W.A. Schick, Jr., '05 was yesterday unanimously elected captain of the University track team for next year.
Schick prepared at Andover, where in 1901 he was captain of the track team. For three successive years he has won the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes in the dual meets with Yale, and in 1902 he established the dual record of 9 4-5 seconds in the 100-yard dash and of 21 3-5 seconds in the 220-yard dash. In his Freshman year he was second in the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes in the intercollegiate meet, though afterward disqualified. Last year he was third in both events, and this year he won both, making a Harvard record of 21 2-5 seconds in the 220-yard dash. He holds the world's record of 7 1-5 seconds in the 70-yard dash, made in the Columbia indoor track games in New York last year.
