MICHIGAN HAS A STRONG ELEVEN Yost' Men Picked to Beat Notre Dame Chicago Must Win to Remain In Western Race. BY WALTER H. ECKER8ALL. Chicago, Nov. G. Tho football situ ation In tho west and cast will bo cleared greatly by tho result of Sat urday's gamos. In tho west tho Mlchl-gan-Notro Damo contest at Ann Arbor and tho Chicago-Northwestern strug gle at Marshall field wfll attract tho most Interest. In tho oast Dartmouth, which lins boon playing grand football all yoar and which has not been scored on this season, will tackle Princeton on tho lattor's groundB, whllo Cornell will journey to Cam bridge to meot Harvard. Yale sliould oxporlcnco llttlo difficulty In winning from Brown at Now Haven. Tho MIchlgan-Notro Damo battle will attract a deal of attention In this soctlon. Neither has lost a gaimMhis BoaHon, and tho outcome will bo watched with Intorest. Both teams de feated eastern elevens last Saturday, and tho winner of Saturday's game will havo a pretty good claim on tho wostern championship, although both havo hard games yet to play. Tho .WolvorlnoB' playing against Syracuso last' Saturday, which result ed In an overwhelming victory for Michigan, 44 to 0, plainly shows that Yost Is gradually developing his eleven to a point whore It will bo a worthy opponent for any team It meets. Al though the team did not show well In Its first games, Yost knew he had promising material and only had to toach It tho flnor points of tho game to havo a successful season. Allerdlce Wonderful Kicker. In Allerdlce, Michigan lias tho best kicker In the west, a player who Is feared and respected by every team Michigan plays. Ho Is a grand kicker. but his chief forto in this department Is his rare ability to rogister- goals from placement At Ann Arbor there Is an Ironclad rule for Allerdlce to take a Bhot at tho goal from any point inside of tho forty-flve-yard mark. This goes to show that Yost Is not lotting this man's ability go to waste, but lie Is taking advantage of tho abilities which oach player on his toam possesses. Allerdlce's kicking has been a big factor In every game Michigan haB played for tho last two years and his work along theso lines will bo a great help to Michigan In Saturday's strug gle. BosIdeB being a rare kicker, he Is a powerful offenslvo player and a good man on tho dofense. Whllo run ning Nvlth tho ball ho takes his onen- Ings In grand stylo and lends valuable assistance In tho Interference.. He also possoBos tho knack of throwing tho oval and ho 1b used almost exclu sively In this part of tho game. With Casey back &nd playing a good gamo at his old taclclo position, Yost will havo a lino which will more than hold its own against Notre Damo and ono which should stop the lino plunges of Vaughan, tho Catholics' great full back. Most of Notro Dame's offense Is built around this player, and If his attacks can bo .stopped, Michigan Bhould win. Shift In Yost Lineup. If Casey plays tacklo Yost undoubt edly will movo Edmunds, who has boon playing tacklo, to guard or half back. In either position Edmunds has Bhown that ho can play as well as -any ono on tho squad and his versatility is a groat asBot to Michigan. Wolls and Bonbrook will take caro of the other side of tho lino nnd Watkins will play center. Theso men mako a stellar bunch of forwards and It will take a mighty good nttack to wear thorn down and mako many gains. Tho only weak position on tho toam, especially on the do'fonso, Is qiwrtor back. Wasmund, who 1b a votoran, is a good llttlo playor who does not kniow what physical fear Is, but ho does not possess tho natural qualifica tions of a good quarter hack. Ho Is weak In catching punts and It Is this woakness that has put Michigan in bad holes this season and caused it to losp games last season. In addition to this weakness WaBtnund Is not a good open field tacklor. Instead of laying back when a player gets loose, ho Invariably runs up to meet him. Instead of waiting for