HAS SEVERAL OF THE OLD RECORD
BREAKERS WHO WILL COM-
PETE THIS YEAR.
THE TRACK TEAM.
A QUADRANGULAR MEET
May Be Arranged for This Year- Two Indoor Meetings Are Planned.
Manager Gray and Captain Cates of the track team have begun to get their men out for both the indoor and field meets.
During the fine weather of the last two weeks a number of the runners both sprinter- and long distance men, have been climbing up, and the work for the indoor meet has been actively going on in the gymnasium.
Many of the last year's winners in both meets are here this year and will make up a team which should win laurels for itself.
Moulton, the crack spinner who made the 100 yard dash in $93\%$ last spring, will be out again this year and will uphold the reputation of the University on the sprints. He will have several good men in the same events this year. Smith, who furnished second last year, and Sawtell, who proved such a competent all-around man, will be the chief competitors, but there were several men who showed remarkably good form on their class teams last year, and there may be some surprise in that line. Beeman will enter for the shot and ham mer, and Avery will probably go into training for these events. Alexander who had has held the record for high jump is gone, but Tobey is expected to surpass his record. There are more long distance men this year than usual. Among them are Gavin, who won the race last year, Wilder, the present holder of the state record, and probably Owen, who won in the local meet two years ago. Captain Cates will go in for the hurdles and the broad jump and others will show up later.
Emery, Beeman, Pulver and Gray have been training some new men in tumbling and will get up a good exhibition in that line. It is intended to have two indoor meets this year, one to consist principally of exhibition gymnasium work and the other of the_regular indoor events.
Missouri wants a track meet with us this year at Kansas City and this may be extended to include Nebraska and Doane. All of these have good track teams and such a meet would be of great interest. In addition to the local meet, our regular annual meet with Nebraska will be held here so that track enthusiasts here will have a chance to see some good work done at home.
College Clubs
Among eastern colleges great importance is attached to general college clubs. At Princeton Wbig and Clio 'Halls' practically divide the student body between them; and constitute, together, the great source of college fellowship and enthusiasm. The Houston Club at Pennsylvania, performs, similar functions. It has been of great value, says the Pennsylvanian, in fostering a spirit of fellowship before unknown in Pennsylvania. Here men from all the schools come together, and there has grown up a spirit and university feeling of loyalty before unknown. The need of such a club a Harvard has long been recognized; and of late a strong movement has been started for the erection of a University club of a broad democratic kind; a donatarium of $150.000 has made the carrying out of the long contemplated plan sure.
Yale, too, has of late keenly felt the need of some organization to hold together in a close college democracy, the undergraduates in its various departments—some center of a common Yale life, other than the famous Fences. The Yale News says this may safely be termed Yale's greatest need, from the under graduate point of view, and the Alumni Weekly joins it in emphasizing the necessity of taking steps
