Exraralaa This Year.
Manager Eager definitely announced yea
lerday that there would be no excurelon
toMlnneapolIt this year, which will mean
that the team will Invade the Gophers'
camp practically without rooters. Mr.
Ksgef broached the matter of an excursion
to several railroad, but received no en
rouragement In the way of special ratea
and let tha matter drop. Foot ball excur
sions to Mlnnoapolia liave been ao fre
quent, he says, that their lure haa faded,
making them a proposition not overly at
tractive to the railroads and not particu
larly Inviting to supporters of 'tha team.
Strong efforts will be made, however, to
secure special accommodations for rooters
on the trip to Lawrence for the Kansas
game November 0. The last excursion to
the home of the Gophers was run on the
.... .,.,,. i "T-- - -"- I
memorable occasion of the S-0 game.wrucn .
resulted In the breach In relations between
Kansas and Nebraska. The defeat of Ne
brarka at the hands of the Jayhawkers
last year liaa aroused unusual Interest in
Uils year s game, and It Is expected that
leveral hundred Nebraska rooters will want
to be on the spot to witness the humilia
tion of Nebraska's old rival.
Freshmen for Thankrirla.
Manager Eager is endeavoring to furnish
Thanksgiving foot ball for Lincoln, despite
the fact that the cornhuskere are billed
to play In Bt. Louis that day. A game to
be played today was arranged for tha
freshman team, at Mankato, Kan.. Novem
ber the first year men will play at Peru,
and other gamea are being sought for other
dates during the season. It 1 Mr. Eager'a
opinion that on account of the fact that a
Thanksgiving game bas come to be con
sidered almost a necessity In Lincoln, a
contest between the freshmen and some
other team of standing might be made a
Paying proposition. A game between the
Kansas and NebrAska freshmen on turkey
day has been suggested, and has mot the
approval of the Nebraska manager, al
though he has had no opportunity to
broach the matter yet to the Jayhawker
management. On account of the rule by
which freshmen are prohibited from play
ing on. the 'varsity team, the first year
aggregation this season Is a formidable
one, and has given the veterans many a
hard tussle in practice. Conditions are
said to be similar at Kansas, and It la be
lieved that the proposed game Thanksgiving
would be a hard-fought affair. If arranged,
it would also have the effect of Inducing
freshmen who might otherwise desert be
fore the end of the season, to remain In
training, thereby giving the regulars a
team of strength to practice against.
The refusal of Kansas to start training
this season till the opening of the school
year, on account of the decrees or the
"Missouri Valley conference," organized
last year, aroused some surprise at ' Ne
braska, the formation of the conference
having been well-nigh forgotten. Some In
terest It being evinced at to just what
part the organisation Is to play In west
ern foot ball thla fall. It was the general
belief hero last year that the conference
wat formed chiefly for the purpose of
controlling Nebraska, and that the
declination of the latter to accept a -bid
to come In would result in the failure of
the venture. (Nothing hat been heard
concerning Its doings this fall except for
the action of the Jayhawkers. Officers of
the Nebraska athletic board vow they
know nothing about the organization, save
what transpired last year. Apparently
Nebraska carts no more about entorlng
the conference than It did when- the
organisation was effected.