tho runnor and trying to pen him betwoen himself and Uio sido linos in a position whore ho can get a good shot at him and whew) tho runner will havo no chance to dodgo. Wasmund's generalship has not been anything to brag of and if Yost had anothor quarter back who possessed average oxporlonco, ho would havo moved Wasmund to half back long ago, whoro ho has shown hotter form than he will ever display In his pres ent position. Ends Have Good Teacher. Tho ends, under tho constant coach ing of CurtlB Reddon, who is consid ered, next to NIol Snow, tho besf. end Michigan over had, are gradually learning tho fine points of ond rush play and It la safe to say they will be able to take caro of themselves when Pennsylvania and Minnesota are met on the following Saturdays. In Lawton, Yost Bays he has a playor who will bo the equal of Long man, Hammond and Gnrrells In tho full back position. Although this player shows IiIb lack of experience in tho games In which he has taken part, ho has displayed Biich nn aptitude for the position that Yost expects him to bo tho best man he ever had. Just who will play the other half back with Allerdlce is not known for Yost has not sottled upon any ono player for the position. Ho has sev eral good men trying hard to land tho berth, but so fnr tholr work has not como up to his expectations. They nro all right In spots, but their play ing is erratic and Yost has not enough confidence In tholr ability to execute his pet plays. Thoreforo most of the Inside play of the back field will fall to Allerdlce. On the other hand, Notre Dame will glvo Michigan a battle which will test tho strength of the Wolverines to the utmopt to wln. Longman, who Is coaching the South Bend aggregation, is fixed in his purpose to beat tho team coached by Yost, who taught the Notre Damo football tutor all he knows about tho game. Badger Hospital List Large. Madison, Wis., Nov. 4. Prof. Stagg evidently is on the inside when he says Wisconsin does not stand a ghost of a chanco against Minnesota. The Badger hospital list at present is tho longest that It has been at any time during tho season, and tho team is In a demoralized condition. There Is not a man, with tho exception of Mack miller, who 1b not Buffering from in juries moro or less serious, and the outlook now is that a crippled team will face tho Gophers. Capt. Wilco and Moll did not re port last night, both being too stiff and aoro to do any work. Boyle also was absent on account of a sprained elbow, and Osthoff was laid out In the scrimmage by a hard tacklo. Fuclk who was hurt slightly Wednesday, again dislocated his shoulder, and was replaced by Rau, Bunker still being unable to get Into tho scrimmage. Tho freshmen hammered tho varsity with Minnesota formations and camo out victors, 8 to 5, In a thlrty-flvo-mlnuto scrlmmago. Tho regulars showed speed In tho first five minutes, pushing Osthoff over for a score. Tho freshmen camo back strong, and Lam port, intercepting a forward pass, ran fifty yards for a touchdowri. Shortly after Jefferson kicked a goal from tho thirty-five-yard line. Tho first year -men made gains through tho lino, pounding Osthoff and Zander, who took Boyle's place, with surprising regularity. The regu lar were unable to hold in ihe line, but tho yearlings could not gain on ond runs. Yale Batters Down Scrubs. Now Havon, Conn., Nov. 4. Vale's varsity football players mado a whirl wind race down tho gridiron, rushing tho ball from tho mld-flold without being checked for three touchdowns. Savago at full back for tho regulars never failed to gain ground. Fred Daly returned after a week's absence because olj an injury. Brooks, injured ton days ago, reported at right end. Savage mado all the touchdowns. Hobbd kicked three goals. To close tho practlco tho varsity was placed on dofense, and tho scrubs, after repeat ed tries with both straight football and forward passes, failed to score. Gobol was given a day's reBt.

