CUPS FOR YALE ATHLETES.
Effort to Increase Interest in Indoor
Work.

New Haven. Conn. Nov. &c To in
crease the interest in the indoor track
work Of Yale University. Charles Coke,
former shot putter and hammer
thrower of that college. has given Al
cups to DC contested for in q series Of
events which will includ" practically
all the contests. which arc run off
throughout an indoor sceason. These
events arc open to all the men of the
university, whether they have won
their "Y" or not, and as they are to
be handicap affairs the competition
will be closer than would otherwise be
the case.
This is done in an endeayor to bring
out mon who otherwise might refrain
from entering the sports, and in this
way it is hoped that some good ma
teri;.i for the track team will be found.
ThiTty-six of these bronze cups are
known as the Wiliisbrooke cups AMI
will be awarded to three men in each
event scoring the largest number OF
points in these events for a series of
rot less than three competitions. The
points will be figured on a percentage
basis and the handicap will be rear
ranged after each competition. This
will he done in order that any i'm
provemeht in the speed or form of the
contestants may be perceived.
The indoor track season Will open
Immediately after the Christmas Holt
days. anG at the same time the COM
petition for the cups will begin. Last
year Mr.. Coke gave "a cups, but these
were restricted to Freshmen cOmpeti-
ton. This year. however, it has been
decided that it will be greater help
to the Varsity track team to have the
cup events open to the entire under
graduate body The other five cups
which have been presented will be
awarded to the winners of the next
five paper chases of the cross-country
