Tha gumo on the Lincoln oval yesterday "between tho Nebraskans otid tlio Amen Agricultural college was looked forward to by foot ball urines as an opportunity to compsro the condition of Nebraska and Minnesota. A week ago thu Ames agri culturists Journeyed to Minnesota and ! celved one of thu memorable lambastlugs of their history. Minnesota, which has fcecn bewailing" Its lack of material nnd tardiness In gotllng Into form, suddenly dovelopcd Into a squad of huge and well trained athletes In tho eyes of the Hawk eyes, towering head nnd shoulders over Um Iowa farmer lads. With Hi two ends footing up ISO pounds nnd Its average weight only falling a little short of that figure, tho northerners irmpletely out classeil their Iowa brethren. Nebraska was nothing daunted, however, and was hopeful of making an equally creditable showing. The rnmplalnt of the Kansans. Inst year's ponnant winners, that their material Is poor and their enthusiasm listless seoms to bn inoro substantial than mere talk calculated to inspire false confidence In the hearts of Nebraskans and others who will meet them on the oval. In the open ing game with Ottawa the State university was only able ' win by the narrow margin of 6 to o. tho goal beltiR scored at tho very end of the game. The lack of phyalral training Is shown by the fact that several men wero hurt, Illack, fullback, being still kept off the oval. Odell at half was also put on tho Invalid list and I only able to put In half time. Correspondents of Kansas City and St. Louis papers take pains to promote this Impression of general Invalidism and tho Olobo-Domocrat remarks that the whole squad Is very soro as the result of thu Ottawa game and has not been able to practice regularly since. The correspond ent concludes, gloomily, ,ib fallows: "Tho team Is not In as good loudlllon ns It wan last year at this time nnd the lightness of tho men Is not made up for by extra nctlvlty in playing. Tho eleven will prob ably not bo ns strong as lust season." Tho Nebraskans, who are lo meet the Kansans on November 17 at Lawrence, are not putting too great reliance In those at ounts. however, and will make thu Jour ney fully equipped anil determined to v. In back tho laurels lost to the Jaylmwkers. along with several other eleven'-, a cnr ago. Tho Nebraskans probably have more lo fear this year from the game on" Novem ber li at Columbia, Mo., than In the eon teat at Liiwrence. In the emit cut with the medical students at Klrksvlllo last week . the Missouri university boys showed ex follent team woik. In tho precision of movement of its mass play the eleven, even this early In tho near.on. Is said lo be stronger than that of any over put Into tho field by the unlvctalty. Tho schedule rf panes announced for Missouri shows that most of the garnet nro to bo played In Columbia. That town Is said to havo developed Into a settle ment of pigskin enthusiasts anil games there pay better than In many more pre tentious cities. The schedule fur thejen son Is as follows: October 15, Warrens burg. In Columbia; October 20 or 22. Kan sas City Medics, at Kansas City; Novem ber 5, Nebraska university. In Columbia; November 17 or 1!), Kansas City Medio, In Columbia; Thanksgiving day. Kansas university. In Kansas City. Several other games will doubtless be added to the list before the season closes. The llrst two or three weekr. of active work has afforded a satisfactory Insight Into tho makeup of tho Ulg Pour. Harvard making tho loast creditable showing or thorn nil. Thu crimson players are suffer ing for n lack of rush line material, thu banks being nimble to show their real merit becaue the lino Is unnblo' to hold back the adversary. The Iocs of tho three center men Is felt severely and the Cam bridge men will bo thankful If largo gains aro not made through HiIb weak spot. Yalo proposes to carry a weight of flctih nnd bono Into the conflict', which bodes 111 for any wenkllug opponent. The two halves and tho fullback aggregate In weight nearly fiOO pounds and the quarter adds 160 more to the mass. Tho only de fect In Yale's showing Is the tardiness with which the back Held gots Into motion, the heavy men apparuntly paying tho penalty In lack of sprlghtllness. ' ' Tho Quakers will also put a team of weighty men upon tho oval, both the lino and tho back Held being considerably iinre bulky than a year ago. I'ennay was par ticularly unfortunate in the way of acil dents last season, and Coach Woodruff has gona systematically about preventing such occurrences thia fall. Busier games have been scheduled for the earlier part of tho season, and so far no player has been hurt. Tho men nro In excellent physical condi tion for tho moro Important games no? at hand and the coach believe their train ing will nnder them moro or less Immune from. Injury. The strong potntH of each candidate havo been so dourly defined that It has been possible to name tho perma nent Incumbents of each position even thus early in tho season. Princeton has an nbundance of good ma terial and the rush lino Is In satisfactory condition. Tho team Is showing good de velopment In thn famous end Interference which did such execution last year, 'es pecially In tho gamo with Yale.

