TRACK WORK AT YALE.
It Began Yesterday Under the Direction
of Trailer COPELAND.

New Haven, Jan, 30.-In response to
Captain Fishers call for candidates for
the Yale track team, 1877 men presented
themselves this afternoon. This number
is considerably in advance of that for sew
eral years And the material, so far as
can be judged of the men before they get
out on the track, is encouraging.
Trainer Copeland's policy is another fac
tor in the seasons work that 1t is felt
will count for much and bring out an even
larger number after a week or two. He
told the men that he should not attempt
to make hard task Of the uninteresting
drudgery that accompanies long course
of training, but would in many ways make
it sport. The first work will be of a
sort calculated to strengthen them and
give them good wind and endurance of
muscle. To this end gymnasium work will
be required daily, and runs of gradually
Increased distances until the track is fit
for work.
Squad leaders for the running gangs"
of about forty men to a squad have been
appointed, and tomorrow the New Haven
public will again be edited by the sight
OF troops. of several sprinters coursing
through the streets.

WOOOFORO REBUKED.
Secretary Long Mr,ss Explanatory Letter
Abou, Supply Of Ammunition sefore ar

Washington, Jan. 30.-Secretary Long
has addressed a letter to Gen. Stewart
L. Woodford, enclosing a memoran-
dunn from Chief O'Ncil OF the bureau
of ordnance in reference to the report
ed speech of Gen. Woodford at the
Army and Navy club at New York on
Saturday evening lasJ in which ne is
quoted as saying: On Feb IS, 1898,
three days after the Maine was blown
up in Havana harbCr, NJ received in
formation by telegraph that this gov
eminent did not possess powder enough
to provide its warships and forts with
two rounds for each gun" Chief O'Neill
states that SO far as relates to the
navy, this ia an error, as every vessel
was practically oiled up with her al
lowance OF ammunition. The regula-
tons OF the department prescribe that
the reserve ammunition for guns Of
the main battery, except on monitors
and coast defense vessale, shall not be
allowed to fall below - rounds per gun
for 6-inch caiibra and above nor be-
low 30 rounds per gun for the rapid
fire guns" ana no vessel Of the navy
was reduced so low AS this. In add
ton TO the supply of ammunition af0at
the navy had d fair aEoGnt in reserve,
especially Of projectiles.
There were less rounds OF powder
per gun than Of shell. and for this rea-
son, by direction Of The secretary, an
emergency order was placed for powder
on Jan. 10, 1885, lust one month be-
fore the destruction Of the Maine. and
by the 18th Of February the navy de-
partment had about three quarters OF
a million pounds Of powder in reserve
and it was being turned out in large
quantities daily. Dewey's ships were
never reduced below the limit pre-
scribed by the department, and they
could have safely gone into action
without receiving further supply. The
vessels engaged expended only about
one-third OF their allowance
Chief O'Neill further says at no time
either before or during the war, can IL
be said that the navy was so short Of
ammunition shat 1t could not at any
time have carried on active operations.
In his letter TO Gen. Woodford, Secre-
tary Long says that the statements at
tributed to Gen. Woodford are so err
roneous that he cannot believe that
the general was correctly reported

BREVET RANK.
Col Shumway and LIST Lieut..
Warren They Are Now.

Cheering news to Worcester military
men came over the telegraph wires last
night, to the effect that two Worcester
men had been honored and their serv-
ices on the Cuban battlefields had been
recognized by the United States gov
eminent.
Lieut. Col. E. R. Shumway and Sec

English means that e. r. Shumway

Col E. P. Clark was breveted to the
next higher rank, which means a bri-
gadier generalship of the volunteer
army, and Major r. A. Whipple al
Adams becomes colonel.
Massachusetts volunteers were not
forgotten, and it will be a source of
considerable satisfaction to the Bay
State to learn of the action taken in
Washington yesterday by the brevet
board.
The recommendations will undoubt-
eddy be approved at once, and the
| lucky men will then receive notification
| that they have been honored
> Col. Shumway is so well known in
worcester that he needs no further in

QUICK WORK.
Sharkey Knocked Out His
Man in Two Rounds.

Philadelphia, Jan. 30.-Tom sharkey
put out Jack Mccormick of this city
in the second round of what was to
have been six-round go at the arena
tonight. The bout lasted as long as it
did probably because the sailor wanted
to give the great crowd present some
thing for their money.
In the second round, after a few ex-
changes had taken place, Sharkey put
in left upper cut, sent right and left
in turn to the jaw, and brought the
right up again to the same spot. Nc
Cormick went down and stayed the
limit. When he got 20 his feet again
Tom banged right in the stomach
and left on the jaw and the local man

THE |. A. A.
Radical Changes Are
Proposed.
FRESHMEN BaR2ED
From Participation AS Are
Short Course Specials.

New York, Jan. 30.-Gustavus T.
Kirby, chairman of the advisory com
mittee of the Intercollegiate Athletic
Association, today gave out changes
in the laws of the association, which
will be proposed for adoption at the
annual meeting OF the I. A. A., in this
city, Feb. "a.
Section of article II, which has to
do with eligibility for competition, has
been changed to read: mo one shall
represent any college or university as a
competitor at the annual field meet
ing, who has ever represented any
other college or university in any in
tercoliegiate year at the college or
university he represents, and has
passed an annual examination on a
full years work"
Section OF article II is likely ITO
cause furry among school boy ath-
letes. 1t reads; mo one shall rep
resent any college or university as a
competitor at the annual field meet
ing who. has won first second or third
place in any interscholastic or open
neid or track sports, until he shall have
resided one calendar year at the col
lege Or university he represents and
has passed an annual examination on
full years work"
Other changes make ineligible a stu
dent unless he is working for a degree
or taking special or partial course
tnat requires an amount of work sug-
gested by the college or university he
represents, as equivalent to the worl,
required of student for a degree, anC
also student who has been dropped
from his class into a lower class. OF
VINO, not being in good standing in one
department, has been transferred t.
another until he has completed one
calendar years work and passed salts.
Factory examination thereon OF
mas been permitted to regain the
class or department from which ht
! was dropped or transferred. Sometime
entirely new is embodied in the follow
| ing: THE president Of the association
Immediately after election shall an
/ point a faculty committee of four {
member being designated from its fac
ulty by each of the four universities O.
colleges making the highest scores il
point at the previous annual fiel,
meeting"
This faculty committee is to be
court Of final appeal in cases Of a dis
pute or of student taking exception
to a ruling. 1t is also suggested t
drop bicycle racing from the meet an
have cycling a separate and distinc
sport, substituting therefor a mile re
lay race.
Mr.. Kirby said that the amendmer
suggested by Harvard, that a studer
winning point at an meteorological
meet should not be eligible to compel
for any other college, in his opinion
was too severe, and that it probabl
would not be insisted upon by Harvar
in view of the other amendments.
