rivalry for decades.
Although the major part of mem
bers, of the Big Four has yet to
tegl practice, Monday of this week
marka the time for most of the rest
of them, so from coaches and acouts and
managers good outline of the teams and
Uetr probable strength call already be had.
Princeton Tigers have been summoned for
Monday on Nassau field, Yale Blues, too,
will meeP first on that day. and the Har
vard men have been pntlfled to appear at
Cambridge on September . 32. ' Only the
Quaker gridiron athletes have "been assem
bled as a squad,; and (hey have been In
training at Eagleamare, near Philadelphia,
for the pact week. There -mre.twenty-algtit
men with Jhe squad so far, and Head C.atb
Williams,, iiui started the game off thus
early In order, to. pick material for hie
vacant places left, from last year. These
re several, there belrfg-two backs and three1
linesmen te-.be sur ailed sure. This large
loss from last year's eleven, together with
the fact that the 'jOl team was Itself not a
high grade one "In. ita class, would make It
appear that Yale and Harvard will again be
perceptibly -anperlor to- the Pennsylvania
(am. The difference does not promise to
be so marked as that of last season, for
any of the new Baen ar gianta, ao to
speak, there being five who weigh over 200
pounds. Part of Penn'a weakness last sea
. b Haul ci'ibrr. and to rcmcdr that
will, of course, raise the standard of the
team. ' ' '
Of all the four big teams Tale's Ions
Is much the )ightft. Only three bid men
drop out. the two ends, and Olcott at guard.
Meanwhile there is now a well-deflned rumor
that "Dick" Sheldon, tho famous guard of
three years ago, will return to school this
fall, and he would then play In Olcott'a
place, thua settling Immediately that diffi
culty, Sheldon haa not yet verified the
roporl. Even if be does not, it should
prove comparatively easy to fill one of the
Ave heavy )lno places, when there is always
alien a mass of material trying for them.
It will doubtless be much more difficult
to get satisfactory pair of ends than a
guard But with a solid Held or old backa
and four-sevenths of a line Yale should not
feel badly.
Prfnceton certainly has a big kick coming.
Of lant yearn team Pell, left tackle; Mills,
left guard; Fischer, center; Poe, quarter
back. McCord, half back, and Sheffield, full
back, were all graduated last June. That
makes big hole. The backs are fairly
riddled and a big gash la cut In the lino.
However, the Tiger had big grlfct of extra
material last spason, much of wh'ch
ranked right up with. the first eleven. In
fact, -eighteen men were played against
Yale, and of those these w:l return:
Davis, captain and left end; Pana, right
guar"?: DeWltt, right tackle; Henry, right
end; Freeman, quarterback; Fpulke, S. Mc
Clave,' Stevens and Pearson, halves, and
Short, aubstltute guard. Thua ot those six
vacancies there Is experienced material for
three at the start. Freeman was regarded
very, nearly Poe'B equal . at quarter last
year, and will probably get the place. Short
ran take Mills' guard position and anyone
or tho halves can play McCord's place. .
Meanwhile the Tigers have three things
for which they may be decidedly thankful.
First, tbey have secured "Garry" Cochran,
the famous captain and end of the 'P7 eleven.
It Is. haM that' nn other Princeton e.ntstn
ever wielded so powerful an Influence over
hid men, and great thlnga are expected from
his coaching. Second, Princeton play every
game at home, eave one, that with Annap
olis at Annapolis, on October 11. Such a
schedule is certainly advantageous. Th rd.
the Yale date, the crowning game of the
season, is not until November 15. That,
tee, la at the Tigers' home, and after play
ing nine gamea there previously tbey aiould
know the ground,
j
Harvard also gets bit In the ipe, and hit
hard.' Cutta, the famous tackle of the
whole season and a member of the All
America team, will be gone, a will b
mate on the left aide of the line, Rlagden.
Greene at center, Uee at left guard and
C.ptaln Campbell at left nd cemplete the
hole In the line, Ristlne, the famous right
half, Is gone- Hie place ran be filled, and
wth the same rd quarter, Marshall, back
little Job laid out. He needs a tackle
to take Curtis' place, two backs to re
place Iarsoa and Cochems. and quarter
back for Marshall. The last position will
give no trouble, however, as Fogg, who
rtarted in that position In '01, but was
shut out early by injuries, l now In ahape
again, aud aa good at least as Marshall.
Larson was the terror among halfbacks
In the western gridiron world last fall
and another as strong, reckless and un
stoppable will not be found In a year. It
la safe to predict. Curtis, too, cannot be
re-placed. He was for four ytare the
greatest tackle In the west, and no other
man as good will be grown In a single
season. Fear was felt about Fullback
Driver, but it Is now aaid that his foot,
will be healed in time. 1
' Neither Badgera. nor Wolverines have
much to feel badly about when they take
a look at the Ciphers. At Minnesota there
will 'be only five, veters ns back, nine of
last year's, first squad leaving the game.
This 1 almost the' same a saying that
Minnesota rtiust no tak,a a year or so to