MICHIGAN ROUND TO FORM
First Game with Case Given Over to
Trying New Flays,
TOST KEEPS ALL MEN HUSTLINU
Men Are Tried In YarUtaa Ponltlons
4 All Arc Amlea to l.rara
Final Makeup of the
' Taasa.
ANN ARBOR, Mich.. Oct. 12. (Special.)
The Caso came, although the Tost ma
chine succeeded In scoring only nine points,
was not altogether discoursing to the sup
porters of the Yellow and Blue, and proB
pocta have been brightening since. The Caae
game wus played ag&ltist a heavy, aggres
sive, well-coached team, and Michigan had
three substitutes in the line. It was evi
dent from the first half, during which Mich
igan walked all over the field, but through
slowness and tumbles was unable to score,
that Case probably would not be dangerous
In the second, so Yost gave out instruc
tions for the new plays to be tried. Con
.equently precarious forward paaaes and
' . . .. ,.
uncertain tricks took up the time.
Hurry Up Yost't famous "go fast" char
acteristics have only lately begun to show
up In the team. In the Caae game tome
plays were pulled off with a slowness that
was tantalizing to tho spectators and wear
ing on the players. Borne signals had to be
repeated a number of times before the
team would get Into position to execute
them.
Jn Wednesday's practice game with the
Reservea things went off with more snap
and dash than ever before. In two snort
halves the 'varsity made tlx touchdowns,
although the Reserves are well coached and
contain several star ineligible. The "go
fast" principle depends to a great extent
upon the speed and accuracy of the quarter
back, but for that position there is even
more abundant material than was at first
hoped for. Wasmund and Miller were
considered at first the chief candidates, but
during the last week Yost has been play
ing Miller at end. Harry Hammond is
taking care of the other end and Casey has
been moved Into the tackle position. But
thla doet not leave Wasinund at the un
disputed holder of the quarterback's Job.
In the meantime Sullivan, who already
wears a two-season base ball "M.," haa en
tered the field. Sullivan la at ture ana rait
at Wasmund and teems to lack nothing but
experience. In addition to his playing abll
Ity he hat several other qualifications at a
team leader. A continual flow or winy
slangy comment keeps hit men cheered and
their mlndt oft the knocke they are recetv
ln As aoon as the ball la out Of hit
hatida he commences to talk to the runner
and hit quick eye helpt that struggling
plunger to pick holet in the line befo'e
him.
Fnll Back Still Unsettled.
Jack Loell and Allerdlce are etill fight,
in for a Place at full back. Rheinschlld
who seemed for. a time to ba threatening
Loell' s chjences, has been definitely placed
at tackltf, and it Is most probable that
he will ttay there. Allerdlce, however,
having recovered from hit broken nose. It
hack In the tame and playing hard. Hit
garnet against the tcrubs have been con
intent whenever he has been tried and
he hat considerable ability as a kicker.
For kickers, however; there will not be
much lock, as Hammond. Rumneyand
Lehi' can all twlng their brogant agtihtat
the ball effectively, and "Octy" Graham
can make all the placement kicks neces
sary. But at far at Allcnrdlce It concerned,
if he It put In at full back. Jack Loelf
will probably go Into the line. He It
needed there and It wat at tackle that he
made hit reputation; In 190. , -
A Fvr Am 'OrtaJit 'nf Pincers'
The only men whd' eeer.v sure 'of their
positions art Harry Hamm6nd, "Germany"
Bchult, . "Octy" Graham and Captain
Magoffin. Hammond la now' ln fine condi
tion and will be in the Saturday game
with the Michigan Agricultural college.
Hit work at end Improves each year and
at thla will be his third teason, he Is one
man In Whom the foot ball fans have con
fidence. Graham Is one of the best lines
men in the game and for two whole tea-'
sons he has held hit tide of the center
Impenetrable. This year, ' Ms kicking
ability makes him still more valuable.
"Bchult" la, of course, Indispensable, and
Magoffin it a typical half back. Mugoffln
la rapldiy recovering from a "charley
horte" which wat developed last week In
a practice game. He collided with Prl
meau, a 300-pound scrub, and suffered a
badly sprained thigh. Although this kept
him out of the game, It is toon expected
to yield to treatment.
Saturday'! game with the Michigan
"Agglea" waa not expected to be much
of a fight. It la hoed, however, that
the full strength of the squad might be
In place so that some accurate Idea might
ne gained or Mlchigan'a strength.' The
Case game was expected to perform that
function, but unfortunate accidents pre
vented it. The fans have been rather -expecting
an old-fashioned polnt-a-minute
ecore. The line-up waa not known until
the day of the game.
COLORADO IS ON EASY STREET
Xo H.rd Came Ahead Till Nebraska,
t'omea Alone.
BOULDER, Colo.. Oct. 12. (Special.)
Dcner university, the hardest opponent of
Colorado before Nebraska is met on Octo
ber 2G, met and beaten by a gratifying
score, the coaches of the eleven are strain
ing every netve to put the men In condi
tion for the coming contest at Lincoln, by
far the hardest and largest game on Colo
raK't fhciJule. Two gamea will be played
before that time one with the alumni. In
which both coachea and four captalna will
lint up nca'nst the 'varsity, and will uae
their advanced krew ledge of the game to
plrk out the flaws In the defense and of

