The Yale Field Corperation has given its consent to some improvements in the track which the Athletic Association has been for a long time contemplating. The curves are to be changed, and instead of being so sharp as they are at present, they will be lengthened out more in the shape of an ellipse. What is known as a spiral curve is to be made. On the curves the track will be broadened and raised on the outer edge to a height of three feet above the level. All the best running tracks are now made in this way and it is expected that the speed of the track will be considerably increased. The work has already been laid out by the engineers and begun so that there need be no interference with the training next spring.
