DIED TODAY GROWTH OF J. N. C. A.
More Than Twenty Nations Repre-
scented at the Worlds Congress
Being Held In Berlin.
(Herald Specially

Berlin, July 29.-The worlds con-
gress of the Young Mems Christian
Association, which was formally open
ed at Barmen Elberfeld last evening,
began its regular sessions today with
an attendance that has been consid-
erably increased by number of late
arrivals. The roll call at the morn
ing session showed the presence of
delegates from more than twenty ma
items EElhse United States and Great
Britain are the best represented nu-
merically. Other parts of the world
from which delegates have come to
report progress and exchange views
in regard to the future of the associa-
ton and its work include Canada,
France, Germany, South Africa, Bra
I'll, China, Australia, India, Spain,
Turkey, Sweden, Norway, Switzer-
land, Portugal, New Zealand, Scot
land, Ireland, Wales and Denmark.
When the late Sir George Williams
called together a few of his fellow
clerks in a London drapery establish
ment sixty-five years ago and took
steps to organize the Young Mems
Christian Association" the object of
which was stated to be "to improve
the spiritual condition Of young men
engaged in the drapery and other
trades" he scarcely could have fore
seen the marvellous growth and world
wide influence which the organization
was destined to enjoy.
Reports prepared for presentation
to the congress now in session show
that the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation is now established in forty
three countries. The local branches
number 5000 and have a total mem
bership of $4,000.
In North America the association
has flourished to a far greater extent
than in any other part of the world
In the United States and Canada
there are at present 1000 local
branches, with a total membership of
100000. Thus it will be seen that
more than one-half the total member
ship of the associations of the world
are in the United States and Canada.
The total number of buildings re-
ported is LIS, of which $50, or over
one-half, are in North America. The
value of these buildings is $4S,677,O76,
of which $4O,716,O51, or over five
siXths of the total amount, is in
North America, while the remaining
$S,OOO,00O is distributed over twenty
two other countries.

shot was not heard in any part of the

Bill Edwards of Princeton, is in full
agreement with Hogan in this matter.
Here is the trouble" said Hogan.
you have your tackle, for instance,
with a play coming at him. He is to
dive into it, as he always did, to break
it up. looking for a forward pass. He
had to dive in in the old days, too, but
he knew what he was going to find on
the other side of the line, after he had
broken through, and he could charge
low. This condition is simply intensi-
fed by the neutral zone. The offense
has too much of a chance to gather
power before it hits the line. The men
are playing in looser fashion, and lots
of these accidents to backs and necks
come from just such crashing plays
against a loose and broken line, when
the men do not have an opportunity to
find themselves before they are in the

There are no Camps or Shevlins to
teach this team. No, it is solely his
own effort that makes them losers or
winners.
AT another school of like football
material, the coach adopts the same old
style that they were familiar with as
teamwork as they are developed, the
ratio being about half and half. There
are only four or five games as op-
posed to the twice as many the big
eastern college plays. 1t is a rush all
the time for experience. Two games
from the end of the season, one team
is pronounced fit to enter the cham
ipionship games. It has learned all il
can of individual and collective play.
The other is not so sure Of itself Ii
has good individual players but il
would like a little more time to perfect
it's team work and time is so precious.
They clash-and teamwork wins
; But to get back to the Oregon team.
Forbes was pleased with such material
as no other Oregon coach ever had
spread before him. He had heavy
team and fighting team. What other
coach had such line? Look at those
tackles, Pinkham, the Incompatible,
Pinkham, and Bill Main and Scott
Look at the clever Bailey and Storie
and GILES, and that quartet of ends,
Dodson, Kiltz, Michael and Huston one
almost as good as the other Then those
two fighting freshmen centers, KEEL
logg and Mitchell.
And then glance at that sterling
backfield, bud Clarke, ''Chuch'' Tay-
lor, Sap" Latourette and Billy Sulli-
van, with Main and Mitchell to fill in
when needed.
Truly Forbes had a wealth of mater
I ial, material that should win cham
pionship in almost any company under
the new rules, and yet they were help-
less as new born babes when an eleven
that knew teamwork went into action
against them.
Sitting it down to the last speck, it
is the football system rather than the
! individual merit that permitted Oregon

