Not only will Kirby face an un-
usually strong field, but the frail
Ithacan will go to the mark with the
handicap of having been idle most of
the time since the last outdoor sea-
son. Due to illness he was kept out
of the indoor intercollegiates and most
of his team's board meets, while in
one of his few starts he was beaten
by John Watters, of Harvard, in a tri-
angular meet at Boston.
Chief among Kirby's rivals will be
SchuylerIgnck, of Penn State, the in-
door mile champion and world's record
holder at 800 metres, but Watters,
Thomas Cavanaugh, of Boston College,
and Hobart Betts, of Princeton, also
loom as strong candidates. The latter
three are sophomores, with Watters
holding forth unusual promise as a
distance star. Together with Ml
Douglass, Yale captain, William El-
liott, of Stanford, and Jack Ross, of
University of California, they complete
a field that promises to push the vic-
tor to close to record time.
The only 1923 ppints sorers on this
list are Kirby and Dou1as, wdTiin-
ished third. The Cornellian's victory
in 4:17 4-5 was one of the most bril-
liant college performances of the year,
proof of which is that it marked the
seventh time that 4:19 had been beat-
en in the 47 championship races since
1876.
It was not until 1909 that the mile
record was put below that level by W.
C. Paull, of Pennsylvania, who was
clocked in the same time as Kirby.
John Paul Jones, greatest of all Cor-
nell distance stars, ushered in a. rec-
ord-shattering streak in 1911, lowering
the time that year to 4:15 2 an,. in

commenting on the work done Sullie
says that the spring cross country
training class is a valuable institu-
tion to the Varsity hitll and dale
coaches and to the men that particip-
ate. Since the custom of out-of-
season training for cross country was
inaugurated at Michigan, there has
always been at least several men from.
