Maajr Ways.
An appeal -for more member has Just
een made by the L'nlted Btates Oolf sa-
aoolatlon. The eflort to enlarge tt mem
bership la something new for the national
association. Hitherto, the national body
has acted the part of a dignified arbiter
at the ime, membership being; considered
In the light of a privilege for those cluba
mho wished to Join. No attempt was ever
made. It la said, to be exclusive, any regu
larly organized club being eligible upon
It slmplo statement of its golf conditions
and payment of the prescribed dues. For
associate cluba these are $100 and HO for
Jl'ed clubs. The latter fee was reduced
to Its present amount from $26 at the
meeting last year. All voting power and
the general government of the association
la vested In the associate clubs, and of
these there are now twenty-nine mem
bers. It la from these clubs that the
choice la made for the big annual cham
pionship tournaments, so, unless a club
ia an associate member. It will never
stand a chance of selection for one of
the coveted contesta of the year, no mat
ter how good lta course may be.
The allied membership conslsta of 218
clubs from all parts of the country. These
cluba may be represented by ona delegate
at the annual meeting, and may discuss
questions, but have no vote. A strong
effort has been made In the past to re
duce the fee of the associate cluba to
t&O and it la possible that this matter will
be brought up again at the coming annual
meeting which la to be held In New York
City on February 1L The officers of tho
association have Issued a circular calling
for new members aa allied clubs. The ad
vantage of Joining the national body are
clearly set forth and It Is believed by
many leading golfera that this plan is but
the first effort toward dividing the country
Into a large number of sectional associa
tions. ,
These associations. In turn, are to be used
aa a mean to make the annual cham
pionship a thoroughly representative con
test of the best golfers In the country.
There are already a number of minor as
sociations, that. In a quiet way, have been
helpful In 'the national amateur cham
pionship In keeping the fact to the front
that only the best men should enter, be
cause their performances nturally reflect
upon the golf members of the association
from which they come. In the absence of
any definite rules toward restricting con
testants in this, the big event of the year,
the amaller associations hare accom
plished a great deal of good, In a quiet
way In limiting the entries. Such Is the
"glad hand" that the United States Golf
association, or parent organization. Is now
handing out to the "minor" organizations,
and It sounds very well.
In support of this principle, the United
States Oolf association authorities argue
that many sections of the country have
no state or local association, and the ten
dency has been to bring the entry Hat of
the amateur championship up to unwieldy
figures, making the first day, at least, un
comfortable for both players and officers.
An Idea advanced by many players of
ability Is to have the country divided Into
a dozen or more districts, In each of which
shall annually be held a seventy-two hole
medal play competition, and the leaders
In these contests will be the ones selected
to represent their district In the national
amateur championship. The number of
golfers to be selected from the respective
districts would probably occasion some fine
discussions, but It would be proportioned to
the number of associations, and such as to
Insure greater convenience to the big tour
nament of the year.
The United State Oolf association en
tourages the formation of sectional as
sociations, not only for the social and golf
benefit, which. It Is argued, come thereby
to the player In the respective localities,
but as a means of assisting In solving the
problem of the amateur championship.
With the constant growth In golf interest,
as shown by the new clubs being formed
every year, bringing out a large number
of new players. It seems evident that the
national championship will. In the near
future, attract a field which It will be Im
possible to handle within a reasonable
time, and to the satisfaction of the com
petitors and the golf committee, sectional
associations can be of great aid In this
matter, end some Important developments
In this direction may be forthcoming at
the annual meeting.
Fortunately for golfers In this section of
the country, they already have their "sec
tional" organisation In the Transmlsslsslppl
Oolf association, and Its officers and sup
porters, who are numerous, will do a wise
thing if nothing Is permitted to disturb Its
entity and Individuality. This should be
maintained at all hazards, but on the other
hand It mny remain Intact and at the same
time meet the proposed requirements of the
United States Oolf association. The Trans
misslsslppl Oolf association has not reached
its present growth and prestige without
undergoing some hardships and many
moments when there was doubt as to Its
continuity. Now that the embryonic stage
has passed, and golf organizations are
springing up all over the west, everything
which can possibly be done to foster the
growth of the association Itself and create
an Interest In western golf, should be done,
and no outside Influences will be permitted
to alter Its true mission.
The Interesting news comes from Canada
that a team of American women players
will visit that country next season, playing
the Canadian women on their own links.
President A. W. Austin of the Lambton
Oolf club, near Toronto, made that state
ment at a recent meeting of his club. Miss
Rhona Adair, the English and Scotch
champion, had recently played at the club,
and she gave him assurances that the
American women were earnestly consider
ing such a step. It is probably occasioned
by a desire to play a return match. with the
Canadian women players In acknowledg
ment of their kindness In sending so many
players to Philadelphia to take part In the
tourney given In honor of Miss Adair's
visit to this country. A team match be
tween the Canadian and American women
was the closing feature of that event, and
while the United States team won It was
by a close margin.
Harry B. Morrill has been presented with
his badge as champion of the Omaha Field
club for the year IMS. It la silver and
beautifully mounted.
SHOTGUN EXPERTS COMING
Omaha Shooters Will Eatertala St
Joseph aad Kansas City
Teams.
Omaha sportsmen sre looking forward
with much interest to the big shoot which
Is scheduled to be held in this rltv h.
ruary 3 to 6. Inclusive. This Is the second
midwinter Interstate shoot between Omaha,
St Joseph and Kansas City. The first was
held at Bt. Joseph two weeks ago and the
Kansas City sportsmen carried off first
honors with the Omaha team second.
The local sportsmen think they will win In
the shoot which Is to be held here. They
had very little show at the St. Joseph
shoot, they say, for the reason that the
birds were too slow for them. The locals
have been used to fast birds and a ff
trap, and when they commenced shooting
at the alow birds which were furnished at
St. Joseph they missed with alarming fre
quency, One of the best shooters on the
local team missed the first four birds. This
will be; remedied when the next shoot Is
held here, as the locals will be on their
own grounds and will be able to regulate
the traps and birds to their own satisfac
tion and In a manner to which they are
accustomed. ,
The Kansas City team put up a good
fight at the St. Joseph meet and the locals
give them credit for so doing. The first
three men on their team got 24 out of a
possible 25, the next got 23 and the fifth
member got 22, and that was first-class
shooting, as they got 117 birds out of a
possible 126.
The sura of 1219 In cash has been added
to the purse originally announced for this
shoot, which therefore makes it one of the

