praotioable. the plan could be dropped. The.-fiKegtion Is. Will any secretary have the spunk

to take the Initiative?

GOLF.There was peace and harmony In the annual

meeting of the United States Golf Associationen Friday evening, and under its able manage-

ment the sport continues to prosper in the most

prolific way. The only unfavorable criticism that

can perhaps he made is that there is a disposi-

tion to be too conservative. Some of the best

golfers In the country have expressed them-selves infavor of all thirty-six hole match play

rounds In the amateur championship, and yet Itwas the sense of the meeting that no change

be made this year. It was the more surprising

chat the vote was so strongly In favor of the

old plan When there is a disposition among alarge number of active golfers for a new plan

it would certainly be to the advantage of thesport Ifit were tried, even if it was only in tbenature of an experiment. There is much to besaid in favor of thirty-six hole rounds, as wasbrought out In "The Tribune" on Friday, and it

is somewhat disappointing to many players that

the association did not see fit tc give It further

consideration. There were few changes in themake-up of the executive committee, and itseems wise that so few were made. The gov-

ernment of the sport was in good hands, and it

was fitting that It should have been ieft so.

Ransom H. Thomas, of the Morris ounty GoifClub elected to the presidency a year ago, has

been' named for another term, and there can be

little doubt of his continuing to make the samepopular presiding official Mr. Thomas has been

identified with goif since its early days in thiscountry. He is a former president of the StockExchange.

__ _ .. -Th« vice-presidents elected, Frederick B.

James of the Glen View Club, and AlexanderBritton. cf the Chevy Chase Club, representwidely different sections, while the secretary-

ship continues to remain here, as has ever been

the custom This will n.ake the second term

for W. Pellowes Morgan, of the Baltusrol GoifC!ub, who hae been named to succeed himself.Th« thankiess duties of treasurer have for the

seventh time been thrust upon Samuel Y.Heeb-ner, of the Philadelphia Cricket Club. . That hehas made an ideal official no one willdeny, andthe committee acts wisely by continuing to in-

trust the funds of the organization to his hands.A notable addition to the executive committee is

H Chandler E-gan, of the Exmoor Country Club,

of Chicago The selection of the amateur cham-pion is a good one. As one of the best exponents

of the game In this country, it is well that heshould have a voice in the councils of the sport.

HOCKEY.Last week was a lively one in hockey circles,

with two international matches and the defeat

of the champion Crescent seven by the Xc-v-York Athletic Club as the features. The Sham-rocks, of Montreal, scored a victory ver an all-

Xew-York seven on Friday, but or. Saturday the

Crescents took them into camp in a most de-

cisive fashion in one of the best and fastestgamjss of the season, and one so free from rough

and unfair tactics that it was a shining ex-ample of how The game can, and shouid beplayed. This victory over one of the best andstrongest teams in Canada, where the sport may

be said to have its home, made the defeat of theHfaif Moon f.even earlier in The week by theMercury Foot team the more surprising. It

added Interest however, to the fight for the

Amateur Hockey League championship, whichhad been generally looked on as a foregone con-clusion for the Crescents. The New-York Ath-

letic <""iub now leads the league, and seems likely

to hold the place until February 20. when thesecond game with the Crescent Athletic Club isscheduled, which may prove, the deciding one.In winning last Tuesday the Xew-York sevenshowed conclusively that it was a foeman not tobe despised, as the game was earned on th»

merits of the play. Harvard and Yale are tied

for the intercollegiate championship, although

Harvard has won two games to Yale's one. The

New-Haven team played Its first championshipsame last week, and gava such an account of

itself that Harvard may lose her title. Inspiteof little practice the Crimson seven Is a strong

one, however. The victory ever Princeton onSaturday was more easily earned than the scoreindicated. Harvard has only one more game to

play that against Brown on February 10. beforemeeting Yale in what Is likely to prove the allIn portant match. Yale must still meet and de-feat Columbia and Princeton lo go into thatgame on even terms with her dearest foe. Thechampionship is plainly between them. OnSaturday Yale willline up against Columbia in

the only Intercollegiate game of the week. In

the urne the New-York Athletic Club will-:_-'thf Hockey Club to-night at the St. Mch-

o'ias Rink, while on Wednesday the Crescent

Athletic Club will have the St. Nicholas sevenat the Clermont Rink, in Brooklyn.

