Despite the popular tear to the contrary,
tt In probable that tho University of Ne
braska will havo a very strong foot ball
team next year. The fact that Coach Booth
and all tho old men save two will probably
remain la basis for thin (insurance. The
exclt&blcncM of undergraduate fancy and
tho pessimism of graduate conservatism
has already budded a hoot of obstacles In
the way of keeping tho Cornhusker eleven
up to lta standard of this year, but a care
ful scrutiny of tho latest phases of the
situation and prospects shows that theso
rn almost all Imaginary.
Tradition, too, militates strongly against
the hope that Nebraska will keep up the
paco another Reason, but It Is likely that
tli 1 enemy to success will also bo over
thrown when next year's candidates are
rounded up for duty about the first of Sep
tember. In many wcatom colleges and
especially at Nabraskn, It has Invariably
boon tho case In tho past that a good team
for two years meant an awful season of
weakness to follow.
This Is n logical result, when analyzed.
For Instance, when the garao begins In a
school a team of eleven men Is gotten to
gether. They do not shlno to nny extent
tho first soason becauso of greenness and
lack of expurlcuco In team play and In tho
points of tho garno In general. Tho next
year practically all these men nro back,
and with thu samo component parts to tho
machine some cxcollcnco In drill Is at
tained during tho second season snd as a
result tho team Is a good one. The third
year the same rule holds, und tho team,
ranted good coaching and training, bo
comes as much of a star organization as
It over could; In other words, It about
reaches Its limit.
Dut about the fourth year tho men begin
to graduato and lenvo school and tbla U
fatal to tho team's standard of work. Very
few of tho old men aro loft and the new
ones cannot bo rounded Into shspo to work
with tho votcrans as did their former con
temporaries and team mates. So It takes
about that year and another for tho anuad
to recover from tho Infusion of new and
green blood, and- to get together onco nioro
s an experienced team. Then for two
years or no tho eleven Is n topnotcher again.
At Nebraska this rule has held good to a
remarkable degreo. Tho last few years of
play Illustrate this. In 1891 tho team was
only fair. In 1802 and 1893 It was good. In
1894 It was so bad that Donno coltega do
foatcd It. In 1895 It was mediocre, In 1890
better. Then 18D7 and 1898 were star years
and 1899 a dismal pago of defeats. That
toam, however, had on It moat of tho men
who aro now tho wonders of the weat In
foot ball. Such men wero Drain, Ringer,
Cortclyou, Koehlor, Westovor, Brow, Cran
dall and Kingsbury. Tlicro aro eight of
this year's Nobraska team. Nono of thorn
ware great foot ball playors at that tlmo;
tome wero decidedly weak. Now thoy aro
the wizards who havo becomo tho respected
rival of Minnesota nnd Wisconsin, and who
havo In two short years brought tho Corn
husker team to a placo that permits It to
chadulo games with Northwestern, Wis
oomln and Minnesota already for next sea
on. That shows what oxpcrlenco nnd tho com
munion of team play will do. In 1900 these
men bettered their 1899 form so greatly
that thoy defeated every opponent save
Minnesota, against whom they scored moro
points than did any other team during tho
season. At tho first of this season tho same
men were back, but for u month or so thoy
wero not In the shape they bad been at tho
tlmo of tho Tbunksgtvlng garao with tho
Gophers the previous season. That's why
the Giants defeated them by so large a
ecoro on October 12.

