teri has Just come up In tlie st.ilo of Minnesota
seta , indeed , probably the most important in
Its bearingfl ever fought in tlie commoii-
woilth. It is tlie old case nf tbe Indian over

thn riglit by treaty to kill ami consume
on their own reservation without con-
trol by the state , but th.it as soon as they or
their game shall bo found off tlio reserva

nny other Interpretation of the law would
leave the law itselt practically a nullity.
Already much game Is killed off the reserva

thence to market under cover of the Indian
rights. Some time ago Agent Kullerton seized

Manager Seleo of the Do-it on base ball

following reasons why the Ileaneatcru won
the pennant : "We struggled very hard to

have endeavored to bo consistent and sports
manlike both In the treatment of umpires
and opposing players.'e naturally feel
very happy at our grand success. While
batting has been the predominant feature
leading to our victory , still the harmonious
notion of the players has been a stroai ;

"Although we won but a single game out

get up lo the top.
"We played very strong ball against ecv-
eral tennis that bwt Haltlmore. Iloslon and
Baltimore ) are very evenly matched , and our
advantage lay In defeating them two games
on their own grounds. That was the crucial
point In their oareor , and they could not
stand the strain.
"Among the reasons for our Improved
form over 1S ! ) ( ! Is thp fact that Colllrn was
enabled to p'ay thp season out ; a change
at first that added great strength ; the fine
work behind the bat , and excellent team
work. Captain Duffy handled his men with
grrat skill and Judgment. Nichols never
pitched so well In his life , and the work of

There Is a mirk"d : likeness In the stroke
of all the mcfit sueeessful racers. After the
first scramble at the start , when they seem
to bo running oa tholr skates , rather than
skating , they soon settle down to the
rhythmical , swaying swing , with body
tmerving from side to side as the weight
Is changed from' one foot to the other , while
the head moves on In a direct line. The