cultural college the Saturday previous to
thr Nebraska game. Both of these games
w'.il furniMh the stllTest kind of practice for
the team, and the Aggie game will b
nt-arlv as hard at the one with Denver.
The I t-nver game brought out the fact
that the Folsom style of defensive that was
c efTeciivo In the east will be again em
ployed this year, though an entirely new
offensive style has been adopted. The do
fenalve plav It simple blocking, with the
line boring tbu.ugh for the runner and the
endt pitying out tor forward passes, end
runs or tricks. The wisdom of thit ttyle
of play wit so-n In the Denver game, whon
the Methodistt only made one forward paw
good, and that for five yards. Furthermore
no titcks vtro pulled off with success, the
plays being Interpreted before getting lit
motion. On offenwive the new style Is hard,
low tackling, with the line men bucking as
t unit, and with the line bucks low tnd
aided by tpttndid Interference. This play
has been made possible by the use of the
three machines employed by Folsom the
bucking machine, the canvas charging strap
for the bucks and the heavy line bucking

HARVARD SETS A PRECEDENT
Open Prnctjor on the Ball Flel the
Hal.
BOSTON. Mass., Oct. ll-Harvtrd unl-
ertlty it this year tetting a foot ball prec
edent which every institution In the coun
try could .adopt with great advantage to
the morals of Intercollegiate athleUct.
With tho beginning of practice, Joshua
Crane, the new head coacn, na. .n..uu..-
that, with the exception or a row oay. u--
foro the Yalo game, he will have no secret
oractice on Soldiers field.
This It tuch a radical departure irom me
methods of former Cotch Reld that It haa
produced a mild aentatlon at Cambridge ,
and elsewhere. It will do recanea in.v
fall Reid ordered to much tecret' practice
the ttudent body waa moved to protest
against the shutting of the gatet by a
monster petition. In former yeart the ttu
dentt had been accustomed to Journey down
to the field in tho afternoon to watch the
team at work, and to learn and rehearse
new. cheers. These open pr-cUcta were a
- " r
versify patriotism, and the students re
belled when they found rne gates locked.
Of course, it should be tald In Justification
of secret practice last fall, that the radical
changes In the rules of the game necessl-
tated almost a brand new coaching system.
It was, therefore, only natural that one
coach obteeted to furnishing Ideas J end
iu iuii.mb -
play, for hi. rivals, tinder the clrcum-
. ances the s uden a m-yhay. been a
bit too hasty in criticising- Reld At th.
same time, however there Is no doubt that
me ennvun : "''" -cv" k--
tice also overdid things. To prove that ro
much secret practice as Harvard had was,
not essential. It Is only necessary to ob-,
sen what Yale did. The Ells made more !
. . , i. i . a .... , 1V,.
of trick playt tnd the new game than any
of the big universities, yet Yale had hardly '
half as much tecret practice at Harvard.
The Yale management hat a very sensible
wty of conducting Itt tecret practice. I
When thla It necessary, the Yale manage-!
ment confinet It to the first thirty minute. '
or so of practice, and then throws the
gates open to the' public. The university
of Pennsylvania causes the announcement
to be made to the ttudent. at the beginning
of the week, on what day. there will be
secret practice, and on all other days the .
I
gates are opeu.
The action of Harvard thit fall It
dence that there la to be lest tecret prac

ning to realize that all thit secrecy is not a
good thing for the ethics of the sport.