It builds np their system, enriches their blood, strengthens the weak or-g-ans

and puny children. It will prevent croup and one or two doses will stop
it immediately. Hundreds of mothers have endorsed Milks' Emulsion
because it strengthens their children as nothing else ha ever done;
gives them a good appetite, and in this way renders them leu liable to
contract many of the contagious diseases so rife among children.

west. In addition to the Kansas City, Bt.
Joseph and Omaha teams there will be
two teams from Iowa, and It Is expected
that the competition Will be general and
quite lively. The addition of Iowa make
the Issue of the contest problematical, as
In Budd. Gilbert and other crack shots the
locals know they have something; to con
tend against which will call for their very
best.
Two SM cups are also features of the con
test. The first event on February I will

S the five-man team race will be pulled off,
with fifty targets to the man. On the
4th the twenty-flve-llve bird open handicap,
the handicap ranging from twenty-seven
to thlrtv-three yards, will be pulled 'off.
On February S the five-man team race, with
twenty-five live birds to the man, will con

contest will attract to this city the leading
sportsmen of the west Each of the com

to be done In order to keep the Kansas
City delegation from walking away with
all the victories.
Three shoots were originally planned for
and the Kansas City team has already
won the first. The second shoot Is to be
held here and the third In Kansas City,
and the Kansas City boys will surely win
on their own grounds unless th predic

sportsmen fall to prove true. The men
from the Kaw have been noted for years
for their marksmanship and they have
never permitted their reputation to be
downed, for In every event of this kind
which haa been contested In the west the
Kansaa City team has pulled together like
one man and walked away with a goodly
portion of the laurels.

Last week was a lively one with the
Omaha bowlers. Both the leagues resumed
operations and the alleys were lively with
Individual contests. While no world's
records have been broken by any of the
home performers, some scores were made
that would look creditable opposite any
body's name, while the team work In the
races was very good. Here Is the standing