MEAL AND CANNOT RIDE
SPECTATOR EXPIRES.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-An indiscre-
ton in diet cost Shirley of the
British French team, seven more laps
tonight in the six day bicycle race at
Madison Square Garden. He came out
on the track heavy from hearty meal
and at the same time as Vanoni, who
cut out such a pace that the other
riders in following him Tapped Shirley
repeatedly
The galleries were filled with en-
thusiastic people and the smoke was
so thick that some riders wore goggles.
One spectator with a weak heart
dropped dead from excitement.
Root and Fogler were given oxygen
by their trainers at each interval OF
relief just before going on the track
Oxygen has not hitherto been tried
in long distance contests. The slim
ulant seemed to agree with both.
At II o'clock the score was a tie at
1876 1-5 miles between IA teams WITH
Shirley and German six laps behind.
All the riders, however, were ahead of
the record of 493 20 miles made last
year by Mcfarland and Moran.
German relieved Shirley and made a
but at 1854 the team was retired with
score of 49S miles laps, Shirley's
indigestion not permitting him to go
on again. Germain was given four
hours in which to find a partner. In
the 25th hour Stol led a wild scramble
to steal lap. At the end of the sprint
it was found that CarspeZzi had been
laped II times while the Georget
brothers, Anderson and Vanoni and
Hill and Stein lost one lap each.
Carspezzi's partner, Cuniole, was un-
| able to resume, and German decided
| to remain in the race and take his
place

Edwards' View.

1T isn't only the line men who are
affected by the forward pass said Mr.
Edwards "Men who are catching the
ball are of necessity in a dangerous
position The end or tackle who is t.
take the pass has to go down the field,
turn quickly for the throw, and after
catching the ball, turn again to &c
down the field He is almost invariably
tackled as soon as he has received the
pass, and being brought down without
a chance of injury is considerable. The
play cost Yale the use of fine enc

knee was so badly wrenched that he
could not play against Harvard
These are the opinions of practical
men, who not only played the game
well while in college, but have followed
it closely ever since. On the other
hand, there is multiplicity of sugges-
tions from men who want to SIZE a re-
vision toward more open game. The

RdCetrdCkS Lost
Him Three Millions

A loss of $3,O0O,0OO on the racing
game, not a cent Of which, however, is
due to gambling on the horses, has
been suffered by John Condor, of Chi
cago, whose track interests are said to
be larger than those of any other man
in the country. The wave of reform
starting in New York by overnor
Hughes in his gambling crusade,
is ascribed as the cause of his losses
by Mr.. Condor, who is now said to be
almost property poor" New York's
example in shutting out the bookmak-
ers has been followed by five otner
states, and the crowds at the tracks
where there is any racing at all are
now not anything like what they were
when the layers of odds tempted every
man with the betting fever and a dol
lar to play the ponies" Mr.. Condor
owns outright the Harlem race track
in Chicago, which used to be worth
millions-s2, 100000 it was rated at
when racing and bookmaking were al
lowed in Illinois.
In many cases the loss in value or
racing properties is not absolute.
/ Where the tracks are owned outright
by the associations eventually the
property will bring a big price as sub
urban real estate. But where the as
sociations merely hold leases on the
race courses, as in the cases of the
case of the fair grounds track at New
Orleans and Oakland at San Francis
co, the loss is total as a Wrecking firm
would pay only a few thousand dol
lars at most for the grandstands and
buildings, which represent an expenGi-
ture of approximately $350,O00 in each
case. AS Mr.. Condor holds stock in

NEW YORK. Dec. THE question
as to revision of the football rules
Is rapidly getting down to an argument
as to whether the game is too open or
too close. A general sentiment among
those who have been shocked by fatal
accidents this year seems to be that the
play should be made still looser, while
another element dep!oring such occur
lehces just as much, thinks that certain

Beauties Harlem.
1T was always his ambition to make
Harlem the most beautiful race track
in the country, and when racing came
rival Washington park had as a land
scape. Uncle Jim" Thorpe, the land
scape gardener, spent months annually
at Harlem identifying the already
beautiful course. A nine-hole golf links
was laid out in the infield. together
with the steeplechase course. The track
was the best managed in the country.
without question John Condor Is
the biggest figure in racing in the
United States today. Yet only a few
years ago he was interested in small
affairs in Logansport, Ind. He has
most of his money invested in racing
property. Racing property seems to be
on the wane. The question is, will le-
gislatures in various states continue to
pass anti-racing laws until every track
in the country is wiped out and John
Condor finds himself property poor?'
In Condon's methods there has al
ways been one point in which he diff
fered from all the others, and it Is due
to this point of difference that he has
survived his enemies. Condor never
put all his eggs in one basket. If he
suffered a loss on one track, half a
dozen others were making money for
him. Thus he gradually became rich.
and when the succession of terrible
blows to racing which have marked
the last few years in sport fell, he was
able to stand against them and sur
vive the big losses he has sustained.
