Laat Saturday marked tbe opening of the
(cot halt scaion la a large majority of the
colleges and universities of the country.
Moat of the schools played their first prac
tlco games against outside opponents on
that day and nil those, that did not are now
well launched Into the full swing of train
ing. This formal opening of tho trlnf foot
ball season brings forcibly to tho mind of
ull Nebraskans tho gridiron giants of th"lr
own university and also the teams which
they will meet during tho next two months.
Though undoubted champions of this sec
tion last year, this season of 1001 Is tho
it.ost critical from a font ball standpoint
that tho University of Nebraska has ever
faced. It Is the conclusive and decisive
test both of form and piano for the Corn
huskcrs, slnco It will dctormlno whether
they aro destined to break Into the fast
company of all mlddlo west foot ball teams,
bar none.
That Is tho great aspiration of tho Ne
braskans ami they took tho first step last
year. After years of fruitless efforts thev
finally managed to get a gnmo scheduled
with ono of tho big teams, nnd, as It de
veloped later, the best one. Minnesota con
tented to play the last gama of the sea
son, tho Thanksgiving day wlndup, against
Nebraska on tho tatter's grounds.
It was away back In Juno when the agree
ment was made. The Oophcra had been
second rnto for three years. Hut Coach
Williams enrno from tho cast and ho Inau
gurated n change of tactics that produced
phenomenal results. In one short season
ho developed from tallcndcrs a champion
ship team.
Thla was done largely by tho abandon
ment of light backs nnd ends, n team ar
rangement at ono time absolute, but now
fast fading out of popularity. "Tho Min
nesota Olants" was tho new appellation
that grow out of tho change nnd this team
carried out n career of connuest seldom
equaled, Wisconsin, Chicago, Michigan, all
tho former vlctora, foil victims to Its
prowess and nono could scoro save the
Dodgers, who mado five points against tho
Gophers. Then camo tho game with Ne
braska and tho Cornhuskcrs found them
selves pitted against the champions of all
tho country west of New Jersey.
Mm Ml life Midi Minnesota,
Undaunted by tho prospect Nebraska
camo on tho field. I'lgmlco they were bo
lide their opponents and outweighed near
twenty pounds to a man. Hut thuy piled up
mora than twlco as many scores against
tho northerners as any other team had been
nblo to make.
Thus Nebraska started Its wedge Into tho
ranks of the topnotchcrs. Had tho plains
man won tho game their position would
havo been unquestioned. Hut they did not,
so It Is Insecure. Ilreaklng training, a lot
down and all such arguments arc advanced
on behalf of Minnesota to oxalic the score,
0 to 12, nnd n further test Is demanded
of Nebraska.
So now Dummy llooth'a babes muut vouch
for their feat of last Thanksgiving day.
They havo secured games with both Wis
consin and Mlnnesotn, undoubtedly the two
leaders of the big bunch, and the time to
prove their prowess Is coming. A victory
over cither team, or very close games with
both, will bo enough to satisfy everyone
that Nebraska deserves a place In the ll3t
of superior western teanu. To that eud
Coach Ilooth Is now hard at work on tho
finest bunch of material, now and old, that
has ever come out to try for places on the
Nebraska team.
What n successful Isauo In these two
great games would mean to tho Nebraskans
can hardly bo overestimated. They would
then bo In lino to bp taken on by any col
lego In tho United States. Two years agu
Wisconsin went east and played Ynlo to a
standstill. Captain I'at O'Dea. star klckor
nnd nothing else, lost as certain n victory
ns tho Badgers ever had In sight. The first
thing the western boys did was to rush tho
ball light down to tho Yalo fifteen-yard
line. O'Dea played fullback, but ho novor
carried tho ball, doing kicking and nothing
olse. This ntyle of victory did not suit him,
for ho was not getting In tho game. So,
dcsplto tho fact that stralght-llno bucks
had proven good for scvonty-flvo yards
without n halt, he broko In and stopped
progress Just at that critical moment. Lit
tle "Activity" Tratt, quarterback, had called
for another winning lino buck play.
IImv WtNonnMlit I, out.
"Change that!" jelled O'Dea, and then he
gave tho signal for a drop kick at that goal.
Ho missed nnd the Wisconsin chance to
score was gone. Ten minutes later tho Yale
blues hud the ball and n. halfback got I0030
around an end. O'Dea was playing back
nnd ho should havo caught tho runnor. Hut
ho was never a good tackier nnd ho mlssad
this fellow a yard. Tho roat of tho way was
clear.
That Is how Yale scored against Wiscon
sin, winning the gamo, nnd how Wisconsin
did not score, losing. It Is also why Cap
tain Arthur Curtis of this fall's team said,
when asked If ho would have nny star
kickers this year:
"I hope not. I want foot ball playero,
not klckors."
Had it not been for those. Individual er
rors of Judgment nnd piny Wisconsin would
havo defeated Yale. In other respects tho
team exhibited superiority at eovernl points
All this inKrolv rnra In hmv hnvv pnn.l

