Undlmmed brightness to this day. He waa
one of a group of great men of tha grid
Iron of the period dating back to Walter
Camp'a time and continuing up to and
through ly.
The game haa undergone changea In that
time and underwent Ita moat pronounced
and beat change in 1906, but auch waa the
natural prowess of Ita great men that any
of them could hare performed aa bril
liantly under one aet of rulea aa another.
The Heffelflngere and Rlggses, Cowana and
Newella, Camp and Poea of long ago
would have been aa much at home with
the forward paaa, onslde kick, ten-yard
rule and neutral tone aa the Forbeaea and
Eckersalla.
Earliest In the Select claps cornea Walter
Tamp. Camp played the game In the early
80s and waa aa good a player aa ha Is
a coach. Greater praise no man can have.
Camp waa a halfback, a fast, elusive run
ner and a fine ail-round actor on the grid
Iron. If there be any so benighted aa not
to know where he played It may be said
that It waa at Tale.

' In New Haven, the place where the foot
ball pi ay era oome from, another famous
halfback, Wyllya Terry by name. He and
Eugene Richards were a mighty pair of
backs, wonderful kickers both. Contempo
raneoua with them waa Aleck Moffat of
Princeton, another accomplished toe artist.
' Terry and Richarda are out of the game
I entirely except aa spectators, but Moffat
. Still conches occasionally.
Heffelflnger and Jesse Ttlgga were rival
guards for several years, the one at Yale
and the other at Princeton, and both were
In the top notch division. Other great
players at or about that time were Bum
cClung. the fast dodging halfback; GUI.
tha tackle; Pa Corbfn. the center, and
, Wally Winter, tackle. They were all Yale
men. Harry Beecher, alao of Yale, waa one
of the best quarterbacks that ever played,
, lie being a star In tha lata '80.
Another great player who achieved hla
j fame at Yale waa Frank Butterworth. who
played in tha early "90a he was In the
class of "95. Butterworth was a fine kicker
nd ground gainer, a man born to the game,
aa were all those mentioned here. On
tha same team with Butterworth waa Frank
Hlnkey, the greatest end rush of all time,
an unerring tackier, who had the foot ball
instinct to a high degree. From hla fresh
man to hla aenlor year. Inclusive. Hlnkey

was in a olaaa by himself as an end. Ha

Papa Bill Hears from Book Franks in a
Boundabotit Fashion,
'SCOREBOARD THE GREAT PROBLEM NOW
.Pinochle Experts and Some Base Ball
Authorities Called Into Consnlta
tloa aa to How It Should
Ba Arranged.
Almost.
Papa, Bill has heard from Buck Francks.
He sent the elusive Buckeiino a registered
letter containing a contract for 1907,
and has received the postofflce, receipt
for the same. That Is almost Isn't ItT
But it Isn't Buck that Is keeping Papa BUI
awake these nights. It Is the score board.
Now, to any one who has not given the
subject much thought, a score board would
seem an easy proposition. But It isn't
Just a place to hang up number and
ciphers might be arranged easily. But that
Is not the thing your Pa wants on his
pasture next summer. He is after a score
board that mean something. In addition
to showing the number of runs made in
each Inning played by all the leagues in
the country, he wants to show the local
game so that It will agree with the
score card kept by each of the fans.
This what Is worrying him. Every
patron of the grandstand at least
keeps track of the game on a tab as
It goes along, and out In the bleachers
they scorn such thlnas as pencil and paper
and keep the record of plays In their heads,
emptying them of everything else so as to
have room. If the paper the next morning
doe not tally with their recollection, why,
the paper la wrong. That Is the situation
Pa Is trying to meet. He has had Brother
Dave and Jerry and Joe figuring on the
matter on a pinochle basis, while Sandy
Grlswold and Bull Thomas have had the
matter undor thought for a number of
days. Out of all this mental capacity Pa
hopes to get something In the way of a
core board that will give the sweetest and
youngest thing In the grand stand all the
Information she desires about the game,
and keep the blta and errors according to
tha count of tha most seasoned bleacherlte,
and to explain to Inquirers why one man
Is kept on tha pay roll and another Is lot
go. This score board will be tha pride of
lila Ufa wlien It la completed. By tha way,
Pa has about completed a deal with Char
ley Murphy of Chicago whereby he will
get a trio of pitchers from tha Cub stafT.
and thia will aurely put him In right.
Around the circuit they are sitting up
and taking dua notice of what la going
on In the world, and the prospects are fine
for the most auspicious season In tha his
tory of the Western league. The harmony
Session over at Chicago seems to have
pushed the clouds sll away and now there
Is nothing to do but await the call of time.
The list of youngsters announced last week
by Omaha has madu tho local fans prick
tip their ears In anticipation of the rail to
"Flay ball!" and each of the real buga Is
waiting now as he never did before the
trial of tha kids.
Buck Francka may go to tha new outlaw
league which Dugdale and Lucas are try
ing to frame up In the Pacific northwest.
Just what ha intends to do Is not as yet
Indicated, but ha Isn't showing any great
anxiety to coma to Omaha to play aecond

