Th« Yale and New-York Athletic Club hockey teams played a tie frame. at flv6 goals each in the Ft. Nicholas Rink last night. A big crowd was in attendance and it showed its appreciation of the fast, snappy play by generous applause. Th» Yale seven has been unable to get any Ice practice this year, but the men played in excel lent form.

Steeplechase Declared Off' Because of Bad Track at City Park. N"»w-Orlears. Dec. 18.— In spite <■,<- the Fact that both tracks to-day were fetlock deep in mud, good siz^d fields went to the post and favorites won their share of the rnoes. -At City Park the infield was in such bad condi tion that, at th*> request of owners and jockeys, the Bteepiechase was declared off. F( would have h<>en dangerous for horses and riders to race over the jumps with the turf fo soft and holding. This did not spoil the programme, as seven races bad been carded. Some rx.-irommt was caused In the sei'rmd race, when Adare, tho favorite, fell seventy yards from th« finish. A dare was plainly beaten at the time, and neither horse nor Jockey was hurt. Pnrislenne., at the lucrative price of 30 to 1, won this race, while Kinpsmere, at M to 1, was second in the first rare. Tinker, Bryan and Sheen w»re the winning favorites. O'N>il and McGee earned the jockey honors at the Fair Grounds, each riding- two winners. Pickles, at 3 to 1, was the only winning long shot. He took the third rnre, heating Imboden, which suffered from Interference and was much 'he best, a head. Calabash Xownes and J. P. Mayberry were the winning first choices.

WOMEN GOT.FERSORGANIZE Eastern Association Launched^— Plans for the Year., The Women's Eastern Golf Association was for mally organized in this city yesterday afternoon. Those -who met at the Hotel Hargrave were Mrs. E. P. Sanford and Mrs. Charles I*. Tiffany, Metro politan Golf Association; Mrs. Caleb F. Fox and Miss Maule. Women's Golf Association of Philadel phia, and Miss Harriet Curtis and Miss Louisa A. Wells, Boston Women's Golf Association. With characteristic carefulness the women re fused to Rive out the list of officers elected, for the reason that some of the favored ones were not present, and It was deemed advisable to refrain from giving out the name.B until It was found out positively whether they would accept. Officer* elected consisted of a president, vice-president, sec retary and treasurer, who, in addition to five others, will constitute th» executive committee. Those at the meeting were the presidents and secretaries of the three associations, save that Miss <^rtis took the place of Miss Keyes. the latter being unable to attend. Miss Curtis is vice-presi dent of the Boston association. The new associa tion intends to prepare articles of incorporation at once. It is quite likely that the Eastern women -will show plenty of activity, for the officials are al ready figuring on an annual team match with the Western Women's Golf Association, this contest to be hold Just before the women's national cham pionship and over the same course. With a view to having the association become a representative body for golfers throughout the East, It has been decided to have all organized clubs eligible to mem bership whether they are members of the United States Golf Association or not. The dues will bo small. Although the ofnVera were not announced yes terday, it was learned that the list embraces rep resentatives of various localities, including New- Tork. Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore. The first annual association championship will be held on a course near Boston, probably in June, In con junction with the tri-city matches for the Clement A. ( rriscom trophy. The officials worked over a constitution and by law* yesterday, and it will be the duty of the new secretary to mail a copy, with an Invitation to join, to all the clubs in the Bast. There is more or less speculation among the women over the probable links for their lixifi na tional championship. The trend or opinion yester <B»y seemed to have a leaning toward Pittsburg. Two years :iko ;i Pittsburg delegate at the annual T'nitod States Golf association meeting put In » strong plefl for the Allegheny County Hub. it Is known that the Oakmont Country Club Is after a championship, h-i( as yet nothing has been heard fmni Pittsburg on the subject. TO OPEN GOLF RAILROAD. In about two weeks' time the new railroad with a station on the links of the Baltusrol Golf Club Tvill ho put into commission. The station has been aporopriately named Baltusroi. Kventually the road will extend from Kenilworth to Summit. CORNELL NAMES DENNIS. Will Be Official Representative on Rules- Committee. ca, N. V".. Dec. 13. The Cornell athletic coun cil to-nigl I appointed Professor 1.. M. Dennis as Cornell's official reprcsentati\-e at <h«^ meeting of the intercollegiate football rules committee In Phii adephia on Fridaj', and to acl until a v rmanent representative can be appointed at the January council meeting. The appointment was made temporary because it whs Impossible to g*l notice of to-night's meeting to the out-of-town alumni tnemhr-rs of the council. Frederick D. Colson waa re-engaged en assistant coach to Charles B. Courtney, of the Cornell navy. REITER'S VIEWS ON FOOTBALL Suggests Compulsory Use of Headgear and No Time Taken Out. . Middletown, Conn., Dec. 1?, (Special).— Howard R. Relt«r. better known as "Bosey." the well known Princeton back a few years agn, who has heen coaching the Wesleyan eleven in the last season, expressed himself to-day In favor of the proposed change in the football rules of ten yards in four downs. He said thai It would call for more punting and less rushing, and thai It would also result in leas scoring, and would give an advantage to the lighter team. He does not think, however, that i 1i 1 would lessen the number of Injuries in n game H» said further: I think that the game needs few additions In penalties, but that thos« now in use should be more fearlessly enforced. To this end a system of se curing officials s'icil a- - is used in the various pro fessional baseball leagues should be available. This system would make duty an end and give fear lessness to the officials. The seven men on the rush line should be made to keep their positions until the ball Is snapped. Tackles back lias a tendency to result In cloned formations. This works against the, smaller col leges, where there, is usually l°ss beef. Another change should do away with the referee signalling the "timekeeper"' to take out time. This would do away with unnecessary wrangling and loss of time. H«> also advocates th" compulsory use <>f tho pneumatic, headpiece to prevent Injury to the h«-ad in rushing or clot..- formations. STUDENT BOARD GETS HEARING. A hearing was given the student board of repre sentatives of Columbia University yesterday by th*i committee on student organizations regarding th« petition whicn the students have submitted asking that the abolishment of football be postponed from January 1 until April 15. The conjmittee refused to talk, simply giving the students a chance to state their own case. The committee will decide about the matter in a day or two. and will then announce their decision to the student board.

When the fifth frame was totaled it stood plus twenty-six pins, and the sixth frame found the difference increased to fifty-six. The New- York five had been running into splits with annoying frequency, but despite this the former champions played a strong uphill game, and at the end there was only a difference of twenty one pins, Jersey City having 867 and New-York M& The. visitors had five splits and eight misses, while. New-York had five, missed spares and eight holes. New-York showed improvement In the second game, flying up to M 3, good enough to win by nearly 100 pins. Jack Preen set the pace with a capital 22?.. Only one error was charged against th« winners, but they had five split*. Jersey bad eight splits and three misses. In th« last game the 'athletJo club team again went over the 900 mark by twenty pins, Sherwood getting 211.