On the fact that the attendance at the
University of Missouri bids fair to bo vastly
larger thla year than ever before tho Tigers
bnse their hopes for a good foot ball team, f
True, n largo number of last year's players
havo returned, but It Is tho hope of the
Ml3fourlans to Improve on the team that
represented them last year. If possible.
They do not Intend to bo content with nny
. .1
farmer players It it Is possible to glean
something from the newcomers.
In cue way tho Tigers havo been some
what handicapped for tho last year or two.
Tho strlugent rules barring ull students In
the professional courses from participation
in athletics a3 representatives of tho uni
versity havo weakened tho team to no In
consldcrablo extent. However, tho school
and nnthlctlc authorities think that the
wisdom of such a course has been clearly
shown nnd tho rules will be adhered to
strictly again this fall.
Missouri In by no means behindhand In
ndoptlng the latest methods for handling
amateur college athletics. I.Ike the larger
universities of the east and middle west, it
haii crented tho position of grnduate man
ager of athletics, H. II. Smiley has been
elected for the place. Through his business
r.nd executive ability uud n knowledge of tho
situation borno of long residence at tho
university ho Is competent for tho position
and affairs In that department will un
doubtedly (lourlsh under his care.
Associated with Mr. Smiley Is Or. Clark
W. Hetherlugton, a member of tho faculty
and at the head of the department of
athletics In nil lines. Coach Murphy has
been retained and will probably, because
of tho better class of material, bo able to
work wonders with tho Tiger tcum. Ono
of his strong points Is popularity with tho
men who are under hla instruction. They
will do anything nud everything for him
nnd tho fact lends great spirit to their
work.
Some of the old mcn who aro out for
practice aro Captain Washer, McCnslIn,
Smith, Houx, Ellis, Davidson, Hayes and
Anderson. Thcso aro all tlrst team men.
Then thero aro many substitutes, who
played In sovoral of the big game3 who
havo also returned. They aro Williams,
Thurman, Yont, Nesblt, U M. Ander

Carlos. With all these old nnd tried play
ers on hand the Mlsjourlaus have tint much
to fear. They can certainly get a team
as good an that of last year, and tho
chances aro all In favor of an' improvement.

Never were prospects as fair at the
University of Nebraska for a superior foot
ball team as they aro this fall. With a
line practically Intact from the champion-

fortune has showered every possible favor
upon the Cornhuskcrs at tho Inception of
their supremo effort to establish them
selves permanently In the higher ranks of
western foot ball teams.
Just what tho Nebraska collegians will