tal , or even more than that , for Smart , a

that he could see the course behind him

strongly Hexed , and the arms kept folded
along the back. The main force is exerted
by the powerful muscles of the thlgb , loins
and bark , while the muscles of the arms
and calves Havo-but little work to do.
CALK MUSCLES NOT DEVELOPED.
There Is an idea current that a skater
is characterized by large ra'.f muscles , Just
as is a cyclist or a runner , but this Impres
sion Is not borne out by the tape measure.
The reason of this small development Is
duo In great measure to the shape of the
fk'Ue , on whose design much thought has
been spent and endless experiments under
taken.
The present Norwegian racing skate , now
universally adopted , has most probably been
evolved from the ski or long snow shoe ,
which Is still used In traveling across coun
try over the deep snow of a Norwegian win
ter ; to pi event side slipping , they were first
grooved and afterward shod with Iron and
adapted to use on the Ice. Axel Paulson , the
most prominent figure among the Scandi
navian skaters , Invented a snow skate with
many points common to the ski and the
present "readier" used by the modern racer.
lie seems to have been of an ingenious turn
of mind , for ho also invented a skate that
einlttc.il a drop of oil at each stroke to mini
mize Mellon.
Paulson Is credited with the modern style
of skating , as well as with the perfwtlng of
the modern Norwegian "readier , " which
differs materially from the ordinary form.
There Is but little change In ( ho make of
the modern racing skate. The Norwegians
prefer to have tlio heels raised moro than
the Canadians or Americans. They believe
It helps their speed In short races. Xlc-
Culloeh. the prcsc-ut amateur champion of
the world , has the heels slightly raised , the
b'ado broadened and gradually curved up
ward In front to prevent it cutting too deeply
Into the Ice ami tripping him up.
DirriJKMIMNCi A ItACEIt'S SPEED.
On examining closely the mark made In
the Ice of u gfokc * made by .N'lllson , the
professional champion , one Is at once struck
by the groove left by the skate blade , straight
and clean , till Just at the end , when It
deepens and swerves out , broadening Into a
scin.-o ir.iide by the toe as It leaves the Ice
after giving Its final push. Ho maintains
that the swerve and scrape In what Indicates
the man's speed and claims the ability to tell
a fast man by examining bis tracks , with the
portiilnty that one of Kcnlmoro Cooper's
heroes could recognize I ho tiall of a hostile
Indian by his footprints In the soft turf.
Nlllson even goes so far as to estimate the
skater's speed with no other guide than the
sound of the final "zli | > " of the toe oa It
leaves the Ice. This Hnal touch given by
the too of the okato sometimes makes
the difference between a champion and an
unsuccessful aspirant for the honor , although
the main force of the stroke is obtained from
the strong muscles that extend from the hip
Joint and the knee. Tebbutt , the English
amateur champion , says : "When the skate
leaves the Ice It is traveling Cast and any
dig or twist will ciiuso the blade to drag
and scrape the Ice and greatly affect the
force. The whole skate must be lifted up at
the same moment. " Joe Donoghue follows
this style very closely , but the writer would
probably modify his opinion after teeing the
style and skate marks of the fastest skatei-a
of the present day. such as .Villain. Mc-
Culloch , Johnson and Kudd. The stroke made
by the present champion measures forty-five
feet and seldom varKa in thu longest race.
Speed skaters have always been fourd In
group * or schools , and In England \\o read
of the Welnoy school , headed by "Turkey
Smart , " supplanting that of Southery. At
the present time Christlanla has its brilliant
school , headed by such men as Xnas.
I.oplhal anil Norslng. Minneapolis has Its
group , Including Million. Johnson and Uudd ,
while the Hudson river has developed fcUfb
champions as the DcnoRhue brothers , Mushier
and Hemnient. This grouping Is largely due
to the facilities offered for practicing the
art. and the results gained depend on the
conditions and the racing customs that grow
up about certain Ice sheets.
The long stretches of clear Ice oa the
Hudson favor 8'riUHAway long Vitanco
racing , whllo the closed rinks throughout
Canada and the t'nlted States develop n
style that greatly handicaps n racer on a
straightaway o.nirRO. In Holland they con
fine their efforts to short dlntanen rarely
Coin ? moro than IfiO meters , ami at n meet
rn many as 100 races will be run off In nn
afternoon. Thf > result scorns to be that ,
with the event Ion of Eden , they have sup
plied few champion * of note , for their men
always eonie to grief on the longer distanced.
The same is partially true of the Norwegians.
The laws of evolution are curiously Il
lustrated In the type of figure seen In these
champions. Just as the greyhound for speed ,
the spaniel for peace , and the bull terrlor
for war , have been evolved from their com-
n.on wolfish prototype , so Is the speed skater
undergoing a process of evolution and
natural selection ; and as the giraff survives
on amount of hla long neck , which allows
him to browse on the follhRo that Is out of
the rmeh of his less favored compftitors , so
the speed skater , from the 'length of hi *
IhlKh and leg nnd the depth of his chest , can
distance his adversary leis favored by these
meehat.ieal : . advantages , i
The typo Is best shown In the person of
Joseph R Donoghue of Nevrbiirg , N. Y. . who
In isni won the iimateur fhamplonahlp of
the world in Holland , and remained unbeaten
until he met John S. Johnson In 1S95 nnd
John Nlllson Ini 1S07. Il > > still retains Ms
Inimitable style , and 1st by far the most
graceful exponent of thofart.
PECULIAR PHYSICAL ' DKVBLOP.MENT.
The physical peculiarities of the skater ,
which are well Illustrated in his figure , are
seen both In the bony framework and the
muscular development. ' ( Klguro 1. ) The
body Is fihort , tlio client deep and
capaclouM. the thigh bones are
abnormally long , tlio legs are long ,
as are the feet , wh\lo the arch of the
foot Is Hat , making thtt Instep large and
broad. In muscular development wo see
still more marked peculiarities. The neck
and back are strong and muscular , as a re
sult of the crouched petition. The arms
are small and weak , the nttisclrs of the loins
are well developed by the constant swaying ,
while the extensor miMcles about the hip
joint and the muscles of the tbigli are mag
nificently developed , and swell out beauti
ful and clean cut under the skin of a skater
in good condition. The calves are as a rule
poorly developed , for threw leg muscles are
enlarged by ouch movements us raise the
heel , the body weight being on the ball ol
the foot and this action is prevented by the
long ekate. except at the end , of the stroke ,
when they are unable from tlio quickness
of the motion to put much force into the
movement. This peculiarity < if figure is ren
dered Indistii'et in many 'men who cycle In
summer und skate In winter , but Johnson
and McCulloch , both expert wheelmen , have
told me that at the end of their skating
Heasoii their calf measurement Is always at
least one Inch less th.in when they put away
their wheel for the winter.
In a long race the steady rhythmical swing
with arms at rest on tha back , as shown In
figuru 1 , is relieved only when eornera are
to bo turned. Then they are brought down
and swung from sldo to side to help In
taking the curve , but It is when the last
lap Is entered upon and every one among the
spectators feels that the moment of supreme
Interest Is approaching that the real beauty
and grace of the skater Is shown at Its btst.
Tlio arum are brought Into action and swung
straight from the shoulder , the body falls
unconsciously Into poses worthy the best ef
forts of a sculptor ever changing with a
rapidity the eye can scireely follow.
CHAMPION UACINC POSTURES.
In figu.e I wo see Nlllson , the present
champion of the world , Just as he has taken
a Btroko with the right foot , his arms tense ,
and held ready for the Instant when the right
foot will bo drawn up aud shoved forward
once more. How beautifully the magnificent
thigh muscleo swell out and how gracefully
the lines of the figure compose expressing
the feeling of repressed energy and alurt
strength that Is felt In Myron's masterpiece ,
"The Disc Thrower ! "
In figures and II wo have Donoghuo. the
ex-champion , and McCulloch. the amateur
world's chairnlon , In characteristic poses ,
which show them as If spurting at the finish
of a raco.
It will be noticed that Donoghue skates
lower and mori > crouched than his antagonist.
Tlio moment shown is when ho gives the
final drive with his left Toot , and In another
Instant the arms will he across the body , the
right straight out and the left bent across
to the opposite knee. The rway of the body
to the right 1 * well marked at this stage of
the htroko , whllo in figure 3 McCulloch haa
not yet completed his htroko with the left
and stands with his weight on both feet.
Kiguro 5 shows Lordhal In a characteristic
pose ; besides being a ckator ho Is also a
gymiufct and all-around athlete. Ills style
differs greatly from the others In the owing
of the arms forward and backward rather
than from side to sldo. Ilo also skates In amore

