    Arnold, Stapler and Plank, but the last may hurdle,.instead. In
regards to the 220 yards dash, nothing can as yet be said. The
100 yard dash will be with'Newton and Hornbaker. The former
promises to be a io 1 / 5 man, and the latter also holds' the hurdle
records at State now. From- his appearance this spring, his old
record will again be broken. It is 15V 5 flat, and as the World’s

W. and J. at Shenley Park, Pittsburg, May 28th.
The Indians at Carlisle, May 14th.
Lehigh (cancelled ).
Indians at State, commencement.

even then able to hold his position' and make up part of that lost
by his predecessor. J. Kaiser rail last, but as he was so far back
that it would have been impossible to have gained any lost posi
tions simply ran to hold his own. The team ran well considering
that there were two new men and that Oniel had been spiked,
while some of the competing teams have run for three years, and
been running indoor races all winter.
Nevertheless, when the team gets together, with a few weeks