NEW TUSK IS TWELVE fEET LONG Part of the Remains of a Mammoth Found In a Nebraska Sand Pit Near Indlanola, In Repub lican River Valley. Again the members of the annual Morrill geological expedition have se cured a specimen for tho Nebraska museum that brings to tho survey and tho state a distinction which may bo envied by the various museums of tho nation. This time tho museum is the recipient of an enormouB tusk of a mammoth. Tho mammoth Is an extinct animal, and Is related to the anlmalB of the elephant family. The tusks of the an imal often became enormous in length, and several specimens of these tusks are already owned by the museum. TIiobo have been obtained by the mu seum on different occasions in tho paBt, and make valuable specimens for the geological expedition and for the museum. Specimen Enormous. . Tho specimen which has been ob tained recently Is of enormouB length for a specimen of this kind. The tusk Is twelve feet in length and Is eight Inches in diameter. It is a very mag nificent specimen and when mounted will be placed in a special case. Tho museum authorities have already or dered an enormous head of the mam moth, which will be used to fit tho great tusk to, and another large tusk which the geological department owns will bo dised as a mate for this enor mous tusk. When the head and tho two tUBks havo been fitted together they will bo placed In a case designed especially for this purpose. This will make for tho university and tho state one' of tho findst specl ment on exhibition of this class of ex tinct animals that Is to be seen any where in tho United States. The mem bers of the student body of the uni versity may well afford to spend the tlmo to Inspect this magnificent tusk when It Is mounted and ready for ex hibition, as It is exceedingly instruc tive as an example of the size and appearance of many of the extinct an imals. A Nebraska Specimen. One exceedingly pleasing feature about the discovery of this tusk is that It was found in Nebraska, and that the work of preparing it for ex hibition is being done by university people. Tho specimen was secured by tho Morrill geological expedition of 1909, and mainly through the favor of Mr. Rou Pepporberg was it obtained for the university museum. Tho tusk was found in a sand pit about one fourth of a milo north of tho Repub lican river near Indlanola of this state. It wns found about ten feet below tho surface of the earth and had been covered by about four feet of soil and six feot of sand and gravol. When the specimen was found it lay in the pit on a bed of rock which appeared to be magnesium limestone, and this was ton feot below the surface of tho earth. Mounted at University. The members of the geological ex pedition wero notified of tho presence of this enormous tusk by Mr. P. W. Dober, and tho survey immediately took tho proper stops to obtain tho specimen for the university. Tho work of preparing the tusic for mount ing la being done by- Miss Barbour and Mr. Graham of tho geology de partment. Tho work Is being done by those persons In tub museum and Is of an exceedingly difficult nature, and -T-J much card must do tak6n so as not'to hurt the tusk in any way. Whonr-mounted the tusk will show a long flat surface bn oho sldo, which is thought to be tho sign of tho ago of tho animal. Tho longer this flat surface tho older the mammoth. The other tusks that tho musoum has on exhibition do not have a very marked flat Burface on tho tusk, and theso aro thought to bo tusks of youngor mam moths. When mounted tho tusk will be a specimen that tho university and tho state may1 well bo proud, of. 8QUAD HEAR 8ENATOR GORE. Debaters Listened to Views of Okla homa Man on Incomo Tax.

In that yoar Kansas started the ball rolling by defeating Nebraska 12 to 10. Georgo Dem waB one of tho old-timers on the team In that year and ho played good ball. In 1893 the KanBans main tained their load with a scoro of 18 to 0. Then Nebraska got her spirit up and tho next year Kansas was trounced 14 to 6. In 1895 Kansas again won, 8 to 4. In 1898 tho lead was still further increased and Kansas took her fourth gamo out of flvo to tho tune of 12 to 0. That didn't go well with Nebraska spirit and next year she loBt 10 to 5. With that victory the Cornhuskors hit a winning streak and Kansas won only one game from 1897 to 190G, that being tho 1899 contest. In 1904 and 1905 the two schools did not play and a resumption of relations In 1906 re sulted In a victory for Kansas. In 1907 Nebraska won again, but in 1908 defeat waB tho Cornhusker lot. Today, then, marks tho climax of eighteen years of strenuous rivalry. Nebraska, by winning, gains a still greater lead over tho southern rivals. By losing she allows the register of games to' be tied. Patronize Our Advertisers mmmIhih
