With thovent of Notinlwr, what )
known aa regular golf season came to
an and ar no mora events are scheduled
for comp4on at either the Field or Coun
try club.
The loo aeaaon haa leen fairly satliifac
tory. Th (tint haa aged another twelve
montha id the rolf era, aa a claaa, are bet
ter pi aye than before. A very material
factor liacqulrlng proficiency lit the (una
of golf experience and continued prac
tice. It I said that a regular goiter ahould
be ablefter the neOlment&ry atepa have
been adilred. to better hie game by from
two to Our atrokea In a year. Many have
exced theae figures, while othera have
not be able to do aa well. After a player
haa rtfhed a certain stage It la a hard

ablllf. What he playa the course In reg
alarl la the only true basis upon which
any Mayer's ability may Juatly be deter
mini. Occasionally flashes of brilliancy
tnajfce all right from the spectator's stand
point but they are not satisfying to the
plajr himself, when ha knows that on
the lex t hole or the next round he Is liable
to something that proclaims the novice.
In ha east It la customary in fact It Is
rnatdatory that the regular players shall
ahaye play In pairs and that In each and
vfy contest they shall return score cards
to bos placed In the club house, for the
peUsal of the captain In making out the
handicaps later on. An average of si play
er scores during the year la made In the
fai and his rating la then determined upon.
6Me of the western clubs have adopted
ttS policy. The score cards must be duly
cttlfled by a player's opponent.
i"he light, or rather the eontest, for su
premacy at the Country club has lain be
..treen R. R. Kimball and "Dick" Stewart,
Tie Utter finally winning the club cham
pionship. Their contests have been good
ratured. but have left the friends' of both
If doubt aa to which haa the honors, as
each plays a good game. At the Field club
the premier honors go to H. B. Morrill,
who Is the winner of the annual fall cham
plonfliip contest.
Tbi Country club has been busy during
the year. In addition to a number of con
fess) among Its own membership, the play
ers: have mixed up In contests elsewhere.
Thi local contests have Increased In num
bef and Interest and a first-class aggrega
tion of golfers Is being cultivated.
i feature of the play at the Country
e.'ib is the Interest which has been taken
tn the women's events. The principal
events of the year are the conteatafor the
women's cup and the women's subscrip
tion' cup. The winners of the women's
Subscription cup during the year were aa
'follows:
i Mrs. C. T. Kountse, July tt.
, I Miss C. Mercer, August 19.
:. I Mrs. I. A. Coles. September 1.
(. ' Mrs. W. A. Rellck, October 21
' The women's cup was won twice this
year by Mrs. J. T. Stewart, Jr., on July
,' I and October 21.
Considerable Interest centers about the
contest for the tournament committee cup.
Thewlnr.ers of thla event during the year

One of the most Interesting events of the
year Is the contest for the Cartan cup,
which la finally to pass tohe player who
hall have won It three times. The win
ners of this event, since the contest for It
as begun In 1902, are as follows:

