I THE OMAHA DAILY J?EE: SUNDAY, OCTOJBI3K 21, 1900. 11 i J t K NEBRASRASS ARE CONFIDENT Lincoln Foot Ballists Eager to Meet Univer sity of Minnesota Team, INTERESTING GAME IS PROMISED Home Tcmn Think II Slum Ilia AkuIii( Amen NuUlclent (o Wnr rnnt a Hope nf HcntliiK (lophcr. Manager Harry Tukoy of tho University of Nebraska foot ball team spent a day last week with his parents In this city and showed a just and proper Jubilation over the recent showing of tho 'vatslty squad. The defeat of Ames on Saturday, SO to 0, com pared favorably, ho foil, with Minnesota's victory of 27 to 0. "It Is true that Ames was In better shape whon H met Minnesota," said Manager Tukey, "but on tho other hand, we made n bettor scoro In twenty mlnuto halves than Mlnntiolo did in thirty nnd twcnty-uvc-mlnuto halves. "The MlnncBotans art- ii xoud deal heavier than our fellows and nro nld to average 180 pounds to the nun V.e haven't de termined our average Weight as yet, but It Is a good deal less than that, Just as Chi cago's was. Tho Ames coah expressed the opinion to mo that wo would have n good deal of troublo bucking tho lino on account of tho Oophcrs' bulk, but that If wo could glvo another such exhibition, of running with tho ball as wo did with Ames wo ought to mako long gains around tho end. We found Ames easy prey In this direction nnd tho scoro Blood virtually 48 to 0, three goals being loit by somo wholly unnecessary oft sldo work. Such errors In form as this will ho remedied long beforo Thanksgiving day and wo will mako tho showing of our lives against Minnesota." "Thcro Is no doubt," concluded Manager Tuk?y, "tliRt Nebraska has tho beat team In years. Tho men aro coming out splendidly under training and tho Jealousy and lack of harmony of a year ago have wholly disap peared. 1 nm only borry that Minnesota didn't win outright from Chicago It would have added that much to our glory." Tho University of Nebraskn has so fur unbent as to glvo one unimportant game to Omaha. Manager Tultoy Bald that the game with (irlnnell will occur In this city on Novembor 10. Omaha enthusiasts nro bring ing all possible prcssuro to hear on the Lincoln men to tranufcr tho Thanksgiving gamo with Minnesota to Omaha, Instead of depending upon tho Blunder resources of tho capital city. It has been pointed out that after Minnesota's virtual victory over the Maroons, tho peoplo of Douglas county would puy money almost to a man to see the con test. They realize that If Nebraska can only acquit Itsolf with credit with the northern ers that they, too, oven as did Iowa, will find themselves worthy of moro lofty as sociations. A victory over Minnesota In Omaha would do untold things for foot ball In this section and from the manager's ac count of his team It seems tally equal to tho task. Tho manager nnd his colleagues, Jiow over, fail to show the expected wtlllus ness under this llro of argument and havo so far held- fnst to their original Inten tion of experimenting with an audience In their homo town. They, point out tho great saving in expense In not being obliged to transport und entertain their team In Omaha and 'bclluvo that Lincoln, as a university town, will lurn out unani mously to sco tho contest. Tho oulclals tefcr'lo the fluanciul failures of Thanks giving games In Omaha during tho Inst ! few yearn, making sultnblo allowance, ns j they say, for tho blizzards which thave Invariably attended tho contests In this city. Tho enthusiasts for their pnrt hold that It might anow In any town and that Omaha may reasonably hop for better luck on thin occasion. Whether this ar ray of logic will h.ivo any final force Is a question for tho next few weok3. Coach Stagg of Chicago was n gloomy r.nd long-faced Individual after the game with Minnesota ono week ngo and tho Minneapolis press had dlfllculty In per fcuading him to express himself. "Mr. Ktcgg was anything but comniunlcatlvo utter the gnme," remarks tho Minneapolis Tribune. "When asked what ho thought of the tiutcomo ho replied; 'It was un expected.' Just who did not expect It ho did not say nnd It was Impossible to It.arn from him anything of his opinion of Minnesota's team or its chances for the future. Tho members of the Chicago team wero equally uncommunicative," Cheered by Its honorable record In the Chicago gamo the Mlunesotnns nro bo glcnlng to aspire to tho championship of tho west, although there aro soveral very active Impediments In their way. Tho mo'st formidable one auido from Ne braska Is Wisconsin, whom the gophers meet on November 3 nftcr a period of small exertion, having faced Grrnnell yes terday and North Dakota being scheduled for next