LINCOLN. Sept. 12. (Speclal.)-The cur
tain will be rung iip on the 1908 foot ball
season at Kebraaka Tuesday afternoon
when a squad of husky Cornhuskers will
cavort at Antelope park tinder the direction
of "King'' Cote In the Initial practice of
the iall. On Ita flrat appearance the aquad
will not be large and will be made up
practically of only the eligible veterana of
the .1907 eleven and aome members of laat
year" a freshman Ram. But before the
end 'of the week It will be augumented by
the addition of many likely candldatea, and
ia expected to number between forty and
fifty aeplranta then. By the time of the
Fen A came, September 'M, there will prob
ably be 100 men In foot ball unlforma. The
coming week la the time Bet for the regis
tration of students at the state school,
and as fast aa the promising Cornhusker
foot ball men get entered for their studies
they! will ba rushed out to work under the
coaches.
"King" Cole, who la now In the east, haa
written that he will be here Tuesday morn
ing and ready to take charge of the squad
that' afternoon. He spent a great deal of
time this' summer studying the ltns rules
and getting up new plays to be used by
Ma pupils this fall. The forward pass re
ceived much of his attention, for "King"
Cole, although he was slow last season to
adopt best plays best suited for the "de
bru tallied" game, profited by the experi
ence of the year and by the close of the
season, on Thanksgiving day, had decided
to abandon the old style foot ball and be
. come a convert to the reformed game.
What he had not learned regarding the
forward pass before Thanksgiving he was
taught on that day In the decisive defeat
administered his Missouri Valley cham
pion by. 8t. Louis. Coach Cole realises
now, as Coaches Cochema and Stagg did
early last fall, that under the revised rules
an eleven must use a highly-developed for
ward pass or else defeat Is Inevitable In
a contest In which the two teama are the
equala of each other In weight and kicking..
New Stylo of Forward Pans.
Tha Nebraska coach will come to Lin
coln with some new styles of the forward
pass, thought out along his own lines, and
among tha first plays given the Cornhusk
ers will . be work with the pasa, and
throughout the fall they will be drilled to
as near perfection In ita use aa one sea
son's practice can put an apt bunch of
gridiron warriors. Coach Cochems of St.
Louis university had the) pass developed
to the highest point of any coach In the
west last year, and the Cornhuskers 'were
helpless when It was used against them
on Thanksgiving day by tha Mound City
players. King Cole and his pupils at that
time saw the possibilities of the pass aaw
the necessity of it In the modern game
and decided that this fall would find Ne
braska skilled and accurate In tha use of
the 1907 Innovation.
Good news was received at the athletic
headquarters of the state school thla week
In the announcement that three 'former
foot .ball men who were not in school laat
year would return this fall and don mole
skins. None of tha trio ever made the
'varsity, but all of them were doped to win
the coveted foot fall "N" before the close
of their college course. The three players
ere Bobby Carroll, Arnold and Chauner.
Carroll la considered the most valuable
of the three. ' In the fall of 1906 he played
half back on the second eleven, where his
work wss described aa lightning fast He
was a terrific line plunger and found holes
In the defense of the first team with the
aptitude of a veteran. Chauner was half
back on the freshman team in 1906 and
Arnold played on the first year team a
season later at that position. Both of them
displayed exceptional ability and clinched
places on their respective elevens early in
4 ha season. The return of the trio will
greatly atrengthen the Cornhusker aquad
thla fall.
feekt aad Collins Abaeat
With the glad tidlnga of tha coming of
the recruits to the Nebraska ranks came
depressing rumore to the effect that two
k tnemhara of laat vear'a team had been forced
to change .their plana and would not re
turn to'the university this fall. Cooke
and Collins are tha two men- mentioned
as not likely to come back. No direct word
has been received from either of these men
about their Intention to be absent from the
squad, but some of their friends who were
In the rlty this week said that the two
Cornhuskers had secured good positions,
which they 'did not feel like giving them up
for a year's schooling, and had decided to
atlck to work. These fnlends were aure
that the two veterana would not be regis
tered in school thla fall.
The reports about Collins and Cooke came
s a great surprise to Manager Eager, for
only a few weeks ago he- had been told by
both of them that they would be In the
game again thla fall. At that time they
werf planning to return and werea enthusi
astic about the proeiiects for a champion
ship season. Collins waa with the squad
'at Lead, 8. I., all summer getting Into
nape to do brilliant work at center on the
Nebraska eleven, and waa making all prep
arations to be on hand for the opening of
practice. Cooke waa In Lincoln the latter
part of August and announced he would
Ka rmAv tn don' the moleskins at the first
call of the coach. The decision of these
two Cornhuskers not to play foot ball thla
t fall la underatood to have been made within
the laat ten days. Collins, It is said, will
atay at Lead, where he has a good posi
tion with a mining company, while Cooke
will go Into business In the western part
of thla slate. '
Tlie loaa of these piayera would leave four
t placea to ba filled on the 19U1 eleven by
new' man. These would ba center and
quarter filled by Collins and Cooke reapec
tlvery laat fall; left tackle played by
Matters, and left half held down by Cap
tain Welter. Matters and Weller are In
- eligible thla year, the former having taken
bia degree and Jhe latter having played
tha alloted number of years of college foot
ball.

