DEMAND AMATEUR
YACHT HELMSMEN
BARRING PROFESSIONAL SKIP
PERs THREATENS ROW
M Massachusetts, Yachting Association
to Consider Question Which In
wolves Eligibility of Frank
Martin of Eleanor

The question of having only amateur
helmsmen on board racing yachts OF
the sachusetts Yacht Racing asso-
citation will be considered either at
special meeting called for the purpose
or at the regular March meeting. The
question has often been considered, but
no strict rule was ever adopted to that
effect by the association, although sew
eral clubs have it on their books. 1t
does not prevent a<professional from
being on board the boat. but an anna
teur must have the tiller and steer the
boat at all times during the races.
This will hit the 22-rater Eleanor
rather hard, as her skipper, Frank
Martin, is professional and clever
hand in boat, although she won with
Louis Clerk, a clever amateur, at the
stick. Capt Martin will be on the boat,
and his advice will be of great service,
even if he does not actually sail the
boat. He will no doubt be able to get
good amateur for most of the races, II
the rule goes into effect.
In speaking of professionals on board
racing craft, it Is said that the Flea
nor sailed several races at Jamestown
where only professionals were on board,
when the rules stated that part of the
crew must be amateurs. She won the
Upton cup and could have been pro-
tested upon these grounds, but no one
felt like so doing.
The Manhasset lost the kings cup on
remeasurement. or at least should, as
she was found out of the class. and II
this decision should be sustained, the
Capsicum would be awarded the trophy
Now comes a rumor to the effect that
the Capsicum is to be remeasured. 1t
will be interesting to see how she
fares when the official tape goes over
her. II was the owner of the Capsieum
c. Sherman Hoyt, who protested the
Manhasset on measurement.
More attention will be paid to the
measurement OF boats built to the

knee is bruised; Huppert, whose muscles
in his kicking leg are strained; Stoney,
with bad ankle; Casey, whose knee ts
out, and Keim, whose ankle Is sprained.
Now, at the very last moment, Coach
Hempel is compelled to take Holleran out
of center and put in Phillips, whose reg
ular position is left guard, while Rhein-
schild is substituted for Phillips.
Holleran had his shoulder broken yes
terday, and this robs the team of one of
it's pest men.
ST. Vincent's will have the following
subs on the side lines: Brannon, left end;
De Yuberrando, quarter; Keim, right half:
Lamar, left half; Murray, at guard; Beat
son, at half; and Bienhoffer, at tackle.
Outweigh St. Vincent's Twenty Pounds
When Utah trots out against Walter
Hempel's eleven the contrast will be
actually painful to the friends of the
locals. The Utah team is a whopper.
1t has the biggest back field this year
of any team in the intermountain region.
The men are all heavy and fast. Convlll,
fullback, weighs 1914 pounds; Richardson,
right half, 10 pounds; Russell, left half,
1856 pounds; Grant. quarter, 14O pounds.
The Mormon line is also comparatively
heavy, and taking the team as whole
it is the best eleven Utah ever had
OOHNlll Is Ol6 VI Tie 6iCeltOSI PuAAsSAS
in the history of the university, and this
is saying a good deal when the record
of the famous Bennion is remembered
Coach Maddox, who was one of the
greatest football players of his time,
and who for two years was chosen from
Michigan's team as all-American tackle,
has hammered Yosts system into his
men. Utah is very tricky, uses quick
shooting plays in rapid succession and
resorts to such strategies as running the
same play from four to six successive
times at a given secret notice, all with
out signals. 1t is said that Utah does
this, for instance, when the ball goes
out of bounds, and there are many other
stages of the game when tricks of this
nature are used.
When seen at the Hollenbeck last night
Coach Maddox said THE fellows
seemed to have enjoyed the trip from
Salt Lake City to Los Angeles very
much. My boys are not in the best of
condition, as several received injuries in
Los Angeles herald., 1907-11-02

the game last Saturday against the Colo
rado School of Mines.
'I believe the game with st. Vincent's,
however, will be a hard one, and If Coach
Hempel is as clean a coach as we have
found him in managing affairs we will be
cure of a fine, clean game"
Dope on Utah's Best Men
Following is some dope on the best
Utah players:
Capt Russell is one of the fastest half
backs in the west and stands in a class
by himself as running half. He has
plenty of experience, and this is his fourth
year on the varsity team.
Richardson, although a freshie, is one
of the most promising candidates and is
a good running mate for Russell. He is
fast heavy and strong and is fine on de-
fense. He had three years experience on
Salt Lake high before coming to Utah.
Bryant, right tackle, is one of the best
defensive men in the Rocky mountain
district. He is said to have been respon-
sible for not allowing the Golden Miners
to make first down more than once IN
the first half. This is his third year as
tackle on Utah.
Seeley, left guard, played year at
Stanford. He is a stalwart linesman and
is the heaviest man. on the line. weighing
1914 pounds. He is counted on to hold his
own against any man in the west
ConviI Averages Forty-five Yards
Convill, the star, plays full, but may
not be able to enter the game to-
day because of a bodily wrenched knee.
An examination at the Hollenbeck last
night proved that Convill's knee is in a
precarious condition, but Coach Maddox
hopes to reduce the swelling. Convill
played a Ssjar on Purdue. His injury will
be a great handicap to Utah, according to
Coach Maddox, as the bad knee is on
his kicking leg, and Convill is the main
punter, having an average of forty-five
yards, while he has kicked the pigskin
sixty yards.
Red Morris will play center. Morris
played three years with Salt Lake high,
and this is his first year at Utah. Coach
Maddox says Morris handles the ball bet
ter than any other center he ever saw. He
is also strong on offense opening holes In
the line. Morris takes the place of Peter.
son, the u. U. center, who weighs 225
pounds. Peterson was compelled to re-

