YALE FEARS COLUMBIA
GAME NEXT SATURDAY
Old Ellis Poor Showing Against West
Point Eleven the Direct
Cause

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. 26.-The
fact that there is but week left in
which to complete preparations for the
Columbia game gives the Yale coaches
much cause for nervousness when the
results of Saturdays games are taken
into consideration. Columbia show
ing against Pennsylvania. and Yale's
failure to score more than two touch
downs makes next Saturdays contest
something to be dreaded. The Ellis can
not reach their best play this week be-
cause of the three games following, and
consequently must sake Columbia as one
of the hard games OF the schedule and
not special event
The West Point game is not at all
satisfactory, and the feeling is gener-
al here that Yale stands a good
chance of being defeated by the Morn
ingside team. The Yale men are far
from satisfied with the decisions of UNI
pire McCrscken. They did not consider
West Points work in receiving the ball
at Yale's 2O-yard line any more OF an
attempt at a fair catch than was Rock
wells, which was. however, given them.

be kept out of practice for a few days.

.EFFIE D. A WINNER
IN LAST YACHT RACE
Accident Enables Her to Win From
Whitman Osgood's Fast
Sloop Title

The last yacht race for the season
of the Corinthian Yacht Club was sailed
over the Georgetown channel course yes
terday afternoon by seven of the pref
test sloops on the river. and when the
four mile course had been completed the
Effie D. was a winner over the Janet
by a little over a minute. The Vesper
was third.
But for an accident Whitman Osgood's
Title would have been a sure winner.
She led from the start, off Cumber-
lands boathouse, 20 the turn, the red
buoy nearest the Long Bridge. to mid
way up the run home, when a sudden
blast of wind blew the peak-block out
Of the masthead. and she drifted ashore
on the Virginia mud banks, the Janet
taking the lead. closely followed by the
Effie d. 1t was nip and tuck between
these sloops for the remainder Of the
journey. but the Effie d. won by a
slight margain from the Janet with the
+ Vesper third. the Skip fourth, and the
Naomi fifth
The race was the last OF series of
three. The Janet won the first two, and
consequently, the championship of the
club.
An oyster roast was held on Analostan
Island by the members of the club.

GOLF WIDOWS" RAISE
A CRY OF COMPLAINT
English Women Say Ancient Game
Has Alienated Affections of
Many Husbands.

LONDON. Oct 26-Through the
columns of the Scotsman" the golf
widows" of the kingdom have raised
their voices in compiainings against the
alienation of the affections Of their hus-
bands by the ancient and honorable
game of golf.
1t is alleged by hundreds OF wives
that devotion TO golf has Slapped the
energy Of their spouses and weaned
them from home and the companion
ship OF their wives
Instead of uniting with his wife in
the usual pleasures of the hearth or
society, the golfomaniac barely takes
time 10 eat and sleep at home, and
spends every spare moment on the links.
He talks of naught but golf, reads,
golfng journals 20 the exclusion Of his
Bible and the newspapers, and con-
siders golf sticks the finest sort OF
decoration for the drawing and the
dining room.
Many of the wives assert that they
are in the relation OF mere housekeep-
ers to their infatuated better halves
since the golf fever began TO rage In
the mems blood. and that the real
widow is not more lonely and deserted
than they, bereft as they are of the
most vital elements which tend to pro-
vide married life with its chief charm