On August 14 and IS contests were held
with the Waveland and Country cluba of
Ie Moines, respectively. In which the
Omaha Country club was a decisive victor
In both events. 1
Representatives of the club assisted tn
the contest the Transmlsslsslppl team
played against the Western Oolf assocls-
tlon at Chicago, tn which the Tranamlssls
slppl wai victorious. Good golfirs are
being developed at the Country club and
Interest In the game la healthy and on the
Increase.
The Field club haa had a very auocessful
year. Being younger than the Country
Club, It has not had the group of first-class
golfers that Its contemporary has, but the
play this year haa materially Improved the
work of I he golfers at the Field club, and
a the golfers continue their work further
Improvements will be noted.
The first contests of Importance began, last
year, when the Field club cup was in com
petition. Th contest for this eup was ai
handicap medal play at eighteen holes, the
Contests being monthly, and the cup waa to
become the property of the player winning
it three times. It was finally won by C. H.
M. Bone. Those who won tt last year were
as follows: W. K. Palmatler, C R. M,
Boue, Im U. Talmage, V. O. Strlckler, W. O.
Gllt-arV A, O. Hunt, H. G. Jordan. F. P.
Reoney, L- D. Carrier and J. E. Bucking
ham. For this year the winners were H. B.
Morrill. J. Francis. R. Scott. C. R. M. Bone,
E. A. Cope, Jack Sharp. N. F. Reckard and
C. R. U. Bout.
During this year a number of blind bogle s
and handicap contests were held up to July.
In July the club held lt handicap chant.
-j jrionshlp, which waa won by J. Francis, who
waa also the winner of the August event
The September handicap was wen by W. K
Cundlit
One of the lending events of the year was
the contest for the club championship
which was held last month and resulted In
a victory for H. B. Morrill.
L'p to July of this year most of the eon
tests at the Field club had been at medal
play. Under this method of plsy It waa
found that the members did not greatly Im
prove their game, and so from that time
forward all contests were held on the match
play sysiem, and an Immediate Improve
ment in the play of each contestant was
noted, as the match play system caused the
players to put orth every effort to win
each and every hole. In August the Field
club entertained the Waveiand and Country
cluba of Des Moines. In the contests with
the Country club the Field club wss deT
feated by t holes, the score being 42 holes
to 27. The Waveland players were de
feated by 7 holes, the score being 31 holes
to 24.
The Field club held three matches with
the Omaha Country club, two of which
were held on the Field club links, the Field
club being defeated In all three events. In
the last of these three contests the English
or Nassau system of counting by points In
stead of holea waa adopted, and the result
was 10 to ( points In favor of the Country
club. The Field club Justly regarded this
aa a marked stride forward, since they had
come off victors In one-third of their In
dividual matches with the Country club
players.
For the next year the Field club Is mostly
concerned over the change of the greens,
which haa been talked of for some time. It
is proposed to place a viaduct over the rail
road track, about 100 yards south of the
number I green and go right straight acror s
the track. The greens will be changed bo
that the number hole will be In the vi
cinity of the club house. Thla will enable
those players who wish to go only nine
holes to wind up at the club house Instead
of going way across to the west Side. It
will also afford a regular nine-hole course
for the women. It Is also proposed to vary
the monotony on the west side by removing
at least two of the holes, to play which a
contestant must go up one hill and down
another, and then repeat the operation, to
the middle field somewhere. The green
keeper has already gotten the new greens
under way, and they promise to be first
class greens. Among the other changes con
templated Is one which provides for making
the greens level. This would be a great
help, the players contend, as under present
conditions an approach shot or a long put
cannot be Induced to stop near enough to
the hole became of the slant of the greens,
and a player often loses one or two shots
on a green for that reason.
The club year closes next month, when
the annual business meeting will be held,
and after It announcement will be made aa
to the plana for next year.
The town of Leavitt, Neb., boasts of one
of a few golf links which Is controlled
and maintained by the employes of a fac
tory. Leavitt is a suburb of this city, most
of the residents being employed at the
Leavitt sugar refining plant there, of which
H. O. Leavitt, secretary of the Transmls
slsslppl Golf association, Is president. The
course Is of nine holes and measures 8,100
yards. Mr. Leavitt Is president of the club,
which numbers twenty " members. Mr.
Leavitt was also captain of the Ttans
mlsalmlppl team which recently defeated
the Western Golf association team at Chi
cago. The links at Leavitt is laid out
over property surrounding the factory.
The links is credited with being one of the
best in the west, as the turf Is first-class
and the ground undulating.
One of the best ways in which a golfer
may Improve his game Is to witness the
playing of some one who Is a lop-notcher.
This will do the careful student of the
game more, good than many other things
which the average -golfer ndertakes. In
this c-nncctlon It Is safe to say that the
visit of the Oxford and Cambridge golfers
to the United States the last season has
done more for the game of golf than any
thing else which could have been devised.
When a golf contest takes on an inter
national aspect It Is then that the general
public is interested at once and there la
hardly a student of the game of golf In
the United Statea but will tell you that
he watched these contests with unabated
interest. If the visitors have taught our
golfers any one thing above another it Is
the fact that the contests' are won and
lost entirely on the short game. There
are many golfers who can hit the ball
hard enough on the drive. One geta tired
of admiring and trying only for the long
drive, although It must be conceded there
Is nothing finer. . But when It Is shown
that the player making the long drive has
nothing else which will commend him as
a golrer, U is oovious inai ne nas oniy
acquired the rudimentary principles of the
right ancient and honorable game of golf.
It was In the approach and green work
that the Britishers defeated and excelled
the best players on this side of the creek.
This la an Incontrovertible statement of
facta, and Is further attested by the recent
exhibition given by Miss Rhona Adair, the
champion golfer among the women of the
British Isles. While Miss Adair drives
beautifully., It was shown that she excelled
In the short work, and that some of her
competitors could drive as long a ball, but
that when tt came to the short game they
were not her equal.
It Is hard to estimate the tmpetua given
to the game In the United States by theae
visits from our friends on the other side
of the creek. But It is evident that they
Increased the' Interest and Improved the
play In a number of cases. Coming back
to our original proposition, we therefore
say It Is necessary for a golfer to see good
players In action, in order for them to
learn how to equal tt. Having witnessed
the play of the best male and female play
ers of the Britishers, It Is now up to the
golfers In this country to see that Improve
ments are noted all along the line.
Hugh Hamilton, a North Berwick golfer,
haa been appointed a green keeper at the
famous royal and ancient links of St. An
drews to succeed the venerable "Auld Tarn".
Morris. The latter is to retain the title of
honorary keeper of the green as long as his
life is spared, and Is to draw a pension.
Hamilton comes from the links at Port-
marnock, Ireland, where he waa In charge
of the course. The name of "Auld Tarn"
Morris Is familiar throughout the golfing
world. A Scottish poet has paid him the
following trlbuto:
Where'er the game of Scotland runs

