TRIALS ARE OPEN TO ALL
White Bear Yacht Club Begins Prep.
arations to Lift the Seawan-
haka Cup.

The White Bear Yacht club held
special meeting last night at the Hotel
Aberdeen in st. Paul and gave out
the conditions under which the trial
races to select a challenger for the
Seawanhaka cup will be sailed. A COM
mittee of seven was appointed which
will have absolute power in the trial
races. A syndicate will be formed
which will purchase or build several
boats, and individual members OF the
club will enter boats as they desire.
Entries will also be invited from other
yacht clubs. Every effort will be made
to secure the best possible designs
from the country at large. Mr.. Mower
Of New York, official measurer of the
New York Yacht club, has offered to
give his assistance in securing de-
signs.
The selection of the boat which will
sail in the cup event at Montreal Will
be based not alone upon actual win
nings in the trials, but upon the ability
which the yachts show to sail under
the conditions which prevail at Mon
treal The result of the races at Osh-
kosh this year showed that the ordi-
nary type Of White Bear boat, with
large cockpit and light hull, cannot
compete successfully in rough sea,
such as usually prevails on the ST.
Lawrence.
The trial races will be sailed in pairs
rather than in fleets, as has been the
custom heretofore, and when a boat
has demonstrated without doubt its
superiority over another the winning
boat will be pitted against the winner
Of the second pair and in this manner
the various boats will sail out the trial
races.
The race committee will have auth
GRITTY over the boats and crews both in
the trial races and in the competition
race. Each individual boat owner will
be allowed to sail his own boat, but
after sufficient opportunity is given
and the boat does not show up well,
if the committee sees fit, the boat will
be taken from the owners command
and given to different crew. The
crews on the syndicate boats will be
changed in the same manner, so that
the best sailing qualities of each boat
can be determined. The boats enter
ling from outside clubs will be guided
| by the same rules that apply to White
Bear members.
| 1t is planned to have the trial races
completed before the trial races for the
| Oshkosh regatta. The committee APP
pointed consists of G. w. Griggs, L. p.
Ordway, H. P. Clarke, C. A. Reed. DIR.
Archibald MacLaren, w. Clarkson and
S. G. Stickney. all of whom are famil-
/ lar with the Montreal waters.

SAYS TRAINER is NEEDED
Minnesota Daily Calls on Board to Get
a FitZpatrick

Fitzpatrick.
The Minnesota Daily. the official
student publication Of the state uni
versity, in the following editorial
voices a sentiment which has been
emphatically expressed in various
quarters:
It was Fitzpatrick and not Yost who
deserves the credit for the showing made
by Michigan Saturday.
If it had not been for the magnificent
physical condition Of the wolverines due
to the care given them by their great
trainer, the score would have been about
Il to in favor Of the gophers.
It was Minnesota's poor condition that
alone was responsible for her inability to
wrest victory from host of Yost.
This should teach the athletic manage
ment a lesson. 1t was a hard lesson to
learn, but the Daily hopes that it has been
learned .s,
TO be brief about it. Minnesota needs a
Fitzpatrick.
We can never hope to hold our own
unless we have competent trainer
Far better to have paid So, 900 year
for such man than to have our chances
for the championship spoiled.
The expense is great, but it will be re-
paid one hundred fold.
The Daily does not wish to criticise in
any way the splendid and loyal work of
Trainer Nelson But he knows and all
the rest Of us know that he has not had
the experience and education in this line
Of work that has been the good fortune
of Fitzpatrick to obtain.
Minnesota must have a trainer. 1t is
as important an essential to q football
team as Is a good coach.
We hope that the athletic board will
see the wisdom Of this policy and take
immediate steps to secure a competent
ana experienced man at any cost.

THE UNFAIR FIELD. GOAL
Proposal to Gut It's Value, Down to
Three Points Is Again
Being Urged. Il
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal -
Chicago, Nov. 5.--Why should a
man with an educated leg have the
power to defeat an entire football
eleven? Why should he be allowed to
make as many points either with q
place kick or a drop kick as an entire
eleven working In unison?
Why should not the number Of
points for goal from a place or q
drop kick be cut from five to three?
These and other questions bearing
on the subject have been asked with
frequency and with persistency, es-5
peclally since the game Saturday be-
tween Chicago and Wisconsin, and
the opinion on almost almost every
side is that the rules should be
changed so that three points and not
five be given for a place or drop kick.
Thus the eleven with a good kicker
might have an opportunity Of holding,
another eleven even provided the
kicker were able to make two drop
or place kick goals to the opposing
teams one touchdown. According to
football critics this seems to be the
correct ratio. Let the touchdown and
goal following count for as much as
two field goals. Certainly when a kick
gets the same credit as a touchdown,
somebody is going to suffer, and it is
always the team which is not fortu-
nate enough to have a first-class man
to boot the leather.
Walter MacCornack, of Northwest
ern, who has proved himself to be one
of the foremost coaches in the west,
is in favor of the change, and he
hopes it will be brought about soon.
ct seems to me that to almost any
body this allowing a place or a drop
kick goal to count as much as a
touchdown is unfair" he said. ct
is unfair, because expert kickers are
born more than they are made.
What 1 mean is that out Of forty Or
fifty candidates for football eleven
not one can be developed into a good
kicker. Then, again, some little out
of-the-way college or high school will
turn out a man who without any
coaching will be able to put the ball
over the crossbar five times out Of

THE WIGWAG COACH
Chicago Alumnus Roasts Yost for Sig
mailing from Side Lines.