wcro not hot enough nftcr a
go to Lincoln before It wan nccea-
nvervonp nf ,hnn fifteen has ennn hnnk fn
Lincoln possctscd of a great advantage over
thoao men who will now start In to try for
places on the team.
Nino of these men will alone form a grand
nucleus for a team this yenr. Thoy are
all old plnyers, seven of them being from
last year's team. Beginning at center, there
Is Kcehler; then cne guard, Ringer; two
tackles. Brew, last year's captain, and
westover, captain tnis year; next come
Ryan and Cortelyou, ends, and Render and
Craudall, half-backs.
Mrlnucr Is n Slur.
Hut there aro two more experienced men.
Foremost, nud one who will probably bo
tho star of thla year's team, li Stringer,
undoubtedly tho grcntest end that ever
played In this part of the west. Stringer Is
large enough to play itnywhore 011 the team,
weighing 200 pounds, but ho combines with
that superb size n quickness and agility
which render him the most valuable kind of
an end. Tho rapidity necessary to 1111 'that
position successfully generally eomcs onlv
with smnllcr men, nnd the ono trouble nl
v.uys experienced h that an end who Is fast
enough is not heavy enough to smash Inter
ference thoroughly nnd continuously
throughout a game.
That Is Just what Stringer can do. Ho
Played with the Nebraska team In ".)7 nnd
'OS nnd was the hit of the eleven. Then
neglect of studies compelled him to ston
foot hn" and slnco that time thore has be;n
a constant effort to get him bark. In 'DS
ci nnAfl . .-. I 1 1 1 .. ten 1 ,
kiviiiihci "cihiivu uiiij low ,uumis anti ue is
even faster and moro clever nt his present
size, being more mature.
The latest news from the university grid
iron Is that this phenomenal foot ball player
has developed a new ability that may pull
him off tho lino altogether. Kicking has
been much of tho work at tho South Uend
training camp, and In this department
Stringer has shone. Coaeh Booth Is now
thinking seriously of playing Stringer as a
fullback. At defensive work ho would cer
tainly bo tho safest and at tho same time
the meanest man to play bnck and tacklo
breakaways that could be found.
If this Is done It will probably mean that
Kingsbury will go bad: to his old placo at
lacme. no is anoiner oiu player, nnd a
crackerjaek, too, who will bo with the team
again this year after a lay-off of two years.
In 'C8 King played a great tackle, and that
is nlB natural position. He is also a fair
kicker, and Hooth expected to play him
back till Stringer commenced to put so well.
With Stringer bnck Kingsbury can play his
old tackle. That will shovo Hrcw, who haj
tho place as captain last year. In ono point
to guard. And that place Is now empty
SI101I1I 11 I'riiiiiUliic Cull ill dlite.
This will leave, however, but ono heavy
end. Shcdd, n Lincoln High school boy, has
entered the university and will certainly
play foot hall. Ho weighs ISO pounds and
has played end for the High school four
years. Whenover ho has lined up against
tho 'varsity ho has held his own nnd has
often played all around bin opponent. With
this man on one end nnd Stringer on tho
other nothing more could be nslted for thoae
positions.
With the personnel of tho line practically
certain now, excepting perhaps ono position
there is only tho back field to look after.
and Itcro again Is a host of material, As
has been said, either Kingsbury or Stringer
will doubtless play fullback. For halved
Render, Crandall, Nellson, Hunter and half
a dozen others nre striving to bo competent.
Little doubt exists as to quarterback. Ralph
Drain, who played the position all la3t ycnr,
will ln all probability squat again In the
old plnco behind center. Ho Is small, but
what ho ran do Is best told by tho fact that
ho has played on the first team three years
dcsplto hit size, cither at quarter or end.
Captain Westover has Just installed an
other feature In training which Is new to
the schcol. That Is a tackling dummy. It
has been set up on tho campus in a corner
of the gridiron, nnd nl novitiates aro nov
spending hours n day running fiercely at n

