GOOD SEASON FOR
AMERICAN YAcHTSMEN.

Those who have watched the Yacht
Ing of America for many years have
generally said that the home sport was
better in season in which there was
to be no race for the Americas Gun.
and the summer of 1900 seems to prove
the truth of the assertion. Ceramic
there never have been SO many fleets IN
the racing field. and public interest has
peen well divided among them, with
out being concentrated upon one i'm
portant contest In such a way as IN
cause lesser affairs to be practicable
forgotten. This season the racing of
the smallest craft has received it's full
share of attention. and it is a we'll
known fact that owners in all classes
are influenced toward earnest and con-
slant effort when they feel themselves
TO be within the general observation.
Not long ago catboat racing had a
great vogue. but people lost interest in
catboats. and now the racing of tins
class has almost disappeared from the
regattas of the largest and most i'm
portant clubs. The virtues of the dou-
BILE sails and the safety of the newer
ballasted fin kcels do not account for
the whole of the change, and fashion
has To be reckoned with when certain
KIND of boat seems to fade out OF sight,
like the hoopskirt, fob chain and heavy
neck cloths of former years.
The introduction OF the knockabout,
followed in the last two years by the
raceabout, has done good deal to al
ter the nature of the present regattas
and has made yachtsmen accustomed
to certain virtues in the designing of
small yachts which will not probably
be relinQuished except in favor of some
thing better. The general prosperity
of the sport. which has always owed
so much to the sailing of small vessels,
Is now in greater debt than ever to the
coming Of the raceabout fleet.

GENDER OF ruE AuroMopILE.

Some discussion has arisen among
automobilists as TO the gender of the
horseess vehicle. He or she that is the
question. The Academic Franchise has
lately set out to determine the matter,
and. 1t is said. has arrived at the con-
clusion that he" is the proper pronoun
for the automobile. This. in spite of
the fact that yachts, steam engines and
other inanimate means of travel are
She's" according to popular usage.
Judging from the irresponsible and
illogical actions of some automobiles
and their proneness to do the uneX-
pected she" is entirely suitable. Yet
some automobiles are steady, reliable
and sure. so that "he" seems 10 be the
proper caper. However, there already
is trouble enough between the sexes,
and perhaps the best way of settling
the point is to compromise ny referring
to The automobile as sit" Then it
could be "he" or She" according to
his" or "her" nature.

fall was the great improvement. In grid
iron tactics shown by the western in
situations. This is almost wholly due
to the fact that most of the universi-
ties west of The Alleghanies now en-
ploy the best coaches turned out by the
older institutions in the east. Phil King
will again direct the University of Wis
consin team. while Langdon Lea, better
known as "Biny" the great Princeton
coach, has been engaged to take charge
of the University OF Michigan eleven.
Stagg, the old Yale player, will. OF
course. be in his place at Chicago,
while numerous other well known east
ern players will have charge of other
teams.
Most of the western elevens have al
ready started to train. though no hard
work will be INDUCED in until cooler
weather sets in. At the University of
Chicago the prospects for n first class
team seem 20 be rather gloomy, not
| because there is lack of good mate
rial. but because several of the best
men were behind in their studies last
| term, and are consequently ineligible
for the eleven unless their work in the
near future is such as TO enable them
to pass their credits.
Michigan has lost but four men from
her last years team, but they leave a
large hole. They are Sickle tackle

Tending team will he penalizcd ten
yards for every offense. Heretofore the

the penalty too severe. The only other
change relating to the play is one per-

carry it back 20 yards when possession
IS desired and the required five yards
have not been made in four downs.
I Now team can carry the ball back
but once. and If not advanced the re-
quired distance il goes to the other
side. The ban must change sides after
being taken back before it can be car
ried back a second time.
Last season it was noticed that most
of the points were made by what is
I known as straight. old fashioned foot
bail ana that the winning teams were
the ones that did not indulge in tricks
and fancy play. What spectators
wish 10 see is more kicking and run
ming and less of the heavy mass plays.

NATIONAL TuEATEn FOR GnEEcn

The National Greek theater. which is
now completed. was made possible
through the liberality of the king who
will have control of it's administration
in return for his liberality. The most
modern appliances have been used in
the new building. and the stage. illumi-
mated by electric light, was designed
by the stage engineer of the IIofburg
in Vienna. The theater is ready to be
opened but the necessary actors have
not vet been found.
For various reasons the we'll known
actors OF the day in Greece are not
considered desirable for the new state
theater. so as few as possible of them
will be engaged. y royal college OF
acting has been opened under the d.
rection of the king, and "a pupils are
to be prepared for the stage under the
direction of n teacher who has received
his education in London and Paris.
Defamation, pantomime and other
branches of their art are to be taught
to these young persons by Greeks who
have studied in France and Germany.
Every year % pupils will be taken, and
the new National theater expects TO be
supplied with n lot of now national act
ors within very short time.

n CCORDING to very prominent
: "a football expert the most formida-
= BILE problem confronting the va
+, tious coaches and captains of the lead
| ing football teams this year is how to
! develop an attack that will be strong
| enough to cope with and overcome the
defensive tactics of opposing teams.
/ Great progress has been made in the
| past four years in scientific playing of
the popular autumn game. Whereas Il
! few seasons ago the defensive part of
the playing was not nearly so strong
as the offensive, matters are reversed
nowadays. Big scores were much more
frequent between teams that were sup
posed to be evenly matched than they
are now. and it was not uncommon for
one side to retain possession of the ball
for long period.
The result of this was that many
coaches set to work to strengthen the
defensive play of their elevens, and in
some cases neglected almost altogether
the other features of the game. Until
the last two seasons Harvard lost
many games because her men did not
know how to advance with the ball
although they were away ahead of
their opponents when playing on the
defensive.
Football is like baseball in this re-
spect. Fielding and pitching have gone
ahead of the Improvement in batting.
AS result one does not see large
scores nowadays, and pitchers battles
are more common.
In another weeks time all the prom
inent college teams will have got into
training. Several of them, indeed, have
been at work for some time. The out
look at Princeton for turning out an
other champion eleven is regarded as
very good. although Captain Pell is the
only veteran left in the line. The back
field. however. is practically intact, and
the incoming freshmen, together with
last years substitutes. are expected to
furnish good material for the required
forwards. Reiter will probably play Mt
