still more within the next week the work has been mostly of a preliminary character and only within the last day or so have the men attempted to try themselves out at all
