ATTONTOBILING.

The dream Of the motor speed enthusiast has
come true. The remarka bic rate Of two miles
minute has been accomplished The cry IS still
for more power more speed. and the end is not
yet. The automobile tournament on the Or
rnond-Daytona beach last week more than full
filed the promise for new records and wonderful
fights Of extreme speed. The two mile min
ute trial was postponed until to-day, but the
rate at least was reached by Fred Marriott last
week when he covered a mile in 2S1-5 seconds
Faster than the wind faster than the thunder
ing express train, faster almost than one can
think. was the speed developed. It means that
81 such speed could he maintained and practi-
cauy utilized one could travel in that time from

was a mere snaiIs pace. Unfortunately, there

tournament last week The three days Of rain
carried along by a chill, north wind: the mis-
haps TO some Of the high powered cars; the
childish. sullen and almost disgraceful attitude
OF Hemery I'm refusing TO abide by q ruling OF
the officials. and his consequent suspension; the

tended TO send many home with the firm re-

worked hard and diligently and deserve much
credit, for the speed tournament was success

tournament showed something else and thai is
that probably nowhere in the world can such

GOLF HANDICAP REPORT.
Leighton CaIkins Tells of York
Done by Committee an 1905.

Leighton Calkins, chairman OF the handicap COM
mittee Of the Metropolitan Golf Association, has
prepared a report for the executive committee
showing the work accomplished in the handicap

under the auspices OF the association the handicap DIS

two to six.
1t is a fact. however. that in no instance has a
scratch player finished first. AS Mr. Callins views
it, the ideal situation would be for all to finish at
par result that would be attained provided every
contestant played up his best score average The

FOOTBALL IS REFORMED.

The American intercollegiate football rules
committee has taken long step toward ths
reform Of the game il in fact Il cannot be said to
be actually ACCOMPLISHED The formal adoption
OF the new code has been put off for two weeks
but the changes tentatively made are almost
sure TO be accepted. Even the extremists can
not hut be satisfied with the drastic changes
proposed particularly in the matter Of brutality
and foul play against which the chief hue and
CRY was raised The committee realized the
urgent and compelling need for radical action
and its findings were such as TO satisfy all fair-
minded persons that il was sincere in the effort
10 so remodel the game as TO eliminate the EVIL
features. while retaining as far as possible all
that was good, all that was essential TO the best
Of intercollegiate sports. Football must surely
be played az Harvard next fall. The game has
been saved. Any evasion OF tho rules VIII be
practically impossible hereafter. So stringent
Will be the rules that instead OF there being
premium in q little bit OF holding, little bit OF
of side play little bit of starting before the
ball is put IN play. little bit Of roughing. the
reverse will be the case. These little evasions
which did 60 much TO bring the sport into dis
repute will now be a distinct menace 10 the
eleven which tries 10 employ them in Jeopardlz-
ing the game. There is little doubt that the
technical side OF the game for which less was
ACCOMPLISHED or Saturday, will be improved
quite as much as the ethical side before the
committee has completed its labors Altogether
the committee can be congratulated on what
has been done. II was an earnest OF It's SIN
cerity 10 meet the demand for radical changes.
II will be a new and reformed football that wilk
be played next fall. but a game that VIII SUR

popular with players and OnloOkers. 1t viii stllI