When hearts yenm hnme to hreesy links.
There's a kindly wlnh for thee.
Our a'e. a'e wish Is a lanp. lang wlah
(But It comes frae a braid countree)
An' aye. an' aye. the bxrden
Is a blessing. Tarn, for thee.
The fact baa often been commented upon
that Omaha haa more l&wyera among Its
golfing element than any other city of equal
else In the United Statea. Apropos of this
the following story will r.ot be tmln:
"Oowfln Geordic" Turpie. while act

Wichita. Kan., was a spectator In the court
of Judge Dale. An Important rase wss on
trial, and It la aald that ths Judge paused.

MINNESOTA-MICHIGAN CONTEST A CORKER
Each Teaaa Has New m Chance
for the rhamploashls) ef the
nig Nine for the
Year.
One week ago six foot ball teams repre
senting all that was best In western foot
ball met In annual contest In three games,
which because of their intrinsic Import
ance and the vital Influence they exer
cise on the ultimate outcome of the cam
paign for the western championship, were
deemed by many to be the most Important
day for western foot ball, witS the pos
sible tsxceptlon of the big contests which
sre scheduled for Thanksgiving.
The history of previous "big nine" sea
sons records no Instance where so much
was at stake on the developments of a
single day. Although the struggle for the
championship honors still remained un
decided following the games of a week
ago, the battles were of much Importance
In giving a line as to the probable out
come of the annual struggle for premier
honors. Many believed that the champion
ship would be decided by the Minnesota
Michigan game. But now that the elevens
have come out of the fray with a tied
score, the Issue is more uncertain than
ever and in the event that Chicago Is
defeated at the hands of these Institutions,
the only thing upon which a claim for
the western could possibly be based would
be to give the highest honors to the one
which makes the highest score against
Coach Stagg's pupils. But the showing
made by Stagg's team Saturday has set
the foot ball world of the west talking as
never before. That Chicago should defeat
Wisconsin by a decisive score waa never
dreamed of. much less that she should de
feat the Wisconsin eleven at all.
The game between Minnesota, and Michi
gan was the aeventh annual battle be
tween these elevens. The first of the
games took place In 1893 and for five years
they continued to be an annual fixture of the
schedules of these Institutions. In 1897 ath
letic relations betweep-Minnesota and Mich
igan were broken off. and the historic
game at Detroit last year marked the
restoration of friendly relations between the
Institutions. The record of the six games
constitutes a history of Wolverine triumph,
for Minnesota has not been able to nego
tiate a victory since 1894. Each year she
has approached nearer and this year has
succeeded in ttelng the score and the an
nual contest next year will doubtless wit
ness such a crowd as never heard of be
fore In western foot ball and which will
exceed the crowd of 26,000 people which
witnessed the game this year, and which,
In itself. Is no small number of people. .
It has been said since the big game that
Minnesota won, though the score was a
tie. Crediting a statement like that would
scarcely be doing Justice to a worthy foe.
Michigan's superior physical condition off
set Minnesota's superiority in offense and
dofonse. But training Is aa "much a part
of the game as coaching. Michigan had
had as much bad luck In the matter of
Injuries as Minnesota, yet Trainer Flts
pattick waa able to get his men Into shape,
wh'le Minnesota's trainer was not. After
carrying the ball forty-five yards at a
stretch, and then seventy-five yards to
make a touchdown. It cannot be said that
Michigan did not earn a tie. Minnesota
gained more ground than Michigan from
scrimmages and also In returning punts
and ktckoffs. Mlnesoa outplayed Michigan
during a longer period than' Michigan out
played Minnesota. Yet at critical times
Michigan was able to protect her goal line,
and she waa able to score against a deter
mined defense when she made her final
spurt.
The statistics, of the game, as looked at
through Minnesota eyes, shows the fol
lowing: Tarda Gained Minnesota, Michigan.
From scrimmages gtf lo2
Running back punts 27 9
Running back klckoffs .... 95 10
Punts 3 336
Average punt 43 in
Penalties (yards lost) 90 . 115
It was undoubtedly the most stubbornly
contested game of foot ball ever witnessed
In the west. The college spirit was at fever
pitch, and the fact that the gate recelpta
were 830,993.50 is ample evidence to prove
that "Hurry Up" Yost was right when he
termed the crowd a "corker." After the ex
penses are paid the remainder will be
divided equally between the two athletic
associations. This will give each about
815,000.
The aftermath of this big affair Is almost
as Interesting as the contest Itself. The
Michigan men say that Minnesota was aff
tually brutal, and the opinion has been
generally expressed that Michigan will re
fuse to meet Minnesota next year. To offset
this the Minnesota . supporters say that
Coach Yost signalled to his men from the
sidelines during the game.
Some of the big games of foot ball bare
been played, and as Is usual In these con
tests there are many who profess them
selves as surprised. The Nebraska-Iowa
game and the Minnesota-Michigan contest,
to say nothing of the Chicago-Wisconsin
game, are some of the contests which have
furnished unexpected endings.
The press reports to the Omaha papers
from Iowa City would make It appear that
the Iowa team was decidedly outclassed.
The reports sent to the Des Moines and
Chicago papers take a different view and
hold that the two teams were on a par, but
that the sensational and totally unexpected
runs of the Nebraska captain turned the
tide In favor of Nebraska. The Iowa team
la much stronger than the supporters of the
Nebraska team have given It credit for, and
the Comhuskers' victory was secured only
after the very hardest kind of uphill fight
ing, and then only after the fleet-footed
captain had gotten away with a couple of
sensational runs. Insofar as straight foot
ball Is concerned the two teams were nearly
on a par. although Nebraska excelled some
what In this respect.
Since the same thla v h kua mn