Saturday. Thon follow games with Illinois and Northwestern on suc ceeding Saturdays, which (should bo a matter of running down the field nnd over tho goal lino after tho form shown In tho gamo with the MnrooiiH, Nebraska has nothing hut good wishes for tho Mlune sotnns and desires that they bring all tho scalps possible, to Lincoln on Thanks giving day. When ho reached home Coach Stagg was lfss taciturn and had tho following to ay of tho Minnesota team: As to our own prospects, the chnnccs nro against our rolng through tho season with out defeat. I have mild nit nlong that the good now men havo not come to us. While our train will not be topnotchers. It will be a good team before the end of tho season. Our forwards complained of holding, and I bellrve what they say. They art' too good and they fought too hurd to b put out In any other way. Moreover, I know that If fin umpire doesn't pennllze there will ho holding. X'mplre Anderson did not Indict n Single penalty. Ho didn't watch tho gamo for violations of the rules'. That fnct In It self was enough to chango tho result of tho Whole, game. Our team outplayed Mlnnesotn durlnn tho second half, no far as the amount of ground galuoii is concerned. Chicago Bntnel 231 ynnlH. Minnesota 153. In the tlrst half they outplnyed us badly ns far ns. the amount of ground gained shows, making 219 yards to our tlfty-two. Thnt averages more gains for Minnesota, but we threatened their foal one J'mo more than they ours, Our men were gamo to the finish.

Neither Missouri nor Kansas Is up to tho form of tho old leaguo days and Missouri Is specially hard put to It for worthy men. Tho university Is said to bavo the truo spirit, however, and moro candidates turned out for practlco tho day after the gamo than had ever appeared before, It the squal shows this cort of enthusiasm In tho face of defeat their supporters may still (eel full of hope as to tho outcome. Tho Thanksgiving game between the two universities of Kansas and Missouri prom ises to bo an even match, as the Lawrence lads aro malting but little better showing than tho Tigers. Tho defeat of tho team by tho minor college of Washburn was a hard blow to state university vanity. Steps were nt once taken to secure players who will add to the strength of the team, but who have hitherto been barred by the "presidents' agreement" under which Kan sas has been playing for several years. This movo Is violently objected to In the Missouri press as professionalism and promlies to glvo to bitterness of spirit. Tho Nebraskans nro watching with In terest tho progress of their ancient ena mlos, the Iowans, although It will not bo I heir privilege to meet them In this par ticularly favorable year, when tho Lincoln men feel themselves sufficiently strong Und skillful to make Amends for a past humilia tion. Tho game scheduled between Amos and Iowa for yectcrday was declared off so that means of comparison between Iowa, Mlnnesotn nnd Nebraska was denied to tha critics. In the game with Cornell college a week ago Iowa got no further thnn n scoro' of 6 to 0, not a' vdry stalwart figure. GOLFERS STILL HAUNT LINKS (,'nrl vtilcd Wenther if I'nut Week Knjoyed In tin- Tulleat Extent by Country CI ill, Member. Thn second contest for tho championship cup offered' by tho extinct Omaha Oolf club whs entered' Into yesterday afternoon on tho Country club links, sixteen .members tak ing n hand, Leltoy Austin, who had one of tho three triumphs necessary to complete ownership to his credit, bus been absent from tho city and failed to enter the lists. Tho lineup for tho first round was as fol lows: Kinalcr against T. II. Kimball, Mora man ngalnst Lcmtst, Haskell against It. It. Kimball, Leavltt against Koyo, Lewis against Lawrlo, Ilahm against Buckingham, Ilancker against Hums, Redlck ngalnst Fair field. At a recent meeting II. Lawrle was ap pointed chairman of the greens committee, which has charge of all tho athlotlc doings nnd nppurtenances of tho club. Mr. Lawrle Is an enthusiastic and experienced golfer and has several projects under way for the Improvement of tho golf facilities. Thero has recently been a revival of golf among tho women after n period of lassi tude and many nro seen on the links theso Indian summer afternoons whoso faces have bccu'mlsstng during tho summer. An nettve Intercut was taken In the tourney for the Lemlst trophy, competed for by tho women members ono week ago. Miss McShano de served her honors nnd played a careful, steady game. The work of Jllss Kountzo and others was scarcely less deserving of prnlto. Tho contest, however, was not nota blo tor excellence of play and the contest