In California there Is a promise that several tracks will be con structed.

Los Angeles made ft success of two nights of racing weekly Inst winter and will repeat this during th coming winter, starting about Christmas time. LUIng Is cheap In Los Angeles and getting there Is not expenslvo when It Is figured that there are tourHt r.itcs. Get ting back is another question. The promoters of cycle race meets say that the stopping of prize fighting by the repeal of the Horton law will have tho effect of looming cycle racing, particularly In Now York, this winter. -They nrguo that the lovers of sport have a certatn amount of money which they reservo by the month or week, as their means permit, to spiud In sport, nnd that If these men cannot get what they want, which In this case must bo prize fighting, they will tpend their money In the next best game.

Now that the money Is lying Idle, or going whero tho promoters th'nk It has ni business to go, they are talking of giving several big Indoor cycle mects,thls winter, with big prizes for motor cycle races ami tho like.

Ho has been successful, too, and his record shows up with the best of them. The Omaha Kid has been in the ring since lfcslt nnd has ever since followed pugilism as tho means of gaining n liveli hood. It Is a matter of common knowl edge that Gardner devotes but little of his tlmo to training, but keeps In constant trim by continual fighting. As an example of tho almost continuous performance which has characterized Gardner's work may be cited tho fart that In the last two weeks ho has fought three men. all of them recognized as tho best talent lu their class. He beat Tim Callahan In six rounds at Philadelphia, whipped Eddie Lenny in twenty rounds a week ago Satur day night at Newark, O., and lost to Dave Sulllvannt Loulsvlllo Monday night. This was a twentytround go, but Gardner claimed a foul In the fourteenth round nnd reftiKed to continue when tho refereo Ig nored his claim. Gardner hns not limited himself to fight ers In the featherweight division, but haa taken on all comers, size, weight, color or previous condltiou cutting no flguro with him. Gardner Is nt his best nt lib pounds, but baa fought at catchwnlghts up to 1.10 pounds and has met welterweights and convinced them that ho wns by no means outclassed. The fight with Smith will be at 121 pounds and this weight will find Gardner In splendid lighting trim. ' ' ' ' For this reason, if no other, some In terest centers in the fight scheduled to take place In Chicago November 13 be tween McCoy und Jack Hoot. Ordinarily su'h a contest should prove a big drawing card, but whether, under tho circum stances. It will do so remains to be Been, Corbett Implies In the numerous Inter views he has recently been giving the pub lie that he proposes to take no chances with the credulity of tho people. Ho saya: I don't think I will eer tight ngaln, and to tell you the truth. I ilmi t care If I evr do. for I am too mu.ii dltgJtted with everything If I Hbnuld tight, what would the public think?

It Is quite the fashion now for n pugilist to retire from the ring, or at any rule an nounce his retirement. It reminds one ol the "actress and her lost diamonds" dodge, pugilists profit quite ns much by advertis ing as does the successful business mnn and they appreciate this fact. Following Fltzslmmons and McCoy comes Joe Choy nskl, who says he has decided to quit the business.