strong and has been on the uphill slant
slnco that tlmo. When It met Wisconsin
on November 8 it was well on tho way to
Its later perfection. It would therefore
seem that If this samo team could be held
together ono year moro It would bo the
finest eleven Nebraska has had.
What has caused tho fear for the strength
of next year's team Is the fact that seven
of the regular men on tho eleven graduate'
tho coming spring. People said they would
therefore) not be In school, and this would
of course havo annihilated the team, leav
ing only four first team men to start tho
season. Only two of theso graduates wilt
stop playing foot ball. They are both four
year men and have played their limit, any
way. Tho other five all havo a year or so
coming on the gridiron yet and wilt re
turn to school to play out their full tlmo
allowance. Tho two who aro to depart
for good are from two positions In the team
which tt chances can be easiest filled with
good trained men. These players aro Quar
terback Drain and Right Guard Drew, l'or
Brow's pfaco thcro ore three men who
played that position at different times tho
last season, any ono of whom will bo sat
isfactory and will train Into a good man.
They nro Tobln, Voss and Moloney. It
was owing to accidents to Illngcr and Brew
during the year that all thrco got good
oxpcrlenco on the first eleven In cbam
plonHhlp games, and this makes them all
tho more valuable.
For quarterback, again, McDonald of this
year's second cloven will undoubtedly bo
used. He has played this Important placo
on the second team all year and has
shown up wonderfully well. Though It will
undoubtedly bo somo tlmo beforo bo ac
quires tho wonderful foot ball scuso and
intuition and capacity tor team manage
ment which Drain has shown this last fall,
he will bo nevertheless a very happy solu
tion for a puzzling question.
Of the other men doubt exists only In tho
cobo of Captain Westovor. Ho hns only
played thrco years and is almost, certain to
return, especially If tho team promises to
bo u championship one. Thon Cortclyou
and Crandall, Omaha men, both graduate,
but will tako post work and play another
season, their amateur limit not having ex
pired yet. Center Koehler Bays ho wants
to play another year, eo will tako post
graduato work also, and Fullback Pills
bury, though ho will rccelvo bis diploma
next Juno, will contlnuo on at school In
tho new department of mining engineering
Just begun. For tho rest of tho line, Sbedd
at end, Illngcr at guard and Stringer at
tacklo aro all yet undergraduates and will
be In tho gamo again. Then Bender and
Kingsbury as backs complete the quota of
old men.
This fills all tho places, and In addition
to that there aro several moro valuablo
men, some old, somo now, who are all good
enough for tho first team. Tho halfback,
Cuff, who mado such a good showing In the
Missouri game, will push some of tho older
players hard for a permanent berth in that
position, and thcro nro two star players
coming from tho Lincoln High school. Ono
In Benedict, brother to him of placo kick
ing famo on tho '99 team. This young
Benedict Is nlso a great kicker and Is n.
back of great speed. He has been staying
out of school ono year In order that he
might tako on n llttlo wolght beforo play
ing 'varsity foot ball. Ho was captain of
tho Lincoln High school team in '00. Tho
othor la Hubbard, a guard, and this makes
another man for tho heavy lino positions.
A moro desirable outlay for tho com
mencement of a now season could not bo
asked. Weakened probably In but ono place,
and that at quarter, tho team will present
an imposing front of veterans, with a very
tow new ones mlxod In. It Is moro or less
truo, however, that the welding together of
.his team as outlined above dopends upon
tho retention of Coach Booth or the secilr
Iuk of as Kood a man. If neither can bo
dono somo of tbeso graduates will not care
to contlnuo In tho gamo.
Tho fact Is that tho chief Influence in
bringing them all back anyway Is school
spirit and an Intense deslro to havo a No
braska team next year that will defeat
everything It meets. With tho aggregation
named on deck, this would very probably
bb posslblo should Booth stay, for none of
the other mlddlo west schools will keep
so many of their old men. Minnesota goea
all to pieces, whtlo Wisconsin loses at least
four. Of tho others Nebraska stands in no
fear. N
But thero Is llttlo need for worry that
It will not all come true. Coach Booth

