‘FROSH’ TRACK MEN BEGIN LIMBERING UP
Program of Cinder Path Engagements Arranged With the City High Schools
Beginning with a contest with the Hollywood high school track performers on Friday, Jan. 26, the freshman track aspirants will enter upon a three weeks’ program of cinder path engagements with the city high schools. On the following Friday, Feb. 2, they will take on the Polytechnic high school team, and a week later will meet the Manual Arts squad. The meet with Hollywood is to take place on the Foothillers field. The location of the other clashes will be announced at a later date.
Coach Dean Cromwell has arranged this tentative schedule for the first year men in order to get a large number of them started at a preliminary training immediately. Some of the more industrious “frosh” have already started to limber, by jogging around among the piles of boards on Bovard “Lumber Yard.” As the first two weeks of training are generally given over to this sort of work anyway, the coach sees no reason why the practice should be held up by the work of constructing the new athletic field.

M. building at Seventh and Hope streets from 5 until 8:30 p. m., on Wednesday, Jan. 18.

At 7:00 sharp hungry Trojans, with their famished supporters, will assemble around the training table and proceed to gorge themselves. At 7:45, provided everybody has had enough to eat, and the assembled populace being willing, Captain Jones will take bis last fling at the men he has led through many a battle. Then Captain-elect “Rabbit” Malette will dodge a few' remarks here and there. Frankie will have a good enthusiastic subject if he is called upon for “Next Year’s Prospects.”
Coach Dean Cromwell and Prof. 'Fully C. Knojes are slated to talk in between halves. At 8:05 moving pictures will be shown. The exact nature of this stunt is not known. At 8:30 the party breaks up in time to go home to study.
The management announces that the plates for the banquet this year will be 75 cents to all other than Varsity men. All additional features will be free to all. Tickets can be purchased from \V. Wilson, varsity center, and chairman of the social committee, K. Jayne, and B. Oertley.