ants are expected to show Improvement as they accustom themselves to that trylug ordeal tournament piny. Those who' reaped disappointment In tho match ft week ago will have a chance to gather now honors next Wednesday, when a handicap cup will bo hung" up by the Women's Golf club for tho best woman player. This organization was an adjunct of tho old Omaha CJdlf club; tile donor of the tournument cup. Tho women's auxiliary found that it also had money in tho treasury with no more worthy an end to which to devote It than a cup to be striven for by women. " Tho conditions of the tournament havo not as yet been clven out. As autumn draws near to Its closing hour thero Is no cessation In tho attend ance on tho links. Tho unrivaled weather has had much to do with sustaining tho Interest and the golfers find this tho most Ideal of nil seasons for the pursuit of their favorite Bport. Tho sun Is nei ther too hot nor the chilj too penetrating for nctivo employment and the turf Is In an elastic, sprightly condition, which makes 200-yard drives secjm within the reach of nirn of ordinary mighty Tho closing of tho dining room at tho end of tho mouth will doubtless havo some effect upon tho attendance, but so' far tho al leged closing ball of one, week ngo has served rather as a boom than otherwise. An enjoyable dinner and danco were given lust night to magnify tho prowess of tho high men In the tourney and both the athletic and social branches seemed safo for a long lease .of life. J. II, Taylor, who wai beaten In the golf championship at wheaton by Harry vardon, has sailed for England to take part In the mid-Surrey tournament. Ho announced his Intention of returning to tho United States and said that ho had found tho golf standard much higher here than ho expected. Tho players In tho United Stntes were equally well Impressed and found Mr. Taylor a Bportsman and a gentleman. Mies Mary Knnpp In "Coif" Imparts the following good advice: 1. Drive In hnHte and repent at leisure. 2. Look before you loft. 8. The cour.to of truo golf never did run smooth. (. No use swearing over lost balls, 6. No man Is a hero to his caddie. a.

Tho haudlcapplng will bo dono by an unprejudiced committee. Mem bers of the club look forward to tho event with genuine Interest and It promises to awakon n marked enthusiasm. President Charllo Johannes oxpeuta that the mem bership of tho club will bo represented by a large proportion. Kd Krug writes from Lnngdon, his favor ite stamping grounds, a few lines which speak moro eloquently than could volumes written by a uovlce. Krug wrltos: "Klue crapplo fishing. Large strings caught every day by fishermen." Dr. Owon roturncd a few days ago from Washington, where he spent a short time fishing and had a most delightful anil suc cessful outing. His string of fish nnd his tales of the great number left by him up caught wcro too much for Albert Edholm and tho latter took tho nrst train for the lake to spend a few days. Charllo llogers, Sam Harlow and George nntrlkln hied themselves off Friday for a sylvan spot In Mlnuesota, known only to tho members of the trio, to fish and hunt for ti brief period, Upon their return their friends expect to be regaled with stories of wonderful adventures and extraordinary finds, even though there la nothing tangible to back up the asaorttona. PICK SMITH FOR THE WINNER Local Sporta Confident that Colored Boy Will Best Gardner. IS GETTING IN PINK OF CONDITION Miiiiitucmrii t nf Club (llici (luitrmity Hint I'nUhm Will llr Alton ril lit the 1'IkIK. Us Conscientious training under tho di rection of an expert at, tho business nnd a determination suggesting the bulldog tenacity peculiar to many colored prize fighters aro thO elements warranting the belief on tho part of many that Hatch Smith will win his twenty-round go with Otrar Gardner at Washington hall Wednesday ulght. interest In tho allalr on tho part of local devotees of the prlzo ring Is becoming accelerated as tho dato of tho contest draws near and tho pros picts nro that tho ovent will bo a banner ono lu tho hlbtory of Omaha sporting aftalrs. Not only will this bo truo in point of attendance, but as well In Its Inaugu rating tho revival of legitimate sport In this city, nnd that, too, under aujplccs that nro ahegcher promising. Thoro wero many skeptics In Omaha a brief whllo ago when tho announcement was mado that Gardner had consented to n match with Hunky Smith, a comparative unknown. It was qulto tho general opin ion that Smith would be Just so much easy money for tho old-tlmo "Omaha Kid," whoso ring career has been par ticularly successful for many years past. There were