at present does not Intend to desert Ne
braska, even for Wisconsin. Tho reason Is
this. Ho has Just ono season more In which
.to coach, after which he will begin tho
practice of law In tho cast. His ono wish
Is to pilot a championship team for that
one last season, and he will go to nny
school where tho chances aro best for such
an eleven.
Wisconsin does not soem to offer this
opportunity. Booth is half inclined to be
Uevo that Nebraska will bo better than
any of them next year, so he will probably
stay with tho Cornhuskers. If all these
old men will certainly return ho Is sure
to do so. Othcrwlso he will doubtless
move. Booth has been offered a berth at
Wisconsin, but the placo does not suit him
at all. Ho wishes to coach Just during tho
season and then break away from tho gamo
for good tho Drat of December. Tho po
sition at Madison Is one tor all tho year
'round. I'hll King gets J3.500 a year for
coaching foot ball and taking general charge
of all athletics through tho year. Booth
docs not want that. King himself Is an
attorney, and has Just broken tho thrco-
ycar contract ho had with Wisconsin at
that price. This agreement was mado after
ho had been there ono year. He has now
lasted out two of tho threo years and will
leave.
Every Influence Is being brought to bear
on Booth to Induce him t6 stay, and that
la ono reason why so many graduates aro
promising to return nnd stay In school dur
ing tho foot ball season, at least. They
feel that with Booth they can have a west
beater of an eleven. Booth feels tho same
way. People considering tho following
probable lineup for a starter next year
will got tho samo hunch: Cortolyou, right
end; Westovor, right tacklo; Tobln, right
guard; Koehler, center; Illngcr, loft guard;
Stringer, left tacklo; Shcdd, left end; Mo
Donald, quarterback; Crandall, right half
back; Kingsbury, left halfback; I'lllsbury,
fullback.
And In addition to that thcro are Cuff
and Bender for additional first-team backs
and Moloney and Voss for first eleven lines
men. That makes llftecn men who Imvo all
played on tho first team this year. Be
sides thoso tho school Is Buro of two now
ones nt least who will be right up to tho
standard. They nro Benedict and Hubbard,
tt looks as though Booth could not leavo
such chances.
Wisconsin university would now soom to
have demonstrated with considerable clear
ncsa that It Is tho real champion of mlddlo
west foot ball this season. Of course this
opinion is based Bolely upon comparative
stores, un unsafe method always, but It Is
tho only ono available in tho caso nt hand
Just now, and It tho two teams do not play
a post-Reason gamo against each other
most foot ball critics will accept this ver
dict. Tho result of tho Chicago games with
Michigan nnd Wisconsin wero a groat sur
prise. Theao contests wero lookod forward
to by tho rivals for tho championship as of
supremo Importunco in determining tholr
rclattvo status, and everything favored ac
cepting tho two game's ns a measure. They
were but twelve days apart, so no difference
In tho training or condition or form of tho
Maroons could bo reasonably pleaded by
olthor Wisconsin or Michigan it discomfited
as an oxcuso for Its failure.
It was merely a question of which team
could mako thu blggost scoro against Chi
cago, tho heavy Wolverines, with their
mass plays, or tho lighter Badgers, with
their peculiar mlxturo of open work and
close formations. Michigan knew this when
tho Chicago team camo to Ann Arbor on
Novcmbor 16, and bent ovcry energy to tho
work. But 22 to 0 wao all tho Wolverines
could do.
That n.ado It look as though Michigan
was not very strong, as Chicago was
thought to bo weak, and Wisconsin hopes
rose They felt again on Novcmbor 23,
however, when Michigan defeated Belolt by
89 to 0, moro than twlco tho score Wlscon
sin had made against tho school early In
tho soacon on October 12. So tho Badgors
saw plainly that Michigan was then bettor
than they thomsolvca had been six weeks
beforo, and It was a question whether or
not tho superiority had continued along
with tho ncaeon.
So It meant n good deal to both rivals
when tho Badgers faced Chicago Thursday
and defeated tho Maroons by 35 to 0. Tho
Chicago lineup wan practically tho samo
and tho Maroons wero If anything better
