TRACK
ENTHUSIASM ON
HIGH SPEED NOW

Cambridge, Mass. Feb. 3.-Har-
wards track squad Jumped 70 eighty
men recently, that number reporting in
a record-breaking practice session at
Soldiers Field. This is the largest
SQUAD which has reported for winter
work for several years. The men were
given slightly heavier work by Pooch
Donovan, the Harvard head coach, and
ten laps around the l30-yard board
track was in store for most Of the can
didates. while the field events worked
out in the cage.
The candidates for the short distance
relay team were divided into groups,
and after trying about five starts
apiece the men were sent around the
board track for ten laps. Captain Z. A.
Teschner, II, led the way around the
track, keeping the pace low enough TO
give the men a good workout without
doing any damage in the early season
practice.
The candidates for the long distance
relay team were put in charge OF j.
Coggeshall, Is, captain of his fresh
man team, who led the way around the
track for ten laps and then walked mis-
squad around four times at a good,
brisk walk. The long distance relay
men received several new candidates.
The best men out for the team at pres
ent are Coggeshall, F. T. Donahue and
II. W. Minot The latter is the only
man who is likely 20 run on both the
short and the long distance relay
teams. Last winter he ran on the short
distance team and was also out for the
7sO-yard quartet. Coach Donovan con-
siders him a likely candidate for both
teams this year. But ten men reported
for the freshman relay team. and these
were given the same training as the
varsity candidates.
Harvard has but three weeks 70 get
into condition for their nrst meet Tor
Coach Donovan plans 20 enter a team
in tho annual indoor open handicap
meet of the Coast Artillery Corps,
which will be held at the South state
Armory on January 81 IL Is likely
that Harvard will enter all OF the open
events, including the 75-yard handicap
run. the 4i0-yard dash, the half-mile
and mile runs, the high jump and the
relay races. Other colleges which will
oppose the Crimson in this meet are
HOLY Cross, VI. l. T., Bates, Dartmouth,
Bowdoin, Williams, Wesleyan and Bos-
ton.

200 TEAMS FOR
STATE BOWLING
MEET IN OHIO

Cleveland. Feb. SACK Atkinson,
secretary of the Ohio State Bowling
Association, predicts that at least 200
teams will compete in the state bowling
tournament which starts at Toledo on
February Z.
From information I have I'm sure
all records for entries will be sur
passed." said Jack. THE present record
is 1874. There will be at least forty
teams from Cleveland, eighteen from
Cincinnati, between fifteen and twenty
from Columbus, about ten from Canton
and the same number from Akron,
about 100 from Toledo, not TO mention
smaller towns which will send one or
two teams"
Entries will close January 81. Bowl
ers who expect to compete are request
ed TO send their entries as soon as pos
sible to Larry Gazzola and Jack Hag-
erty, 324 Huron Street, Toledo, to get
satisfactory dates.

DUFFY GIVES WALLACE
A SEVERE TROUNCING

Jimmy Duffy. the West Side slugger,
decisively whipped Eddie Wallace, Of
Brooklyn, in a ten-round boxing match
at the Clermont S. c.. of Brooklyn,
last night Duffy outfought the
Brooklyn lad from start TO finish, but
could not put him down for even a
short count. Wallace bled from the
nose throughout and was otherwise
battered and abused.
Wallace was the flasher boxer Of the
pair and tried TO conduct the battle
along scientific lines. His opponent
however, would have none of this and
tore away like a wildcat. Duffy took
punches on the head deliberately in
order 10 get a chance TO work in close.
When he got inside Wallace suffered
badly from heavy smashes to the body.

Club.
Hard Race Anticipated
Eby's real ability at the mile dis
lance is unknown, although ne has
shown some sterling performances at
the middle distances. Ryan was the
winner last year, furnishing a complete
surprise. but in a great measure he was
aided in his victory by the slow pace.
In this years event however. IT IS GER
tain TO be fast pace from the start,
with Meyers, 0verton, Devaney and Ely
forcing the fight ali the way.
Four OF the heetest timber toppers
OF the amateur ranks will compete in
the l2O-yard low hurdles. The field
will be com posed of the veteran Jack
J. Eller, OF the Irish-American Athletic
Club; Fred S. Murray and Arthur l..
Engels, both OF the New York Athletic
Club, and 10 G.. LOOMS, the greyhound
of the Chicago Athletic Association.
In recent races Eller has proven that
his fourteen years on track and feld
have not robbed him of much of his
speed, and he is sure TO be contender.
Murray has not as yet enjoyed
months training on the board floor, so
that his true speed indoors is unknown.
Loomis's great stride and whirlwind
speed are among his strongest assets.
In the special century dash the field
is made up of athletes who have at one
time or another covered the distance in
10 seconds fat. Loomis will strive his
mightiest to win this contest, as one
Of his rivals will be Irving Mahl, of the
Missouri Athletic Club. The latter has
scored two victories over Loomis at
shorter distances, but he is said to be
equally as fast in races up TO one-quar-
ter of a mile.
Others on the starting mark with
LOOMS and Mail will be Alvah 7.
Meyer. who previous 70 last year was a
five-time winner of the 100 and 220
yard titles Of the metropolitan district;
Row F. Morse, former national outdoor
champion. and Andy B. Kelly, OF Holy
Cross College, the metropolitan cham
pion.
Many collegians will take part in the
games, Yale sending down team OF
twelve athletes, Princeton eight and
Pennsylvania seven. New York, Column

scented.