strong In '01. will again have a light team,
but a fast one. Iowa starts this year to

lose ot Clyde Williams at quarter waa a
blow which demoralised the Hawkeves. early
In the season ot '01. and their auccaeillnr
play did them very little good la the way
of development.
All in all, Illinois and Nebraska promise
to be the teama to cause the trouble, out
side of the topnotchers. The CornhUskers
will certainly be a disturbing element.
Their position In the transmlssourl country
can already hardly be doubted.. It will ap
parently be the aame aa last year, away
above all the rest. Meanwhile games with
Northwestern, Knox and Minnesota will be
sufficient to give It a good chance to meas

Cross-country rung have been the feature
of tho first week's practice of the Univer
sity of Nebraska foot ball squad. Training
began last Monday and every day during
the week the men were led over hill and
dale by . energetic Captain Westorer. At
Drat the runa were made short, of neces
sity, for most of the candidates were short
winded and. carried superfluous weight.
Each day the distance was lengthened, bow
ever, so that Saturday afternoon the boys
ran from i o'clock In the afternoon till fif
teen minutes of 6 o'clock, covering twelve
miles. Coach Booth arrived in Lincoln
Tueeday and at one assumed active charge
of the squad. .Aside from the running,
which Is purely , for condition and endur
ance, training has consisted of passing the
nan, failing on it and kicking. A few mln
utea are devoted to thl each night before
the run is taken. This week there will be a
larger proportion of actual foot ball work
on the campus, and leaa running ever the
country, although that feature will not be
abandoned till the scrimmage werk becomea
fierce ard constant.' So tar the men have
not even lined up, but they will do eo this
week. Not before next week will aerim
mages be cemmenced, the line being held
to mere signal practice and practice forma
tions for a time.
Coach Booth Is especially proud ot the
cross-country ruunlng. Thle Is entirely a
new feature at Nebraska, having never been
done before with a foot ball aquad. Booth
aays, however, that the exercise is one of
the greatest things for preliminary train
ing that could be devised. It brings what
every man need most ot all at the begin
nlng of a atasoa-wlnd. A man who can
run two hour aad atand it well can endure
the fiercest strains and struggling of at
least one fierce half of forty-five mloutea
Though the university Is yrt lo open Its
c1a9c, a horde of gridiron aspirants are
out for practice already. Tbey have re
sponded better than ever before. The gen
eral experience at the university hsa been
that Boea will not come to Lincoln till school
begins, but this year It is different. A good
bunch was out for the first day and they
have been coming in regularly ever Since.
By the end of the present week Westover
expects to have three full elevena ut.
For more than two weeks the warriors of
Bellevue college have been at werk under
Captain Cooper's direction, although col
lege doe not open till next Tuesday. Seme
promising new material is being developed,
and, with all but one of last year! team 1
back, Bellevue premises to put up an Al
game this fall. There will be no sluggers '
r prizefighters on the team. The players
are all bona fide atudents, who are in col-'
lege for work and Incidentally will play a,
clean, hard game of foot ball. All of the
old Hue men will be back: Flato Schofield.
center; Fred Kerr, right guard: Ford Mc
Whorter, right tackle: Hansford Pope, right
end: Frsnk Throw, left end; Alex Cooper,
left tackle; Henry Stroud, left guard. These
men are veterans, and with this summer's
added brawn, they will undoubtedly form a
"stone wall." With the exception ot Carl
Horn at fullback, the back will be In. the
game as last year: Theodore Cooper (cap
tain), quarter; R. B. Cornwall, fight bait,
and Tom Moore, left bait. Cooper la keen
and quick at bis poet and runs his team
well. Cornwall can sprint faster than ever,
and Moore promises to be the beat kicker
in the state. Among the new men In col
lege are several players of experience, and
last year's second eleven will no doubt
furnish some strong candidates.
The college authorities have greatly en
couraged the team by their efforts to secure
a first-class physical director, and by im
proving the athletic field. The field haa
been enlarged and made level as a floor,
and Is now being hardened by the dally
use of a seven-ton roller. The boys say the
field Is "peachy." The echedule la as fol
lows: October 4, Omaha Young Men's
Christian association at Bellevue: October
11, Omaha Medlce at Bellevue;. October. IS,
Tabor college at Bellevue; October 25, Lin
coln Medics at Bellevue; ' Nerembor 1,

