SAD LACK OF STARS
PN VARSITY SQUAD
Candidates Are Working Hard,
but Several Places Will Be
Difficult to Fill.
Chariot teavitlc. Va., January s.?
Virginia'.' track unit Held squad lias
stnrted to work m earnest In prepara?
tion for Hie coining Indoor season
Twenty-live candidates for the team
have reported and the men arc given
n stiff work-out each afternoon on Ihe
board track Pehmd Madison Hull,
under the watchful eye ol Trainer
l^tntilgnn, who has just recovered from
fn Illness of several weeks.
There i.- a lack of stars this season
A disappointment was In store for
track enthusiasts when It was an?
nounced that Turner Wiltshire, of Bal?
timore, would not return to college.
His place will be hard to fill on the re?
lay team and In tho half-mile, wilt
shire Is an Instructor in the Augusta
Military Academy.
The relay, of course, is the centre of
attraction, although not enough head

second relay last year makes him a
promising candidate for toe first team,

logiuto race as tlfth man. Is in better
form this year than ever before, and
ought to make good at the quarter
He has not jet appeared fur work.
The rest of the Held consists of n t?
' men who will have it chance in a tew
j days to show what they can do.
Virginia will be strong In the huroioi
i this year. ?'Larry" Martin is out. and
Captain Hollndoy can always be : ?
'll?,d upon to win a place or two. iitir
rls, of Wdodbcrry Forest, is a new man
with some ability in this line. He
made a splendid showing on the f >0t
ball squad the past fall.
In the distance events, i.righam. a
freshman, stands nut us a crack i tin?
ner. ' In November he broke the Vir?
ginia and probably the Southern record
in the annual four-mile cross-country
run. Starting from scratch, he covered
tue. distance In twenty minutes and
twenty seconds, an overage of about r
mile in live minutes over a hilly road,
lie has made the.mile in 4:25.
Manager Cecil says that a team. In?
cluding a relay four, will lie sent to
the George Washington meet on Feb?
ruary ?!? Arrangements are being made
for a relay race between Carlisle ami
Virginia on this dale, although not hi fg
bus been definitely decided.

'?Although horses are commanding
higher prb es than have been known for1

During fite past year tho Secretary
of War requested the co-opcratlou of
the Secretary of Agriculture In evolv?

Department by Captain Casner H Con?
rad, Jr.. Third Cavalry, United States
Army, detailed for duty In th- Qitar
lermaoter-Ocneral's Department In con?
nection with the purchase of remounts.
These men have outlined a plan for
breeding horses for army use. which
plan Is presented in the portion of this
teport dealing with the work of the
Animal Husbandry Division. To carry
out this plan would require appropria?
tions for the use of this department
estimated at $250,000 for the first year
and $100,000 a year thereafter.
The establishment In 1908 of tin- re

type of horse for the army, as the svs

has enabled the government to get the

siasm as a great Improvement over the

The better grade of horses, such as nie

a useful average life of ten years; It
i Is easy lo see that the better horse.
Issued from the depot at a cost of
$225. that lasts ten years, is cheaper
than the horse costing SIR" to $213,

European countries long; ago found
It not only advisable, but necessary, to
supervise the breeding of horses, in

most important horse countries of Ihe
world, has for many reasons only re?
cently been forced til this step. It Is
interesting to note that practically the

confront this country at Ihn present