win iook iorwara to me game between
these two Institutions next year with more
than passing Interest, since the game will
undoubtedly be played In Omaha- The two
teams are playing under a two-year con
tract which was negotiated last fall. In
which It was stipulated that this year's
game was 'to be played at Iowa City, or
soma point to be designated by the Iowa
management. An effort was made to have
the game played in this city, but It proved
unavailing. The contract also provides that
the game for 1904 shall be nlavl t
or some place to be named by the Nebraska
authorities. The supporters and friends of
the Comhuskers have conferred with the
management and the announcement has
gone forth that next year'a game will un
doubtedly be played in Omaha. The fact
that the receipts at Iowa City were not
sufficient to pay Nebraska's guarantee Is
ample evidence that the game should go to
some city. For this year's contest certain
PHttles in Omaha guaranteed Iowa 81.000,
but the offer was refused. M of which
makes It more than a mere probability that
Omaha will be the scene of the big battle
next yesr.

and novel feature Into the game of foot
ball In their contest with Harvard Satur
day, October SL The ball was kicked off
to the Carlisle full back. He was imme
diately surrounded by the whole Carlisle
team and when Harvard's forwards came
down the line they looked In vain for the
man who had the ball. Boon thereafter
the Carlisle full back, who wore a sweater,
was seen going up the field toward his op
ponent's goal line at a regular Lou Dillon
pace, and when it was too late It waa dis
covered that he had the foot bail tucked
beneath his sweater on his back. He had
gotten Into the midst of his team mates
and the ball waa hurriedly pushed under
his sweater, and he had then taken to his
heels, with his arms free, and the opposing
team could not oee that he bod the ball
until he waa past overtaking. There
seemed to be nothing in the rules to cover
this point, so the Carlisle team was the
gainer thereby. It has been said by prom
inent foot ball men of the east that the
Carlisle - team would be the best In the
country It It only had a larger number of
students from' which to select a team. With
a dearth of material, the Carlisle school
has turned out a team each year that haa
given the strongest elevens In the east a
hard tussle.
Wisconsin's hopes for figuring In the
race for the western championship went
glimmering when she went down in defeat
at the handa of Chicago a week ago. The
mighty punting of Eckersall, who haa been
the bone of contention between Stagg and
the Amateur Athletio union, was responsi
ble for Chicago's victory. He put the ball
between the uprights repeatedly on the
njace kick, and thereby won a notable
victory for his eleven. The end of the
Eckersall dispute is not yet. Now that he
has figured so prominently in the Chicago
Wisconsin game, the western colleges will
doubtless look Into the charges of profes
sionalism which have been urged by the
Amateur Athletic union. Stagg'sN conten
tion all along has been that the colleges
should not permit themselves to be dic
tated to by the Amateur Athletic union.
The dally - practice at Crelghton was
somewhat broken by the late rains, but
things are going along prosperously again.
The 'varsity squad played against the
State Normal last Saturday and made a
very creditable record considering that
Crelghton and Captain Callahan were not
In the game. A large number of students
are taking an active Interest and are ap
pearing on the field for Instruction. This
materially helps ths coach with team work
and is a great advantage, too, to the first
team. Lungren, a new athlete from the
medical college, proved his skill last Satur
day aa tackle and Is assured of a place on
the eleven. Dwyer and McShane are also
strong and are likely to be given a per
manent placa on the first team. Next
Buturday the Crelghton eleven will en
counter the leather oval artists from the
Haakell Institute at Lawrence, Kan. The
Indians are the largest and fastest team
Crelghton has on Its schedule and the game
will undoubtedly be the hardest played In
Omaha this season. The Indians In many
games have manifested their skill and

