Bringing Up Judgments PROMISE of a scandal (a noted In the negations that big schools are ' using undue Influence In securing "prep" school stars for the foot , ball and other teams. This will be but a repetition of what was before he publlo several years ago. when tie western colleges were accused it paring for the services of gars and In some Instances the charges rer substantiated. Rigorous house lieanlng methods were resorted to. with t new to putting western foot ball on a trlctly amateur basis and-It baa been nveral rears since any serious allega lon of unfair Inducements to players a been beard. Charges now made aratnat the eastern schools partake of such the same nature as those made .gainst the western, although coming rorn another source. Indicating that the to-called "college spirit" Is much the am la the east as In the west, and mite as susceptible of being warped torn its true purpose. The practice Is aot deplorable, for It makes the first Minon taught the boy oh his entrance to -allege oh of deception.

One hopeful sign a connection with the present situation l that the faculty of Tale, at least, here the scandal seems to have orlg oated. is alive and threatens, If the fact le established, to take the noeded stepa p-remedy the situation. .

Omaha erea will be truncd toward here. and today, where the Luxua team Is laying with the Cleveland boys for the onor of contesting for the amateur liampionship of the United States. It is mposslble to say what chance the home oys have for winning, for no one out ere has any line on the playing strength t the Cleveland team. It Is fair to think hat something of a ball game will re ult, for the Luxus team has class and night to give a good account of Itself, t will likely face the biggest concourse it people it ever saw in one place, for he accounts of last 8unday'a games be ween Cleveland and Johnstown say that B.000 spectators watched the play. On his: basis. Omaha ought to get at "least 0,09, and may see more. That's as many is soma leagues draw In a year. If Frank Zehrung really wants to be resident of the Western league, no very food reason why he shouldn't have it is low apparent. Of course T.

Everything Is honky dory for old man foot ball to reign supreme for approxi mately sixty days and he will Jump Into the arena today In full bloom. For a while matters dW not look overly bright for a proejerous season but now the in terest has reached blood heat and ac cording to the wiseacres this season will eui pass all past achievements on the grid iron. The class A managers met and discussed th situation relative to the advisability of organizing a class A league and after a heated confab decided In the negative. The main reasons for pot organising were that they cou'.d only figure on six class A squads and that some of the teams had already booked games out of town. When the class A boys refuse to or ganise the only thing to do Is to mucilage the class B boys together and tbe big fellows will fall In line later. This plan went through In base ball and tha in stigators firmly believe that the class A boys will be ready by next season to do likewise. All the class B managers promised to have their forfeits on deck at a meeting to . be held at the council chamber at the city hall tomorrow night when they wtf elect their officers. Eight trams have Joined tho league and they will start tha ball a-rolllng today. Tha teams wl'l average in weight from 135 to 150 pounds. The initial contest will be played today and the season will termi nate on Sunday, November 21. Games at Ronrke Park. Two excellent leather egg battles are looked for at Rourke park this afternoon when the Columbian Reserves and the Moutclalrs clash at 1:30 p. m. and tha Fontenellcs and Columbians hook up at three bells. , Last year the Columbians lsced the class A championship and they are going to do all In their power to keep the belt this year. When these two teams tangied last season the Columbians won by a six - to nothing score.
