There are now 230 men in training for Harvard's track team.
Of these, thirty-seven were on the team last year and took part
in either the Yale-Harvard games or the Intercollegiate games at
New York.
A new departure is likely to be made in Harvard football next
fall. The eleven will line tip for actual play but three times a
week, alternate days being given to some light form of exercise
as different from actual football as can be devised.
The University of Chicago will send a team east this spring.
Arrangements are being made for games with Yale, Princeton,
Harvard, Brown, Pennsylvania, Cornell and Orange Athletic
Club. The trip will be made in the latter part of May.
Cornell has but three of last year's ball team who are eligible
to play this year. Smith and Priest, both star pitchers, are
in the University, but it is said that they will be disqualified by
the faculty for having played on amateur teams for money last
summer during vacation.