AITOMOBILIXG.There is little that can be added to what has

already been said about the automobile shows

in Madison Squar" Garden and the Ortth Regi-

ment Armory last week. The industry has

prospered until it now claims recosrnitlon with

the first in the land, and it is growing. Its

growth in this country is cause for particular

congratulation. If the forecasts left any doubt

that the best American manufacturers have

drawn fully abreast of the best foreign manu-

facturers, the shows have thoroughly dispelled

it. "The Motor World" says editorially on the

subject: o*.

Preelv granting that car designs the worldover follow the same general lines and that

those lines first were, cast abroad and then

taken up here is to say all that fairly may be

said If Europe sets a tfood fashion America

is not usually slow to follow it and Improve on

It and this is exactly the case with motor cars.

The Americans— the best American makers—

have learned their lesson thoroughly and well and

no longer have reason to fear the rod or the oncesuperior knowledge of their teachers. They now••know their book" and are adding a few pagesof the!r own authorship. If they have assim-

ilated many European ideas, the American man-ufacturers are not producing slavish copies.

Their cars contain a deal of their own ingenuity,

much or which in due course. Europe -will duly

"assimilate." It is so in nearly all other linesof mechanical manufacture.. It would tie odd.Indeed, Ifit did not prove the case In this in-stance 11 La a striking and significant fact thatthat good old libel. "America is just about fiveyears behind France." was notheard once on theoccasion of the present shows. Two years ago

It wai rampant, and last year It was not en-tlrdy Lbsent

Roger B. Mullln, manager of the AmericanMotor Car Manufacturers' Association, hascompiled some Interesting statistics to provethat the automobile Is not the engine of destruc-

tion so many believe. F<->r Instance, it Is shown

that there were, on December 21, 1906. 2,100

surfac- cars in operation In the city of Chicago.

On the sauu day There were about 3,600 motor.ars in service. During: the year 1!*)5 Mr. Mo-

Multti table shows that streetcar accidents

caused 137 deaths, while the "ravaging" automo-

blle was responsible for only live Ha concludesby Baying:

In support of my theory that the motor car isa comparatively harmless vehicle, as far as ac-i...':iii.! deaths are oneemed, Ibsw*e advanced

the following deductions: There were more thanseventy iinslTn caused by railroad accidents forevery death caused by an automobile. Therewere twelve persons killed by horse drawn ve-hicles to one by the automobile. Mure thanforty people killed from falls for every d.-at.aresaltiofj from an automobile accident.

NEW- YORK DATLY TRIBUNE. MOMPAY. JANUARY 22. UK*

SPOBTDTG COMMENT.

Neu* and Fiea* on Current Topics,

Amateur and Professional.The

—mmohtiri will.continue to hold tho cen-

tre- of the stage this we<>k. as it did Ir.st. It Is

a far cry from demonstrating to Bpe< Itag, and

a lons jump from the showrooms m Garden

and armory to the wave washed sands on the

Florida beach, but motor enthusiasts are be-

gir.r.lr.g to accept the most startling Transitions

as a matter of course. Following the wonderfuldemonstration of the popularity of the automo-

biie and Its remarkable development last week

will come, to all appearances, -lional hap-

ponnings on The Ormond beach this week in

the way of tests of extreme speed and new time

records. It is safe to assume even that the

dream of the speed enthusiast, of two miles in

a minute, will actually be realized. If this isthe infancy of automobiling. and it is only justbeginning to crawl, as Professor Bell facetiously

pots it some new and startling development* !are still b*fore us. The question Is. Where wini; all end" Outside of the speed trials at Or-mond the week willbe a more or less quiet one.The weights for the BrighK-n Handicap are due,

however, on Wednesday, the announcement of

which Is eaperly awaited by horsemen, wnue

the American taterooOeglate football ruiee oom-rr.it:ee will held its first reerular session looking:

to a revision of the rules and jreneral reform inthe came on Sarurtlay.

FOOTBALJ/S TIME OF NEED.