Foot ball prospects at the Omaha High
school may be said to be 'not only bright
but flattering and are far beyond what was
expected. Coach Pearse and Captain Fair
brother bad the men out last Tuesday after
noon for the first time and the showing 1s
one ot which to be proud. ' Besides eturdy
nucleus of seven men of last season s star
team there is another veteran from the Went
Des Moines High School team ot '0L and In
addition to that a grand bunch of new ma
terial and eld aecond team and -substitute
en. - . . .. ...
Flrst. there Is Captain Al Falrbrother,
who will again play right end, where he
has been for four years. Claude Robertson,
the star interscholaatlc center, of Nebraska
and Iowa laat year, will go to right tackle
this seaaon. His ability Is too gtaf. to be
hidden longer at center, so the most re
sponslble and difficult position in the rush
line goes to him- . ' .'
For left tackle there Is Earl Sterrlcker;
tor guard or fullback, Red Thompson; for
quarter. Roily Shields and for halves. Harry
Loftus and Will Coryell, last year' star,
who was Injured In the game here against
the Lincoln high school late In. the season.
This completes the list at Omaha High
school first team veterans, but McKelL the
Des Moines boy, will be started on the other
end. . ' y
Omaha feels, especially good at getting
McKell, not only because an end is needed.
but because he la a great punter. In tact.
It waa bis kicking that beat the Omaha boya
at Des Molnea on November 10, last.
Theoretically, then, there are but n center
and two guards to find. In reality. Coach
Pearse wants eleven good men. No one
on the opening lineup can be aaid to be
sure of his job. Competition Is keen, many
new men are out and to see some of the
old favorites displaced would not be surpris
ing. Lots of the young fellows are being looked
on with favor. Tompaett promisee to be n
likely halfback, Cathers la making a strong
bid tor the center job. The two Putnam
boys, Frank and Will, are both showing
strong. Frank being a rival of Roy Cathers
for centor. Then there are Penfold, Smith,
Sprague, Toder, Van Carew and several
others who are looking good to Coach
Pearse, the former Nebraska 'varsity tackle
who will handle the team.
From the present outlook it seems that
the High school will have a heavy Hoe and
light backs. The line will be n hummer,
there being three men over 180. The soya
think they will have n team- superior to
any High achool eleven around. Manager
Thompson . has arranged a good schedule,
with seven home dates. - The eleven will
probably use the Young Men's Christian as
sociation park out on Ames avenue for all
match games. The schedule reads:
September 20. Young Men'a Christian as
sociation at Omaha. ',
September 27. West DeS Molnea High
achool at Dee Moines.
October 4, Council Bluff b High school at
Omaha. ,
October 11.-West Des Moines High school
at Omaha.
October 18. Lincoln High school at Lin