S0ANE ENDS HARD PRACTICE

Get. Ready for Grand Island Giro
hjr Mach Endeavor.
CRETE. Neb., Oct. 13. (Special.) With
tha OraJid Island game in view Coach
Fuhrer hat tent the Tigert through one
of the hardest woeka of practlco so far
tills season. No new formations or plays
were taught the team during the last
week, but Instead the time wis taken up
1th the new men and perfecting the
playa already learned. In addition to the
second back field for the 'varsity there is
also a second set of ends. South and Tully
have been given repeated trials at the
wing positions, and it. now looks at though
they were settled upon aa being the reserve
ends. They are both fierce tacklera and
get down well on punta. At substitute
line men. Gray, Swanson and Stewart are
till on the reserve list. Swanson lined
up at center On the 'varsity for the first
tiino Thursday night and in signal prac
tice and In scrimmages did tome mighty
good work in breaking through. With all
thla reserve material, at least twenty men
will be tried out In tbe Grand Island game,
which haa been transferred from tho Sat
urday date, as previously announced, until
Monday, October 14.
Orand Island waa at one time the leader
In college foot ball In the atate, but of
recent yeart there has been a big slump
at the Baptist Institution. A nervy bunch
hat alwaya represented the Island achool,
and Doane will -take no chancel, anticipat
ing that the game will be no snap. Keep
ing this In mind, the Doane coach hat
sent hit men through the Individual funda

signal practices lasting three-quarters of
an hour, with no letup In tht pace. Fol
lowing the signal work comet the scrim

NEW HAVEN. Conn..Oct. 12. The Yale
X'niversity Athletic association etpects to
deal a knockout blow to foot ball ticket
speculation and apcculators here thla fall
If the proponed ordinance now being con
tidered by the Board of Aldermen is
adopted by that body. The proposed ordi
nance prohibits the offering or selling of
tickets for athletic contests and other
forma of amusemeut at more than their
original selling price and further prohibits
such selling on the streets or other public
places of the city. It hat been drawn with
the idea of doing away with ticket specu
lation In all forms and covert foot ball
and b4se ball ganus as well as theater
performances. The pvnalty for violations
ts a fine of from $10 to Ihm. and the wil
ing of each ticket constitutes a separate

NEW YORK. Oct. 12-AlthoiiRh it is a

NATURE FAKING ABOUT BRUIN
AH Bear Stories Tiot True, If A. B.
Jones la Hlght.
HELENA. Mont., Oct. 12. With the re
turn of the hunting season reappear the
ttorlet of huntert Who narrowly escape be
ing killed by enraged bears. This year A.
B. Jones of Chouteau, one of the beat
guides In the state and an old-time hunter,
rlset to protett.
"I have hunted and killed a great inuny
bean In my time," said Mr. Jonea, "and
I sty without the slightest hesitation that
a bear in the woods, whether black bear
or gristly, whether wounded or not, will
get away from a hunter every time if It
can. At with all other game ' antmala
found In the Rocky mountatna, the Instinct
uppermost In the bear when coming In
contact with man It that of flight. It Is
naturally afraid of man.
"Many believe that If a bear sees you
In the wood. It will make for you at once,
and your only chance to aave your life la
to thoot or climb a tree. Thit It ridiculous.
Othert admit that a bear will take to
flight unleat molested, but hold that It will
turn upon a hunter when wounded.
"Thit It a mistake. At I said before, a
bear will get away every time If It can, no
matter how badly wounded.
"If to badly wounded that it thinkt "It
cannot get away, an old grlxxly will some
times turn upon a hunter and fight, and
fight hard, but many other game animals
In the mountains will' do the same thing.
A bull elk is fully as dangerous aa a bear
under like circumstances. The old buck
dtr, the mountain billygoat and other
mountain animals will fight under the tame
conditions.
"It It my opinion that most people who
get chewed up by bears and there aru
very few of them take too great chances
by going up to the animal after It it shot,
thinking that it la dead. Beart, like other
big game antmala, have wonderful recuper
ative powera. Hunter, have often taken
hf)m for when
d A woundp(, an)mB, flndimj m
alf
man
standing'over htm will attack the hunter.
"There la an old ti edition that a she bear
with cub. will Invariably attack a hunter
if he molests the cubs. I once ran on to a
she bear with two cubs In the woods.
While I waa killing the cuba the mother
took to her heeis, and I never did find Inr,
although I camped on her trail and hunted
for her two or three days.
"When yua alop to reason It out you can
know that beats ai not looking for man
kind to lunch on. li.-urs can smt-ll an al
mose Incredibl.t dlktance. and If tuy were
lo.iking for hunters they would find them.
"It is teldmon that s hunter ever sees a
bear. It it becauxu the hear is busy lu p
Ing out of .his way.
"Many inexperienced hunters have tin
r.gined that bears they have wounded weie
endeavoring to attack tl.ern because tho
animals ran toward them. Ths fact of
the matter la that a bear It often bewild
ered upon receiving a gunshot wound and
does not know In which direction it is go

