The Taftville boys played a brilliant game and outclassed ' the visitors in every department. All the members of the home team showed up well, handling the ball fast and ac- curately. Hasler, Stanley and Jack- son, Maying guard, kept the visiting forwards smothered, while Murphy at left forward and Vickery at center played a wonderful offensive game, with 15 fleld goals as a result of their combined efforts. The game was something of a disappointment In the failure of the visitors to show class, but the fine work of the Taftville ag- gregation made the contest Worth while.

BIG DEMAND AT YALE FOR TRACK IN BOWL. Much Opposition to Decision Against Building a Cinderpath in the New Arena at New Haven. udents are up in arms over on of the committee of 21 not to build a running track in the Yale bowl. Prominent members of the alum-= | i have been urging the erection of a | and it was ex- | Yale the dec for some time, the neighborhood of $700,000, | ing in will in use for only two months of the year—October and November. The track _authorities have objected to | this plan, pointing out the adaptabil- | of the bowl to track athletics, and submitting a scheme for the construc- | tion of a track complying with every | requirement. In this it would seem that they are justified. Track is a very im- portant sport, with a world-wide and | world-old popularity, yet its facliities e are mot to ba compared to provided for' the other major Could Get Big Meet “Each year the intercollegiate meet held at Harvard or Pennsylvania. It T never taken place at Yale, for the simple reason that Yale has neith- er suitable dressing rooms nor ade- seating accommodations. Re- cently, however, the I C. A, A. A. A. petitioned ;the committee of 21 to build & track with the proper equipment, of- fering them, upon this condition, an opportunity of holding the intercollegi- ate meet at Yale. The desirability of having such a meet here, in so far as it would benefit track in the univer- sity, whiie securing for/Yale one of the great events of the athletic world, can- not be exaggerated. “To be sure the committee in charge of the bowl has urged the track team | to wait three or four vears until the be further canvassed ! for money for the erection of a sep- te plant with covered stands to seat ,000. This, of course, might solve the difficulty, but many feel that the grad- uate reservoir has been already suffl- ciently drained, without asking for this additional sum. A New Plan, committee of 21, a number of however, “The arguments | inst the project. Briefly, the objec- s are—that a 220 yard straight- away is essential to the track equip- ment,that a tunnel must be cut through the embankment of the bowl to give the required length, at the excessive cost of from $40,000 to $50,000, that the air pressure and wind currents in the tunnel would hinder the runners, and the other colleges would therefore re- fuse to compete on such a track. “We suggest another seefningly more By cutting out each end of.the stadium a slice of at vards in depth by 6 in width, and con- necting the two by a track, running along through the middle of the foot- ball field, we would have a 220 yard straightaway, so that by starting in one of the cut-outs we would have nine- tents of the race and the &nish in full view of the spectators, with ample room after crossing the line, TROTTING ON THE ICE. Several Trainers Looking to Malone Meet. Racing on the ice has attracted an unusually large number of trainers who live in the states and who gen- erally give their horses a letup during the cold months. Having made such | famous horses as Angus Pointer, The | iZel, Hal B., Jr., Joe Patchen IL, Grand Cpera, Grattan Roval, Merry Widow and many others by racing them win- ter and summer and never latting their muscles soften, Canadlans seem to have a system of training horses that | is effective. Probably it ix for this| reason that some of the newcomers ! will try the winter sport across the | border. There are a number of train- ers flocking to Malone, N. Y., where a meeting will be given early in January. Reports from the New York track state that the banner lce meet seems assured. | William Donahue, who drove Ross until that trotter was sold to J. R. cCune of Piftsburg, is at Malone, having shipped from Rockport the ! green trotter Axme and Wolgast, 2.19 | 1-4.

