READY FOR WILLIAMS.
Holy Cross Team viii Be in Good Con.
dition Tomorrow.

dition Tomorrow.
Coach Morris Conner had the Holy
Cross foot ball squad out for a brisk
six mile walk Sunday and during the
midday intermission yesterday called
the men out for light practice. The
backs We're set at punting and the rest
of the squad at catching and running
with the ball. Later the first and sec
ond eleVens were lined up for signal
practice and for fifteen minute play
The men did good work and showed no
i'll effects from Saturdays game, eX
cept that McCabe spent the day in the
college infirmafy nursing his right knee
which was wrenched in the Tech game.
He will, however, be on hand tomor-
row, and the make up of the team
which meets Williams at Williamstown
will be the same as Saturday. Coach
Connor although rating the men sound
ly for their lax and listless playing
against Tech feels that his team is
doing good work and anticipates Civ
ing the Williams eleven a disagreeable
surprise tomorrow. Today the Holy
Cross men will have light work during
the noon recess and signal practice at
5 o'clock. Their next game is hard
one and on it's result Holy Cross hinges

that the rival wearers of royal purple
and white have been pitted against
each other on the gridiron and adher-
ents OF both colleges have different
views regarding the outcome of their
first encounter.
Peter ]. Hand, manager of the Holy
Cross foot bah team, is still in a guam
dairy over his next two dates. He has
not as yet closed with any team for
either day and while daily expecting
replies to his offers, is on
the worry seat, lest his team be obliged
to take two weeks rest.

YACHTS AT THE START.

At 10 o'clock both yachts had reached
the east end of Gedney's channel, and
at 1910 the Columbia's crew began
hoisting the mainsail 1t was set in
five minutes. The Shamrock's main
sail began to go up at the same time,
but it was fully Is minutes before the
sail was set When the yachts passed
tire telegraph schooner Lizzie Carr
which was lying head to wind with a
single reefed mainsall set, the wind was
fairly steady from the eastward blow
ing about ten miles an hour, the water
smooth and the sky cloudy. Two miles
was about the limit of observation, ow-
ing to heavy mist.
At 1925 both yachts cast off their
towlines, broke out their jibs and mast
headed their Nc. club topsails. The
Columbia also sent UP her baby jib top
sail on the STAYS At the same time
the committee boat Walter Lucken-
bach, anchored due south of the Sandy
Hook lightship and sent up the course
signal; it was Gust making it q beat
dead to windward for the yachts of Is
miles and a run back with the wind,

The regatta committee meant bust
ness this morning, for a few minutes
later they started the tug to log off
the course, and at 1915 the preparatory
signal was made. Both yachts then
began mane'lveTing for positions, and
at 1875, when the warming signal was
given, they were playing for weather
herth to the northward Of the line
Skemrock breaking out her staysail at
this time. Whtn two minutes were
left before the starting signal, both
yachts were heading-a couple Of
lengths apart-to port, the Columbia to
windward.

LESSONS FOR YALE.
Defense Must Be Stronger and Inter-
ference More Scientific.

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 16.-The Yale
foot ball squad was given stiff and
sharp but short practice this afternoon.
There was no cessation of work for any
of the players except those whose bruises
were of such a nature that it would be
dangerous for them to play
Brink" Thorne was on the field today
and took the backs in charge with Billie
Bull. Hickok, the old guard, was also
here for the first time this season, taking
charge of the guards. He will remain I'M
til after the Wisconsin game probably.
1t is for the game of next Saturday that
Yale is now practicing in the light of what
was learned in last Saturdays game with
Dartmouth. The defensive tactics must
be developed to d marked degree, and
the interference for runners must be
brought up to a higher proficiency than
at present. Yale is apparently much
stronger on the offensive than on the de-
fensiVe.
From today on especial attention will
be given to the work of the ends and in
conjunction with it careful effort will be
made to secure a safe and sure backfield.
1t is not likely that any changes will be
made save for injuries during the week,
the effort being to develop an eleven of
marked team play.
With the exception of the halfbacks
whose injuries laid them up last week,
there is not an injured man in the squad.
Trainer Robinson is confident of having
Sharpe, Adams, kiefer and even Auchin-
loss in trim for the last three games of
the season, and fit and able to play.