t4atA4s*.E.Et4ss..t

main home because of a wrenched knee
and Maddox wants to save him for the
Colorado university game which takes
place at Boulder two weeks from today.
Palm, who played right guard
against the miners, was also left In
Salt Lake, and Olsen will play in his
place. This is a lucky thing for St
Vincent's, as Palm is one of Utah's
stars, weighs 1914 pounds and has
played four years with the varsity
He is considered one of the best line
men in the west.
Grant, at quarter, had four years
experience on Salt Lake high. He
shows great generalship is sure at
handling punts and is very inspiring to
the other players in handling his team
and directing plays. Grant is a sure
tackler in back field.
Seventeen Came Along
Besides the regular eleven Coach
Maddox brought along Anderson, who
will play full If Convilps knee fails to
recover, three subs, Ferguson, Houston
and Moore, and the teams favorite,
Trainer Charles Ledger, making a total
of seventeen men.
Coach Maddox last night gave out
the following prospective lineup, with
the corresponding weights of the play
ers, but a casual survey of the team as
a whole would indicate that Utah aver
ages at least 1S0 pounds to the man
Holsworth, left end, 14O pounds; Home,
left tackle, 40 pounds; Seeley. left
guard, 194 pounds; Morris, center, 148
pounds; Olsen, right guard, ITS piunds;
Bryant, right tackle, ITO pounds; Snow,
right end, 168 pounds; Grant, quarter,
140 pounds; Russell, captain, left half.
1856 pounds; Richardson, right half, ITO
pounds; Convill. full, 1914 pounds.
Anderson who may take Convill's
place, weighs 150 pounds.
These figures are all given out by
Coach Maddox, and by his own state
ment, the Utah eleven weighs 1858 pounds,
or an average of over 1853 pounds to the
man.
Utah Averages Close to 1870
Such a statement is simply absurd as
one look at the Mormons is enough to
convince uisinterested person that the
team averages between 175 and 1S0
pounds.
The st. Vincent team averages 1854
pounds.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-11-02

ITAH UNIVERSITY and st. Vincents
college football teams meet this after
~ noon at Fiesta park in game which
hardest fought contest of the season in
California
On today's result hangs the gridiron
reputation of the locals, for St. Vincents
faces the most dangerous adversary that
it could possibly choose from all the teams
of the west this year.
Utah has the record of never having
been defeated during 1906 and 1907 and
Just week ago the Mormons capped the
climax of a long string of victories by
taking the scalps of the Colorado Miners,
and thus winning the championship of the
Rocky mountain region.
But st. vincent's promises to give a
good account of itself, and Coach Walter
Hempel claims that his eleven will be able
to fight Utah to standstill and keep the
visitors down to either tie or, at the
worst, two touchdowns.
The ST. Vincent's men realize what the
game means to them, and from their at
titude will play like demons. Today's
game places bulldog tenacity and Irish
fighting blood against weight, age, ex-
perience speed and over confidence.
ST. Vincent's may cause as great sem
sation in the western football world by
beating Utah as the Mormons created
when they whipped the Colorado School of
mines, but the chances are against the
locals.
Taylor, Stoney Casey and Gait are
looked upon as st. Vincent's stars. while
Utahs best men are Convill, Seeley, Bry-
ant Morris and Richardson.
The locals have had tough luck with an
army of cripples, including such import
ant players as Frenchy Lamar, whose

ever before, in order that boats shall
not race in classes in which they do
not properly belong.
The committee on scantlings for
classes @ and p will wrestle with the
matter again this winter and will en-
deavor to get UP an equitable table
for the boats to be built for next sea-
son. and it is hoped that good cabins
will be insisted upon with comfortable
accommodations for the crews, so that
the assertion that the boats are mere
racing shells will not be constantly
made as was the case this season re-
garding the Massachusetts Q boats.

A Prayer

A little girl of or was quietly playing
on the porch one afternoon, while her
father and one of his friends were enjoy
ing smoke and a chat on political mat
ters. They paid no attention to the little
girl. who in turn seemed entirely absorbed
in her dolls and her Teddy bear.
When the guest had gone and betime
came the child's mother noticed that she
was unusually silent and thoughtful. And
when she knelt to say her prayers there
came a pausel after the usual petitions,
and then she resumed very earnestly:
'And now, God, please take care OF
yourself, for If anything should happen

velf-and he hasn't come up to papa's ex-
pectations."- -Harper's Weekly.