Rrlhk Thorne succeodrd Hlnkey aa cap
tain of the Yale eleven and waa the best
halfback of hla aenlor year. Ha waa big,
trim built and powerful, a mighty line
breaker and splendid defensive player.
Hla run from a fake kick against Princeton
at Manhattan field In 1915 was one of the
most thrilling things In the history of the
tarns and prompted Richard Harding Davis
to refer to Thorne thua: "Soma men play
foot ball and aome make foot ball history.
Captain Thorne belongs to the clans that
makes foot ball history." Tale's next
great player waa Gordon Brown, guard for
four years, an All-American selection and
captain of the 19no team that mads tha
biggest total scores against Harvard and
Princeton of any team. Princeton was
beaten 29 to S and Harvard 28 to 0.
Brown was a giant in stature, rather
slim In build, but like Heffelflnger, rangy
and fast He waa taller even than HefT,
though not so rugged. Yale has had three
guards who were pre-eminent in their po
sition. Herfelflnger waa one. Brown an
other and Glass the third. Glasa waa a
more recent product than tha others, but
quite In their class. On the same team
with Glaaa waa one of tha best center
foot ball haa had, the aame being Holt
and a great player. George Chadwlck,
captain of the 1902 team, of which Glasa
was one. waa a great player, greater in
reality than he generally got credit for
being, for there waa nothing whatever
showy In his work. Nevertheless he was
a fine halfback In all respects and abso
lutely reliable.
More recent players of greatness at Yale
were Foster Rockwell, the quarterback of
the '0J, '0J and '04 team, and Tom Bhevlin,
end for four years and captain of the 'OB
team. Shevlln waa a whirlwind, the em
bodiment of speed and power. Uke the
other great ones, tha more Important tha
game the better ha played. Yale had a
player under the new rulea who ranks with
hla illustrious predecessors. There can be
no doubt that there was at least one player
under the reformed code who had all the
qualifications of foot ball greatness, and
that was Bob Forbes, the All-American end
of 1906. With one exception he was the
most striking figure, by virtue of all-around
ability, service, dash and skill, of the sea
son of 1906. Tho one exception waa Ecker
sall of Chicago. These two were the best
players of tha past season and gx In the
great class.
Great Princeton players of the early days
were Snake Ames and Edgar Allen Poe in
the back field and Hector Cowan, the
tackle. Cowan was as valiant a pigskin
warrior as he was big, while Ames and
Poa were dashing and effective players,
whose fame will always live. .Reference
already haa been made to Rlggs, and after
him came Phil King, Old Nassau's most
noted quarterback. Billy Church, captain
of tho Invincible '96 team, waa a tackle of
potent strength and skill, the best Prince

more recent vogue, the holder each year
will be required to play through the tour

of tho experta entering to obtain sufficient
practice on the fast board playing before
tho beginning of tha tournament Arrange
ments have been made ao that entranta
may uae the courta Wednesday afternoons
and all day on Saturday, February 18, for

which It la believed will make It possible
for many of tha younger collegiate ex
perta to compete in the tournament and
aeveral of tha Columbia university experta,
notably the Intercollegiate champion, Rob
ert Le Roy, have signified their Intention
of competing, as have men from Tale and
Princeton and the University of Pennsyl
vania. Of the ranking players, Holcomb
Ward, tha bolder of the Indoor title in
1901; Beala C. Wright who was paired
with Raymond D. Little as runners up
In the championship doubles In 1904; Edwin
P. Fischer, the' runner up to the champion,
Wyllo C. Grant last year; Thomas C.
Trask. Frederick B. Alexander and others
have bespoken their entrance In both the
championship singles and doubles, In which
tha best two out of three vantage sets
will be played, except In the finals. In
which tha declaion will ba made by three
out of five sets. The tournament ia under
the direction of tha United Statea National
Lawn Tennla association, while the commit

Tha professional bicycle riders of Salt
Lake City are busy now with plana for
the building of a new bicycle track and
the Incorporation of a company to promote
bike racing upon a business basia, with
Uie rldera owning a good portion of the
atock and their friends controllng tha re
mainder. Thia proposition was advanced,
aa the rldera claim, that they may earn
tha money and draw a good attendance
at every meet and that they therefore feel
that they should have an interest in tha
track. Several men of promt nence In tha
cycling world have been signed for the
Salt Lake City aaucer track thia season,
among them being Bobby Walthour, F. A.
McFarland, Rutt of Germany; dlegard,
th Dane, and Frank Kramer.
It Is announced here that tha players
of the Pittsburg team will the coming
year be forced to eat on the European
plan while on the road. Instead of getting
the food In Job lota, aa haa been the custom
heretofore. Barney Dreyfus;, says that
players eat too much when they don't
seem to be paying for It themselves, and
In consequence do not keep In th best con
dition. They get out of condition carry
ing too much food about. Dreyfuss Is
quoted ss follows: "I think the players
eat altogether too much at the noonday
meals now. tint that there I any objec
tion to the price, but It gets them out of
condition. Now, my Idea for next year
la that the players be put up at soma good
European hotel and allowed to feed them
selves. Give them $3 per day for food,
which will be aa much as most of them
will waat to spend and a lot mor than
some of them will spend, I am satisfied.
When a hungry ball player falls down
before a menu card at an American hotel
and knows he can eat everything on that
card he Is likely to eat more than he
should, especially If he Is golng to play
ball that day. Our Idea Is an experiment
If It don't bring good results we will return
to the old style."
Numerous new base ball records were
hung up Vdurlng th season. Her ar a

