Items about Yale.

The candidates for the Yale baseball team were called out last night to the number of 110, most of whom were new men. There were 42 infielders and 31 out-fielders, and of the 38 candidates for the battery the majority were pitchers. The battery men will begin work in the cage at once, but the others will not report until February 23. Captain Camp will do the coaching until March 1, when Nichols, of the Boston team, will take charge of the candidates.

A movement has been started by the senior class at Yale to raise a fund of $1500, the interest of which will be used for the publication of the class records as it exist. When the fund has accomplished its purpose, it will be given to the university. The money will be raised by canvassing among members of the class.

The prospects for a good track team at Yale this year are bright because many men of ability have been developed by the cross country runs. The candidates have been practicing about one week and will have as little indoor work as possible. They are divided into three squads, each of which walks about two miles every day. The men will not be allowed to enter any of the winter athletic meets, nor will any regular relay teams be entered.

About thirty candidates for the bicycle team reported on Tuesday, including all the members of last year's team except the captain. The facilities for training the men are better this year than last, since a New Haven company intends to construct a board track, which the Yale men will probably secure for their use. The new track would change the place of the dual meet with Columbia from Bridgeport to New Haven.
