SPORTS At COLUMBI4.
Can't EUen Kick a Football on Uni
UerSity HEIGHTS.

Although no official action has been taken by the
Columbia authorities in regard to the interfrater-
nifty football movement which has been started on
Mornngsde Heights, President Butler evidently
has ordered the superintendent OF grounds pro-
hbit even the kicking of football Columbia
property. Yesterday morning a number of stu
dents were running through a practice game on
South Field. when a proctor came over from the
administration Offices in the library and told the
woud-be players that they would have TO 20 else
where with their football.
The Delta Tau Delta team which was defeated
by Won Saltza Friday last. has not yet recOv-
cred, and moro than one-half OF the eleven have
been laid up in bed for the last four days. Mean
while Won Saltza has arranged for another game.
This time he VIII play Sigma Chi. Won Saltza
will. OF course. be assisted by a few of his Beta
Theta PI brethren Buck Robinson who was
a substitute on the O5 varsity team. Is the main
stay of the Sigma Chi eleven. and II is expected
that the Beta Thets will have their hands fun in
what promises to be the best game Of the series.
An effort is being made by the Columbia Univer-
sty Track Association 10 have the Amateur Ath-
letic Union sanction the offering OF a good prize
for a special six hundred yard to be held at
the Columbia indoor games late in February in
Madison Square Garden. The championship at
this distance has long been matter of dispute
and If tho Amateur Athletic Union will permit
the contest much will be done in the way OF clear
ing up the question. Sheppard, Parsons, Taylor
and HiIlman will be invited 10 start from scratch.
Each OF these men has claim TO the title which
has never been been definitely decided. Paul Pill

SPEEDY BALLOON TRIP
Leo SteUens and Passenger Sail Tsro
Miles AbOUe Connecticut.

After one of the speediest voyages on record
the Stevens 21 balloon. which started from
Pittsfeld. Mass, at 12:35 p. m, yesterday with
Leo Stevens as pilot and A. Holland Forbes "a
a passenger. descended on the farm of Henry
Clark, in Orange. Conn. at 415 p. m The
descent was made safely and without damage to
the balloon. The aeronauts intended to go to
New York. but were forced to drop because Of
strong current which was carrying them out
over Long Island Sound
Mr.. Stevens said that the average height ar
which the balloon travelled was two miles. and
the greatest speed forty miles an hour. The
air IN the higher attitudes. he said, was COM
fortably warm. On leaving the grounds az
Pittsfield the balloon rose nearly six hundred
feet before it was caught by current and
carried east at a fair rate of speed.
At 2:l5 D. m. it passed over winsted Conn
travelling high in the air. and with considerable
speed. 1t was then headed directly south
Much ballast was thrown out and frequent
flashes seemed to indicate that the aeronauts
were using glass of some sort At 3:25 the
balloon was sighted over Waterbury Conn
rapidly going south IT was visible for almost
forty minutes and the higher points in the city
were crowded with eager spectators. The car
at one period seemed to be about five hundred
feet above the ground and the occupants could
be seen plainly. When some ballast was thrown
out the balloon ascended to about twelve hun
dred feet and disappeared down he NaugatucJ,
Valley
Shortly before o'clock the Stevens 21 passed
over Wheeler's Farms. near Milford Conn, so
near TO the earth that it was at first thought
the occupants were about to make a landing
AT 2:45 the balloon passed over Torrington,
Conn, and telegraphic reports show that II was
visible from Monterey. New Marlboro, Tyrins-
ham. Lee and Lenox. Conn.
MI Stevens said the voyage was without Incl
dent and. after having the balloon packed for
shipment. he left with Mr.. Forbes for New York

There was a wild scramble to-day to get seats
for the Yale-Harvard game Saturday. In
spite of the fact that eight thousand tickets
were received from Cambridge, there were not
enough to go round.
In talking with a number of coaches to-day
not one could be found who would predict that
Yale would beat Harvard by more than two
touchdowns, The feeling is growing that the
game will be hard fought and fairly close.

EMPIRE TRACK UPHELD.
Court of appeals Decides against
State Racing Commission.

Albany, Nov. 19.-The Court of Appeals to-
day affirmed the order of the Appellate Division
Second Department granting a peremptory writ
Of mandamus to the Empire City Tfottng Club.
directing the State Racing Commission to issue
a license to the club to conduct running races
and steeplechases for the year 1907 at it's track
near Yonkers. The opinion is per curiam, and
says in part
Though we do not concur in the doctrine of
the majority of the learned Appellate Division
that the commission has no discretionary powers
over the grant of a license and that it's judg-
ment related purely to the sufficienCy of the
acts constituting the corporation and not to
consideration of public or private policy, we
are still of the opinion that the order of the
Appellate Division should be affirmed The
object of the statute vesting the author
ity in the commission was to see that rae
ing in this state was properly and honestly
conducted, not to prevent competition between
the several racing associations nor to secure any
special pecunary benefit to any of them. Though
we assume that the appellants have acted in
entire good faith and in the belief that they
possessed the authority they have sought to
exercise, must nevertheless hold that in point
of law their reasons for rejecting the applca
tion of the relator capricious and arbi
trary."
This decision places the Empire City Trotting
Club in the same position the WestChester