than thoy had been twelve days previous.
This comparison completely overshadows
that of tho Belolt game, for thoso were bo
far apart as to tlmo as to be valueless In
Binh a Hcnsn.
It is Just posslbllo that this superiority in
Wisconsin's showing ngalnst tho Maroons
may result In that event which Is longed
for by every enthusiast In tho west, a post
season gamo botwoon tho two. In this
Michigan is tho party that refuses to play.
When Wisconsin stepped In and took the
Chicago Thanksgiving garao in Chicago
two years ago aftor tho Wolverines had
held It for years back tho Ann Arbor poo
plo said that thoy would nover play tho
Badgoro ngaln. And thoy haven't.
That resolvo makes It certain that had
Michigan's Chicago scoro been superior tho
Wolverines would havo gone calmly on In
high disdain and contentedly claimed the
championship. But now tho 'Badgers will
hurl every taunt nnd posslblo form of de
rision at tho vaunted Michigan players,
and tt is possible that the sting will bo too
groat to bear. It Michigan still thinks Its
team superior the gamo will occur, for In
that cubo the Wolverines will tako Joy In
going out to show the Badgers things. So
evnry ono Is hoping that Michigan pride Is
hurt and Michigan confidence still supremo.
In tho east Cornell has finished a most
successful season by defeating tho Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, 21 to 6, In thus
conquering n member of the Big Four Cor
nell has placed a mark high on the grid-
Iron scroll of honor, and the good showing
made against Princeton on Novomber 2 Is
assuranco that tho "I yoll" peoplo do-
servo real credit for It all. Another such
season will see Cornell pushing Pennsyl
vania entirely out of pluco In foot ball cir
cles. Tho Big Four must of necessity ha
composed of tho best teams, or It cannot
bo a big aggregation In any sense. Penn
sylvania has been falling woefully below Its
standard of recent years and tf Cornell or
any other school annihilates the Quakers a
few seasons It will push them to the back
seat nnd tako rauk with Princeton, Har
vard and Yale.
Tho' overwhelming drubbing Michigan gavo
Iowa nt Chicago Thursday morning effectu
ally shelved the championship hopes of tho
Hawliejcs. It ulsn seems to point to a
conclusion that Michigan would beat Min
nesota hands down by u largo score. Iowa
held tho Gophers without a score till
toward tho end of tho last half and the
lowaus were plainly outclassed Thursday,
Missouri's victory over Kansas was con
siderable of a surprise, as comparative
scores all through tho season had Indicated
that tho Tigers were much the wcakor of
tho two. However, It Is Just another Indi
cation of tho unreliability of such com
parisons that the team which Nebraska
dofeuted ni to 0 In Omaha on November 9
should defeat the team which Nebraska
beat only 29 to G on November 10 nt Lin
coln, and that by a scoro of IS to 12. Ne
braskaus are glnd Missouri won, for u nicer
set of clean, gentlemanly foot ball players
never visited this state.
Nebraska's own victory over tho Haskell
Indians was un examplo of tho suprrbest
nerve nnd spirit every seen on tho grid
iron. Of all the scores of college games
played north of Mason and Dixon's Hue
this season It furnishes only the third
exception to the rule that the first scoro
wins tho game. Illinois recovered and de
feated Northwestern after tho purplo was
well to tho good, a simitar occurrence
featured an eastern contest early In tho
season, and now Nebraska, with tho scoro
10 to 0 against It, has piled up the neces
sary winning points In tho last ten minutes
of flay, when even the stanchest sup
porter had lost hope.
Not onco In Ave years will any big foot
bnll team bo seen overcoming such odds
at such a stage In the game, when the teams
aro so evenly matched that tho under
dogs have struggled sixty minutes of the
allotted seventy In a vain attempt to mako
a score. It was a grand rally and by far
the prettiest thing Nebraska has done this
year. It took ten minutes of whirlwind,
ten minutes of Drain, ten minutes of
Bender, ten minutes of a line that held
like a rock and charged like a warhorso,
ten minutes of a spirit that rose higher
and mora determinedly nt ench successive
rebuff, to mako thoso eighteen points that
won when defeat seemed certain.

