THK OMAHA SUNDAY I'.KK: MAIiCil U. they air with Manager Eager that no -ule mh be violated by playing an Inter olleglate mi In, Omaha II l vny prob able Couch William will be convinced that '.he Cornhuskers are riactit and a contract 'or holding th annual game In Omaha will ie made. Should the HI Klghf hoola hold, though. Hint It would be a violation of the .r.nferenre rule for Minnesota to play al Vinton street park Omaha mould not be deprived of a bin Cornhusker font ball game next fall. Tha Nebraaka athletic board haa decided to give the metropolla of this stale a good conleat each season and If It cannot be Minnesota tlds coming fall It will be noma other strong team. In caee the Minnesota game isnnot be played In Omaha an effort will be made to get the Oophera to come to IJ-iroln. al though they now are unwilling to agree to do that. With Minnesota scheduled for Un it!n, the Iowa game, now dated for the home city of the Cornhuskers, would be transferred to the Nebraska metropolis for October 23. Iowa la willing to play In Omaha amt would have no objection to a lisnster from Lincoln. It la quite likely, however. If the Gophers do not agree t Journey to Omaha that they will Insist on playing the Cornhuskers in Minneapolis. This would necessitate keep lug the Iowa game booked for Lincoln, and an effort would have to be made to get Ames to consent to go to the Ne braska niefropolls again. Aggie Mar Com Dark. At present the Aggies and Curnluiskeri are dated to meet at Ames on November 13. but Nebraska Is willing to transfer the contest to Omaha, even though Min nesota Is played there also. This contest with Nebraska, however. Is the only big game Ames has scheduled for homfc and tha Aggie management does not want, to take It away. The Nebraska management cannot Inaiat that the game be taken to Omaha, for the Cornhuskers are under contract to meet the Aggies In a return game for the one played In the Nebraska metropolla last fall. If It comes to a point where neither Minnesota nor Iowa can be played at Omaha the Cornhusker management will make a great effort to get the Agglea to consent to transfer their game to that city. Falling to get Ames to switch its game, the Nebraska manager will still have an alternative, which fart assures Omaha a game for next fall. It is lo play a Thanksgiving day game In the metropolis. Manager Ksger has been holding that date open on the Nebraska schedule until the rest of the contests are booked. If when all the ether dates on the schedule are filled he has been unable to place a game In Omaha he will book some strong team to meet the Cornhuskers In that city on turkey day. He has negotiated with two or three elevens for a Thanksgiving day game and any one of them is willing to sign up a contract to play In Omaha on that date. No further work can be done In draft ing the Nebraska schedule until. Minne sota decides whether It wants to play In Omaha or not. It probably will he two or three weeks before the Oophera settle that point. When that la done, however. Man ager Eager will arrange the other games on the Cornhusker schedule and fix up game for Omaha. t Outdoor Practice Thla Week. The Cornhusker base ball candidates are beginning to exhibit the benefits of the three weeks of work In the "cage" at the gymnasium and wilt be ready to start out door practice next week. If the weather la favorable they will makit their debut on the diamond at Antelope park Monday aft ernoon and will be kept busy at the datly training work until the Raster t vacation, when they will be started south on the first trip of the apring. - . Coach Fox took charge of! the squad Wednesday afternoon and Immediately gave the men some specific instructions for their work. One of the features of the practice Inaugurated by him was the bat ling of grounders" to men lined up at ( one end of the "cage." He also taught the candidates how to handle the stick for making bunta and long drives. The personnel of the squad Is now such that prediction are being made aa to what the composition of the nine will be for the season. It aecms certain that either Qreen slit or Carroll wll occupy the position be hind the home plate. Each of theae men la assured of a place on the team. Greensllt may become the regular catcher and In this case Carroll will probably be stationed at third base, which position he Is capable of playing In good atyle. The third sack is Captain Beltxer'a regular place, but the scarcity of pitchers la likely to force him to share the work of the twlrlera and this leaves the baae Job to Carroll. For the Initial bag 8lurtanegger scema lo tie the logical choice. Cline, who occu pied that Job last season, lias not .reported for practice this spring and is likely to be absent from tha squad this year. y Hammond, a freshman of laat spring, appears to be good material for second , base. He handles himself a little clumsily, but is a good batter and will be a valuable man to the 'varsity. He la not certain of making tha second sack job and may be shifted, to an outfield position If a better man la found for the Infield baae. Metcalfe and Waters are both ahowlng up well, and the choice for shortstop may be mad between them. Metcalfe is a atar player at the Infield Job, but la a little weak with the stick. Just now he seems to be the favorite for shortstop, though. For the outfield Matttaon, Chaloupka and Ctxike are regarded as among the beat of the candidates. None of theae men, how ever. Is aura of a position vet anl 0tner outfielders for the positions on the Aarstty nay ba developed. In the outdoor work before the southern trip la .taken. ' Pitchers Pasallagt Pox. The pitching problem is still perplexing the coaches. The bunch of possible var sity twlrlera now seems to. be limited to even men Captain Reltser. Ward. Flem ing, Olmstead. lletsel, Stevenson and Prouty. - Beltser and Ward are certain to do part of the work In the box. Tw other men will probably be selected from the remaining- rive aspirants to complete the staff of slab artists. H else I and Steven aon were on the team last season and won their letters, but failed to make good as winning pitchers. They will have to ahow better form this aeason to get their old Jobs. Fleming. Olmstead and Prouty ap pear to be doing good work In the cage, but the real test of their ability will not come until the outdoor training period is well advanced. Coach Fox expects to give a great deal .of attention to the pitchers as soon as lie gels them out on the diamond. He re , ' allies that the weakness of the Cornhusk ers' nine during the past two seasons wa due to the miserable twirling of the alab artiata and he ia determined on removing the fault in the box. It such a thing la liomlble. With a view to ' accomplishing this end he la going to work over ail the available pitching material in the uni versity and will gtve every candidate a fair chance to ahow what ha can do. When he has weeded out the twilling candidates 'i will take the best of the men and make hem train consistently until they are In ihate lo do efficient pitching. Part Crook Head? for Uaaars. ft. R.