The stand which the Harvard overseers have

takeTi In practically aboiishlng football until

such time as they can pass Judgement on the

revised rules, the total abolition of the gamo at

Columbia for the time being:, the position of The"Biff Nine" In the West and the action of theUnion CoCear* athletic committee, that the gramo

be abolished! for one year to await developments,

empnaelze tlw Importance of the work -which

the American lnt-srcone*r!ate football rules com-

mttte« has betfore It. This t-ody, which fortu-nately Is u-eil qualified to save the game ifitis

einrere. stands In a somewhat delicate position.

Ir.a sease It nrust work out the salvation of

football for. wlille the gszne willbe played next

season even if Harvard and some of the other

unlversltiea dedda to tafce an extreme standthere willbe an undercurrent of feeling agulnst

It,ana many other colleges would be likely to

follow th» exazaple of on« of the leaders 3a thecoHeg» athletic world. The committee has a

fall anfl complete iLaderstauDdlns; of the Impor-

tance of the work, and every member of the

cozszntt.tee must reaitze the compelling andurjrent n«ed for a thorough and even radicalrevision of the rules. There can be- no quibbling

••ver details, no politics, no halfway measures, If:American football is to hold th© place It ha* Joccupied In the laet few years. The changes >

must b« of snch a sweeping- natcre that even the jeitremlßta will be satisfied in part. By sweep- ;ing,it Is not mean! to Imply that the game must |be so altered that it could not be recognized as j

Axnerican footbalL Ifthe chief characteristics jcannot be retained it wouKJ be better to give it jtip altogether. There is a demand for Just such ja etrenuous game, as Caixtain Pierce, of West :Poirit. co ably brought out in an address at the j

conference of universities ar.d colleges a few jweeks ago. Changes can be made, however, |which will so improve the game from an ethical jEtand int that the worst features willbe eradi- j

cated. As Wmim T. Reid. Jr., eaid a short time jago: "Itis the little bit of holding, the little bit |of 02-Eide play, the little bit of starting before Ithe ball is put In play, the little bit of roughing jthat gives one side an Immense advantage over

the other, coached to observe the rules strictly."

Itis, as a matter of fact, these little things that

caused abuses to creep in which have now

brought the game tn itspresent pass. These canbe legislated against

—be legislated against,

in fact. r»r. Eliot himself has said that it was

rot ih<- genera! roughness of the game that he

objected to so trenuonsly, bat the petty deceitand underhand ethods which took the game

out of the realm of pure, or even respectable.

Dr. Eliofs opinion is likely to carry jmm h weight with the Harvard overseers when |

the rina.: decision must be made, and it is hoped

rhat be rules commlitee will be able to sati.=fy

him that the c-hane-fF. which it will make In the

rules willaccomplish the ends he has in mind.

It is confidently believed that such will be the

case. ir; spite of the Harvard Bulletin's" opin-

ion to the contrary. It says editorially on thesubject:

The \u25a0 Bulletin" has r.o special Information onthis subject, and r:o right to speak for ar.y one."We think, however, that a majority of the ath- |

letic committee is inclined to regard as fairlysatisfactory the chane in the rules suggestedby th<- committee of the Athletic Association of jHar.'ar ;Graduates. U"<> feel certain that thatreport -was by no means satisfactory to the over-s*-«-rs: that they willdemard more radical action,and perhaps will insist that ictTcoilegiate foot-ball be giver, up for a year at least, so thatsatisfactory experiments may be made to deter-mine a<ccura*-ely the effects ol proposed chajisres

in the rules. President Eliot believes that thislast mentioned step should be T£ik«r.. Xo r.r.ecan tell how these circumstarK-ee -will work out.3t Is possible that the new inTercoil^giaTe foot- jball committee will make changes in the rules I

which will meet the objections of the board of joverseers and the athletic oommirfee, and that !Intercollegiate football will be permitted to go

'

OH at Cambridge, but if wib were to make a jguess it would be that Harvard would not next jTear piajr ar.y team representing another col-lege.

Autoists Crowd Ormond to See

Giant Cars Compete.IBy T>legTaph to Th« Trlbun«.J

Ormond. Fla. Jan. 21.— That all speed records for

the Ormond-Daytona beach will be broken in the

automobile race meet which will begin here to-

morrow and continue through the week seems as-sured. The cars entered this year have an In-

crease of horsepower of more than 25 per cent overthose of 1905. For the first time In the history of

automobile racing, cars of 200 and SSO horsepower

will be seen in competition.All the hotels here are crowded, and new arrivals

and cars are coming in daily. Most of the racing

cars were out practising on the beach to-day. Sev-eral special trains from New- are due h«ire

to-morrow morning. The beach is hard and firm

and In superb condition for the tests.

