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. Princeton
has arranged a number of games with
minor colleges in the south, so that It
does not expect to exert Itself very vlo

will see a lot of sport. In California there
Is a promise that several tracks will be con

will doubtless be a case of California fever
with many of the most prominent rf.clng
men and with numerous of the le?s prom

success of two nights of racing weekly Inst

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

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. In tho winter seasons
there havo been no tports to make a sub
stitute, llasket ball and Indoor base ball
hare been tho only tports besides the one
week of cycling racing at Madison Square
Garden. 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

other sports as well and In It the athletic

Tom Cooper's latest letter was written In
Pelglum September 17 and the lio-rolt cyclist
was feeling well physically and quite easy
financially, as tho day beforo he wrote he
picked up a purse of J3P0 at Antwerp, while
the 'second week In that month brought

They won that sum In races at the reposi

allowed to ride there would be nothing to It
but first money's for the Amerliau trio.
McPnrland Is not n sprinter, his long suit
being middle distance races and handienps,
so ho Is not able to help Cooper much In

After the present wrek golf on the Country
club llnliH will suffer an Inevitable de
cline despite tho presence there of many
golfers of stern stuff who would trudgo
around the eighty acres, even though they
luy deep In snow. Tho social end of the
club's life came to n formul conclusion nt
the hop last night and golf Is a dull grind
without good company. Tho soclnl life will
not become at once extinct ns n matter of
course and Informal affairs will continue, It
Is hoped, for many days, but, with tho open
ing of tho season In town. Damo Society
looks with less and less favor upon a long
drive to tho northwest on a chilly evening
with tho darkness following closo on tUo
heels of the dinner hour.
So tho golfers If! whoso brcastn tho dinner
and tho danco are cherished more dearly
than the rudo Scottish sport will fall off
gradually and take their stations In down
turn drawing rooms. Thjs class nlong with
tho thoroughbreds have been making tho

though tho turf , Is naturally in a much
altered state from Its mliUummer green

speeds on a keener pneo than when warm,

The Interest at the moment centers In
the second of tho contests for the Omaha allotted task.

That department Is studying tho subject of
the making of good roads ns well ns tho
conditions which make them necessary. It
has established stations In every stnto
whoro lessons In road building are taught.
Tho government has also Issued this year
thousands of pamphlets on tho subject. Tho

there whero roads nre very bad, these gov

result can but be good.
The winter promises to be lively for both
Promoters ntii springing up everywhere
and next season will see a score of new
coliseums throughout the country nnd more
cycle racing than tho present small army
of 135 professionals can well attend to.
There Is every Indication, after the suc
cesses nt Springfield, Worcester, Hartford,
New Haven, Baltimore, Omaha and other
points, that a score of tracks .,111 bo added
to tho list. Paced racing at present haa
the call on these tracks, owiug to tho tactics
employed by the sprint riders, but the latter
class may ngaln work their way to tho top
by a mere change of policy. They know
their game full well and they realize that
they must act and act quickly or lose al
together. The sprinters must chnnge their
tactics or enter nnother game where pace
Is employed and whero team work and loaf
ing races are out of the question. Those In
authority really have little patience with
men who are unfair enough to combine four
and five against single meli, although the
single men must bo given credit for respect
ing tho sport sufilclent to take their beat
ings with confidence In the controlling body.
Combinations nro nlready being made for
tho Blx-day team races at Madison Square
garden this winter. It Is said that Floyd
McFarland will rido In the content, but
with what mato Is not known. There Is a
rumor that McKachern will be the mate of
Wallor. It Is albo said that Charlie Miller
and McKachern will unite. Tho statement
Is made that Plerco and Walthour will tie
up. Glmm Is training hard now. Waller and
Stlnutou would bo a good combination, as
Sttntson Is managed by Waller and both
finished last season. Charllo Turvllle and
K. IV Slovens form a strong duo. John
Jacobson, being now a professional, may be
Induced to go. Several teams from Kurnpe
are looked for. Pop Kikes may bring a
couplo with him.
Tho raotoi- pacl;eniaker nre talking
rcrlously of organizing a union to name rates
and to rcgulato paeemnklng. The In
troduction of green men upon the motor
places tho lives of the experienced men In
Jeopardy, aud they feel that the practice
should be stopped. The union would com
pel tho trial of a new man In somo rnce of
not much consequence, nud would compel
tho motor men to show that they knew
something of their machines before they
go on the track. There aro about 100 men
regularly employed In motor pacing, nnu
theso make fair living wages for their
dangerous work. They feel that they BboulU

Toe clips nre distinctly advisable on a free
wheel to enable tho feet to keep secure hold
of tho pedals, but caro should be taken to
avoid uMng them for driving by pushing
downward with tho toes. It Is also useful
to have shallow bars of leather on tho soles
of tho shoes to lit tho rcdnis. For quick,
easy -pedaling one naturally places the ball
of ono foot Just over the pedal pit, but for
heavy hill work the strain on tho muscles
Is much redjeed by moving tho foot a little
further forward. The too clips should bo
fitted for tho easy pedaling position, aod the
other side of tho pedal used for Hill climb
ing. A new tiro has studs Imbedded In Its
walls, the shanks of which p;otrude Into
holes In tho rim and prevent It from
"creeping." Cement Is said to be unneces
sary, but may bo used If desired.