an Interest In gymnastics, physical condi
tion and outdoor lite.
J. Obedleni-e. One reason whv athletics
mean so much In American colleges, espe
pwlally In schools where there Is no mili
tary training. Is that many a youth In
dulged at home and under the spur of no
keen necessity at school gets from athletic
his sole taste of that stern discipline with
out which he cannot be a full grown man.
He may shirk his studies and no dis
grace is Imputed to him; his foot bull he
cannot shirk or he Is branded by his mate
a a "quitter."
Ho may get more or les culture and In
formation for hi studies, but a a rule
very little backbone. From hard training
for the nine the eight or the eleven he gets
the stuff and substance which counts in
the making of character as class room
work almost never does.
He learns to obey orders; to see better
men supplant him for the general good.
To subordinate Indlvidunl Impulses, selfish
desires and personal credit to tenm work.
He learns the power of combination,
and It is the normal effect of certain ath
letic sports not only to develop these quali
ties among the contestants, but to furnish
Impressive examples of them to the specta
tors. S. Resourcefulness and Control All ath
letic sports foster quickness In appre
hension, in initiative; coolness and Self-reliance,
patience, grit and courage, while
In a supreme degree eelf-cnntrol and fnlr
ness are required. It Is quite safe to say
that all these qualities are observed and en
couraged more and more generally despite
occasional lamentable lapses.
4. Healthful Rally l'olnt for Student
Spirit Athletics afford an outlet for super
abundant energy and one which Is only
rarely carried to excess. This distinctly
reduces the tendency to college interest and
disorder.
It Is a good thing for the ntudent body,
nay, for the whole college community, to he
stirred now and then to the very depths of
Its soul, to get outside of Itself and Its
normal routine, to learn to be Interested In
and to care very much for something out
side of Itself, to have Its spirit of loyalty
sharply aroused, and for all these pur
poses healthful, normal athletics properly
controlled and administered furnish by far
the most available and successful Instrument,

WYER WRITES ON FOOT BALL
Librarian at ralverslty ( Nebraska
6lve Teacher m Paper ea
the Game.
A paper en college athletics in general
and foot ball In particular was presented
at the recent meeting of the Nebraska State
Teachers' association In Lincoln by Libra
rian J. I. Wyr of the State university. The
paper purports to set forth the good and
the evils which have grown out of the gam
of foot hall. It had been argued by pre
vious speakers that "the evils of Intercol
legiate athletics outweigh the benefits."
Mr. Wyer said he could find nothing; In the
arguments or In wide reading, supplemented
by personal experience, which would war
rant such a verdict. That the game I at
tended with serious evil I held to be true
by Mr. Wyer, for he says:
It la undoubtedly true that from the
tandpoint of uninfluenced amateur playing
without direct or Indirect consideration
nine-tenth of the teams of the larger
schools In the west are thoroughly shame
lessly rotten.
Money Is raised among students, among
Interested bualness men, among alumni,
even from member of the faculty to secure
and hold certain men on the college team.
There ia a constant, unseemly, often un
scrupulous scramble among athletic man
agers for prospective students of athletic
promise and the country is literally ran
sacked from Maine to California In search
of material which Is secured by Induce
ments, hlntina- at material benefits varying
from offers of fake business positions to
free tuition, room ana Doara.
Competent critics seem to agree In de
nouncing the outalde coach whose high
alary and spectacular reputation depend
upon the success of his team, as perhaps
the most corrupting Influence In present
day college athletic. The temptation to
use a part of his salary In securing players
for the team la often too great to be re
sisted. . ,
Such point aa thee are a few of th
many factor contributing to create what
I have termed professionalism. It I rarely
ao bald and apparent as to be possible of
proof; in fact, many college openly boaat
of this feature of it. No extended argu
ment Is needed to Indicate the bad effect of
such practices on team spirit, on tandards
of honesty both among th playera and the
Urge tudent body, knowing to such trans
actions. The second group of objections to
foot ball may be called disproportionate at
tention. .
The Inordinate foot ball Insanity which
seises upon university communities for
three months In the fall, which results In
uch Intense rivalry, which frequently see
whole college communities, president, fac
ulty and all. following th team from
point to point, shouting themselves hoarse
cheering their champion on to victory In
spectacular contest which In their appoint
ments, atmosphere and behavior too often
resemble gladiatorial combat.
On the other hand the evidence of mu
tual good will, the reciprocal cheering, th
hearty, cordial treatment of opponent
which marked ail th game played on the
campus of th University of Nebraska this
year and the generous hospitality and
courteous attention bestowed upon 500 Ne
braska visitor to Kanas at a recent gam
between Kansas and Nebraska offer strong
testimony on the other aide.
Let m present th benefit of Intercol
legiate athletic under specific head.

vigor sine college athletics became nopular
it I scarcely too much to say that the tvpe
of college student ha changed. That It
has rome to be recognised that good phv

