race. waited until the other racers had
spent their final effort, then took the
lead, and left his fields as tho they
had stopped skating.
1t is the belieg of many who have
seen Wood race that he is without an
equal III his class. He has met and
defeated all the amateurs who believed
they could skate fast enough to gain
mpionship honors. Three weeks
ago in the races at Verona Lake, N.
j., for the United States Skating
championships, outdoors. Wood won
all three events.
Not content with his performance at
Verona, Wood last Saturday estab-
lished new figures for five miles in
doors. In the Duquesne Gardens
rink, in competition, Wood skated five
miles in the remarkable time Of fifteen
minutes IA 3-5 seconds beating by one
minute AZ 2-5 seconds his outdoor per-
Torrance at Verona.
Last Friday the amateur champion
broke the best record Of Johnny Nils
son, champion Of the world at one
mile, by As Of a second, skating a
mile in 2 minutes 41-15 seconds.
J Many Of those who saw Wood in his
races at Verona--and he was not re-
quired to extend himself to win
openly declared they thought the
champion was able to defeat Johnny
Nilsson if it were possible for him to
skate against the professional.

BIG TRACK TEAM SQUAD
PLENTY OF MEN OUT AT VAR
STTY, BUT FACILITIES FOR
TRAINING VERY POOR.

Tho the largest track squad seen at
Minnesota in recent years Is at work
under DR.. Williams, the outlook for
track athletics is not very encourag-
ing. About twenty men turn out for
practice every night, among them all
of last years team with the exception
Of Bockman, but owing to the fact
that there is no regular running track
in the armory their work has con-
sisted chiefly Of calisthenics and short
spirits over the bare floor. The dis
lance men are the ones most handi-
capped by this state of affairs, and un-
less an early spring permits out Of
door training, there is small chance
that Minnesota will make a showing
in the longer runs.
In the weights the chances are good,
with Thorpe, Pattee, Mattson and Big
Smith in the game. Pierce, the, pole
vaulter of the '02 team, is back in COL
lege. and will brace up the team in
this department. Hasbrook and Ost-
Wig OF last years team are out for the
hurdles. Captain Haroldson, Rob-
ertson, Kelley and Crossette are train
ing for the quarter, and Murphy,
Haroldson and Greeves for the half.
AS yet no tWO-milers have shown up.
Twidt and Hasbrook are entered for
the high jump. There is considerable
promising freshmen material in sight,
but the present conditions do not give
any chance for new man to show his
mettle.
SO far nothing has been done
toward arranging meets, and it is not
| probable that anything will be done
till the quality Of the team is better
| known. If the board of athletic con-
| troll decides to put in a banked track
in the armory, an indoor meet will be
| held some time in March. Such a
track would also solve the problem of
indoor training, but no action has yet
| been taken in the matter.

He RESIGNS HIS SEAT
DENVER CONGRESSMAN STEPS
OUT IN FAVOR OF MAN WHO
CONTESTED HIS ELECTION.

washington, Feb. 15.-Representa-
tive Shafroth from a Denver, Col,
district, voluntarily relinquished his
seat In the house at the converting of
that body to-day. He spoke of the
contest for his seat by Robert w.
Bonynge and declared the examina-
ton Of ballots had revealed fraud in
Twenty-Five precincts. If he was a
judge on the bench, he added, he
would have to find against himself and
so he invited the elections committee
to- present a resolution seating
Bonynge.
The speech caused long applause
on both sides of the house. Chairman
Olmstead, of the elections committee
considering the case, paid a high trib-
ute to Mr.. Shafroth, saying that the
frauds in the election were not charge
able In any way to Mr.. Shafroth.
The house then unanimously agreed
to a resolution declaring r. w.
Bonynge entitled to the seat.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Feb. 15.-Re-
garding the protest of the principals
Of Chicago high schools over the ad-
mission to college athletic teams Of
students deficient in school work, rad
ical action will be taken by the Uni
versity of Michigan.
The circular letter has been placed
in the hands of Professor Pattengill,
chairman Of the board Of control, but
he has been unable to secure q board
meeting, owing to examination work.
In few days, however, a meeting will
be called. One of the professors said:
'Michigan will go even further than
is expected and will bar any freshman
from athletics who has a single en-
trance condition and who has not a.
complete number Of units for en-
trance, until his scholarship record Is
without a blemish.'

the Russo-Japanese war. Connors is
said to have likened McDonough to

fashionable congregation to shudder
and had visibly affected all who
heard it.
Women in the congregation
trembled with horror. AS the story
drew to conclusion there was a stir
in the rear of the church. Miss Wills,

Ann Arbor, Mich, Feb. 15.-Michi-,
gan fears now that YOst's football
team will be left out in the cold next
fall. without a game after the Chicago
contest on Nov. 15.-It has developed
that several weeks ago, when Mr..
Baird visited the east, both Harvard
and Yale positively refused to play.
Princeton, it is said, has no game
scheduled after Nov. Is, and yet has
hesitated SO long about taking on
Michigan that now there is little hope
for contest between the two. Co.
lumbia will not play Michigan unless
her schedule happens to come out just
right. The whole eastern project so
far has been a poor lottery. Mean
while, Michigan's old friends in the
west have been making up to each
other in way that shuts out the VOL
verines. Chicago and Wisconsin will
meet early in the year, and Minnesota
and Northwestern have arranged their
only Illinois and Iowa are left.
Tho eastern negotiations are not
closed, they have dragged far enough
to decide some of the Michigan au-
thorties against ever straying SO far
away from home again.
1t is quite possible that If Columbia
and Princeton refuse, Michigan will
eastern teams offer. There is pride
about the university which will pre-
vent any such thing as second rate"
opponents at the close Of the season.