Boxing and wrestling affairs show early
signs of tho usual winters accentuation
Already minor matches in both classes are
being arranged about Omaha, and somo
lnrgor ones of perhaps national Importance
are promised for this city later In the sea
son.
News which Is probably received with the
most enthusiasm by lovers of tho fistic
sport In this city Is that Oscar Gardner,
tho "Orcnha Kid," for years a prime
favorlto tho country over, had really
Rtralghtcned up at last and Is actually
training conscientiously. It Is admitted by
every ono that Oardncr was once a torror
In his clnss and that ho could still bo well
up In tho bunch If ho would work for a
fight. But that is one thing that Oscar has
for months past refused to do. Tlmo and
ngnln ho has entered tho ring, and against
good men, too, with absolutely no prepara
tion In cither training or discipline. Gard
ner Is really training now and ho promises
to get In shape onco for tho first tlmo In

In that shape all during tho winter llatlc
season. Tho resolvo has nlrcady mado

"Kid" to do them honor again In the ring,
Two fights aro already arranged for tho
near future. II. Smith nnd J. Whlttaker,
the two colored lightweights who have al
ready mot In this city onco, will light
twenty rounds In Hast Omaha within three
weeks. Theso men aro both colored and
weigh about 123 pounds In fighting trim.
Smith won tho last fight, which was In last
September. It took seventeen rounds, how
over, ior him to do his man nway. That
would Indicate a good contest the noxt
time.
Next will como a light between Whlttaker
and Gardner. This will occur In South
Omaha and Gardner should bo tho winner.
In wrestling matters Potcr Loch Is com

match for $500 a sldo in view. Frank
Greenman, a well known local athlotc, Is

Tho men weigh about tho same "63 pounds,

SHOOTING RUHS OUT EARLY
() in n ha lltiutci-N Kind finiun Very

The season of slim shooting has come
early for Omaha huntsmen this year.
Neither In land nor water fowl was tho sup
ply of remorkablo extent, anyway, oven .it
the break of tho law's tlmo limit, and for
weeks past It has been rather slim pickings,
both beforo nnd after you get them.
Dcsplto this fact tho local trigger artists
are still enthusiastically pursuing tho elu
sive winged creatures. In September and
October they got somo good chicken hunt
ing by going away out northwest to tho reg
ulation stamping grounds for it, and this
only increased their ardor for tho water
fowl, which thoy are pursuing now to the
exclusion of all clso.
Somo llttlo success has been met with In
this quest, though nono of tho flights have
beon heavy, either In ducks or goese. By
going out in tho sandhills the best water
fowl shooting has been found, but many
hunters contont themselves with a shorter
cry and range up and down tho Missouri
river or the Platte, Including the numerous
ponds that follow the courses of both bodies
In their territory.
On one of theso shorter trips three
Omaha huntsmen had fair success last
weok. Thoy were Fred Goodrich, G. W.
Clovuland and W. O. Lowe, and they spent
a full week in the vicinity of Do Soto. They
showed a substantial bag on their return
and tho supposition Is that thoy shot tho
birds.
No special variety of cither ducks or
geese predominates this year. Though
flights aro of no largo proportions, they
seem to Include tho usual share of each
kind of bird.
Thanksgiving day was a gala tlmo for
Omaha shots of all kinds. For tho riflemen
thero were numerous turkey shoots In
progress round about tho country and tho
shotgun advocates could cither attend the
Omaha Gun club shoot or roam tho wldo
fields at will.
All these diversions proved popular. Tho
most largely attonded turkey shoot near
Omaha was held at tho white lead works,
and many a bird died tho death which awaits
tho palm of such contests. At most of tho
shoots the old hcad-through-a-bole-ln-the-box
method was employed. At others hast
ily Improvised by shotgun cracks tho luck
system was In favor. Each man In turn
shot at hlH llttlo squaro plcco of papor on
thu side of a barn, A cross marked the
centor of each paper. Tho man Inndlng the
shot nearest tho center of tho crossing lines
took the bird. So tho Idea was to keep the
pcllots from scattering Just hs much as pos
sible and thus get moro chances for the
raonoy. To this end many n sly sport was
seen expectorating voluminously down his
shotgun barrel, nnd from one gun thus doc
tored tho shot camo nil together In one glob
like a hugo rlllo ball, taking out tho entlro
center of his paper. He took the turkoy.
Tho shoot of the gun club was a success
In every particular Many high scores were
made, and only the wind prevented more.

