TRACK SQUAD SHOWS PROGRESS

May Enter Team in Marathon Relay Race on Patriots' Day.

The last few days have seen a considerable change for the better in the track situation. The interest shown has steadily increased and while many more candidates are needed, the deficiency is not so serious as it seemed at first. One upperclassman has reported for the pole-vault and more are expected. High hurdle work and broad jump practice have begun.

A meeting of the distance runners will be held in a few days to decide definitely as to whether or not the University R. O. T. C. will enter a team in the Patriot's Day marathon relay race. There have been some objections to such a step from members of the track team on the ground that the race comes during vacation. It is probable that the team will enter, however, as it will not be necessary for the men to remain at Cambridge all the week. It is planned to have them merely keep in condition by daily jogs and return to the University Thursday instead of the following Sunday, thus arriving in time for the long run on Friday.