After the meeting at | Malone trainers will ship to Canada, | Charley Prue of North Randall, O., and Bob Bever expect to race Pat Logan, Thistle Doune farm’s pacing stallion, and Gillette, a four year old trotter by Todd, owned by H. K. Devereux, at some of the Canadian meetings. Among the trainers already in Can- ada awalting the opening of the ice cireuit are Nat Ray, the former stee- plechase jockey; James Dempier, J. Kellar, Hrusie, MecDowell, )\{cBride,I Spencer, Bever and others, Perhaps there will be fewer stars than usual in competitien across the berder this sea- son, but there seems an unusaally large number of young horses being prepared for the ice sport.

R . Yale athletics in 1894 and 1895. He was first’ substitute tackle on the football eleven, and after his graduation coach- ed the Navy team a year or two. He is a nephew of General Armstrong, founder of the Hampton Institute. He rowed on his freshman crew in 1898, and on the 'varsity eights of 1894 and 1895, He was one of the lightest oars- men who ever sat in a Yale shell,weigh- ing less than 150 pounds, and one of ‘the lightest tackles who. ever won his “Y.” Yet, with Armstrong at tackle and Frank Hinkey, weighing 135 pounds, at end, the Harvard and Princeton attack invariably was flung against the other Yale wing. Arm- strong, by the way, also coached the Annapolis eight for two or three yeara after the Yale trip to Henley in 1896. He is at present in the oyster business in Hampton, Va. DISCOURAGES HEROING. George Huff Endeavoring to Do Away with the All-Around Athlete. If George A. Huff's ideas prevall, the day of the all around athlete in the west will pass. The Illinoils director announced that he is the man behind the proposal to limit participation in athletics to one branch of sport. The statement he gave out tells why: “A proposal that the conference uni versities limit the participation of ath letes in college sports to one sport a year has been made by Proressor G. ‘W. Goodenough, TIllinois representa- tive. He did so at my request. I am convinced after years of experience with college athletics that the limita- tion would be productive of great good. “In many institutions the same ath- letes participate in almost all the major sports. The idea that just as many students as possible participate in sport is defeated. Were athletes lim- ited to one branch there would in- stantly come an athletic revival in all our conference Institutions. A larger interest in athletics would be stimu- lated. The honor of membership on athletic teams, often giving rise to false sense of proportions in universi- ties, would be shared by more men. There would be fewer heroes, but more athletes. Here are our universities with thousands of men represented by a comparatively limited number of athletes. Why not give more of the thousands a chance? The reply that the grade of athletic performance would be lowered is not certaln to be the truth, and even if true, the chief object of university athletics is not to create teams of high grade. “The limitation of athletes to one sport would not only serve a great purpose in increasing general partici- pation in sport, but also it would serve other purposes. It would remove the dangers of over-exertion and over- training. I do not believe that it is well for the physical health of our to be trained for these exertions vear round. Again, the athlete , settle down and real- ize that his first object is his uni- versity work—that athletics are after all secondary Major Shattuck Was Former Athlete. Manchester, N. H., Dec. 25.—Major Amos Blanchard Shattuck, who is Ae- ported to have died in Camp Bayam- baug, P. 1., as the result of being thrown from his horse, Sunday, was Manchester’'s most notable representa- tive in the military branch of the gov- ernment. Major Shattuck wah born in Man- chester, August 11, 1860. He was grad- the will have time uated in 1879 from Phillips Exeter Academy. While at Exeter he became famous in baseball and football. He entered Harvard law school and was a member of the football team cap- tained by Robert Bacon, recent am- bassador to England. But it was as a baseball player that Major Shattuck emblazoned his name on the Harvard scroll. He was consid- ered one of the best men who ever played for the Crimson. Probably Har- vard never had a heavier hitter. Two home runs in one game off Tommy Bond, when the latter was the crack twirler of the Boston Nationals, was one of his memorable achievements. Another was when, playing against| Brown, | in Providence, he batted the| ball so high and far over the center fleld fence that it was never recovered, Levinsky Defeats Jack Driscoll. New York, Dec. 26.—Battlin~ Levin- sky, light heavyweight of this city, de- feated Jack Driscoll of Brooklyn in a 10 round bout in the latter city this| afternoon.