SPEAKER CALLS
GOLF BIG AID TO
BATTING EYE

Cleveland, Feb. S-Trs Speaker
says golf is the best game in the
world for a ball player-that it helps
the batting eye, keeps a chap on edge
and gives just the mild exercise a
player needs.
Iris played golf every time he could
get a chance last season. He often
motored to one of the many Cleveland
courses just as soon as he had finished
his breakfast, negotiated the eighteen
holes and returned for lunch feeling
fit as a fiddle and ready for a strenu-
Gus afternoon at League Park.
Until last year Ty Cobb was a golf
bug, but he played very little during
the 1916 championship season because
he feared it would affect his hitting.
Led League in Batting
Speaker led the American League In
batting last season. lie believes that
playing golf helped him do IL, and pro-
poses TO mix golf with baseball next
year
Few managers object to their players
taking a shot at golf-some of them
advise Il. Bowling, too, is a sport ball
players have taken up with VEN
geance, and there are q number OF high
class pin-smashers among the big
leaguers.
Fred Falkenberg, formerly of the
Cleveland club, was better than the
average bowler. Ray Morgan, of the
Washington Senators, is a star. South
paw Eddie Plank, Of the ST. Louis
Browns, IS also a good man and holds
the record az duck pins for the only
alleys in Gettysburg, Penn, his home
town.
Many players do not care for the
big pins-they would rather shoot az
the ducks because the size and weight
OF the ball is nearer the weight of
baseball.
Football Under Pan
Basketball and football are positively
under the ban for the professional
ball players. There is TOO much dan
ger of injury in both OF these games.
especially basketball as played By some
Of the strong semI-prO teams N the
East.
Ball players themselves have come
20 realize that they owe it 20 them
selves 20 sidestep all dangerous sports
during the off season. There are few
who are willing to take such chances
these days, for competition is always
keen, and unless a player reports in
ft shape 10 start the season there is
usually somebody else TO step right
into his shoes.

 'thousekeepers," and all through the camps equality is the watchword and everybody is on the same footing. One day man works as private, the next day he may be a mmissioned officer and the next he may play the part of a lieutenant only to go back as private on the following day.
 Camp Day.
 The camp day begins at 5.45AA.' M. and lasts until 9.45 P. M., ten-hour period of actual work with short periods of rest. Five hours work is done in the morning, three in the aft ernocn and two-hour study period at night. The only time a. man really has to himself is Saturday afternoon and Sunday. Many of the men are so interested in their work that. they spend Saturday afternoon in study catching up some little. failure of the week. The morning is usually given over to drills, for every drill of the army must be learned perfectly before a man can be given a commission. These drills consist of manual of arms, musketry training. physical drill, sem- |aphore and flag signaling. bayonet and saber drill. These drills are sup posed to be learned during the first month of-training. The greater part of the afternoon is given over to-1ec-

The men are required to be in good physical condition. and must pass a rigid physical examination before they are admitted to camp. A man whose body is wracked with disease is unfit for military service no matter how brilliant his mind may be, consequent ly the physical examination is the first ordeal the embryo officer must undergo.
 At the majority of camps the men are housed in cantonments, the type of shacks now used for housing the soldiers in Europe. They are one story affairs resembling the country tomato canning factories and are di- vided into rooms for two men. The beds are like those of section in sleeping cars. one above the other, and the mattress rests upon wire which IS more or less springy. The men are required to keep. their houses clean and'to air their bedding at cer- tain times. This makes the camps democratic for the young millionaire, who has always had, his valet at his call, must sweep up and make his bed lust the same as his brother, who is not well off in this worlds goods, It must be said to the credit of the rich young men. that they have entered into this spirit of democracy with a hearty good will and are excellent

the Confederate reunion in that city. will attest to the military bearing and behavior of these young men who handled themselves like veteran West Pointers. The, very flower of the off, cers of the Regular Army were sent to these camps as instructors and they found the average man an apt pupil. Of course, there are men whose tenn perament units them for duty as army officers and these were soon weeded out. Others who had dependents were sent home, and still others who were careless were dismissed.
 Paid While Training.
 The men were paid s100 per month while training, but had to pay their subsistence and furnish their own uni- forms during the three months period The clothing necessary is as follows: E Fl hat (service).
 coat (service) olive drab.
 shirts, flannel, olive drab.
 2 brooches (service) olive drab.
 pair of 1eggins, canvas.
 pair of shoes. marching.
 All the necessary arms aHd equip- ment and books used are furnished by the Government. The first camp closes on August 11th and the second one begins August 2Tth. and lasts until November 26th.

lures and study. Each man is pro- carries to a point selected by the lec- turer. Then the men gather about in a semi-circle and listen to an officer discourse on the subject of the care of regiment, in organization or equipment and other military subjects.
 Lectures By British Omcers. /"
 Frequently there is a lecture by a Canadian or English officer, who has seen service at the front. These talks are intensely interesting for they bring the war scenes out in vivid manner. One of the recent lectures at camp was on the use of gas masks, the lec- turer explaining how they were ad- justed, giving a demonstration by the use of mask, after which number of the students tried it on. Lectures on the use of the bayonet are ire quent. for that weapon now plays an important part in the European war.
 During the early days of the conflict the firing was all done at long range and the Germans and their enemies rarely saw each other. but today there is much hand to hand fighting and OuT Lhou uluSLs pc taught now to nOlC a bayonet to the best advantage. The German soldier is not quick to protect himself with bayonet, being clumsy and unused to boxing, while the Eng lishman goes in for athletics and hi' boxing proclivities serve him well when it comes to hand to hand fight ing. The English lecturer gives tho points on these subjects.
 Cleaning trenches Is also another subject which the men study, thai | is the cleaning of the German trenches of men, also how to withdraw bay onet after Killing man. Some of the lectures and training are kept a secret as those in charge do not think the general public should know some o1 the workings, but in the majority oi
 eases one may ride or walk about the camps at will and at certain times the men may receive visits from theil friends. During the lectures the mer take notes and the day after the lee. ture they are quizzed on this and their lessons of the day before.
