ICE YACHTING JUST
NOW BEST IN YEARS
Minnetonka and Calhoun Sailors
Making the Most Of the
Opportunity.

Ice yachtsmen are rejoicing in some
Of the finest early winter sport in
years. The winter set in just right to
make conditions ideal. There has been
almost no snow since the ice formed.
There has been little dust anC other
waste blowing about to spoil the run
ming and there has been no riling or
spreading in the ice. This does away
with the danger and nuisance of ice
hummocks and ridges and open water.
For some years the sport has been
somewhat on the wane. The Mime
tonka sailors lost their club house,
there were no big matches, and tho
sport was confined to few enthusiasts
who went out and sailed solitaire races
with themselves. At Calhoun, which is
more accessible, there has been con-
siderable sport, but there is not sui
icient room for the sport in it's best
form. At Lake City where the cham

New York, Dec. 16.-Walter Camp in
the current number of Golfers Weekly,
names his All-American football team,
placing Walter Eckersall. of Chicago,
in the position of quarterback. The
maroon player is the only western man
to gain the distinction of Camps real
ization of first honors, but many other
western gridiron heroes are mentioned
prominently for high rank in Amer
lean football.
says Camp, "getting from fifty to sixty
across Michigan's goal line was the
kick that eventually resulted in safe
ty, defeating Michigan.
GAS a tackler, there is no better man
on the gridiron today. He is one of the
most accurate passers, if not the most
accurate, in the country today, and
Chicago's game requires number of
intricate passes which must be unus-
ually well done.'
Marshall Mentioned.
Catlin of Chicago also came in for
high praise, and Marshall of Minnesota
is called by Mr.. Camp the fastest man
on the gridiron in getting down the
field. "Curtis, the Michigan tackle,
would be something of a revelation in
the east,' said Camp. Bertke of Wis
consin and Schultz of Michigan were
also given high tribute by the expert.
Camp said concerning the Yale cap
tain:
FShevlin of Yale stood in class by
himself, and there was no one that
could match him either in power or
quality. Shevlin covered kicks admir-
ably and was as sure tackler as any
end could be.
Glaze Of Dartmouth is made Shevlin s
runningmate, "having,',, says Camp,
call the qualities for the end position,
and in addition those of running half
back.'
Shuttle Praised.
Lamson of Pennsylvania and Squires
Of Harvard are given the tackle posi-
tions. Trip of Yale and Burr of Har.
ward are made the guards, the former
pronounced the most capable man of
the season. Of Schultz, the Michigan
man, Camp says: "Schulte is probably
the best man in the west today. He il
fairly active and safe on defense, his
reliability has been tested over and
over again, and it has been well nigh
impossible to gain ground thru or over
him. -..u ZIG
Torrey Of Pennsylvania is considered
a most remarkable center by the Yale
authority and far and away the SUI
perior Of all others. Roome of Yale
and Hubbard Of Amherst are given the
halfback positions with Mccormack of
Princeton the place at fullback.

DULUTH PREPARING
FOR BIG BONSPIEL
Curriers' Preparing for Big Time at the
January Meeting.

The Northwestern Curling association
has issued a circular setting forth the
attractions of the thirteenth annual
bonspiel to be held at Duluth, COM
mencing Monday, Jan. Is. This circu-
lar, which has been sent to all the curl
ing clubs Of the northwest, is very con-
vincing.
Special rates on all railroads and at
the hotels have already been secured.
For the sport itself, there will be ten
sheets Of ice under, one roof. This
tournament draws all the best men of
the northwest, and some fine sport is
promised.
The call urges all contestants to come
to Duluth on Sunday, Jan. IA, so that
they may be ready for the fray bright
and early Monday morning. Further
particulars can be obtained by writing

small. Inc heaVy mOdelS are prdctlcal-
ly confined to the small boats.
For speedy, strenuous sport ice
boating is one Of the safest The cars
are low and spill seldom causes a
serious accident. The lighting speed is
attained, the boats are easily managed
and can Withstand handling that would
be impossible in water. They can be
capsized, but by kind arrangement
with fate they slow down the nearer
they come to- the going over point and
as a rule neither the occupants or the
boats are hurt.
The sport is full Of tricks in han
ding that will give speed by taking
advantage of them. It is not SO long
ago that local sailors used to sit up
to handle their tillers, but now they
have learned to lie fiat and do it with
the feet leaving the hands free to per-
form other work. A good hand on the
runner plank can accomplish wonders
in changing wind and under special
conditions and there are some accom-
plished plank runners in the Calhoun
and Minnetonka clubs.
The trolley to Excelsior has started
the sport on the big lake and if the
proper conditions continue there will
be some interesting matches between
the Minnetonka and Calhoun boats with
possibly a few speeders from down
river in the game.

In the last few years the local ice
sailors have learned the Importance of
having the proper sort of sails. For
years they used the rigs off their sail

ice sail must, be flat to spill the wind
readily whereas the regulation yacht
sail is baggy to hold it. Local sports

DATES SET FOR TRIALS.
Messrs- Lipscomb and Fields to Be
Heard Late in Month.

The case of Andrew A. Lipscomb and
Thomas n. Fields, both prominent as
members of the local bar, who are In
dicted for the embezzlement of nearly
$4,000 placed in their hands as receivers
of the defunct Washington Beneficial
Endowment Association, will probably be
called for trial the latter part Of this
month.
The Hamilton murder trial Is set for the
18th instant. 1t will be followed by the
trial of John L. O'Brien, accused of en-
bezzling about $4,000 from Frank Hume
At the conclusion of the OBrien hearing
United States Attorney Beach will be pre-
pared to call the Lipscomb-Fields case for
trial, and the same will then proceed unless
the defense should object to going ahead
and the court should sustain the objection
The indications are that the Crawford
Lorenz- Machen Post Office Department
conspiracy trial will not occur until the first
week of May, principally because Of the
fact that former Postmaster General
Wynne is now on the way to London, Eng
land, and will not return until about the
1st of next month. Mr.. Wynne will be an
important witness for the government In
the Crawford-Lorenz-Ma chen trial.

HEARD ON APPEAL.
Case Of Alleged Violation of Smoke
Law,

The Court of Appeals this afternoon heard
arguments in connection with the case of
Francis H. Duehay, plaintiff in error,
against the District of Columbia. Mr.. Due
hay was convicted of violating the "anti-
smoke law at the Rochambeau apart
melt house on Connecticut avenue be-
tween H and 1 streets.
Attorney Samuel Maddox. representing
Mr. Duehay, explained to the Court of APP
peals that the Rochambeau Is a new
structure, and that within five minutes
after the fires were first lighted there last
October Inspector Wollard called and in
formed Mr.. Duehay that complaint had
been made because of the emission of smoke
from the chimneys of the structure.
1t is claimed, among other things, that
the Rochambeau is not public house"
because it has no cafe, no bar, no barber
shop, no stores and no cigar or newsstand
attached to- it. and therefore is exempted
from prosecution under the "anti-smo ke"
law. But the judge in the Police Court,
Attorney Maddox declared, convicted Mr..
Duehay because the Rochambeau was too
big a house to emit smoke"
The appeal was argued in behalf of the
District of Columbia by Assistant Corpor-
alton Counsel Stephens.
