Americas Cup Classic Upsets
Yacht Racing Program i'm East
is considering cruise to Sandy Hook
in time for the cup races.
Plan Cruise to Big Race


Undoubtedly other out -of-town or
CARNATIONS Will follow the example set
by the two big Marblehead clubs. AS
things now look. private yachts will be
about the only type of craft that will
go down to the scene where giant
sloops will race. Even the yachts will
not carry very many people. Since
the last cup event the laws of the sea
have been altered and all boats that
go out beyond the three mile limit can
only carry limited number on board.
The number is governed by the life
boat accomm odations of the craft
1t is said that Commodore J. P. Nor
gan's steam yacht Corsair. one of the
largest yachts in the world, will be
only able to carry twenty guests in
the law, several hundred could be
taken in comfort on board yacht as
large as the Corsair. Other boats will
be restricted in the same matter. This
is taken to mean that there will be
very few excursion boats putting to
sea for the cup races. The few that
do go down to Sandy Hook will be
forced TO charge fancy prices to see
the race.
1t is reported that designer Nat Her
reshoff has recently purchased the
steam yacht Mermaid, chiefly for the
purpose of following Resolute in her
trial races with Tanite and later Of
Watching the Americas Cup match
Mermaid was built by the Herreshofrs
for the late Morton F. Plant, some
elghteen years ago. In those days she
was called the Express. More recently
she was used by Commodore J. P
Morgan as ''ferryboat" between j. P
Glen Cove home and the city.

New 1oEk rowing enthusiasts Will
take particular interest in the Colum-
bia-Yale encounter, in which Coach Jim
Rics's oarsmen will be pitted against
the charges of Guy Nickalls, who re-
turned to the New Haven university
from England in time to prepare the
Blue crow for its triumph against
Penn. Observation trains will follow
the struggle along the two-mile course.
Both races at Derby will be rowed
downstream, beginning at Shelton and
finishing just above the big dam over
the Housatonic at Derby. The junior
race will start at 4:4o standard time
(5:45 New York time) and the varsity
eights will leave the mark at 5:15.
William H. Meikleham, of New York
City. the former Columbia oarsman,
who has refereed the Yale Harvard
regatta at New London for many years,
viii otficiate Saturday.
Harvard's clash with the Navy will
be the first contest of the season for
both crews. 1t will be rowed over the
Henley distance for varsity and junior
varsity eights. The midshiprnen shape
up at the present time as the favorites
Coach Dick Glendon having had an un-
usually successful training season.
1Haines had been compelled to make
several shifts in his boating and was
rather late IN getting out on the
Charles for the spring workouts. The
Navy's familiarity with the course
will be another factor in their favor
Yale Surprises Supporters
Yale's stirring and impressive victory
at the expense of Penn on the Schuyl-
kill will make the Ellis dangerous
opponents for Columbia. Led by cap
tain and stroke c. c. Peters, one of
the most powerful oarsmen in colleei-
ate circles, the Blue varsity surprised
even its own adherents by the smooth
ness and perfect time of its stroke
The pace never rose above thirty-tvo
but fawiess timing and plenty OF
power behind the blades gained a de-
cisive triumph for Nickalls's aegrega-
ton.
Columbia will equal it's rivals in
weight and height, and perhaps in
power. But. the Blue and White has
yet to face real competition, and it's
Inexperience will prove handicap
Its stroke is likely to be slightly
higher than Yale's, but whether or not
the timing and the stamina will also
be present is matter of speculation,
Inc odds at present favor Yale.
The probable lineup of the Columbia
varsity follows:
Bow, Waldecker; No. ., Curry; No
8. Swinburne; No. 4, Calico; No 5
Herman; No. s, Scovil; No. I, Var
Houten; stroke, Legs.

called on to demonstrate their
swimming prowess this afternoon.
The two eights were rowing to the
start of a trial race in the Charles

Reduce Cotton Acreage.

The farmer who stoutly refuses to
believe the boil weevil to be real,
live, hurtful enemy and goes on
straitway preparing for the usual, or
perchance increased, cotton acreage,
will sooner or later find himself again
in the unfortunate plight of 1914. If
so, he has no one to blame but him
self. He is going headlong into trou-
BILE fully Informed of the danger. The
heavy blow of 1914 came as a bolt
of thunder from a cloudless sky. No
warning was given farmers to pre-
pare for the worst. They planted
their usual acreage in cotton in the
spring of 1914, entertaining the hope
that the price in the fall would be
around IL cents. After Germany
stabbed the world in the back, the
blow being felt around the world,
and nowhere with greater force and
with more direful consequences than
right here in the cotton belt of the
South, the price dropped to five cents
with no market even at so low a
price. Guard against repetition of
the 1914 disaster. Reduce the cotton
acreage and correspondjngly increase
the acreage of food crops.