tho season's play when so few games had
occurred that ono night's bad rolling wad
sufficient to land a team several places
below Its former Btandlng, And so tt
proved with tho Clnrksons. After that
moment of prosperity, tho team lost all
throo of Its games tho next week, and has
never gono so high since.
Dut now, with twenty-four games nlready
gone, tt takes a persistent streak of high
grade work or of the opposlto kind to put
a team up or down, and this makes tho
slow crawling raco between tho Omahas
and Onto Cltys still more Interesting. Tho
two aro now but two games apart, and
should each team repeat Its performances
of tho last week twlco moro thoy would bo
a lint tie.
Just now these two teams aro In a posi
tion to daily along and fight It out for tho
top placo as they will. They are both
considerably iu advance ot tho nearest
rivals, the St. Charles and Clarkson teams,
which are a tie for third place.
Last week, however, tho (Jato City
men did tho moro credltubln work. In
defeating tho Germans they bad a harder
task than did tho Omahas with tho West
erns, yet tho latter won but two of the
threo games, while tho Gate City men took
tho trio by handy scores.
That goose-egs proved tho Waterloo of this
Germans by Just ono position In percentage
Thl3 team Is now shoved down to sixth
place, while tho Krug Park team has risen
above It, reversing tho positions of last
weflk.
Thero nre no furthor changes. Clarkson
and St. Charles men titlll tlo for third, each
having won two nut of threo games last
week. Tho Nationals, however, braced up
and won a gamo against tho St. Charles
team, and another such Bpurt will take that
cipher off tho front end of their percentage
figures.
Nono of tho tennis throw any particularly
high totals, nnd play was very oven between
thorn all, Thero Is not a dlfforonco of 200
pins between tho totals on threo games ot
any two of them. Tho Gate City, Omaha
and St. Charles men, howovor, throw good
substantial scores all through their con
tests, and thero was a marked Increase In
the steadiness of play.

CURED BY SWANSON'S "5-DROPS"
1 SCIENTIFIC SYSTEM OF TREATMENT THAT NEVER FAILS
If vou aro suffering from Catarrh or Asthma, secures a bottle of
'5-DR0PS" at once. It will afford quick relief and effect n permanent
1 cure of these distressing diseases. Unlike almost any other remedy it is
system is involved as is the case with chronic catarrh. The nose is usually
the first to feel the attack of catarrh, and the discharge, unless promptly
attended to, becomes thick, tenacious, foul smelling and of n yellowish
color. This gets into he throat and causes mi offensive breath, and n
continual desire to hawk nnd spit, causing various forms of stomach
troubles and resulting in the blood becoming filled with the poisonous
matter. "5-DROPS" work3 in an effective manner, by at once giving relief
to tho sufferer by inhalation and taken internally reaches every part of tho
system, and cleanses the blood of all its impurities. It strengthens and
builds up one's whole system, effectually driving out the poisons and
restoring the affected parts to a perfect healthy condition. It quickly stops
the unhealthy and offensive discharge from the nose, clears the head, and
breathing immediately becomes easy and natural.
READ THESE CETTERS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN CURED BY "5-DROPS"
HATTIE SMITH, Wausau, Wis., writes: "I suffered with catarrh for tho last five years.
No doctorscould help me. Sometimes I was unable to hold up my hand, nnd wan deaf for
fivo years. After taklug threo bottles of your '5-DROPS' I feel better than I ever havo
before, nnd am able to work nil day. I can truthfully say that '5-DR(JI?S' is tho best
mcdicino for catarrh, and uo household should be without it."