some, however, who wero bet ter acquainted with Smith's qualifications ns a pugilist. Ho had given a good ac count of himself lu amateur bouts with husky colored men who punch qulto as ef fectively as the professionals, and ho had put Australian Billy Murphy to tho bad In less than one round, defeating a fighter who was once a world's champion. Remembering these performances these few predicted that Smith would bo able to tnko euro ofhlmsclf with Oscar Gard ner or nn other fighter of his own weight, nnd tbetr predictions have become tho opinions of a wide circle of well In formed sporting men, as tho result of tho magnificent showing Smith had mado in his training operations. Not ono minute slnco ho began his training for tho bout with Murphy has ho relaxed In his dili gence, and u dally routine has been fol lowed out under tho direction of Eddie Hoblnson, as capablo and conscientious a trainer as Smith could possibly havo se cured. Today Smith is in Bplendld trim. His muscles havo been worked nnd kneaded, nnd massaged to glvo thou elas ticity and flexibility or hardened, wherever necessary, so that they will aervo as pro tection to tho framo of tho fighter when Oscar Gardner chances to get In ona of his sledge-hammer blows. Smith has becomo an expert at side stepping and has cultivated a natural short-arm punch which looks llko n win ner. Ho Is tho possessor of n remark ably good wind and ahovo all has a grim determination to win or bo nblo to go Into his dressing room conscious of a faLuro resultant In no measure from lack of effort. Wherein Smith Is lacking Is In ring generalship, but ho Is a cool-headed darkey, has his wits about hint nt all stages and his lack of experience may be offset by reason thereof. Appreciating all of theso conditions It looks, at any event, ns though Smith wero In position to meet his opponent upon a fairly equal level. If he vjcro not th6 light would loso Its zest, but it he Is, and feuch seems to bo tho caso, thoro- Is no reason why tho contest should not bo an eminently satisfactory one, whatever way It terminates. Of course Gardner has tho best of It when ono remembers his long ring career and tho experience It 4iaa naturally given him. Ho Is considered a ring general par excellence and goes In with a confidence of early In tho struggle gaining nn Insight Into his opponent's weak points and pursuing his wnrfaro along tho Hues suggested by tho knowledge thus learned. (Inrdncr Is a fighting machlno, puro and simple, and ho has tho business down al most to a science. It has been u marvel to tho fighting world how Gardner skips about tho country, making long Jumps, and keeps up almost a continuous performance within the roped arena. Ho tackles almost any ono ahywhero near his weight, cops out tho coin and bags his share of the victories, too. When Gardner puts In his appcaranco at Washington hall Wednesday night tho crowd will Bee a fighter who occupies an unlquo position In pugilistic circles for tho very reason that he Is a veritable whirlwind of endurance and his scrappy proclivities preclude nono with whom there is tho slightest opportunity of his making a creditable Bhowing. Gnrdnor for tho past month has been on tho go most of tho time. Friday night he fought Tim Callahan In Philadelphia and Is now aboard n train enrouto for Omaha. Tho Kid has not had any tlmo for training, but has kept himself In trim by continual fighting. Ho carries along a punching bag and his sparring partner and while en routo does nctivo work In the baggage car of tho train which Is carrying him from ono place to another. Wednesday night's program will Include a six-round bout between Paul Murray and tho "Yellow Hammer," a darkey fighter who has designs on Murray's honors as champion middleweight of Ncbrasku. It promises to bo a red-hot Btrugglo from start to finish. But tho big preliminary ovent will bo a "battle royal" which Man ager Farrlsh bolloves will take tho crowd by Btorm. A half dozen colored lads, all of them of more or less ring experience, will bo turned looso In tho ropes and tho ono who stays on his foet tho longest will bo tho victor. This affair will bo somo thing after tho fashion of tho old school spelling bees, only the exercise will bo a deal moro violent. Ono of tho things connected with tho forthcoming bout that Insures its legitimacy and tho absence of fiikory and Jobbery Is tho selection of a refcreo whose reputation Is well established. Jimmy Dardell, one of tho referees at Tattersaljs In Chicago, will ofllclato In tho Gardner-Smith bout and that fact Is a guaranty that there will be no repetition of tho Supplcs-Abbott hippodrome, which