WEEKLY SPORTING REVIEW
Students To Inspect Yale Bow1-Cam- era Has Important Place In
 Athletics

New York, Nov. 8. With the of international competition in the
 history of American sport still faintly | heard, plans are being made for a still greater series of contests in 1914.
 Not satisfied with the winning or re-
 tention of the tennis, polo, golf, son.
 der yacht, balloon and rifle trophies,
 the American athlete and sportsman | is preparing to broaden the list before another twelve months shall have rolled around. Out of nine competf- tions of international character or en- try the United States representatives
 won six, lost two, and did not enter the ninth. The two defeats came in the motor boat race and the woman's | golf tournament, both of which were won by English entrants
 Looking forward to 1914 the sport ing calendar a1ready contains tenta- l tive dates for another ruond of Da- wis cup tennis and international polo. Sir Thomas Lipton's fourth attempt to l lift the Americas cup will be a, feat ure of the year in sport. The Eng | fish amateur and professional golfers will again invade the States and Ann erfcan entries are assured for the
 English championships. The win ming of the balloon race trophy as-. sures renewal of the air classic here next autumn. The Amateur Athletic Union will send a team of athletes to Athens for the local cycy1e Olympic games to be held there next spring and other minor international competitions, such as canoeing, arch cry and cricket, are assured.
 In fact, the spirit of international competition can be said to continue without interruption, since several American teams are preparing to leave for foreign shores this month. The two professional baseball teams, representing the major leagues in their round-the-wor1d tour, will un- fdoubtedly attract wide attention, but the Giants and White Sox will not be tativeS to depart for foreign competi- ton during the next few weeks While the professional baseball play CTS win have greater numerical strength when they depart from Van hoouver on November 19, the Amateur Athletic Union track and field team and several American tennis players
 will also be followed with interest in their invasion of Oriental and Austra- | Iasian fields. The athletes are sched-
 u1ed to sail for Melbourne on Novem-
 Der 12, and William Johnston. Elia FottreH and possibly one or two other California tennis experts will leave for the Orient about the same time. The chief object of Johnstons and Fottrelrs trip is to play in both the
 
 Tennis Championship of the Orient tournament to be held at Manila, Jan. to 12. This tournament is of more than usual importance this season be- cause of the high-class entry list ex- pected. The leading players of Aus traIia, Japan, China and the Pacific coast have been invited to compete. and to date the percentage of accep- tances has been most encouraging Johnston and FottreI1 will also visit Honolulu, Yokohama,~~ Shanghai, Kobe and Nagasaki during their tour, playing practice and exhibition matches wherever possible.
 The camera Is rapidly earning 9. place of importance in athletics and sport competition both in America and abroad. No contest or match of real interest goes unphotographed, and the, readers of newspapers and
 magazines are daily brought face to face with the heroes of the diamond, football field, tennis court and aquatic sports. During the past few seasons however, the lens has been found ca pablo of filling a more useful field in the realms of amateur paStimes and Irecreations. The wie1der of racquet, mashie, or oar can see himself as oth- CTS see him with faults in playing form clearly illustrated
 This ability to depict the strong and weak points of individuals and teams in sports and games has been dfscov- cred to be of much help to coaches and instructors. Consequently the camera is being constantly called in action by those who direct the activi- ties of the college, club and unat- tached athlete. Photographs of the crews in training at Cornell and Co., lumbfa are taken each season and thrown on the canvas in enlarged form while the coaches point out fTT, system is used in the development of several of the big varsity football teams.
 Even the moving picture machine is found of assistance. The German Olympic Commission, which recently spent a month Investigating the American athletic system, took back reels of films showing some Of our leading athletes in action. Pictures Of one of the leading United states tennis players were taken last spring Ito prove to England that he did not foot fault in serving. Perhaps in years to come it will be possible for a connection to rise to the pinnacle Of sporting fame uncoached except by the films which will show him his faults as compared to those or the competitor who is considered the final word in perfect playing form.
 When Yale alumni gather at New Haven a week from to-day for the annual Princeton ale football game, the former students will almost to a man devote portion of their time to an inspection of the mammoth Yale stadiuT1 now under construction, al-
 most directly across the street from the scene of the gridiron battle be- tween the Eli and Tiger elevens. Rapid progress has been made in the construction of the 'Blue >Bowl'' as the stadium has been facetiously dub- bed by members of a f1ippant gen. eration, and the graduates will be able to secure an. excellent idea of the final appearance of stadium as it will be throw wn open to them for the Yale Harvard game late in the autumn of 1914.
