THE GEM OF THE OCEAN Wins Second Yact Race Beating Shamrock a Quarter of a Mile. New York, N. Y., Oct. 3 A fresh northwest wind 24 miles, and smooth sea gave promise of a fine race today. All parties were pleased with the outlook. The vacht race today is on a tri angular course, first leg east balf south, second southwest balf south, third north northwest. Both boats got off, ihe Shamrock to windward. Official time by the Marconi wireless telegraph was Shamrock 11:00:13, Columbia 11:01:47. At 11:23 nearly half the distance to the tii st mark was covered, both holding tine wind and Columbia seemed to be slightly decreasing and Shamrock in the lead. The Shamrock turned the first mark at 11:5 :52, Columbia at 11:52:20. Shamrock turned secotid mark at 12:45:37; Columbia at .12:46:39. At 1:08 the boats were very close together, Shamrock to windward anpirently blanketing Columbia. Shamrock was footing it very fast but Columbia was out pointing her and nine minutes later was apparently ahead. The unofficial time of the finish was: Columbia 2:15:02, Shamrock 2:16:20. Columbia gained on Shamrock in first two legs of reaching! and still more in the race home on i the stretch to windward, showing, herself plainly the superior boat. j COLl-MBIA VINSAOAIX. New York.

The game was scheduled for the Basiness college team but for some reason the latter did did not show up so the game was between the high school team and the first team of Earlham, and they put up the best game ever put up by any team against the same opposition. At the first kick-off the H. S. team was down at their 20 yard Hue. By line hits and end runs they went thro gh the Earlham line five and five and ten yards at a time to the Earlham 20-yard line. Here their unaccustomed good playing seemed to have so surprised them that they made a fumble at just the time they should nt, of all all times, and Earlham got the ba'l and took it down the field forato' e-h down, after twenty minutes of playing. It was a great deal better showing than the Business College has ever made and better than any other high school team has ever done. They play at Knightstown Saturday. The team is l?ght, but makes up for it by fast playing. The team was composed of Kaufman, full back; Hampton, left half; Hill, right half; Wilson, quarter back ; Bu Ia,right end ; Tallant. right tackle; "organ, right guard; Horton, center; Thomas, left guard; Meyers, left tackle, E'der, left end.
