None the oston Athletic association meet, memorable race, losing to Dave Cald- well by only two vards and leaving Tom Halpin, of the Boston club, and Higgins, of Holy Cross, in the Truck. A runner, not wholly in condition, Who can perform as Meredith did in Boston surely gives grounds for the impression that he has yet a long way to go before he meets that toboggan which awaits all great athltes. Yet Arthur Duffy, of the Boston Herald, the greatest of all sprinters in his col- legiate days at Georgetown, thinks that the Quaker is beginning to slip. “It would not be surprising.” he writes, if the work that Meredith has been doing for Penn is beginning to tell on him. Since Meredith has been run- ning for the Red and Blue he has been competing in quarter and balf-mile contests, not only in the different dual meets, but in the intercollegiates as well. When “Ted” flashed a double winner in the quarter and half at the intercollegiates last spring one old- time trainer remarked: ‘A wonderful performance, but is sure to have its effect on this great runner later. " Other followers of the track who ‘witnessed . his desperate. struggle against Culdwell do not follow Mr. Dufty in this opinion. Meredith, they say, is still a matchless athlete, who with a little more training will be striding along in unbeatadle stvle. Howard Valentine thinks that within a month Meredith will be showing “the greatest form ever seen in an American runner.” TRINITY DROPPEC FROM WESLEYAN'S SCHEDULE Owing to Eligibility Rules—Season Opens With Connecticut Aggies.
