home State for funeral services.
James A. Ten Eyck, who died
today at Miami, was coach OF

kins Cove, a hamlet near PeekS-
kill, N. Y, and was raised on the
Hudson River.

since boyhood.
His first real coaching job was
at the Worcester Boat Club, more
than 60 years ago. He then
coached the crews of the United
States Naval Academy and also at
the Duluth Boat Club. From
there he came to Syracuse 35 years
ago. His crews won several inter
collegiateS at Poughkeepsie and at
Cayuga Lake.
Up until last summer he was
an ardent outdoor sportsman. de-
spite his age, and frequently rowed
his boat for miles at his summer
home in Maine.
He is survived by his widow and
two sons, one Ned, now acting as
coach of the Syracuse crews.

225,O8O NEGRO
WORKERS ON
WPA PROJECTS.
REPORT STATES

WASHINGTON, D.C.--A total of
225,080 colored workers were en-
ployed by the Works Progress Ad-
ministration during the last quarter
of 1887, according to report pre-
pared for WPA Administrator Harry
L. Hopkins by Alfred Edgar Smith,
Administrative Assistant,
These workers constituted approx
mately 15.2 per cent of all persons
employed by the WPA at this time,
Mr.. Smiths report states. Thus one
in every six WPA workers was a
Negro. Approximately $4,000 of the
colored workers were men and 49,
$50 were women.
The report commends the wide
employment of Negro white-collar
workers and supervisory personnel
by the WPA, the decrease of juven--
lie delinquency as result of the
WPA recreational program, and the
general furtherance of improved race