Several factors have hlended together to
make foot ball the Rrentest of all outdoor
sports and iho principal of thcso Is the- de
velopment of team play , the working to
gether of eleven men as one. This feature ,
whllo not new , ls developing greatly from
year to year , enlarging the possibilities of
the game and offering an unlimited field for
thought ar.d study. With no team play the
work of the eleven Is limited to the Indi
vidual efforts of each player. Their at
tempts are disconcerted and spasmodic.
Llko a team of horses not pulling together ,
the men plunge and tug at Inopportune
times and waste their strength.
Foot ball Is pre-eminently the game for the
dlt-play of team piay. No other game cm
compare with It In this particular. Not that
tint Individual elements In skill , in strategy
aud head work are overlooked , but thcso
are made subservient to the particular play
In hand nnd M adjusted to that play as
shall best contribute to its success. To get

eleven men to usj their individual strength ,
agility and speed , their wit , judgment and
courage , llrat In Individual capacity and
then as eleven working as one. Is a mag
nificent feat In orgmlzatlon and general
ship. To secure this team play the players
should be wisely selected cti early as possi
ble In the seafon , and then they should be
kept in their accustomed places each day
no there will bo the least amount of friction
In working out plays. There should be
hard , systematic , daily practice , backed by
close rttucly of every play by each player In
his particular position. The same players
should be used together as much as possible
so that thev can become acquainted thor
oughly with each other's style of play and
strong points. In this way only can the fine
adjustments nnd combinations which go to
make up team play be brought out.
WORK FROM THE START.
Team play from a scrimmage should begin
the instant the center received the ball from
the runner. Kvery rusher und back should
bo In position for the next play the Instant
the runner risea from the ground.
The delay of one man might be sufficient
to spoil the whole play. As s-jon as the ball
Is In play the rushers must give their united
support to the quarterback and the runner ,
blocking their opponents long enough for
the quarter to pass the ball and the runner
to get a fair start. The rushers usually
precede the runner , working together by
strategy and combination , to make an open
ing for him and his Interferers to pass
through. The others should come up quickly
to block from behind and to render such as
sistance at < they are able. The backs stanl
ready to assist each other at all times , Inter
fering for a run and blocking for a kick.
The execution , of all successful team work
depends upon each player doing his duty at
thu rlglu time. Until the last season or two
team work referred only to offensive plays.
Only the side having the ball attcmptril to
execute tram maneuvers. Now a successful
team must work together In defensive play.
The plan Is as yet somewhat crude , but Is
rapidly coming Into favor. In the Ycile-
I'rluceton game last fall the Yale team had
such an organized defense against 'llalrd'H '
kicking game that the I'rlneeton captain had
to abandon that style of play altogether.
As there are likely to bo several good
games of foot ball here In the near future a
short account of the several familiar terms
may not bo out of place.
A scrimmage Is the tussle In the line after
the ball Is .snapped , continuing until after
the ball Is down.
Snapping back Is rolling the ball back by
the center to the quarterback.
A down ia stopping the man with the ball
and forcing him to the ground. The player ,
when stopped , calls "down. "
Tackling Is throwing or stopping n player
with the ball by an opponent. A fair tackle
la made between the knees and the shoulder.
A foul tackle Is to catch below the knees.
Holding Is tbo use of the line men of their
arms when not In possession of the ball
penalty , five yards. The sldo which has the
ball cannot UKO their hands. The side which
' 'Jii.Jiot the ball can.
Interfering Is protecting the player with
the ball 'by several of his own. . side , who run
before or after him and shoulder or block
off would-bo tackles. Interference Is the
blocking off by several Instead of one.
A punt la made by dropping the ball from
the hands and kicking It.
A drop kick Is made by dropping the ball
from the hands to the ground and kicking It
aa It rises from the ground.
Klek off Is the kick from the center of the
field and cawiot secure a goal.
"In-touch" means out of bounds.
RKGAIIDINO THE ( JAMB.
The game Is divided Into two thirty-live-
minute halves , with ten minutes Intermission
between the halves. The .side having the
largest score at the end of the second half
Is the winner of the mateh. Time la taken
out for goal kicking.
A safety la when a player , having re
ceived the ball fr. m one of his own side ,
touches It down hohlnd his own goal line , or
if ho himself runs behind hlH own goal line
and touches It down It Is called a safety and
scores two points for the opponents.
"A touch iHck" In In a measure similar tea
a fufety , except th4t the Impetus which i'ent
the bill rtt-ross the gtal line was given by
the other sldo and scores nithlng for either
side.

