GIFT FOR COLUMBIA
WITH STRING TO IT
Rumor Alumni VIII Build a Sta.
dunn on South Field.

Rumor had it last night that some
unknown alumnus or group Of alumni
viii contribute 100000 to Columbia
University at the end of the present
football season for the erection of a
stadium on South Field, to be COM
pleted in time for the 1916 games.
Just who the alumni are or why they
selected South Field rs the site for
the prospective stadium could not be
ascertained, as Tom Thorpe. who
brought the first news OF he gift to
Morningside Heights late in the after
noon, lost little time in getting back
to his Long Island home.
South Field, az every one knows who
has followed Coumbia's history, is to
be covered with buildings before many
years have passed. and that the trus-
tees have put ban on the erection OF
any permanent structures in the nature
Of stands for athletic contests.
1t is not impossible that steps may
be taken 10 revive the old plans to
build a stadium on reclaimed site
in the Hudson River at 10th Street,
but even that is out of the question
until il is demonstrated by the FIVE
year trial period that football is back
on Morningside Heights TO stay.

RACERS PREPARING FOR
ELECTION DAY EVENT
De Palma Sure to Appear in
Hardness Gold Trophy Contest.

Those drivers who have not already
arrived at the speedway in preparation
for the Hardness Gold Trophy race
are expected in New York to-day, and
most of them will have their cars on
the Sheepshead Bay Speedway, tuning
UP for the big Election Day event.
This race is TO be n battle Of cham
pions, an invitation affair for the
drivers who have won big races during
the year.
Among those who will be out for
practice are Eddie Rickenbacher. Ralph
Milford, Dario Resta, Bob Burman and
John Aiken. Ralph De Palma an
nounced yesterday positively that he
will be in the race with his Mercedes
car and not the Stutz racer which he
drove in the Aston Cup race. The
Mercedes which Ralph piloted to VIC
tory in the last 500-mile race at In
dianapolis experienced motor trouble
in practice for the Aston Cup, but De
Palma has been able to effect repairs
in the mean time. He probably Will
not be ready for practice to-day.

Cornell Football Men
Don Their Toys Again
[By Telegraph n The Tribune


Ithaca. n. Y, Oct. 27.-After a three
DAYS rest the Cornell football players
donned their football toys and ap..
reared in full force on Schoelkopf
field this afternoon. The varsity was
somewhat off form in the early part OF
the scrimmage with the scrub, allowing
it's opponents to score touchdown ana
field goal By taking advantage OF a
tumble.
The first string men, however, soon
rallied. and Barrett, Collins and Shiv-
erick repeated some Of the rushes
which marked the Harvard game. bar,
rett. by the way, was in fine trim, ana
to have seen him play this afternoon
no one would have thought he had been
carried off the field at Cambridge.
ShiverIck played his usual game and
the ends were steady throughout the
afternoon practice. With the exception
Of Lewis for Mueller at fullback. the
Cornell varsity lineup remains un-
changed. Mueller was unable to get
out 10 the field on account of univer-
sity work. Lewis had good tryou',
and. with the exception of one tumble,
did well.

Plan for Circuit Racing fol-
Motor Boats Meets with
Favor-New Officers
Elected.

Delegates from half hundred yacht
and motor boat clubs. representing the
owners of at least 1000 boats in this
and other states. attended the annual
meeting of the American Power Boat
Association, held yesterday at the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.
In accordance with the reports OF
the various committees for broaden
ing the scope and influence of the as
ISOLATION, many changes and additions
were made. One of these innovations
Ia that the executive council Will be
increased by the addition Of an ad-
visory technical committee to be COM
posed Of an expert timer, a designer
and one other.
The secretary OF the association was
authorized TO request each section to
recommend points where buoyss anu
lights should be placed so that the as
ISOLATION may supply, IL necessary
limited number Of distinctive Amer
lean Power Boat Association buoys, to
be planted by the government, in case
the government declines TO furnish
its own.
A "cruiser" was defined as a boat
that does not exceed nine times the
square root Of the load watAr limo

