THE TRACK WORK.

At the Yale Field-ZeaI and Activity the order of the Day-The New Training Quarters This Years Team-Professor Peck Explains the Conditions of the l.. F. Robinson Latin Prizes.
 The track work at the field has con- menced this year under better auspices than ever before. The establishment of the annual games between Harvard and Yale for the cup donated by the alumni of the two universities has had it's effect in the increased stimulus given to track athletics, especially here at Yale. One of the principal obstacles of the Athletic as- sociation heretofore has been the lack of proper training quarters. This has been obviated this year by the new building now in process of erection; which will probably be ready in the course of a week or so, as the contract calls for October 3. It will have series of lockers, hot and cold showers, reception and dressing rooms and all the modern appliances necessary to make up commodious and comfortable training house.
 The team this year will be trained by "Willie" Dole, the well-known ex-ath1ete of this city, who will have complete con- trol of the team during the year. This is a marked and needed Improvement on for | mer years, when the team was under the | care of regular trainer only during the | fall and spring. Most of the old men will be back this year, while there are many promising candidates among the seventy | freshmen now in training. Perhaps the l most prominent are Allen of the Berkeley | school, who is credited with having done | the 100 in 10 1-5 seconds, and Sanford ot the Hillhouse high school, now playing center on the varsity eleven, who has done the quarter under 52 seconds. The track has been entirely renovated and the home stretch extended so as to give 220 straight away Cexe of 'S7, the noted hammer thrower and football player, was up Satur day to coach the team and expressed grea satisfaction with this years prospects. liar yard, according to Jim Lathrop, theil trainer, has nearly 400 men in more or lesI active training for track athletics. The football game Saturday with th' we'll known Crescent Athletic club, result ing in score of 26 to o in favor of Yale, ii encouraging. Yale's team was largel, made up of raw material, six new mel 1 playing, but the interfering and tacklin, for so early in the season were remarkabl, good. On the disabled list so far ar Mills, the right tackle, who has sprainet ankle; Heff1einger, the giant guard, ha had slight attack of fever, but was ou at the field yesterday coaching the team McClung and Sutphen, a likely young can didate for end, are both slightly injured Yale men are jubilant over prospectiv | victory against Princeton, the latter team is one of the weakest she has ever pu in the field, only scoring 12 on Saturda against Rutgers.