WHO THE COLLECE ATHLETES Doings in the Field of Sport in Eait and West. MAKING AN ATHLETIC COLLEGE t ernell I roM-t saalrr Oraaaatea Will Make t at Team to Rare Varsity Fall In Meaor of Meakley. T!M towing fall will mark the tenth year 'that John V. Moakley has been in charge of j athletics at Cornell, and the old erose-coun-I try men are planning a reunion as a special thing for that occasion. Since Moakley has len at Cornell the cross-country teams lave been particularly powerful and have been deff ated only once In all that time. It was in 18!i thst Moakley first came to Ithaca, and the beginning of his work there I ass in charge of the long distance runners. The season was Inaugurated with a victory over Yalu In the dual cross-country race over the Morris Park course. They were defeated once only, ss hss been said, and that ivas by Yale In the fall of 1901. They never were beaten over the Travers fsland course, nor have they tasted defeat since the Intercollegiate cross-country race was changed to Princeton. In order to cele brate the occasion fittingly Cornell'a former noes-country stars are to make up a team to hold a race against the varsity squad aa It will be In the fall. There are twenty-six men who have competed as members of c'ght Inlerrollegtate championship teams. and they have been asked to get In ahape and take part In thla race. Most of them have expressed a willing ness lo do this and they believe that they will give the vaislty a good argument. The g.adtiste team will Include aa well those men who were of varsity calibre In long dlstsnce running whether or not they really mode the cross-country teams and the total number competing Is to be limited only by the number of good men that the varsity squad will muster against them. There will be a banquet after the race with as many of the veterans as are sble will attend. There will be also a reunion at which all the Cornell men who are Interested In ath letics will take part. Coach Moakley Is In favor of this race. which will have some bearing on a subject discussed not lung ago in this column, whether or not the average athlete de teriorates In physical condition after leav ing college. As It will be a full decade for some of these men since they have quit the track or tha cross-country course it will serve to show not a little how well they have kept In general physical condition since leaving college. Some Who Will Ran. Among aome of the men who are behind the race are K. W. Woodward. Foster and Barrett Smith, who were of the class of 1904: Bernle Gallagher, who was the first Cornell man to win a distance run In the Intercollegiate races, and H. L. Trube and B. J. Lemon. 19"S. Trube la the national mile champion and also recently made a remarkable performance Of less than four minutes and twenty seconds for the mile on an Indoor track. It Is very likely that eome of the more reoent Cornell graduates will give the varsity team all It carea to handle. Just at preaent the plans are only In their, beginning, but the chances are that there will be a very full team for the race. It will at least be a big fixture and will make a very appropriate celebration of Moakley'a arrival at Cornell. - Object of College Sport..- On the lines. of the true object pf college athletes Prof. Loren 0. Mllllnian of the University of Washington bad thla to say In a recent number of the Pacific Wave, the college paper: "The trouble with our college athletics la that we train to defeat some other college instead of taking exer cise to develop the bodies of the students and to gtve them good health. What would be the result upon our clasa room, work, what would be the educational value of the college course. If we trained to meet some other Institution ' In contests of mathe matics, Greek or chemistry? The good stu dents would be trained and the weak ones would be neglected. Btudenta would be coached to answer and to ask Catch ques tions. No attention would be given to gaining general information on a subject or to forming habits of study that would be useful in after life. "To be sure, foot ' hall games advertise a college. So do bargain sales advert !.m diy gooda store. Within a year a atore in Seattle was so thoroughly advertised by a bargain sale of gloves that a woman had an arm broken Irl the rush. Four policemen were necessary to keep the street open and to let the women into the store In relays. If that kind of business were continued at that store no self-respecting man would consent to have his wife, sister or daughter go there, although the firm sold the best gooda at the loweat prices. Much of the so-called foot ball advertising Is of such a character that the Institution becomes notorious rather than noted. "No one lovea to play foot ball or en Joys tha rough games of wrestling and boxing more than I do. They are games that I defend and games that I wish my sons to play for tha manly traits that they develop. But I shall send them to a col lege that produces scholars rather than winning teams. The f way to cultivate collega siarlt of the right kind Is not through athletics, especially tha athletics that looks toward productlng a team that will