Work.
t'nder the broiling rays of a summer aun
the opening of the foot ball season was
ushered In at Crelghton unlveraity Thurs
day In the presence of an enthusiastic
gathering of atudenta, leavened by a few
of tha ancient alumni who had played the
game In their day.
No ceremonies attended tha christening
of the new athletic field upon which many
a lively - scrimmage will sooa be held. It
was business from start to finish.
Under' tha direction of Coachea Kenney
and Schneider only a few gentle antics
were permitted. The ball waa punted nnd
caught, a few forward pasaea flourished
and the evening closed with a few weary
sprlnta around an Imaginary track. Foot
ball assumed a more serious aspect Fri
day. The squad was divided and -Coach
Kenney began to hammer at the line, and
Coach Schneider took under hla protecting
wing all tha aaplranta for the back field
positions. The process of formation deemed
necessary o make ' a player was again
eagerly watched by the old boys.
Never a Batter Sejaad.
. Tha material la abundant and already
opinions have been advanced that a more
likely aquad of players never graced a grid
Iron In Omaha. The coaches are more than
pleased with the eagerness of the many
candidates. With the aaslstanca of Cap
tain Bob Maglrl they have' levied heavily
on all the departments, and from each,
but especially from tha medical and arts,
haa valuable material been obtained. The
medical haa produced about twenty-two
seasoned players, while tha department of
arte haa uncorked a goodly aupply of green
beef.
Many of the old men are back and acme
of the reliable veterans are soon expected
to report for practice. Prominent itrnong
tha latter la Morganthaler, wbo proved his
worth at St. Louis last year and upon
whom the coaches are depending to rull
off aeveral new "open work" plays. Each
old man of laat year's squad la striving to
make good, and since so many have re
turned a fair nucleua la had around which
a championship team oan ba built with the
aid of green and unknown material at
hand,
Mavglrl la Promlaent.
Captain' Bob Maglrl of well known
ability stands oat prominently among the
old men; ha will work out this year for
end or half back. Walter Bloedorhn, who
made tha All-Nebraska team of last year,
is back at his old position. Hornek and
Donovan are again working out for halves.
(Stevens and Btratton, the famous ends of
laat seaaon, are ahowlng tha new comers
how to get down tha field. Some five or six
new men, among them Douchy of Amep,
Lovelady and Oallagher of Georgetown
are fast demonstrating that end will be a
well fought position this year. Two new
full backs, Klllman and Bakule have
joined the aquad. The latter Is well known
at St. Mary's, Kan., for his long distance
punting and" fine forward passing. The
center position haa aeveral candldatea. ' The i
moat prominent seems to ba GUllspie, who
weighs the modest sum of 197 solid pounds.
Young is a close second with 188 to his
credit. At tackles, Brennan of four years'
high school experience and 8iercka, an
inexperlencedN player, yet fast and heavy,
will make good and fill the place left
vacant by Lamphler'a graduation. Leo
Hlnnlfin, Riley and Remander are working
out for quarter back and although they
have a hard task before them, bid fair to
fill "Chuck" Brome's boot. Joa Lynch,
who made the All-Minnesota team, Just fits
naturally Into a guard position. Frank
Motrin looks good for half back as a run
ning mate for Welch, who Is to report
Monday.
New Mea Show Well,
able Impression and tha coaches' quick eyes
are kept busy noting all the fine points of
the different men. As It is their Intention
to make everyone fight for his position on
tha team, something will.be doing on the
campus this fall. At present full thirty
six piayera have reported and the supply
Is by no means exhausted. Each evening
brings a few more and tha wish of the
coaches bid fair to be realised, for they
are anxious to carry a triple team during
the entire season.
Tha weather at present Is proving the
only adverse element and as soon aa the
temperature reduces Itself, real ' atrenuoua
work will begin. Things look bright for
a winning team and the prospects all Indi
cate a successful aeason at Crelghton this
coming year.