The most powerful car in the races here lastyear was the 120-horsepower Mercedes, which wasowned and driven by H. L. Bowden, of Boston.

This machine set the world's straightaway milerecord at 32 4-5 seconds.Inview of the fact that two of the cars entered

this year exceed the horsepower of Mr. Bowden' smaofame by 130 and 80, respectively, it seems likely

that sensational time will be made. In addition,

there are four cars in the contest of 110 horsepower,three of 100 horsepower, two of 90 horsepower anathree of 80 horsepower.

The 250-horsepower machine is owned by AlfredG. Vanderbilt. For months a small army of me-chanics was at work constructing the machine, andbefore he shipped it to Florida there was mucaspeculation among automobilists as to whether hecould get the car dow to the required weight of2.204 pounds and still carry the big engines requiredto develop such tremendous horsepower. It is saidthat the car is under weight, and an excellent pieoeof mechanism.

The 2Cf>-horsepower Darracq machine Is said to

be an excellent car, and also under weight. It isentered in nine of the contests. It will be the firsttest for both of the machines. Hemery, the winnerof the Vanderbllt Cup race last October, will drivethe Darracq car. while Paul Sartorl will pilot theVanderbilt machine.

There is a big failing off of the amateur driversthis year, the- most, notable absentees being Will-iam K. Vanderbilt, jr., E. R. Thomas. WilliamWalace and H. L. Bowden, but the contests willbe graced by many of the best professional driversIn this country and from abroad. H. W. Fletcher,who will drive George W. Young's 110-horsepowerFiat in eleven of the contests, lives in New-York.He gained a reputation as a driver at last year'sraces, when he mad© new world's records for fifty

and one hundred miles. The car he wIU drive thisyear is the one with which Lancia made such awonderful showing in the Vanderbilt Cup race.

Lancia will pilot a new 110 Fiat car entered byHollander & Tangeman in eleven of the contests.Waiter Christie willhave a UO-horsepower machineof his own design entered, but it is undecidedwhether ho or Louis Chevrolet will drive the ma-chine. This machine is entered in six of the con-tests. W. Clifford Earp, one of the best Englishdrivers, will drive S. F. Edge's WO-borsepowerNapier. This make of machine holds the officialrecord for the mile of 34 2-5 seconds

A. L. Guinness, the English sportsman, Is theonly entry in the Corinthian oharapionehip and theCorinthian handicap championship. The two-mile-a-minute contest, to be run In the form of timetrials, is exciting the most interest. Sartor!. Hem-ery. hristie. Fletcher. Lancia, Guinness, the Stan-ley Bteamer, of 30 horsepower, whose driver hasyet to be chosen; C. A. Coey. In a 90-horsepowerThomas car; E. Cedrino, In a 110-horsepower Flat,and Henry Ford, in a 105-hor»epower Ford ma-chine, have entered in this contest, making a totalof ten starters.

The touring car races, which figured in last year'stournament, have been eliminated, with th* excep-tion of one contest. Th««e races did not takethe public fancy last winter, as the powerfulracing machines furnished much more excitement.There are twenty-six contests on the programmethis year, as follows:

The races last year were poorly managed, and. as ja result, dragged out s«veral days b«yond the jscheduled time. This year it is promised that there Iwill be no drag, that all the races on the schedule iwill be run and the tournament clo»*d on the day jset. W. J. Morgan will be in charge again thisyear.

The exact time of starting each race willdependon th« tide and the condition of the beach. That Iportion of the beach used for the races extendsfrom above Ormond to the Matamas Inlet, and is

'about twer.tv miles long, the course passing Sea

'Breeze and Daytona. where the clubhouse of the \u25a0'Florida East Coast Automobile Association is lo- !cated.

At low tide th?r« are 150 or more fsjet of gooddriving surface, and It is so hard that a four-ton,solid tire automobile 'bus leaves no other rut or |mark than a faint white streak. As a rule theentire surface is as smooth as a billiard ball, and jonly under peculiar circumstances of wind and !tide Is any unevenness produced.