GOOD ADVICE FOR WHISTERS Prartli-i- of Cluintclim Suit I" I'.tnij StiiKi'" t !- "rill In "! Coillllll-lltllllllO. The following from the St. Louts Globe Dtiiociitt should bo of Interest to local whlstcrs. Whero an adversary Is short of your suit you will generally Und him with a strong trump hand and a force, as I a rule, Is very detrimental to him. L'n lest you can lead trumps or open up an other suit satisfactorily it Is much bettei to continue your original opening. ! "The authorities of tbo present day nre I unanimous In the opinion that clianglng j sulta In the enrly stages of a deal is gen orally losing tactics. This principle Is the i I most recent addition to the theory of the vantage these day's and Is IralnTnfi win, a Kara0J . 11 U r?Ivfd 'rT, V".0'""00 I dllgetice that promises well for his condi tion on the night of the fight. Ills train ing quarters down on Vinton street, near tho ball park, witness a buBy acene day In and day out and his trainer, Eddie Robin son, Is putting the dusky pugilist through a pace that Is n hot one nnd no mistake. Tho ting experience of this promising young amateur has been confined to seven teen battles and it is only within tho Inst year that he has shown championship pos sibility. Smith Is only 21 yenrs old nod started In the pugilistic gamo out on tho Pacific coast when h wan something of a kid. IIo was signally successful In tho twelve bouts he had In different cities out west, although nono of tho men ho met was of any prominence. Slncn comlnir to Omaha he has had llvo' fights and has won nil hut tho first, which was a six-round batte to n draw with George Davis. Ho defeated Andy Tucker lu llvo. Frank Wil liams In twolve, Jnck Thornton, welter weight. In two, nnd put Australian Hilly Murphy to tho bad In a half-round. Trainer Robinson haa been devoting him self during tho past two weeks In teaching Smith somo ot the necessary, rudimentary points of the game, of which before ho was densely Ignorant. Robinson, who In an old-timer In tho business, having for merly been connected with the old Olmyplo club In 'Frisco as on ofllelal, cays he never had a moro apt pupil. Smith Ib now an adept nt shifting nnd sidestepping nnd has a natural fund of knowledge about block ing and effective straight punches. Cvcry afternoon Smith has n rub with I,erny. a husky welter who la assisting in Jordan and Hcannell... Comtock und Melkle Mopnweil and mc.-nuu lleed and Rlnebart. .. Hrunr.or and Redlck. llushman and Thoinns.. his training, and never falla to give Leroy Serlhncr and White.. a swat mat sends mm to the races, and and West-' i-e-ruy m mi uuu in mat. omiin nas a regu lar dally program mapped out for him und follows tho routine without dlvergenes. He rises nt 6 and after a breakfast of fruit, mutton chops, soft boiled eggs, dry toast and weak tea takes a fifteen-mile) spin on tno" roan, returning nt 10:30 for an al coholic batl and rub down. For dinner hla menu consists of rare roast beef, a single vegetnme in small quantity, rlco pudding and a bottle of Rass ale. Until 2.30 the little fellow entertains his friends and then tho balance of tho afternoon Is filled In with ball playing, bag punching, rope, skip- ping and sparring with partner and trainer. How much credence Is given by the sporting element In the chnrgrs of fakery made against the McCoy-Corbett go will probably be demonstrated In the future patronago accorded tho prlnrlpals In the much-discussed affair. If the sporting contingent continue to separata themselves from their money In order to see el hjr of tbo men In the ring, then the cries nf fake will bo branded as receiving no endorse ment from tho devotees nf tha ring. Hut If on the contrary tho fights In which either of the men appears as a participant are pulled oft without tha patronago here tofore accorded any bout wherein either has been a principal, then the fact will develop that sporting mrn view with sus picion the antics of McCoy and Corbttt. which has taught players that all suits, tin less headed by a Bequenco of at least threo cards, nro opened to a disadvantage. No longer ago than 1S60, Dr. Pole, who was at tl.at time the leading authority upon tho prlclples of whist, luld It down as a rule that a player should open his own long bult beforo returning that of his partner, and tor many yenra thereafter tho doctrine had general acceptance. It Is now, howover, universally ngreod that, tho chauces boltig adverse to thn establishment of one suit, oven though both partners concentrate their efforts upon tho eutcrprlue. playing for two suits Is to creato unnecessary dimcultlea and Is Ukoly to render both useless, whereas, by endeavoring to es tablish one nnd employing tho other In an auxiliary capacltS' to facllltato tho process by supplying ro-cntry, tho powur of tbo combined hand3 Is moat effectively ap plied. "Somo nf tho best playora maintain, and the contention appears to bo supported by practical experience, that It Is better to contlnuo a suit, even nt tho risk of allow ing a weak adverse hand to ruff, than to chnnge at random. This opinion does not contemplato the forelug ot an adversary who Is known or Inferred to bo short of t tumps, much less the continuance of tho r.ult, of which both the opponents nre de void."
