BROWNS GRIDlROa ARTISTS

Because OF the rain OF yesterday and
the consequent muddy field, and the fact
the football players required some rest
after their hard games for the past three
weeks the varsity players were allowed
day of leisure yesterday, which was
greatly appreciated. The remainder OF
the squad was out, however, and Gam
mons and Murphy worked the subs hard
and vigorously. The men were given
lively work in signal practice and the
result was decidedly encouraging.
II Is proposed TO give the men on the
college eleven chances 10 play I'm the
games with the minor colleges such
as Rutgers, Boston College and Tufts,
and IL Is possible that some OF the talent
will develop considerably Ii Is the inten-
ton Of the coaches TO work out the men
whenever possible. but the games with
Columbia and Lafayette will require
every energy and ali the strength OF the
team to win. Both of these elevens are
strong and while Brown Is In fine form
and the team is probably as well devel-
oned as any team at this time OF the
season, II is not proposed TO take any
chances.
Outside of the possibility OF injury,
which would keep the men from the team.
AZ is expected that Brown will continue
TO develop until the final game of the
.esson at Manchester with Dartmouth.
There is the best OF feeling existing be-
tween the players, the coaches and the
MANAGEMENT and the squad has been
treated fairly throughout the season.
brown has been a good drawing team
this year and IL the games In the re-
mainder Of the season prove as profitable
Brown ought to have successful season.

year. will again be her skipper next sea

for the building Of the new cup candidate

last week.
NEW YORK RULES ADOPTED.
At a special meeting of the Eastern
! Yacht club. held at the st. Botolph club
at Boston. last evening. the new rating
rule for racing yachts recently adopted
by the New York Yacht club were unani-
mously adopted. There was no diner
ence OF opinion among the large number
OF members present.
The rule Is intended to discourage the
building Of so-called freak boats" and
10 promote a healthy. seaworthy type OF
racing yacht. and especially one which
will command a good price as cruiser
when her racing days are over The
| rule, which now stands adopted by the
two leading yacht clubs of the country.
| is as follows:
Rating measurement Is obtained by d.
viding the product Of the length and the
| square root Of the sail area by hve times
| the cube root of the displacement
The length Is obtained as follows: To
| the extreme beam wherever found add
| the greatest beam at the load water line
| and divide the sum of the two by eight
| At the distance from the middle line OF
| hull on deck lay OF line parallel tc
| the middle line Take the extreme
length of the hull on this line and to II
| add the length of the load water nne OF
the vertical projection OF this line to tho
| water-line plane. Divide the sum OF these
| lengths by two and the quotient is the
| length OF the boat.
In computing sail area the new rule
taxes everything. even TO the curving oi
1 the sail on the leach or foot. The tri'
| angle measurement is done away with
/ so that that part Of the sail outside oi
the line under the old rule. 60 the peah
| of the mainssil, does not escrpe.
The new rule practically bars the scov
| type of boat, as the rule by which length
is computed makes the new length great
1 ly exceed the water line length. the for
| mer measurement, and by making th'
displacement a divisor the rating Is mad,
still more excessive.

CHAMPION HORSE OF YEAR

The season OF stake racing being over.
horserfien are engrossed with the ques-
tion OF the champion horse OF the year.
Opinions are pretty well divided. but IL 10
probable that Hermis 10 the horse favor
ed by the majority. Since the opening
day OF Saratoga meeting. when he beat
q field Of sprinters In the first race over
the new track, right down the line 10
Morris Park. the son OF Hermence did not
meet a defeat. He beat all the best
horses In training at all sorts OF weights,
and under all kinds OF conditions. That
he is the champion three-year-old no ono
disputes. Not only that, but he Is one OF
the best three -year-olds seen In years.
The champion cup horse Is Advance
Guard, who wound up a season replete
with stirring incidents by winning the
Morris Park weight-for-age race on Sat
urday, which gave his owners possession
OF the historic Woodlawn Vase. Advance
Guard il the best cup horse since the
days of the great Ben Holiday. The son
OF Great Tom and Nellie Van, goes into
winter quarters as sound as the day he
was foaled. and will be nominated for all
the leading handicaps next year. Gold
Heels has friends. who think that but for
the accident in the Brighton cup he
would have retired with the honors that
have come TO Advance Guard. Gold Heels
surely was a good horse, so long as he
was in the arena. Any horse that can
win the Suburban and Brighton Handi-
caps. the Brighton Cup and the Advance
Stakes, In which he defeated Advance
Guard. is entitled to the highest distinc-
ton. He will go down I'm history as one
OF the best horses ever campaigned I'm the
East AS to the two-year-old champion.
there Is none The best OF the year have
defeated one another so repeatedly that
It is moot question who is the cham
pion. Aceful. Grey Friar and Irish Lad
are admittedly the best colts Eugenia
Burch stands out among the fillies.