Certain Chicago newspapers have
branded the statement that Coach
Yost signaled his team from the side
lines during last Saturdays game as
pipe dream" Under these circum-
stances a statement from Chicago
university alumnus who saw the game,
and who had no financial interest in
the outcome, is of interest, because
it shows that the tale had it's founda-
ton in something more than the i'm
agination of Minnesota partizans. G.
Victor Campbell former University
of Chicago man. who attended the
game, says in a letter to the sporting
editor of the Chicago American:
Dear Sir-Last Saturday the Minnesota
eleven, in nearly every scrimmage, had to
play against eleven bodies and twelve
heads, the extra head being the marvel
ously resourceful one that rests on Mr..
Yost's shoulders. AS he travelled back and
forth on the side lines Mr.. Yost made an
elaborate display of signs Of nervousness
especially when Michigan had the ball
and was getting ready for signal.
He took off his hat and held it high or
held it low; he juggled with a cigar, he
crouched he Strengthened up--in short, he
went thru Il surprising variety of calls
themes. But when all his players were
busy. during ae7fumble---surely the most
trying OF all times for an onlooker-Mr.
Yost's we'll balanced nervous organism
showed no more signs of strain than We're
natural under the circumstances.
1t may have been that when Michigan
had the ball Mr. Yost trembled for his
| wonderful offense,' but hundreds of peo-
pie, who like the writer, had no money
up on the contest. would be willing to take
their affidavit that, to the best Of their
observation and belief, these signs Of
nervousness were really part of system
of silent sideline signals by which Mr..
Yost wigwagged to his team advice as to
| the next play or warning as to Minnesota S
probable attack.
The wall that comes UP from Michigan
about Minnesota playing dirty ball is very
late. Why were these claims not made to
the proper officials during the game?
After what was probably the fiercest game
| that has ever been played in the west,
Michigan men exhibit black eyes as a
/ sure proof that Minnesota slugged!
/ Well, there were at least two black eyes
handed out on Saturday last-one to Mr..
Yost's reputation as "thei invincible
coach" the other to his reputation as a
/ sportsman" @ &tit
! In their game with Michigan let the Chi
cago team see to it that they play against
eleven men and not against twelve.
| Beware Of the wigwag coach!

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, Nov. 5.--The welcome ces-
sation of the verbal strife between
Michigan and Minnesota and the
tilities in the Eckersal case, have
deprived the gridiron situation in the
west of all it's enlivening elements.
Affairs in the football world have set
tied down into the dull. uneventful
routine Of practice, destitute of eXcit-
ing incidents, which promises to con-
tinue for the next two weeks uninter-
rupted by the unimportant games
scheduled for next Saturday.
There is remarkable unanimity
among the coaches, just at present,
and the work on at least four of the
big nine" gridirons this week is
largely devoted to the attainment of
single end, the development of
drop Kicker. The success of Ecker
sail at Madison and Muhl at Cham
paign on Saturday has apparently
awakened Yost, Williams, Curtis and
Mccormack to the fact that there is
one effective method of scoring which
has been overlooked in: the develop
ment of their redoubtable scoring ma
chimes.
In consequence, there is a general
crowd of candidates, attempting every
| conceivable form of field goals, is a
daily sight at any2of tllesl eadif BAinsti-S
tutions.
The Chicagos. of course, have tre-
mendOus advantage over their rivals
in this respect, too great, in the, opin
ion of the majority, to be overcome in
the short interval Which.&remains, if
at all. Stage has the advantage of
working with a player of great nat
ural ability at the kicking game, who
only needs coaching, and not much of
that to develop into a second Herself
| berger.
Mccormack, in particular, needs a
man capable Of, scoring five points
| from the thirtyyard line. Super
I ficially, it looks as if the team de-
| twelve points to spare, should fall
| easy victims to the purple proWess.
AS matter Of fact, Wisconsin proved
/ equal, if not superior, to the maroons,
1 despite the latter's improvement since
| the. Northwestern game. in every de-
/ partment save one. and lin that de-
partment the purple has mo adyan-
tage. over the cardinals.
AS a result Mccormack is busy these
! days with a squad of men Dracticing
goals from the field, and he has s,s
lceeded in developing a fairly capable
! kicker in Cotton.
The wolverines are also busy with
! the field goal problem. John Duffy,
| now city attorney of Ann Arbor,
whose stunts as a drop kicker occur
red so long ago that none but the
oldest inhabitants can recollect them.
has instituted school in the art at
Ferry field, with the entire Michigan
squad as pupils.
The veterans instruction is showing
results already and punters who can
average forty yards are plentiful,
1 while Garrels, freshman tackle,
IIeston and othe IS have manifested
4 considerable skill as drop kickers.
! There is little probability, however,
that Sweeley's place will be satisfac-
/ torily filled this season.