disgusted Omaha sporting circles a fow monthg ago. During tho twenty rounds tho go Is scheduled for, or that' portion that It continues, tho fighters will not ho permitted to shirk or "play horse," for Jimmy Bardell will see to It that nothing of tho kind Is Indulged In. Tho spread of tho Information abroad that Oardnor and Smith aro" to fight In Omaha has directed tho eyes of the sporting world toward this city to an oxtcnt that has not been tho case for several years. Match maker Farish has a number of good attrac tions on tho string and bouts between ropu table flgbter3 aro pretty sure to bo a regular thing during tho coming winter. Jimmy Corbctt is disconsolate and Is re peating the gyrutions of Jumping into and out of tho arena with challenges and protestations of retirement, Just na he bus been doing for many years past. Corbett baa discovered that the sea oil of the alleged ft... fight with McCoy Is altogether an un savory one In tho nostrils of the pugilistic world 'and particularly with the fighters whom ho seeks to meet, nnd ho Is now up against a roughshod proposition. Basing his claim upon the showing he made against Champion Jeffries, Corbett now claims an other fight with him, but tho champion has advised him to meet McCoy again, whip the "Kid" under circumstances that will be a guaranty against any charges of fakery or fraud, and then como to him, If he wishes to talk business. Whether or not Corbett will take this timely advice remains to bo seen. It Is an odds-on bet, though, thnt ho won't bo seen In tho ring again until the theatrical season Is over and all this advertising ho Is get ting grntultlously will ha turned to good advantage by his prcs3 agents, WITH ROOKS AND PAWNS MlKNlRMlpiilana Lent!

'About the lonesoraest specuclo now adays Is the wheelrlder spinning over superb roads, drawing health and Inspiration from autumn colors and atmosphere. Hero and there tho wheel encounters ft bunch of fal len leaves nnd their crunching sound startles the rider and breaks the silence. How marked the change! Where formerly clubs and quartettes and tandems and singles mado an1 almost continuous procession now tho lonesome wheelman pumps his weary way, whistling betimes to keep his courage up. The National Cycling association has Just Issued tho contract entry blanks for the grand International professional six-day team raco for tho cycling championship of tho world, which will take place at Mad ison Squaro Oarden December 10 to 15.

An ardent good roads advocate, who has been & prominent worker In the cause for a number of years and who Is alBo Inter ested In tho bicycle trade, makes nn In teresting comment us follows: "It may seem strange, but It Is a fact thnt we hi cyclo men who have boen perfecting the machine nnd furthering tho cause of good roads aro now suffering from the good re sults wo havo obtained, Our good roads work has been ft boomerang, for tho car riage dealers, having borrowed the Idea of bicyclo whools, ball bearings and pneu matic tires, havo practically created a new game. The revival of tho last two years In driving is dtroctly traceable to the spread of good roads and tho Introduction of pneu-matlo-tlred wagons and there Is no doubt that It has hurt tho bicycle gamo."

Illcyclo suits nro barred in the supreme court of the United States.

A Chicago firm has Introduced an attachment for a bi cyclo to substltuto tor tho handcar when tho latter Is not available Tho attach ment consists of three stcol rods running from tho different parts of tho framo of an ordinary bicyclo to ono small wheel on tho other rail of tho track. The Uttlo third wheel Is flanged on both sides and adapted to run on tho oppoalto rail as a guide to tho bicyclo. Tho attachment can he mado In three minutes, It Is said, and weighs but eight pounds. The guiding wheel runs on ball bearings and tho three points aro so distributed as to In sure tho bicyclo remaining in an upright position and Its wheels keeping the track. Uses. for the attachment will readily suggest themselves. Thero aro mnny rail way employes to whom In tho courso of tbelr duties it would bo of undoubted ad ventage to bavo avallahlo a simple and expeditious means for covering a portion of the track when a regular handcar or old-fashioned railway voloclpedo may not he at band, A further novantago Is claimed In that tho attachment requires but Uttlo room for storage, being easily kopt under n j table or counter, and thus available far I Immediate use. The small expense will I doubtless suggest Its use In cases whore the provision of a handcar or' railway velocipede would be out of the question.
