TRACK COMPLETED
AT YANKEE STADIUM
A. A. q. to Hold Championship
Events There Next Out
door Season.

Work was completed ON tho running
track at the Yankee Stadium yesterday,
Just before the cold snap put in its ap-
pearance. The track was designed by
Frederick w. Ruben. secretary of the
Amateur Athletic Union and American
Olympic committee. and the construc-
ton was supervised by his son. F. w.
Ruben, Jr
In speaking of the track yesterday
Mr. Ruben said that no expense was
spared to make the track at Yankee
Stadium one of the finest in the country.
The track is "a feet wide throughout
and measures 400 yards 10 the lap. u
has 12o yards straightaway and tho
track ought to be very fast. as 1t Is
protected from the wind on all sides by
huge stands which will accommodate
rs. 900 people.
The construction of the track will not
interfere with baseball. A novel method
was adopted-the usual curb being sunk
below the level of the surface. and the
track will be perfectly level with the
grass of the infield and bear the same
relation to the sod as the running paths
between the bases. A temporary curb
will be installed when track events are
in progress. As baseball will only be
played at the stadium approximately
seventy-seven days OF the year. the
track will be available for athletic con-
tests on many occa sions. In the win
ter the track can be sprayed and will
make a splendid skating surface. Inn
portant football contests will also be
held at the Stadium
An idea of the size of the field can he
obtained from the width of the field.
which Is 362 feet S inches. When Babe
Ruth hits home run over second base
to the centre field bleachers the ball will
travel 475 feet
That many important athletic feat
ures will be conducted at the Yankee
Stadium was evidenced az the recent
meeting of the Metropolitan Association

hold the national ten mile run. seven
mile walk and two mile steeplechase
championships next October. These
championships were awarded to the Met.

Corporations hire a lawyer. Even the
Soviets have committees. Nobody let's
the whole mob give an exhibition for
them. The only kind of truly demo-
cratic game is a Donnybrook Fair or a
game OF shinny. The varsity game is
presumably the best exhibition in a
given sport that college can put on.
The amount OF time taken by actual
practice and playing of intercollegiate
games Is probably not excessive. Stu
dents are not economical of their time
An athlete is as likely TO sit around in a
session of Spanish athletics (throwing
the bulD as any other student. He quite
definitely has enough time to carry on
his athletics. put in an eight hour cay
on his academic work and reserve ample
time for sleeping and moderate
amount OF non-productive recreation.
That this is true Is evidenced by the
fact that athletes are in these times as
successful with their athletic work as
the average student. The opinion to
the contrary is current solely because OF
the publicity attendant upon his (the
athlete's) failure TO maintain required
scholastic standards.
The physical after effects are de-
batable. II Is true. nevertheless. that
many OF the varsity teams OF various
colleges of the sos are practically intact

would look like a fair insurance risk

justified as long as the general public

you would soon see a change in business
methods. product that sells without
advertising Is OF public interest and is
worth the money TO the people that
spend it
IL Is possible that the press over
emphasizes the publicity given TO inter-
collegiate athletics. No alumnus will
admit this for his own college and few
for the situation in general. One can
count II as a fact that newspapers play
up a given topic only when In their
Judgment II has news value and the
reading public will be interested In II.
No newspaper Is laid out 60 give the
public the news It ought TO read. One
foundation certainly of the newspapers

sound People do want 20 read inter-
collegiate athletic news. They buy IL.
What harm does II do?
1T seems TO be true that the one
harmful note IN athletic publicity is the
effort. consciously or unconsclously. OF
the press TO have schedules made and
coaches appointed that will provide col

part Of some papers 90 meddle in others

much harm up to now.

WEST VIRGINIANS
ON BATTLE-GROUND
MOuntaineers at San Diego for
Football Game With Con-
Zaga Tomorrow.