FAD a DAY OFF.
Tech Men Did Not Practice Yesterday
After Their Hard Game.

Worcester Tech foot ball men took no
practice last evening and no fault was
found by the coach or management. 1t
was thought advisable to allow the men
to rest after the hard game they went
through against Holy Cross, Saturday
They will be called out this evening as
usual and put through vigorous work.
II. Walsh captain of the team, will re-
main at left end as Wood will not be able
to go into play again for several
weeks. It is possible that he
will not play this season. The injury
TO his knee in Saturdays game set him
back many weeks. His loss is an un1or-
tunate one to the team as he was one
OF the best men on it.
Walsh will make a good end, but his
removal from behind the line Will weaken
it. Willis who played half after Woods
injury will probably be kept there. He
showed qualities for the position which
were never before suspected.
The team has no game for Saturday.
A game with University of Vermont was
scheduled but the Tech team had to can
eel 1t in order to prevent losing class.
Manager Allen win endeavor to arrange
a game before Saturday but has not
much hopes of succeeding.

HoGARTH DESPERATE.

Capt, Hogarth was getting desperate
now, and he resorted to his short tack
ing tactics, in the hope that his boat
would forereach sufficiently to make a
material gain to windward. Some idea
may be gathered of the quick work
which followed when it seemed that
both yachts had made seven tacks in
the next minutes and 45 seconds, the
Shamrock always lacking first. At the
conclusion of this marine duel between
the single stickers, Hogarth found him
self farther to leeward than ever, the
Columbia having been, If anything,
quicker in lacking and better in fore
reaching.
At 12.5O15, when the Shamrock set
tied down again to business on the port
tack and the Columbia, after standing

mile to windward and outfooting and
outpointing her rival all the time,
Capt. Hogarth, finding that the Sham
rock simply would not point as high
as the Columbia, hattened down his
sheets as hard as he dared and had to
be contented with giving her good
full and letting her go at that. The
Shamrock went about to starboard at

again tackled to port the Columbia

seconds later.

London, Oct 16.-Partly to disap-

pointment over the result was very
keen.
At the Hotel Cecil, where a crowd of
Americans had collected to await the
announcement of the result on the
ticker, cheers resounded. Yankee
Doodle" was sung at all the music
halls. When the result was commun-
icated to the audiences, there was a
general manifestation of disappoint-
ment but this speedily gave place to
the heartiest cheers, and the bands
played American tunes.

Then the steamers scampered after
the Columbia, croWding about her,
cheering her again and again, while
the bands played patriotic airs. They
escorted her all the way to her anehor-
age inside the Hook.
The race tomorrow will be over tile

CHEERS BY SIR THOMAS.

After the race, while the yachts were
being towed back to their mornings,
Sir Thomas Lipton's yacht Erin
ranged up alongside the Columbia. The
Erin's officers and men, led by Sir
Thomas, gave the Yankee yacht three
hearty British cheers. They were
quickly responded to with three
cheers and a tiger from the Columbia's
men, led by c. Oliver Iselin.

The flagship Corsair was among the
number, and as soon as the American
yacht had crossed the line, Commodore
j. Pierpont Morgan ordered American
ensigns to be hoisted at each mast
head, and at the ends of both gaffs.
Every steamer saIuted with her
whistle, and the Shamrock's welcome

Twenty minutes after the yachts had
crossed the finish line, the only vessels

Those on board this small fleet had a
splendid view of the start, and the first
ten minutes after it were anxious ones
for the friends of both yachts. After
that time it was "alI over but the

hogarth's intention apparently being to
stop the Columbia, then a length or so
astern, from getting the weather berth.
Wien the starting gun was fired, the
Shamrock had c,n parallel with the
line to nearly the centre of it. She
still held her course until nearly over
to the lightship before she began to
luff to cross the line. Capt. Barr, on
the Columbia, held his yacht well in
hand, being at this time a good length
astern.
With sheets fiat aft, he began to huff
the moment Hogarth did, and shooting
the Columbia across the Shamrocks
wake, he sent her across the line more
than so yards 20 windward of the chal-
lenger, and with such a good overlap
on her that, according to the official
time, she was only three seconds astern.
The official time of the start was:

The Shamrock was already hopeless