hunter. It Is as anxious to get out of his
way as the hunter Is to get out of tlw Uar'i

in the Adirondack this fall ompnratlvely
few hse b.-t n brought In. The efforts of
smu of the Parun.ic lake hunters have
been di leiited by physical ailment.
"I am not a success at still hunting."
declared a New Yorker who is at Bnranao
Inka for his health. "I wat walking
through the woods the other day when
this was brought very forcibly to my mind.
"I was ht the midst of Innumerable deer
runs and the signs oC deer were fresh. I
was constantly on the alert, proceeded
with ts little t.lse as posHlhle, and as the
leaves and debris on the ground were thor
oughly wet, I'thouKht that. I was doing
very well Indeed.
"But suddenly the old tickling ennte In
my throat and I coughed. I could not help
It. It ts my physical weakness, and that Is
why I am here.
"But tho Instant I coughed there whs a
crash and a whistle to the left of the trail
ahead of me. My coughing alarmed the
deer and It got out of the vicinity s
though a hound waa after It.
"Coughing at the right time, however,
onco saved my life. We were camping
down in the Pitchfork Pond country.
Antoine Storey, the guide, wss the man In
charga of the camp and Mrs. Storey was
doing the cooking.
"Nearly every day Antoine would take
one or two members of the party and still
hunt deer. Sometimes I went with the
boys." but on this particular day I remained
in camp until lite In the afternoon.
"It occurred to me thnt it would be
good exercise and a pleasant thing to take
a trail which had' often been pointed out
to me and go down to the Pitchfork Pond
landing and there meet Antoine to walk
in with him. I set out over the trail.
"It developed that this trail was one of
the hardest t ever walked o'er. It was
little used nnd the blackberry bushes had
grown to the height of my head. Tbe
briers caught In my clothlmr and tore
out the thread, while I struggled and
crashed along through them.
"I had not covered more than half of .the
distance when I began to wonder If I would
ever get out of It In tltno to Join Antoine, j
or If, in fact, I would ever get out without j
help. I knew that I waa making consider
able noise and dimly wondered how
closely my threshing through those briers
resembled the approach of a deer.
'When about ten feet from the end of