look for the Yale foot ball team la not
of the brlghest, for the Ells have suf
fered considerably through graduation,
and the first practica la to begin on Sep
tember 17, with Coaches " Biglow and Tad
Jones rather undetermined aa to the props
and malnstsys of their team. Tad Jones,
quarterback, who' waa the selection of
many critics for that position on the ail
American team; Biglow and Paige, tackles;
Howard Jones and Alcott, enda, and Cong
den, center, with his substitute, Dunbar,
are all out of the game through gradua
tion and that leaves a big hole for the
coaches to fill.
Captala Bobby Burch of the Yale foot
ball team haa returned to his home in
Cincinnati after spending the summer in
Michigan, and la now laying his plans
for the foot ball campaign soon to open.
Tha practice of the Yale aquad will begin
on September 17. ten daya before college
opens, and in that time, before acholaatic
duties interfere, Burch expects to drill
his recruits Into form that will warrant
steady practice In the finer points of the
game when the practice time is more Urn
Ited. He has Just held a consultation with
Tad Jonea. who la to assist In coaching
tha Eli eleven thla fall. Burch la atlll
strongly In favor of the forward pass as
preferred above the drop kick, aa ha con
alders it the moat scientific play in foot
ball, and tha Yale team will be taught the
uae of thla play, even further than they
were laat fall.

walked off with the long end of the score
because of "Prof. Dusty Rhodes," In a

Glvea a Tost.
NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-The fall meeting
of the Brooklyn Jockey club, which begins
at Gravesend on Monday next, la likely
to he a rocord breaker In many ways. In
the first place Philip J. Dwyer haa de
clared himself as a dlaciple of the -Bla-choff
and Gaynor decisions, which permits
limited betting on certain conditions. Mr,
Dwyer will devote his energies to see that
the law la respected on thisa line. TMb
change from the conditions tn vogue at
Sheepshead will be moat welcome, for
though there are numbers of people who
still like to attend races where no betting
Is permissible, there are countless others
who would rather vi:w racing under
Dwyer's Interpretation of the law, and
will prove this by Iwlng on hand when the
bugle aounda at Gruvesend.

non's laat double with men on second and
third decided the result of today's sleepy
encounter. Corbett and Biersdorfer pitched
much the same kind of a game, but the
support given to the Grizzlies' twirler was
much the superior. Des Moines had many
opportunities to score due to the hard bat
ting of Fltxpattick and Dwyer who fol
lows him In the batting order, but the re
mainder of the Hat could not get any one
across the plate. Fltx Patrick's catch off

PLAYING ON A JOKE BALL FIELD
Championship Gamea Derided oa a
Mlalatara Diamond.
It just so happened that the schedule of
the Western league brought the contenders
for the pennant together for the last games
of the season, and that who haa won thu
pennant cannot be told until after the sun
goes down on the final game today. ' Thla
condition could not possibly have been
foreseen when the schedule was arranged,
but It haa added great Interest to the pro
ceedings. The one regrettable feature is
that the decldifig contests are being played
on a field that is entirely too small for a
baae ball park. This gives the home team
an advantage that cannot be underrated.
The Sioux City players have practiced all
summer at hitting the ball over one or
the other of the short field fences, hits
that would be sure out on a ball field
such aa Omaha's going for two-baggers
and thus swelling the averages of the
Duosfllnga. Visiting piayera, schooled iu
"keeping them on tha ground," cannot
readily acquire the knack of hitting tho
ball over the short fence, and thus are
placed at a great disadvantage. The eight
two-baggers charged against Ragan In the
Friday game would probably have been
eight outa If they had been knocked. In the
air at Omaha. This condition takes much
of the real sporting pleaaure out of tha
game. It aeems too bad that tha great
gam baa to ever be plajwd ta
J the game In Minneapolis feeler da.