ATHLETICS AT CREIGHTON
Alamnl Association Asks to Be Given
Representation on the Gov
erning Board.
The Crelgtton Alumni association has
asked that one of Its member be named
for the athletic board, which Is under the
control of the president and faculty. It is
urged, that the alumni of the Institution
should have something to say on athletic
matters, and to that end a letter has been
addressed to the president of the univer
sity asking that the alumni association be
permitted to name one of Its most in
fluential members for the athletic board.
Announcement is also made in this con
nection that Crelghton Is making prepara
tions for a vigorous foot ball campaign
next season and to that end the question
of a coach and athletic manager are now
vital topics for discussion. The friends of
the Institution think the day Is not far dis
tant when It will be the second largest
university in the west, and one of the
things which will conduce to Its growth. It
Is argued,. Is the maintenance of a healthy
athletic spirit and the ability to get to
gether victorious teams In base ball, foot
ball and other sports.
Just now, therefore, attention is directed
to the task of getting a suitable manager.
Then comes the question of a coach for
the font ball team. Some have said that
a coach should be engaged who could com
bine with this position the work which de
volves upon a manager. A man Is being
looked for who has knowledge of how to
draw up contracts and do the training and
get the team on a first-class basis. Some
have urged that the best that money can
procure should be contracted for, but those
opposing; this say that It Is unwise to get
into an athletic debt, for the history of
other Institutions has shown how hard it
Is to . lift such a burden, once It Is acquired.

TORTURE p
25 DEMON OF DISCOMFORT
When to the other discomforts of winter is added the torments of Eczema, existence becomes
a long-drawn-out period of bodily suffering and untold misery. Of all the varied types and'
forms of this violent and terrifying skin disease, that which comes in the winter season is the
worst. While Eczema is aggravated by the cold, penetrating winds, it is not due to atmospheric,
conditions or external causes. The disease itself is located in the blood, and is an internal,
constitutional disorder. The pent-up secretions, the biting acids and poisonous matter that
have accumulated in the system because of an inactive, torpid state of the bodily organs, are
absorbed into the circulation, polluting the blood, falling
the veins with acrid particles and liquid fire that dries out
the natural oils, irritates and clogs the pores, causing the
skin to redden and burn, and itch and smart almost beyond
endurance.
Eczema in winter is a demon of discomfort. The skin
hardens and dries, cracks and bleeds; filthy-looking sores
and crusts, scaly eruptions and other painful and disgust
ing symptoms appear as the disease takes deeper hold upon
the system. Eczema generally attacks the legs and
arms, face, chest, hands and feet, breaking out in red, angry
looking patches, sparsely-scattered pimples or watery blis
ters ; but in whatever form it appears, or wherever located,
it is an evidence of a too acid condition of the system, and if
the cause is not removed and the progress of the disease
checked, it grows and spreads and becomes a lingering
torture. No permanent good comes from washes, salves
and ointments; they are helpful but not curative. The
disease is running riot in the blood, the acid poisons are
circulating all through the system, and nothing applied to
the surface of the body can penetrate deep enough to reacn ,
the fountain source of the trouble and root out the real cause of this terrible skin disease.
Eczema must be fought through the blood system, and an internal remedy that enters into the
circulation and searches out and neutralizes the acids and destroys the poisonous secretions
offers the only chance of permanent relief.
The various mineral preparations are bad on the stomach and digestion, and the temporary
good they do is over-balanced by the harmful after-effects, In S. S. S. is offered a remedy
absolutely vegetable ; it doesn't contain a single mineral or injurious drug of any kind. It is
composed exclusively ot roots ana nerps seieciea ior ineir
curative and tonic properties. It purifies the blood and
cleanses the system of all irritating substances, stimulates
the sluggish organs and invigorates and builds up all parts
of the system. Under its tonic effect the appetite increases,
the digestion improves, the nerves are strengthened and
all the complications brought on by the long-continued spell
of Eczema driven away. With the restoration of the blood to its natural, normal condition,
and the system freed of all unhealthy secretions, the eruptions, sores and other evidences
of Eczema disappear, and the skin becomes soft, smooth and pliable. If you have Eczema or
any skin trouble, write us and let our physicians help you by their advice, for which no charge
whatever will be made. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC COMPANY, ATLANTA, GA.
Some twenty years ago Eorema broke out
on my ankle, and rapidly spread np my
limbs to my ohest, notwithstanding I wss
nnder the treatment of different physlolaas
who presorlbed blood medlolnea, salves,
lotions, eto.. In an effort to oure the Eorema,'
The trouble; did not yield to their treatment,
bnt spread all the while. A friend told me
he had oared his little child of Eosema by
8. S. 8., and that led me to take It. I had
not been using It long before I notloed an
Improvement. I continued on with th med
icine, with the result that the Eczema was
entirely cured, and I have never had a
return of the disease, some fourteen years
having elapsed slnoe I was cured. No one
can Imagine how terrifying is the smarting
and ltohing that has never had the disease.
I oontraoted daring the Civil War a severe
stomaoh trouble, and for years was bothered
greatly with it. After eating I would hare
severe vomiting spells. Could not digest my
food, and as a result became very thin and
weak. To make a long story short, 8. 8. 8.
cured me of this stomaoh trouble, and Z
regained my strength and weight.
