PUBLISH PAKE STORIES
CHICAGO PAPERS CLAIM TWO
MEN FOR MAROON8. -
I SAY THEY HAVE LEfT NEBRASKA
Fred Walker Falsely Reports He Re-
celved Telegram From Collins
and Minor Telling of Their
Departure.
For three or four days the Chicago
proBB has boon printing false stories
regarding two Nebraska football mon
who it haB boon claimed were Intend
ing to desort the Cornhuskor squad
nnd Join the University of Chicago
olovon. The two men concerned are
Sidney ColllnB and Harry Minor. In
tho first reports of two dayB ago It
wob said that Collins was ready to
leave Nebraska and would soon report
to tho Maroons. The published ar
ticles reached the height of absurdity
yostorday when tho Trlbunoand Roc-ord-Hprald
said that Collins and Mlu
or Irad telegraphed that they were on
tholr way to Chicago.
The yellowness of such reports 1b
disgusting to the Nebraska students
who know that Collins and Minor are
practicing regularly with tho Corn
huskor squad.
The Tribune of yoBterdny undor u
headlln: "Stagg'B Purchases Coming,"
prints tho following yellow rot:
"Two NobraBka Football. stars Half
Back Minor and Center Rush Collins
said by Cornhuskor reports to havo
boon "purchased" by Director Stagg
or his agents for tho maroon football
team, wired yostorday that they were
on the way to ho Midway and probab
ly would report for practice this after
noon. Much Interest attends their
coming.
"An Inquiry at tho Midway yesterday
failed to bring out tho price which
Stagg paid for tho pair of athletes
In fact. Stagg said he did not eveu
know they were coming. Who tho
agents are who secured Buch promis
ing material from Nebraska has not
b'Con ascertained, but It 1b believed
that tho agents are pretty good.
"What Stagg is going to do with
tho players this year, since they are
not eligible for tho varsity teum, Is
xl sourco of much conjecture. It Is
figured that possible Stagg, with his
great foresight, will play ttiem on Ms
freshman team, fatten them up for
his varsity team next year, but In tho
meantime try the oxygen treatment on
thorn In tests.
"Only one man in the Mlday seems
to know about tho coming of tho two
Cornhuskers. He is u freshman. His
name is Walker and he Is a brother
of Fred Walker, a famous maroon ath
lete of the generation juBt removed.
Walker knew the two athleteB when
he lived in Nebraska and it waB ha
who received the telegram from them.
"While the reports of Nebraska's
charges against the Midway .school of
financial or other aid ruffled a tew of
the coaching staff they were taken by
tho rank and file of the squad and by
Director Stagg himself with as much
seriousness as the annual story of the
Lake Michigan sea serphent.
"It Ib recalled that for several years
Nebraska probably unofficially has
come 'forward at. this Btnge of tho sea
son to announce that Chicago had
stolen one of it-s stars. Last year it
was a colored playor, who dldnot pre
sent himself at the Mlday. Tho re
ports started as long ago as the year
when John Koehler 'came to the Mid
way after the corn. crop was harvested.
"Interest-in the annual reports wds
increased when Borg, a Cornhuskor
center rush, came all the way from
Lincoln In 1904, practiced a day or
two with the maroons and then packed
his grip- and went home again. Ne
braska charged that Chicago had
stolen him. Chicago, when Borg went
homo, returned the charge.
"In tho football guide tho. pictures
of the two athletes represented in the
NobraBka group lbok. promising, and
if both men do not make a good show
ing there will be no am all disappoint
ment at the Midway. Collins Is said
to weigh 180 pounds and his fellow
pfoyer U75. If they show up Stagg
!

will turn them over to Coaches Ander
son and Dosoff of the freshman team."
The Record-Herald Bays
"Another intercollegiate spat, with
Chicago and Nebraska as the belll
gerontB, took shape yesterday as the
result of tho charges of prosolytlng
brought against tho maroons by the
Lincoln rooters. Coach Stagg and tho
Midway players denied any knowledge
of the movements of Collins and Min
or, tho Nebraska stars who are said
by tho cornhuskers to have been of
fered inducements by friends of the
Chicago team to Join the maroon
ranks.
"According to Coach Stagg, Nebras
ka adherents are unfair In making
such a charge against the supporters
of tho maroon team. While the two
Nebraska playors seem to be- unknown
at the Midway, they are due to ar
rive at Marshall field this afternoon,
according to a telegram received last
night by Walker, a member of Coach
Stagg's freshman squad.
"ColllnB is one of the best-known
football players in tho far West, and
haB a big reputation at Nebraska
where he held down the center posi
tion last season. He weighs 180
pounds. Minor, who Is hastening to
with Collins to the maroon fold is
also a hero In his home state.
"Tho pair of stars will not be eligi
ble to play with tho maroons this year,
but they will be valuable next season,
and tho maroons are' determined to
keep them if possible deBplto the at
tempts of the Nebraska rooters to get
them back. It is probable that addi
tional charge may follow from Lincoln
If the two players remain firm In their,
decision to play with Chicago."
The Purduo Exponent opens it first
issue with an arraignment of the
'tightness" of the entering student
body. It appears that only 25 per
cent have subscribed for the paper in
contrast to 50 per cent Inst year. Tho
freshmen are the worst offenders so
far. In conclusion the Exponent an
nounces that unless at least one half
of the. students subscribe, the Purduo
dally will be a thing of the past.
