ereas Baltazzi makes the leap with his body practically
perpendicular, although he necessarily bends forward in the motion which
lifts the torso over the stick. Fearing's form as displayed in this
photograph does not give the same idea of power and assurance as that
shown by Baltazzi.

The prospects for record-breaking in the N.Y.I.S.A.A. next year are not
very bright, for most of the record-breakers are leaving school. Besides
Baltazzi, Tappin, the mile runner of Cutler's winning team, will go to
Columbia. Yale will get Meehan, who is a clever half-miler, Ayres, the
hammer-and-shot man of Condon's, Powell, the bicyclist, and Hackett, the
mile walker. The first three in this last group hold United States
interscholastic records in their events. Princeton's track team will no
doubt secure three of Barnard's best athletes, Syme, Simpson, and Moore,
whereas Harvard will only get one good man from the N.Y.I.S.A.A.,
Irwin-Martin. Cowperthwaite, broad jumper, and Beers, who holds the high
hurdling record, will also leave school for college. This will make room
for new men, and ought to be a good thing for the association.

A correspondent suggests that the schools of New York--and I don't see
why it would not be just as good an idea for schools of other
cities--hold an interscholastic bicycle meet this fall. At first thought
this sounds like a very good scheme. There are few scholars,
comparatively, who are strong enough, or who have the inclination to
play football, and now that use of the bicycle has become so universal
these could devote the fall season to preparation for a bicycle contest.
Far be it from my intention to suggest to even the weakest
football-player that he give up the gridiron for the bicycle; but I have
seen so many young men standing around football fields watching the
game, with no ability or desire to participate in it, that I welcome the
suggestion of making the autumn a bicycle season too.

It is very probable that the inter-collegiate association will do away
with bicycles at the Mott Haven games next spring. If they do, the
interscholastic associations will no doubt follow suit, and then the
wheelmen will find themselves, to a certain extent, out of it, if they
have not already prepared for separate contests. It is right that
bicycle events should be excluded from track and field meetings, because
a running track is not the proper place for a bicycle race. Bicycle
races, however, ought not to be g