CHANGES' IN THE GOLF CODE
Commeut of an American Authority
on tbe Code.
BOSTON, Oct. 12. O. Herbert Windeler,
formerly president of the United States
Golf association, who has been making a
golfing tour of Scotland, England and
France, and has visited the courses it
Prestwlck, Troon, Marihanlsh. Machrle, J
Woking ana L,e xouquei, nat written a let
ter to a friend in this country regarding
the reform of the rules. Mr. Windeler wat '
a member of the rules committee with C. j
B. Macdonald and Walter J. Travis, which I
Interpreted for the United States the latest i
code Issued from St. Andrews, and Is now
president of the Massachusetts association.
The following excerpts are taken from hit
letter:
The vast expansion of the game In tho
United States and the vailed conditions
under which it is played havo made appar
ent there the necessity for some changes
in th present code, if it Is to remain the
one desired for universal use. We havo
not In Amrloa as yet either the traditions
or generations of golfers behind us that
you havo here to act aa our mentors and
fntn..rnrft .ml ronseouentlv a more care
ful study of the rules has to be made in I
our country oy any Deginners winning iu
play the game In the way It should be
played, thun is usually the caae, I find,
with beginners in this country.
A more simple code and one with some
few ciianges to bring it up to date and to
make it applicable to the game wherever
plaved, is what Is desired, and it Is hoped
the Koval and Ancient club will tske upon
itself the responsibility of furnishing the
golfers the world over with such. The task
may be difficult, but ought not to be more
than can be carried out successfully. To
my mind It would tcurcely require tha
same amount of skill or labor which has
hern expended at various times on tha
present somewhat complicated code.
The position of ucllnu: as legislators for
the world la one that perhaps St. Andrew's ,
hat -not sought; perhaps Is not to its lik
ing, but I can hardly believe it Is olio that
It will refuse to acept. 1 ne Maryietxine
Cricket club hat shown what can be done
for the world in the kindred sport of
cricket.
Of the many questions given on the gov
ernment of St. Andrews the one made by
Herbert Fowler of handing over to the
rules of golf committee the full control of
the game, as far as the laws are con
cerned, without further reference to a gen
eral meeting of the, club, appeals to mo
moat. The idea of Inviting representative,
of other unions or associations to serve
on It is sound theoretically, but 1 doubt
much whether it would be practicable.
Experience. hHS led me to believe that a
small committee, provided a careful selec
tion of its members be made, will accom
plish more than a larger and possibly more
representative one. Given that the men
who served on such a committee vers
fairly well acquainted with conditions rul
ing in both hemispheres, or, if not, would
b. willing to lend an ear to the various
suggestions which might emanate from dis
tricts olher than those which have the
good fortune to be located nortli of the
Tweed, and I am sure that the present
apparent cause for discontent would
quickly disappear and the game be found
to rest on a firmer foundation than ever.
Radical changes are not what are re
quired, as more often than rfot they do
more harm than good. A littlo less con
servatism, and possibly more attention to
the demands of the outside world. Is all
that Is required. In my mind, to make St.
Andrew's suoreme. and renuntivH am .,...
the golfing world over as It ounht to be i
and must ba If the game is to flourish In
in. way ii i. uesirea oy all who have its
ll uo Interest ul heart.

The Reliable Specialists
causes of success or failure
The difference between success and failure In life is due In trine out uf
every ten casea td lack of physical manhood. Your growth, your tren;th,.
your ability, your Intellectual or business capacity, your skill as a workmen in.
the usual business pursuits of life, your popularity with other human beinirs,
of either tex, Is all shaken and your future career blighted If your standard of
strength Is depleted. You can't be half a man physically and a whole man
otherwise. A chain la no stronger thun lta weakest link.
Upon possessing- the essential elements of manhood depends chiefly our
success In the commercial world and the perpetuity of our race. Intellectual
power and physical perfection cannot be measured In dollars and cents. It Is
a power and a privlleKe that should endure with a. man as lonr as life Itself,
tnd whenever It is impaired or suspended through Ignorance or neglect, na
ture will assert Itself and other bodily and mental functions weaken.
If you have violated nature's laws, you must pay the penalty, unless you
are again restored to health. By health Is implied that beautiful and har
monious blending; of the mental and physical forces, which contribute so much
to our happiness and success in every walk of life and the absence of which
Invariably handicaps us. Impedes our progress nnd niatnrlally accounts for our
failures, sometimes depriving men of a useful life of happiness and prosperity.
It is useless to worry about the past cause after the disease or weakness be
comes once established. The fact that tho trouble now exists makes it neces
sary Uiat there should bo no apathy, no delay, no deferring matters until later
