The Hallowell football team played
it's first game away from home. sat
urday afternoon, at VassalbOrO. with
the strong team of that place. Inc
BOYS did not get there until 4.35 and
it was agreed to play one 25-minute
half instead of two 15-minute ones.
Vassalboro Outweighed the visitors
five pounds to a man and this with
the fine coaching of Allen from Colby
gave them great confidence and they
expected to run up large score. This
same Vassalboro team held Colby down
to the score of 16 to 5 and had also
held down the heavy Kent's Hill team.
The game throughout was of the
fastest kind. First Vassalboro and
then HallOwell would have the BAH.
Hallowell made some fine gains and
should have scored, but the bail was
lost in a mixup and then it was rushed
down the field for touchdown by
Vassalboro. The darkness helped
them. for no one could see where the
ball was.
The touchdown was on fake play
and was carried so yards in the dark
ness. Hallowell felt bad that they
were scored on, for If it had been light
Vassalboro could not have scored. as
time was up as the ball went over. ana
Hallowell could have held them easily
for two minutes. Still they were more

THE NEW MEASUREMENT
OF Yachts Will Be Great Departure
from Old Methods.

New York, Oct. 19.-The committee
on measurement of the New YORK
Yacht Club. appointed to consider the
ACCESSIBILITY of change in the rating
rule. which has been found fault with
because of the ease with which. under
it, freak boats are being developed, Will
submit its report to the club. Thursday
evening, at it's general meeting.
The committee recommends new
rating rule, by which the rating meas
urement is found by multiplying the
length of the yacht, obtained as pro-
vided for. by the square root of the sail
area and dividing the result by five
times the cube root of the displacement.
This is a radical change from the old
formula.
This report is of international impor-
lance and will affect the measurement
of yachts not only in this country but
in Europe.
The correspondence between Sir
Thomas LiptOn and Commodore Led
yard, made public. Thursday night,
disclosed the fact that the new meas
urement, if adopted, will not apply to
the cup races next year.