Coach McDonald has great confidence In

WITH THE LOCAL BOWLERS
Effect af tke Light Ball Rale Is S.w
Being Kotea la the Lower
Scores.
The lack of ability on the part of bowlers
to get their spares Is the raot noticeable
feature of the bowling season thus far.
At the close of the season of MG1-1 the use
of ths light ball had brought forth a large
number of man who were mortally certain
of getting ninety-five out of 100 spares, but
the season which followed, of loading balls,
In some cases to a weight of twenty-two
pounds, haa practically done away with
the skill of many of these men, and their
averages are taking a big tumble In con
sequence. A lower percentage of strikes
haa tesulted from 1 the use of the light
ball. This has been attended with a cor
responding Increased number of spares to
shoot at. In which the proportion of errors
la bound to be greater, but this does not
account for all of the trouble.
There has been no marked difference be
tween the work of tho local bowlers this
fall, as compared with the corresponding
period for last year. It Is too early In the
year for the men to have rounded Into
form. The i players approach their best
form along the first of the year. The
Omaha bowlers are getting In shape to
meet any and all comej-s. The local players
will include many of those who have been
active In outdoor sports during the year,
but And their outdoor labors not to their
liking In the winter months when the ther
mometer la hovering about the sero mark.
Tho list of bowlers also Include the man
of business and those of the professions.
Many of these are cramped up at a desk
during a goodly portion of the day and a
whirl at bowling of an vvenlng loosens up
the muscles and assists In keeping the
general physical makeup In good condition.
The gamo of bowling In this country la of
very recent origin, comparatively, but Its
devotees during the winter months exceed
those of any other sport. Tha fact that
the game can be played of an evening,
after the day's work Is over, haa been a
strong factor in the popularity to which
the game has attained.
The local alley owners have put forth
every effort to put their alleys in good
condition. It was aald for awhile that the
local alleys were not on a par with those
of other towns. If this waa so, to any
degree In tho past, the conditions have
changed so materially of late that the
situation is now radically the reverse and
the local alleys, for the major part, are
credited with being equal to those, of any
city In tha west. That the local bowlers
agree with thla view of the matter Is amply
evidenced by the fact that the number of
bowlers Is much larger than before.
The use of the smaller ball has practical
ly eliminated the large scores which were
so frequently noted In previous years. And
there are many who hold that with the
new ball the best of bowlers cannot roll
their game with any degree of certitude.
Railroads, and splits, and sloppy strikes
are the order of the day with the crack
bowlers throughout the length and breadth
of the land. The cry against the small
ball Is not confined to the local bowlers.
A protest haa gone up from the rank and
file throughout the land. But It will do
little good.
It was held that by the use of the new
ball, after a bowler had attained a certain
degree of proficiency. It was the exception,
rather than the rule, for him to miss a
strike. As a matter of fact, at the end of
last year'a season It waa no uncommon
occurrence to note that bowlers here and
there throughout the land had secured the
perfect score of S00. This placed the aver
age bowler at a decided advantage. It was
argued that the No. 1 pin must be hit Just
so every time. This was an incontroverti
ble statement of facts, but on the other
hand, the ability to do this could not be
acquired short ot extended and costly prac
tice work. The average rua of bowlers
raised the hue and cry, as a result of
which the smaller ball waa adopted, and
now those who were once looked upon as
the "unmlssables" have their share of
broken splits, railroads, etc., with the aver
age run of bowlers. Thus the game baa
been placed on what Is held to be a more
equitable basis, but this assertion Is strong
ly combat ted by the foremost bowlers
everywhere. The pressur. that is being
brought to bear, against the new ball can
not but result In Its elimination If the
present agitation Is continued.
