TRACK WORK BEGINS.
IN EARNEST AT YALE
Plenty Of Good Material Will
ing and Eager to Start
Long Grind.

spectd, Dispatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. 16.-Having
been beaten by both Princeton and
Harvard in track events last spring for
the first time in eighteen years. Yale is
making a great effort this winter to
arouse interest in track and field events
to the extent OF getting out anybody
who can do anything on the cinder path
or with the weights. The results Of the
dual meets with Princeton and Harvard
last season are still sore spots in Yale's
athletic system and If the records of
these defeats are not wiped out next
spring II won't be because enough can
didates to make up 20 good track team
did not at least try for places.
On the call for candidates to begin
winter work Capt. Tom Campbell and
Trainer Johnny Mack found the largest
number of candidates that ever reported,
willing and eager to start the winter
grind over the new wooden track being
built near the gymnasium. This winter
track will prove adequate for all winter
training and an indoor cage for eprints,
hurdles and field events will add to the
equipment which Yale has needed so
much Of late years.
The assurance OF Yale Harvard
Oxford-Cambridge meeting in England
next summer has created added interest
in the winter grind for almost any ath
lete would like to be taken over for a
trip of that character. When the new
track is finished candidates for the
middle and distance runs will use II and
prospective transatlantic voyagers will
be seen all winter practlcing their spe-
cialties out in the open.
This track is being built on the lot
at High and Grove streets. The running
surface will be twelve feet wide and the
track will stand two feet above the
ground to prevent n heavy snowfall from
interfering with the daily practice. 1t
win be fourteen laps to the mile.
BY way of creating enthusiasm. the
track management has offered n gold
medal to the man in each event who has
shown the most marked Improvement in
his work during the indoor season. This
applies TO candidates for the freshman
and varsity teams.

the firing line. The idea was TO give
the nimrods an opportunity to shoot

generally find on the firing line.

shoot The winner proved to be Dr.

d. s. McCutcheon, 13, and f. ]. Ham. 13.
Fifty-nine gunners took part in the
regular shoot during the afternoon. The
winner of the high scratch prize was
T. II. Lewis, who had the excellent
total Of 81 out of a possible 100 targets.
There was the usual tie for the high

trophy went to II. D. Meeker. who also
won the Take Home cup of the day.
He also scored leg on both the Haslin
and the Monthly cups.
There was no other winner on the
Monthly cup. In the Hasin cup shoot

Polo Spoils Golf Swing
of the Prince of Wales
Andra Kirkaldy, Famous st. Andrews Professional,
Finds Much to Admire and Criticize in Game
Played by Heir to British Throne.
By JOHN G. ANDERSON.

few days after the Prince of Wales

more at his ease and didna seem to mind
them.
Hes really a class gowfer, the
Prince. IL he only had practice. One
thing that spoils him Is the polo swing
he has. Time and again he had the
chance In the two days that l spent WI
him on the links to bring off brilliant
shot, and It would have been as fine as
we'd like but for that awfu' twist his
polo has taught him. The less polo he
plays the better. It's no a game for
man like gowf is. and the twa of them
Gamma be played WI onything like JUS
tice. They're near as far apart as the
poles. Indeed, It wouldna be ungracious
in me to call them the straight and
crooked paths--ye ken what 1 mean

near all we would want. but II there's

MANTELL PLAYED
MORGAN


Very few Americans realize that
one Of their greatest tragedians.
Robert Mantell. once upon a time
interpreted the character of Joe
Morgan in Ten Nights in a Bar
room"
The popularity of this famous
star was so great in England that
Mr. Mantell found himself without a
suitable vehicle for his talents and
he cast about and finally hit upon
Ten Nights in a Barroom." This
happened many years ago-to be
specific in 1s74-and It's success was
truly remarkable at that particular
time.
There seems TO be an endless dis
cussion as to who Is the real author
.of Ten Nights. In a Barroom." Be
ing so old, II Is rather hard to trace
il and the rival claims OF Waugh. an
Englishman, and Timothy s. Arthur.
n Philadelphian. both have their
champions. The first authentic rec
ord Of the story that we can find Is
dated 1865. If Waugh wrote the
story It must have been previous 10
that year, because Arthur can prove
MS claim In a valid manner. The
burning question amongst literary
men at the present time is: Who was
first, the Englishman or the Ameri-
cam The evidence in the case ap-
pears to favor the American.
