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.

Men carried home a well merited victory.
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.

Kd Krug writes from Lnngdon, his favor

Dr. Owon roturncd a few days ago from
Washington, where he spent a short time
fishing and had a most delightful anil suc

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,

Tho first scores aro only now being sub

Intervening dlstauco naturally puts a tlmo

"Whist Is ono of tho most scientific gamos
of cards ever invented, and yet, how few
people know the first principles of tho
game," said an Omaha playor recently.
"The othcry day, when at a small town In
tho stato, sovoral gentlemen, after 'having
completed their business, were sitting
around -the hotel waiting for the train to
como along, and which was not due for
several hours. I was approached by one
of tho gentlemen and asked It I could play
wnist. as i was n aevoteo of the game, I
was charmed at tho opportunity to' while
away tho tlmo at my favorite pastimo and
told htm I knew a Uttlo about It and would
bo glad to ho one of four to make up a

doals had boon ployed I could seo that not
one of tho throo knew anything about tho

with threo of the BUlt, headed by ace, plays
tho latter on my king, then leads another
suit, of which ho knows I am extremely
weak. After the hand wuu played I askod
him his reason for playing tho ace on my
king and he replied, 'Well, a trick Is a

to question such a lead. I soon got

f IN THE WHEELING WORLD, j
Tho charm of October days, which, a fow
years back, brought out countless numbers
of wheelmen and whoelworaen In these
parts, now draw out scarcely a corporal's
guard. '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.

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."
The great voguo of the automobllo tins

decade. It was but a couple of years ago

In keeping with tho dignity of the court,
A railroad bicyclo la tho latest thing In
transportation devices. 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.