October 26. Bellevue college at Omaha.
November 1. Lincoln High school . at

November 8. Creighton university at

A RECOGNIZED AUTHORITY
'Tit 1-2 LIFE WOIIK OF Pit. McOREW HAS BEEN THE TREATMENT OF DISEASES OF MEN ONLY. THROUGH
OUT THE WEST HE IS ACKNOWLEDGED TO BE ONE OF THE MOST SKILLED, AND SUCCESSFUL SPECIAL
ISTS IN-THE TREATMENT OF THIS CLASS OF DISEASES TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS EXPERIENCE, 17 YEARS
IN OMAHA.
A MEDICAL EXPERT
Perhaps the bent outward and visible evidence of Iho esteem in
which Dr. McOrew is held throughout the west is Hie fact that
he has been called on several occasions to give expert medical
testimony in the district courts of the state. In each case impor
tant issues hung upon the nature of various venereal diseases and
disorders of men and none other than the most reliable special
ists of unquestioned professional integrity and ability could be
allowed to testify. Dr. McGrew is a .recognized authority with the
bench and bar of Nebraska and his opinion in cases of this kind
is never questioned.
CHICAGO TRADE REVIEW says: "We do not hesitate to
single out' Dr. J. E. McGrew of Omaha, Neb., as a specialist fully
deserving praise. The fact that diseases of u private nature are
his specialties, gives him a decided advantage over the general
practitioner, and wherever inquiry was made among lending
merchants, bankers and county officials and others, the strongest
preponderance of testimony showed beyond doubt that Dr.
McGrew does all that he agrees to do; that every claim that he
makes is lived up to fully. Dr. McGrew is a thoroughly trained
physician, a deep thinker, a keen reasoner, a persistent reader of
.the literature of his profession, and hence a wide-awake and in
telligent specialist. During our twenty years of experience as a
newspaper correspondent we have not encountered a more
thorough, a better equipped or more reliable specialist than Dr. McGrew.
THOUSAND OF MEN throughout the west will tell you that the CONFIDENCE THEY PLACED IN DR. McGREW
was never betrayed. , His sympathy is ever extended to those who neek his service or advice hence MEN BELIEVE IN
HIM AND TRUST HIM. EVERY DAI brings many flattering reports of the good he is doing or the relief ho is giving.
Possibly there is 'no man throughout the west-today-who occupies a position in which there are so many opportunities for
doing good toward his fellow man. THE DOCTOR fully and seriously comprehends ihe extensive responsibility arising
from his great work among men of all classes.

Harper's Magazine:
In the discharge of his duties, in promot

frequently called upon to address tha pupils
of schools he had been visiting. On one
occasion he was at a rural achool and the
usual address was expected at the close
of .the - exercises. The children went
through '' a number of calisthenlc ex
erclaea, which were, probably, some

asked:
"Can soma one of you tell me why It la
that I cannot do theat calisthenlc exercises

After aa Instant's pauae a amall hand

Indianapolis American and other strong

From Birmingham, Ala., cornea word
that Eddie Lawler is making a great tear
at second base with the team that repre
sents that city in the Southern league.
Both in the field and at the-bat Eddie has
made good, and ia now looked on as the
king pia infielder of the league. Omaha
fans who have watched his play for years
on the local amateur diamond are not at
all surprised at the success he has made.
And beat of all la the story that Lawler
la not at all chesty over his success.
One day during the week over 17,000
people paid to see the Philadelphia Ath
letics beat Baltimore and on the aame

Philadelphia team lick Pittsburg. No
wonder the Philadelphia magnate talks of
peace. And on the same day the Boston
Americana drew 4,600 people and the Bos-
toj Nationals had 150. Such facta as
these can be appreciated even by tho "big"
league magnates. Some kind of a truce
is sure to be made by the leagues this win

tha National geta back the money It has