Los ANGELES. Cal. Dec. 23.-West
Virginia football players got their first
peep at Los Angeles to-day-just that,
peep. There was no sightseeing. BY
way OF substitute the squad put in a
full hour of work at Bovard Field, Uni
versity Of Southern California.
Arriving here at o'clock this after
noon the men were rushed to the field in
taxicabs and after spending almost four
solid days cooped up in a Pullman
sleeper the men showed all sorts OF pep.
For nearly half hour there was prac-
tice at kicking and passes. with Martin.
Barnum. Mcmillan and Ekberg getting
off many long boots. while Simon, Mar
dacci. Martin and Ekberg did the pass
ing. Signal drill also consumed the bet
ter part of a half hour.
The four days layofr showed it's ef-
feet In the way the plays were carried
out. At the start they were "gummed
up" repeatedly. but before the drill
ended the entire squad was romping
through the plays with precision and
dispatch.
Early tonight the team left for San
Diego and will be quartered at the Del
Coronado Hotel. Tomorrow an ex-
cursion Is planned into old Mexico. That
will take the squad away from the
football fans.
In spite OF 'o-day's spirited workout
Coach Spears feels that his team will
not play a good game Monday. He de-
clarcs that the Gonzaga team has been
belittled too fiuch an dthe Mountain

high class performance on the part
OF his team. TO say nothing OF the four
days travelling without anything like
regular practice. Then. too. the team
lost two weeks of practice following
Thanksgiving before It was known that
Mondays game would be played.

Former Commodore Cornelius Van

Commodore Vanderbilt has thought of
making the schooner Elena an auxiliary
by cutting down her sail spread and
installing an engine. That yacht will
not be changed. There Is always a
possibility of challenge being sent to
the New York Yacht Club for a race
for the Americas Cup and naming a
schooner. Elena would then be ready
to sail as the defender.

and is now on its way to Florida ports.
The Miramar is 100 feet long and was
built by Kyle e. Purdy at City Island.
Gredt care was taken In ner Design
and later In her interior fittings and
decorations to make her the most at
tractive yacht of her type. She Is like
a floating bungalow, but is also a
staunch. seaworthy craft fitted with
Diesel oil engines. Mr.. Eisenlohr for
whom she was built. died few days
after ne had accepted the yacht. and
since then Miramar has been used by
other members of his family. Several
offers were made during the summer
for the purchase of the yacht, and
finally that of Mr.. Stattler was ac-
cepted.

To THE SPORTING EDITOR OF THE NEW
YORK HERALD: There Is no reason to be-
lieve that our colleges are permanently
athletics, although the tendency to hip
podrome football is something which
must be guarded against. But even here,
as long as our sports are efficiently man.
aged and supervised by college officials
there is no reason to be alarmed. II
seems to me that the great throngs
which struggle to see the championship
football games constitute a peculiar
tribute TO amateur sportsmanship as con-
trasted with the professional brand.
On the whole. our COLLEGES keep con-
tinually before their students the neces-
sity of playing every game hard but
cleanly. and so long as they adhere to
these principles and require nign
standard OF scholarship from all their
athletes there need be no fear but that
the result of competitive athletics will be
benefit to them, and they should have
an uplifting effect upon the spectators,
whether they are college men and women
or not. As / see IL. the most important
problem which the administrators OF col
lege sports need to solve Is TO maintain
something approaching equality In the
regard which students should have for
the various sports.
For example, most OF the large univer-
stiles OF the East maintain both varsity
and freshman teams In from fifteen 10
twenty different sports-there are nine
teen at Pennsylvania. while football be-
cause membership on the team brings
greater honors. at least more publicity.
In usually rated as the most important
sport, Il is not such In fact. There are
any number OF other sports which will
do the average young man more physical
good and with less likelihood OF Injury.
Our colleges need. therefore, to give each
sport it's proper rating. particularly not
70 Judge one more important than an
other because Its gate receipts are
greater.
AS time goes on I think we shall hear
less outcry against the commercializa-
tIon OF college sports. In the East we
are bringing them under the direct su-
pervision OF the college administration.
which means that In this way they
will become more directly part OF the
curriculum.
