Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Feb, 21.-Navy has
entered full track team in the
American championships for the
first time in more than quarter of
a century, the Amateur Athletic
Union announced today. The Mid
dies will come up from Annapolis
with strong squad of Is men and
a couple of relays, Coach Earl
Thomson reported. Navy will be
represented in all events except the
walk and the shotput at the annual
classic at Madison Square Garden
on February "a.
Thus, for the first time in the ST.
year history of the Nationals, the
two United States service schools
will be among the top favorites to
annex the team title. New York
A. c. and New York University are
highly regarded, but Army and Navy
appear certain to outScore them and
give a replica Of their stirring foot
ball duels.
In fact, it almost looked that way
at the .Millrose games when vic
torious Navy was disqualified and
the award descended to Army in the
mile relay. A repeat of that ex-
citing race is a certainty and other
keen duels are expected all along
the line when for the first time
Army and Navy come to the Amer
ican championships as leading
challengers.

Police tried to piece together to-

puzzle that confronted them when
the well-preserved body of a woman
dead for SO years was found in a
sealed mahogany coffin in house at
3405 Holmead place NV, few days
after the death of the woman who
had lived alone there for many
years.
The eerie story was revealed when
the house was searched for the ef-
fects of Mrs. Mary Eva Woodward,
II, who died at st. Elizabeth's Hos
pital Sunday as the result of a fall
The body enshrined in the coffin all
those years is believed to be that of
Mrs. Woodward's mother, whose
name also was Woodward, who was
reported to have died in st. Louis in
1912.
Coroner A. Magruder Macdonald
and police were to sift what infor-
nation they could get from neigh
bors and friends, much of it con-
flicting, and studying the mute evi-
dence found in the almost incredibly
filthy and Uttered home.
One version was that the daugh-
ter had studied embalming at a
school in Philadelphia and may have
embalmed the body herself.
The younger Mrs. Woodward was
prominent here for many years in
the OAR, the Women's National
Press Club and in several other
patriotic and literary organizations.
She wrote a book on genealogy and
one on ceramics.