arled assistant coach, and Will Melford,
captain of the championship team of 1 SOS,
has been elected to the position. The other
step Is tho naming of Isaac Kaymond, full
back for a portion of last year, as assistant
foot ball manager. Mr. Raymond has played
for five years and knows every need of a
moleskin man. He can also be of great help
to Manager Cowglll In connection with the
business end.
LINEUP OF JAYHAWKERS
Knnsns Inlirmll) Promises to Have
n (inoi! Kletrn In tlii
field.
At Kansas Stntc university the foot ball
outlook Is fairly promising. The entlro
system of athletics In the Institution has
been placed upon n very firm basis by the
creation of the position of collego athletic
manager. This man has supervision and
control of all collego athletics, each differ
ent department coming within his scope.
Foot ball chances are now considered
bright, despite the reports of the early
summer. Along In June It was thought that
only four members of the old team would
return, but the scaro Is now past. Six old
men havo shown up for training or will
appear shortly and tho college Is greatly
elated In consequence.
Among tho worst losses sustnlned by tho
team Is that of Captain Algie, the famous
ud of last season. He was well called "lho
errlblo llttlo Algle." Nebraska collegians
nnd athletes who have lined up against him
on the gridiron say they will never forgot
Algle and his hurrlcano etylo of play, as
tho star of the team his position ns captain
was logical and It will be hard to choose a
worthy Micccssor.
Hut Jcnklnson, Qulgley and Vincent, all
backs and all well known, are there. Klder,
Alglc's vls-a-vis at end, will also return.
Shrant for ono tackle, Alphln and Meecham
at guard and Carter In tho mlddlo will very
nearly complete n lineup that will to n con
siderable extent preclude the necessity of
new material tavo for emergencies.
Among the now men from preparatory
schools and elscwhero who havo promised
o play with Kaneas this year a Clay Con
or man named Dobbs has aroused tho
greatest enthusiasm. Ho weighs 215 pounds,
Is active nnd nn athlete. Ho could easily
take any ono of tho threo central positions
and cairy It off well. It Is probable that
ho will land at guard, puehlug Alphlu off
tho regular team.
What tho Kansans base their hopes on
even more than on the material ltoelf, how
ever, Is the fact that thoy have the famous
Johnny Outland, tho former University of
Pennsylvania captain and n halfback, as
coach. Outlnnd has been ranked by au
thorities as second only to Dibble, the Yale
terror, as a halfback. His strong point 13
handling green material nud It Is expected
that he will do wonders with tho K. U.'s.
Tho Kansas schedule Is a good ono and
n full ono. Of tho big games thero aro some
with tho state universities of Nebraska,
Wisconsin, Texas, Tennessee and Missouri.
Minor gamcb aro signed with Washburn
college, Kansas.; the Kansas State Normal
school, Ottumwa collego, Kansas; Klrks-
vlllc Normal, Missouri, and Uololt collego,
Wisconsin.
A feature of the foot ball at Kancas unl
vcrslty Is the tremendous support It gets at
home. No ochool Its size In tho west ex
hibits tho enthusiasm found among the Jay-
bawkoru. Tho spirit at Nebraska docs not
equal it. I.Incolnltcs will never forgot tho
tlmo four years ago when a hordo of Kan
cans, students, business men nnd people
from all walks of life came up to the No-
braaka capital nnd left wads of money be
hind because the Hugcaters wcro superior
nt foot ball. Whatever team KanBas llnally
turns out. It will rocelvo moro love nnd
material support from tho students nnd out
siders at Lawrcneo than any team In this
part of tho country.
TENNIS MATCH IS UNDECIDED

The outcomo of tho tennis finals In the
Athletic association's championship tour
ney Is now a matter for decision In commit
tee rather than on the courts. Tho score
stand3 two sets each for Young and Wob
ster and the match has been referred to
Hill, Dennett and Klumpp, acting as cup
committee.
Tho match has been greatly delayed by
ratny weather nnd tho singles only camo to
tho final round on last Thursday. Web
ster, who has dono n deal of oulet train
ing on tho Shrlncr courts within tho last
two years, blossomed out as a full fledged
star and gave the veteran Young a hard
race for first money.
in tho flr3t set tho games stood four
nil when Webster mndo 11 strong rally and
took tho succeeding two. The younger
player was able to placo hH balls admlr
ably, repeatedly passing Young at tho net
and dropping within on Inch or two of the
boundary line. Tho sot was evenly con
tested, almost every game running to
deuce.
Young then realized that the situation
was serious and played with tho caro and
accuracy which distinguishes his best form
Ho had no difficulty In taking the next set
fi-2, with twenty-nlno points against Web
Biers' soventecn. Ho maintained the same
pace In tho third set, taking It 6-1, with
twenty-eoven points to his opponent's fif
teen. Webster still nppearcd fresh, how
ever, and managed to draw out tho fourth
sot 0-2. thirty-ono points to twentv-one.
At the conclusion of tbe fourth set it
was 6:30 p. m. and tho sun was on tho point
of dipping bencnth tho western prairie,
Young was of the opinion that tho match
should bo postponed on the ground that
tho succeeding sot would Inevitably be ln
terrupted by darlinoss. Wcostor took a
contrary view, believing that the match was
developing Into a test of enduranco In
which tbo odds rather lay with him, Ho
preferred to contlnuo tho play then or
never and the situation was laid tjerore
the committee. Young was upheld by Mr.
Klumpp, who nctcd as umpire.