defeat some other Institution of learn ing. Gamea that place more atress upon a fair, manly spirit of the conteatants than upon mere victory are easentlal helpa to college spirit. " ' "Yet athletic sports are not the whole college nor a very large part of the legiti mate work for which colleges are aup porttd, and as long as America la domi nated by the lore of victory no unuaual stress need be laid on cultivating a dealre to outahlne all rival Institutions. More stress does, however, need to be placed In the scholastic spirit, the spirit for which colleges are supposed to exist. Extra streaa need not be laid on languagea or sciences, but the effort of seeking truth at ill times and In all places, and the habit of holding oneaaelf everlastingly to a problem doea need foa'erlng In Amarican colleges." ' FJIeswhere Prof. Milllman says: "This must not be taken as a criticism of ath letics or of love for vktory. Both are healthy, legitimate expressions of human life. But my contention la that they ought not to be prominently the things which hold college men together. By so doing they turn colleges Into athla'lc associations, for they are tle things for which those as sociation! tpend, their money. The love of athletics Is )but one of the motives that should actuate a body of college student JEFFRIES LITTLE CHANGED (Continued from First Page.) care of himself, and has lived cleanly. He haa a good heart," aaya Billy. Delaney's challenge seems to be made In good faith. If Jeffries goes back Into the fighting game the proposition is surely good enough to demand hla notice. When asked whether he would accept the challenge. Jeff aald: "I haven't been thinking of fighting a white man. I posi tively .have no answer to make to .this challenge, or anything to say about the possibility of fighting sgsln, until I know whether I can get m that to fight or not. When I know about thst. there'll be plenty of tlma to talk. If t don't get Into condi tion that satisfies me I won t fight any body, anybody who challenges me now h only wasting time."

March , 13.-One hundred and twenty-five bowlers of Baltimore have requested the United Tournament com pary, which will manage the national tcwllng tournamrnt In Madison Sqnnre Garden, May 24 to June 12, to aet asldo May SI for Baltimore day. On this date Ihe Marylanders will roll In the five-man event and will take part on the following day In the doubles and singles. There will be twenty five-men teams, according to tho preaent calculate ra. A big delegation of private cttlxena and public officials win accompany the teams In the hope of ob taining the convention and tournament of 1910. Joaeph Thum, the alley owner of this city, has been coaching a team of New York policemen, whijwlll roll in the tourn ament. The police team challenges any other similar quintet of bowlera In any part of America to a match on the Garden alleys, to be rolled during the national tournament. Nor la ;the cha.Het.ue con fined to one team. It la quite likely that a team of letter carriers and a team of firemen will also Issue challenges to those of other cities, while the probabilities of matchea between teama from various New York city departmenta are bright. William Cordea, president of the United Tournament company, haa a number of matchea in tow, the principal one being between Jimmy 8mith. who defeated Louie Franc of Cleveland. In the first half of their home-and-home match, and Alexan der' Dunbar. The Bargmann brothrra have challenged Smith, but the latter prefers that hla meeting with Dunbar take place on the alley a In Madison Square Garden, thereby furnishing one of the season's fea tures on new alleys with which neither man la familiar. The party of Cleveland bowlers that vis ited this city recently was delighted with Ha trip and promises 'half a dosen or more teams from the Ohio city. It Is quite likely that a match between Dave Shlman and Louis Frans will take place In the Garden, aa one of the many pciat featurea. Shi man has challenged Franx to a match for tl.vuO a side on these drives. 8IOVK DKFUATa OMAHA HIGH Wlaaera l'a to Date Have Xat Lost Gaaaa. SIOUX CITr. la.. M.ireh n.-lSpeelsU Telegram.)

Brcwn, the aged and wealthy recluse who wsa found beaten to death on the floor of hla little shanty about three milea from thla place. The coroner's Investigation de veloped whst msy possibly be clues, but the officers In charge are atlll a good deal in the dark as to the perpetrators of the orlme.

The ex amination of the body disclosed that Brown had been literally beaten to death. Parts of a revolver were found on the floor near the body. Indicating the robber had used his gun aa a club and had broken it. A piece pf atove wood covered with blood and hair allowed that it had been used after the gun had broken. Tho pieces cf revolver furnish important clues . to the murderer. Some of the founds indicated a club with a spike In it had been one of the weapons. There were no- gunshot wounds on the body. Ceroner Blggerstaff Impanelled a Jury this afternoon and went over all the avail able evidence. Detective Maloue of Lincoln has been called Into the case and was here looking over the ground.
