Want Training Table.

There is intense diSsatls faction among
the foot ball teams of the middle west
ern conference" colleges over the re-
fusa, of this organization to indOrse the
training table. University of Cn1cago
men have double grievance because they
have been put on vegetarian dlet, Whlch
is the latest hobby OF Coach Stagg. The
abolition OF the training table mas un-
uouDtedly been a real hardship for the
athletes, especially for the foot ball men,
who must have great powers of endur-
ance. Some OF the western advocates Of
the training table nave even gone so
tar as to declare that its abolition has
ruined the prestige of the western teams.
OF course, as long the western col
leges play oniy their immediate neigh
bors, who observe the same rules. one
team does not suffer any more than an
other. 1t will be recalled that last fall
the Michigan team claimed that much of
it's ineffectiveness had been due to the
lack of a training table. This year Mich
igan is not member of the conference,
and. as the Wolverines now have their
training table, they cannon give this as
an excuse. There is developing al
through the west sentiment against the
abolition of the training table. and it is
certain that strong Influence viii be
brought to bear on the conference Off
cials at their next meeting to rescind this
particular rule,

ON BOARD THE SCHOONER
Captain Unable to account for the
Disaster.

Watch Hill, r. L. Feb. 12-In describing his
experiences Captain Frank T Haley OF the
Harry Knowton said to-day that the Knowlton
rammed the LarchmOnt the port side about
a quarter way from the bow The blow carried
away the schooners jibboom and bowsprit and
all her forward rigging. opening up the ships
seams and making great hole forward,
through which the water rushed. Hard work
at the pumps alone saved the lives of the crew
OF the vessel. Captain Haley and his six men
all took hand at the work until the schooner
touched bottom and the time came TO launch
the ships boat in which they were able to reach
the shore near the Quonochontaug lifesavng
station, where they cared for
Captain Haley was without knowledge Of the
damage TO the Larchmont, which, as soon as
the two boats had cleared after the collision
appeared to continue her way TO the west
ward and Captain Haley and his men did not
remember Of hearing any calls for assistance

o,ga ved il, keeping their own vessel afoat that
they had little or no time 10 watch the t1arch-
mont. or figure out the extent to which she had
been damaged or the fate Of those on board
of her.
"T never shall quite understand how this acct
dent occurred" said Captain Haley. The night
was dark but starry and It was not thick we
left New York yesterday with a cargo of coal,
bound for Boston and were making fair prog
ress through the Sound. A long time before the
accident happened we had sighted the Larch-
mont as she steamed steadily to the westward.
All her lights were seen. Some Of the crew
were on deck while, and spoke Of the
picture that the Larchmont made all lighted up.
Then we saw that the steamer seemed TO he
heading directly for us. | remembered that
looked up al our lights which we're burning all
right and of course I expected that the steamer
would look out for us But she kept right on.
Some of us shouted a warning. and one member
Of the crew blew a horn constantly. I scarcely
knew what to do. l did not dare attempt to
tack to clear the path of the steamer, because
thought she would turn out for When
she was right ahead Of. us. there nothing
for us TO do but hit her. The blow was q very
bad l thought we were going down at
once. az the schooner shivered and then reeIed
backward with the bowspTtt. the JibbOom ana
the rigging forward carried away The water
rushed in at once. The steamer lurched badly
to starboard when struck her, and then she
continued on her way. She did not seem to be
badly damaged"
car ain Haley then told the experiences Of
himself and crew IN working HIS vessel shore
ward. with water in the hold FIVE feet deep
and gaining. the work OF manning tho pumps
was exceedingly difficult. the water surged
about the all the time. Finally II was de-
cided to abandon the vessel. and after Selling a
few Of their personal effects all hands took to
the boat which was launched. Eventually all
reached the shore safely, about seven miles be-
low Watch Hill.
The time Of the collision is fixed by Captain
Haley as 1O45 .. m. and the place of the acct
dent about three miles off Watch Hin. Captain
Haley's home is in Everett Mass. His crew are
foreigners.
The schooner noated from the point where she
had first touched and drifted until she brought
UP on a sandy bottom not far from the Quono-
chontaug Lfesaving Station.

Tugboat Captain Hears Larchmont
Carried Eighty Passengers.
lBy Telegraph to The Tribune.

New London. Conn. Feb. 1.-THE Scott
Wrecking Company's superintendent was In
communication by telephone with Captain David
Hunt who commands the companys tugboat
Harriet at o'clock this afternoon. Tho Har-
riet was sent to Block Island with diver. at the
request OF the Joy Line officials. TO render what
ever aid possible to the survivors OF the steamer
Larchmont and also to make an examination OF
the wrecked steamer a strong westerly breeze
was kicking up high sea as the Harriet pro-
ceeded down Fishers Island and Block Island
sounds. and a close watch WAS kept from the tug
in an endeavor TO locate the I'll fated steamer.
Captain Hunt reports that he not a flag
staff smokestack or anything whatever that
showed where the Larchmont sank. From inter
views with persons Block Island Captain
Hunt believes she lies midway between Block
Island and Watch H IN eighteen twenty
fathoms
The captain OF the Harriet says the loss OF life
must be exaggerated. from what he can learn in
conversation with people on the island, II IS
said there that the passenger list OF the Larch-
mont was eighty. instead OF double that num-
Der, reported
During his conversation over the telephone
Captain Hunt referred to the pitiabe condition
Of some of the passengers who escaped In boats
from the Larchmont. One boat which contained
nine persons. reached Block Islands beach with
only alive. the others being frozen stiff with
the spray that dashed over them during the
seven or eight hours they trying to reach
shore. Some OF the bodies lying in the bot
tom Of the small craft completely encased in ice
The tug Argo one Of the largest owned by
the Thames Towboat Company which was sent
to the scene OF the disaster at II o'clock this
morning, returned to port at o'clock this even
ing. Captain Charles c. Pettgrew OF the Argo
reports rough passage to Block Island and the
big tug is a mass Of ice from stem to stern the
salt water Congeallng to the woodwork with
each succeeding wave.
1T is a miracle that any human being man
aged to reach shore alive from the Larchmont -
said Captain Pettgrew this evening when he
was making his report in the towboat COM
panys office. The wind is nor west in the
same direction II blowing last night when
the Larchmont and Kuowlton collIded That
the few boats that were able TO be launched
from the steamer managed to reach the Block
