Six Yachts Already Proposed by Cup Defenders Who Will Compete in Trials

1 NEW YORK. Sept. 27.-If the pres.
 ent plans of American yachtsmen can
 be considered equivalent to yachts
 there will be no scarcity of cup de- lenders when Sir Thomas Lipton and his Shamrock " arrive o1 Sandy Hook next summer. No less than six seyenty-five footers have already bee n proposed and should all be built, the
 trial and elimination races will be equal in interest to the cup contests proper. scheduled for next September.
 It appears certain at this time that
 at least four of the six yachts pro iected will eventually slide of the
 ways and that yacht racing with Q reasonable type of ocean races will receive a tremendous boom.
 One order has already been placed with the famous designer Nat Here

 P. Morgan, George Baber, E. s. Wal ters and A. c. James. Plans for this yacht which is to be sailed by Robert Emmons of Boston are almost com pleted.
 A second yacht will quite probably be built by three members of this syn dicate, assisted by c. Oliver lselin. Bourne is heading this movement and has been assured of the cooperation of two other members of the Big SiA' syndicate Alexander C. Cochran, own CT of the racing yacht Westward, also has tentative plans for a cup defend CT of which he is to be the sole own CT. Still fourth group which is dis cussing a seyenty-five foOter is pro- iected by Commodore E. Walter Clark of Philadelphia and George NJ. Pyn- chon of New York. The cooperation of ond Of two other yachtsmen is de sired before any definite announce ment is likely from this group.
 The plans for the fifth and sixth yachts are rather vague at this time but contain. nevertheless, possibilities which may develop additional barriers between the Americas cup and the Shamrock ". George owens, a yacht designer and Corinthian sailor of note who went to Chicago two weeks ago With the yacnA oNiduSSi tO 9e4' 'S the Manhasset cup is a prime mover in the matter. He has sought man cial support from Chicago and Great Lake sailors for a yacht 10 be de- signed and built by himself and the Middle West appeared to like the idea of being represented in the salt water classic of yachting.
 New England would also like to- see a yacht sailing for the land or the Puritans The original plan of a 1 New England syndicate of yachtsmen backing such a venture has been abandoned. There is to take it's place. however, the suggestion of a boat to 1 be built by popular subscription. There is a possibility of such an en- trant for the trial races with San Francisco and the far west yet to be heard from.

Britains Order Hard Courts To pc,
 Velop in Faster Play
(By Associated Pressl

tBy ASSOclated PreSS)
 LONDON, Sept. 27-The lesson that the speed of the California tennis players is due to their play on asphalt and oil courts has been taken to heart by the British players, and hard court tennis promises to become the winter game of England The orders for hard courts have become so numerous that one firm which specialiZes in this form of court recently has re- ceived orders for six hundred. One of these, just finished. has been laid down for the Duke of Westminster in the rear of Grosvenor House and probably this is the most exclusively situated hard court in the world.
 The curtain has just rung down on the grass court season and the play CTS are making preparations to re- main in practice for the many hard court tournaments arranged for the coming winter These tournaments will continue until April when the grass season begins, thus making tennis in England an all round the year game.
 Artificially lighted covered courts are also becoming popular, so that the office worker and business man need not give up his tennis when the short days come.

Large Squads Turn Out at Harvard and Yale for Pre- hninary Practice.

BOSTON, Sept 27.-Just at pvcseLt New England is in the throes of foot
 ball and the prospects for sterling teams at both Harvard and Yale are excellent The Crimson clan that rOuted the Blue year ago is sxcreI- ingly optimistic and not without cause. A larger or better squad of candidates has not assembled in the Cambridge stadium in years. There is enough material for two typical Harvard elevens and the struggle EJr places on the Varsity team will be keener this fall than for many sea. sons.
 A fast and powerful backfeld, con sisting of Brickley. HardwiCk and Bradlee of the 1912 team is available. augmented by Eddie Mahan, last years freshman captain, Freeley, I.c- gan and Cartmell. the latter trio all candidates for the position of quaT- terback, left vacant by the graduation Of Harry Gardner. All told there Is material for five backfeld cnm5lna- tions and judging by the way Coach Haughton shifted the players about during the early weeks of practice he proposes to have at least three qIar. tettes ready to enter the game al any time. Veteran and substitute mater iaI for the line also is abundant and when the problems of filling the pc sitions of quarterback and center are solved Harvard is going to have a football team hard to defeat.
 This is the very task that Yale football authorities have st for them selves and despite the lack of any thina like the material that is at the disposal of the Crimson coaches there are those who believe that it is not impossible. Yale graduates and class men are united in the plan to revive the famous bulldog spirit at New Hay- en. and believe that they will succeed

 YANKEE CHAMPION
Quimet Who Defeated Lead ing English Golfers Is a Comparative Youth.

BRooKLINE, Mass. Sept 27.- tSpecial ll-Telegram and letters Of congratulation from golf enthusiasts all over the United States are pouring In on Frarcis Ouimet, the youthful winner of the nineteeth championship tournament of the United States Golf association in Brookline last week In keeping the championship in this country Ouimet defeated Vardon and Ray, the leading golf experts of Eng. land.
 For more reasons than one the vic tory of Onimet is noteworthy. This is the first time in the history Of golf than an American has defeated the best of England in a championship tournament And. besides, Ouimet is a mere youth, not yet twenty
 Both Nardon ard Ray have un. stinted praise for the youthful cham. pion, They declare that he beat them fairly and squarely and echo the sen timent Of the London Times that all other feelings are extinguished in ad- miration for the wonderful feat of Ouimet who proved himself to be one of the greatest of golfers"
 Ouimet is d native of BroOkline His parents are poor and the boy was forced at an early age to eke out the family income by working as caddy on the very field where he won his great triumph Saturday From his thirteenth year until he graduated from the BrookIine high school year ago he was a familiar figure on the Brookline links. His playing first attracted wide attention in the amateur championship open tournament this year, which Jerome D. Travers won.