Alreailv.
The new Cricket and Athletic club Is now
nn assured fact. Messrs. Francis, Ltonou
nnd Ileynolds, who hnv had charge of the
preliminary arrangements and conducted
the canvass for members, havo succeeded
beyond their expectations and havo already
secured many . moro than tho 150 members
whom it wns' deemed necessary to havo
beforo inaugurating any real work In the
enterprise. Theso gentlemen havo received
ouch encouragement from thu young men
of 'the city and the Idea seems to have been
welcomed with such enthusiasm by nil wiio
have been approached on the subjoct that
it now seems probablo tho club will reach
proportions never dreamed of when firat
proposed.
The first meeting nt the prospective
members will bo held nt Hoyal Arcanum
hall some tlmo tho latter part of next
v'eck, probably Thursday, October 25, und
nt that meeting tho location for the
grounds, plans for tho club houso and
many othor Important matters will be
thoroughly dlsrussed and plans formulated
for Immediately beginning actlvo work.
It Is now the expectation that tho club
house and grounds will be made ns at
tractive for the women as for tho mrn.
Tennis, cricket, base ball, bowls, curling
and golf. It the size and location of the
grounds will premlt, are the games to bo
'promoted. The list for chartor members

One week from Wednesday night lu Wash
ington hall admirers ot the art Qstlaua will
congregate' from miles around to witness
what promises to be a rattling good flt;ht
between Halch Smith, the local colored
pugilist, and 0car Gardner, conceded to be
one ot the top-notchers muong the smaller
fighters In the country. The match Is
scheduled to last for twenty rounds and local
sporting enthusiasts anticipate a go that will
give every spectator his money's worth and
to spare. It will bo tho meeting ot an
nmnteur of undlsuutcd cleverness and un
limited ambition nnd a tighter who la con
ceded to be entitled to tho nppellatton ot tho
greatest lighting machine in the country,
Ilut the fact that one ot the contestants In
this forthcoming bnttlo within tho squared
circle Is recognized as an amateur does not
nercsjarlly imply that the old-t me ting per
former and successful lighter will havo a
walkaway. On the contrary Oscar Gardn -r
will meet an antagonist who measures well
up to his own stature In ability and clever
ness and is lacking in only the one point of
piolonged experience. Smith Is fast on his
feet, a hard puncher and well versed in the
art of defence.
While It does not seem likely that Smith
will win the light, he has a host of follow
ers who will not be convinced of this fact
until ho Is administered a knockout and
they even Insist that such will not bo the
termination of the light. If a knockout
tomi'S, they claim. Smith will be on his feet.
tho victor, when the fatal ten Is called off.
Allowing a grain to these optimistic ntsor
tlons unblnseil optn on necessarily forces the
conclusion that Smith will put up a rattling
good tight nnd will convince Oscar Gardner
that Omaha wns not for all time bereft of
pugilistic talent when he pulled up stakes
and left the city, nfter beginning what has
developed Into n wonderful career, right here
lu Omaha, whero he returns to give another
aspiring youngster n show for fame and a
tea oaable wealth, such as Gardner has
gained.

uf the t'nitcd Stnte.c
Oscar Gardner H certainly a veritable
phenom In pugllUtle drclss. He has demon
strated that bo Is a whirlwind of a fighter
and has mado tho business serve his own
llnaneial ends, fighting nt all times nnd in
all places wherever there was an opportu
nity to clean up a piece of money. In order
to do this Gardner hat fought a surprising
number of battles, often fighting three men
In as many different places In that number
of days. 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? Why, thev would say I was going
to fake It with toy opponent. 1 have never
been mixed up In a fake tight In my lit,
and I defy any one to -onie forward and
pr.ive that m light vvltu McCoy wan a
If I was In the habit of quitting I think
I would be better thought of. ThN fa'.re
ktntement a.t to the McCoy tight woull
never Iihw been made It It was rot ."r
Honest John Kelley and n few others, w li

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. Choynskl has been In the ring
about as long ns any ot tho present day

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 most recent addition to the theory of the

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

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." Tho following la tho score for the Wednes