MADISON MEN PROMISE TO WIN PENNANT
Makeup of the Team This I'.arlr l
the Season Indicate that Novem

Among all western teams that of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin will attract this year
by far the widest national attention and
Interest. .None of the others save the Chi
cago Maroons Is much known In the east,
and It Is already admitted that the Windy
City men havo llttlo chnncc as compared
with prospects this fall at Northwestern,
Minnesota, lown and especially Wisconsin.
Utit there Is still nnother reason why the
eyes of eastern foot ball fanatics ns well
ns western arc focused upon the Dodgers.
It Is the fact that for three years tiny havo
had teams of the highest grade and have
only missed first place ln the west by the
narrowest margin on each occnslon. In
1S0S, 1809 nnd ngaln last year only ono game
stood between the Wisconsin men nnd tho
championship of tho west. One disastrous
defeat at the end of each season has kept
them down.
Uecause of this all foot ball authorities
realize that It is Wisconsin's tlmo to win
this yenr If ever. Each of the three years
tho team has Improved. Last year It was
superb. Only three men of tho cloien aro
lost this time, and their places nre already
ably filled by new men who from a pros-
pcctle standpoint are of the same high
order as their predecessors. The fact that
Phil King Is still tho coach Is an Item the
Importance of which cannot be overesti
mated. Again, tho man who has starred the team
for theso threo years Is now captain Ar
thur Curtis, left tackle, the lad who played
such havoc with the Yale lino two years
ago.
Curtis was only 17 years of age when he
entered tho university nud weighed 100
pounds, yet because of his magnificent dash
and hardiness and constant vigor he made
the team In his freshmnn year at tho star
place, tackle, and hnB held It ever since
among giants many pounds heavier than he.
This captalu Is now only 20, but he Is far
and awny the strongest portion of the
Iladgcr forwards. His weight has Increased
to 175 pounds. That Is nil ho has ever
needed, no matter what tho slzo of his an
tagonist might be. It Is a tradition at Wis-
consln that Curtis uovcr once In threo years
played n losing game or was outplayed at
his position.
It Is not till along In November that the
Cornhuakcra go north and cast to try re
sults with tho Hadgors. but when tho time
doos como it will be the greatest gamo of
the year for Nebraska. A good showing
with Wisconsin would put the scnrlct and
crenm very high. It has not yet been de
cided whether tho game will be played in
Milwaukee or at Madison, but It will prob
ably occur nt tho Capital City.
Wisconsin Mtty Co 111 e West.
The latest feature of tho Wisconsin-Ne
braska relations Is, however, tho proposi
tion for a return game, which has been
tentatively nrolcetcd by Wisconsin. Grad
uate Manager Kllpntrlck said a few weeks
ago that If Nebraska defeated Wisconsin or
played n close gamo with tho Dadgcrs he
would want nothing better than n post
season return game ln tho west, providing
the financial end of tho affair could bo suc
cessfully arranged.
This Is of peculiar Interest to Omaha lov-
ors of the sport, for the Gate City would
certainly bo tho location of that gamo. To
bring tho famous nadgers out here would
be n decldtd coup, and tho game would at
tract nttcntlon the country over, besides
drawing spectators from throughout the
middle wcsl. Wisconsin student nnd grad-
uato support Is strong and It Is safe to nay
that If Nebraska won In tbo Ilndger state
and the conquered ones should como out to
Omaha Immediately after Thanksgiving for
revenge fully 1,000 rooters would accompany
tho team. So there are only two Its to the
nronosltion. It depends first upon Ne
braska's showing In tho great game, and
tecond unon tho possibility of a suiiieieni
guaranty to bring Curtis and hl3 mcn tins
far.

The claim was really too small to

to that point to investigate tho death of n

" 'What train killed them?' I atkod of tho
old man.
" 'That thnr trnln that gits hero about
midnight,' ho answered.
" 'What were they doing on the track
at midnight roosting on tho rails?' I
asked, sarcastically,
" 'No, sir,' he shouted. 'I lock them In
the hen house every night.'
" 'And tho train ran over them when
they were locked up ln tho hen house, did
It? How do you explain that?'
" 'Jes' ez easy ck rollln' off n log,' ho
answered. 'A blamo thief broke Into the
hen house and stole throe of my best hens

"The best I could do was to advise tho