of foot lull In tliv west Tta's ' araorlatlon .was

Of course Nebraskam are interest od In the
Nebraska university twin and bipo it win
carry off thpymntnt this season , as It did two
years ag , , but which was won by Iowa last
fall.
fall.Nebraska
Nebraska was evidently satisfied with the
showliiR which It made last fall , as the team
Is playing the same system and style of
pl.iy , under the same coach as then. This
year , however the tram lias much better
materl.il and ought to keep the pennant at
home. It seems at this time that the Ne
braska tram will have to meet almost en
tirely the Pennsylvania style of Interference.
This was used by Iowa and llutto last jenr
and differs from the old st > lo In that tli
heavy men. usually the Riiards , are d.-iwn
back to the. position of the halves aud the
whole mass put In motion , so that when thi y
hit tlio exposing line there Is consMer.ible
welsh t lu motion.
This yrar Iowa again has the Pennsylvania
style , with Waggonhurf.t as a coach.
Kansas is well fixed for cotches , as the
team has Dr. Woodnif of last year's Penn
sylvania team and also Hector Cowan , who
has been the coach for the last two seasons.

The past week has seen a wonderful advance -
vance In the work ot the college foot lull
players. Three Important factors have con
tributed to hard work lu practice : The clso
scorc.s of last Saturday's games , the pros
pect of closer games today ( Saturday ) and
the splendid foot ball weather that has pro-
valled. Aa remarked In The llee's review
of last Saturday's games on Monday , the
close scores wore unexpreti'd and Indicative
ot the fiet Ihat few of the lending team *
have what may be icgarded as a sure thing
lu the matter of victories during thu entire
season. To this general statement p-sslble
exceptions may be made In the cases of
Pennsylvania and Princeton. It Is very
doubtful whether either of lln > j olevenii
will be mot with defeat this fall , and as
they do not play against oarh other their
comparative -strength will bo again left to
conjecture.
On Wednesday there were a few mire
surprises uncorked. With n team compos- . !
of seven regular and four substitute plivor.
Pennsylvania had no dlfHoulty lu si * nuc
twenty points against the usually sinn *
state college eleven of the same HI.VP
Princeton , though not fully recovered from
the bruises dealt by the red men one v.ek
ago , ran away from Franklin and Mirshall
by a score of B4 to 0. Early in the seison
tbo same team went down 'before ' IVnn- l-
vanhi M to 0. On Wednesday , als\ Harvard
registered twenty-four points agalntl llu >
Newton Athletic asrarlatlin. which was 1--
featiHl on Saturday last by Yale , 10 to 0.
Yale had Just all It could do to defeat New
ton. Harvard scored In the llrst two
minutes oC play by good long gains nnii.l-d .
by any fumbles or other nilspla > p. C"rh -
ran of Harvard kicked every goal. This
compirlson should not be taken as pertain
evidence that the Harvard eleven is stfvuor
than that of Yale , but It has a d. . eldedly
crimson hue and must afford genuine s-itls-
faction to the loyal singers of "Filr Har
vard. " .
The following table of scores made by the
leading eastern foot ball elevens. Including
the results of Wednesday's games , gives
food for much reflection to the. font ball ad
herent. Today the foot ball season is at Its
midway pcint. Comparisons made between
the several leaders based on the seores they
have made against the same teams should
now hive some weight , as the prel'mluary '
Season Is now at an end and all tlio eluve-is
have settled down to good , hard work.