Arthur Po and Ralph Davi. both ends,
were other Princeton heroes of th chalked
field.
. Holflen, who played halfback at Harvard
In 'KS, was a mighty player, as was Lewis,
the center, who came later. No greater
tackle ever sported canvas than Marshall
Newell, who was another four-term man
and made the All-American team every
season. Newell was short and broad in
build, atrong, reeolute and a born foot ball
player. He waa a factor of tremendous
Importance In the Harvard line. He was
playing at the same time that Bert Waters
was. Water played guard, tackle and
halfback and was great In all three.
Charles Daly, one of the most gifted of
quarterbacks, was a Harvard product.
So was Dave Campbell, captain of the team
that beat Tale In 190L Campbell was
end on that team, and the best end Harvard
ever has had. George Brooke, the full
back and kicker; Wharton, tha guard;
Hare, guard, who was such a battering
ram In the guards bock formation; Bull,
Center; Stevenson, quarterback, and Gel
bert. end, were great players that the
I'nlversity of Pennsylvania has turned
out. Osgood, the wonderful halfback,
whose superior as a fast dodging runner
never existed, also played football nt Penn
sylvania, but started out at Cornell. He Is
really a Cornell product
The Carlisle Indians have furnished great
players in Hudson, the quarterback, and
Pierce, the guard. A great West Point
player of several seasons ago was Scales.
Scales ranks with the best as a tackle, and
had he been on a big college team he would
have been still more prominent. Tipton,
center of the Army eleven of 1304, was as
good a pivot man as ever played the posi
tion. Hubbard of Amherst, Barry of
Brown. Rlnehart guard at Lafayette:
Dunn, the Pennsylvania State center;
Wyckoff of Cornell and Weekes of Colum
bia ore players whose deeds on the gridiron
entitle them to be classified as great. There
are men now In college who bid fair to land
In the great class before they get through.
Among them are Jones of Tale. Dillon of
Princeton, Thompson of Cornell, Burr of
Harvard and Dague of Annapolis.
In the West besides Eckersall the two
greatest football players were Heston and
Snow of Michigan. Heston was a toronnrin
as a ground gainer and tireless, while Nell
Snow was an end quite worthy to rank with
Campbell, Shevlln, Davis and even with
peerless Hlnkey. He was Just the kind of
man who would have been suited to the
advanced requirements of the new game
and Its additional demand for alertness In
an end.

CATARRH
AND SYSTEM DISORDERED ,
Catarrh U not merely aa inflammation of the tissues of the head and
throat, as the symptoms of ringing noises in the ears, mucus dropping back'
into the throat, continual hawking and spitting, etc., would seem to indicate;'
it is a blood disease in which the entire circulation and the greater part of tho
system are involved. Catarrh is due to the presence of an excess of uric acid
iu the blood. The Liver, Kidneys and Bowels frequently become torpid and
dull in their action, and instead of carrying off the refuse and waste of thej
body, leave it to sour and form uric acid in the system. This is taken up byj
the blood and through its circulation distributed to all parts of the system.)

other disgusting and disagreeable symptoms of Catarrh. As the blood goes to
all parts of the body the catarrhal poison affects all parts of the system. The

It I estimated that from seventy-flv to 100'
five-men teams will take part In th touma-'

divided up Into three great geographical)
sections, with the Western Bowling con-'

wet of th Missouri river and likely to
Invade the American Bowling congress'
territory as far east as the Mississippi.
With this condition of affairs existing It
can readily be seen that the tournament to
ba held in Denver will have the same bear
ing upon deciding ths national champion
ships as that of the Bt Louis or Atlantlo
City tourneys. The first annual tourney
of the Western Bowling congress was held
at Salt Lake City last march and proved a
grand success. The strict tournament rules '
of th congress, which ar rigidly enforced,
provide that all entry money shall revert
to the prize fund and be returned to tho
bowlers in prizes and all prizes shall be
paid in full within twenty-four hours after
th close of tha levent In which they ar
won. All bowlers west of the Mississippi
river are eligible to compete In the Western
Bowling congress tourneys, for the big
purses and the western championship,
which honor will place them In th limelight