length. The rule was formerly twelve
times the square root.
The classification for boats which
are TO compete for the Gold Challenge
Cup In the future has been changed
from four to two classes, so as 20
read: "26-foot class shall consist OF
boats 26 feet over all length, and un-
der" and "40-foot class shall consist
Of boats 40 feet over all length and
under" This relieves the smaller
boats from racing against the larger
ones in the high speed races.
Vice-Commodore Chester r. Hoag,
Of the Thousand Island Yacht Club,
laid before the association plan for
circuit racing for motor boats. His
club has offered a gold cup for an
annual race on the st. Lawrence River,
between high speed boats, the cup to
be held by the winner until thirty
days before the next race, when it is
to be returned to the club. Mean
while. races may be held at Detroit,
Lake George or New York, so that IL
a boat breaks down before one Of the
races or during one, she may still have
en- opportunity TO race for the trophy
nj another meet. Commodore {. NJ.
Englis, of the Thousand Island Club,
Endorsed the plan, which will probably
be acted upon in the near future.
The officers elected for 1916 were:
President, A. l.. Judson; treasurer,
c. c. Finsen; secretary, I. b. Taylor;
measurer. F. Z. Lord. Those present
included Herbert L. Stone, G. F. Chap
man. Herbert T. Kocrner, the retiring
president, who received a rousinR vote
Of thanks; C. P. Tower.J. II. Wallace
and r. Is. Clark.

Lafayette Eleven Is
Waiting for Old Penn,

Easton, Penn. Oct. 27.-All through
The early part Of the week Crowell, the
head coach, has continued to drive his
squad at a terrific clip in preparation
for the game with Penn on Saturday.
The scrimmages have lasted an hour,
and by the use of the spectral ball
practice has lasted until dark. Every
night there have been drills In the
formations in the gymnasium.
Practically all the positions have
been settled except at right guard. the
choice lying between Ryon, Gaynor and
Livezey. Lowe will be at one tackle
and Maxfeld at the other, and the line
promises TO be the strongest that La
fayette has presented this year. The
coaching of Balm has made the men
stronger individually and as a group.
Next to the game with Lehigh, this
game with Penn is the most important
on the Lafayette schedule, and the
Maroon and White will try to wipe out
the stain of the overwhelming defeat
sustained at the hands Of Princeton
two weeks ago.

There was a distinct difference OF
opinion over the outcome of the match
between Dundee and Richie. Several
capable judges declared that the rip
snorting finish Of Richie entitled him
TO the honors. II was pointed out IN
The Tribune that Richie made an heroic
finish. and at the end was riding over
his man, outscoring him easily. But IT
is also true that his reign was for only
three rounds, and in the early periois
Of the match Dundee piled up leod on
points which could not be cut down.

LAST ELMENDORF
SALE ON TO-DAY
Ballot, Sain and Hessian
to Go Under Hammer
at Lexington.

Lexington, Ky, Oct. 27.-Elmendorf,
the S,000-acre estate of the late James
b. Haggin, will pass out OF existence
as a breeding establishment tomorrow,
when the stations Ballot, Sain and
Hessian, with sixty-eight brood mares
and thirty one yearlings, will go under
the hammer.
Probably the horse that will attract
the most interest at the sale will be
Ballot, the son of Voter-Cerito. He
was bred by the late James X. Keere
at Castleton Stud, here, and during his
racing career, which extended over
four years, earned for Mr. Keene the
substantial sum Of $3.50 900, winning
the Suburban Handicap ut Sheepshead
Bay in 1908 and seventeen other races,
all fixtures at that time Of the Amer
lean and English turf.
Probably Sain is better known as a
sire, while Hessian stands extremely
high in the list of winning sires during
the last several seasons.
Elmendorf came into existence in
1897, when Mr. Haggin purchased the
old Swigart Farm, several miles outside
Of this city. At that time he was
interested in breeding thoroughbred
horses in the Rancho del Paso ranch,
in California, but at the time he gave
up his ranch, In 1905, he sold all Of
his horses there at auction, purchasing
the most desirable Of the lot for FL
mendorf.
Mr.. Haggin, during the early COS.
imported a number of celebrated stall
lions from England and the Antipodes,
and the sale tomorrow includes a num-
Der OF horses which trace their lineage
10 these, although at the time the anti
racing bill was passed in New York
Mr.. Haygin shipped a large number OF
his horses to foreign countries.
