an awful roar was heard. Hero are the

Many critics predicted when tltey eaw

Is not at all unlikely at this writing that
the contest In Philadelphia may settle
tha foot ball title. Don't think for a
second that tho Harvard-Tala battle will
be more exciting or more bitterly con
teated than the one In the town of sleep
and slumber.
Naturally the Harvard-Yale gune -will

to be expected, as one will be played on

over Yale have earned them marked
prominence on the foot ball map,, while

Princeton Tigers has vurely put them In
the running for the 1912 title.
It Is unfortunate that the Army, after

After the Yale game the Army schedule
read eaey for the team on the banks of
the Huduon. Georgetown, Bucknell and
Colgate didn't figure ai worthy oppo

hard game before the one with the Navy.
But the Annapolis eleven, too, . looked
to have an cawy schedule after the
Princeton game. North Carolina Agri

mmo will be the best the Army-Navy
or the Harvard-Yale.
Tale's defeat at the hands of the West
Point eleven baa changed the opinion of
one foot ball expert aa . to the outcome
of the niuo-CHmaon struggle. Charley
Barrett, the Williams trainer, who has
for seventeen long years followed foot
ball with the little Berkshire Hills team,
thinks It is a cinch Harvard will be
beaten on November 25. Here Is a letter,
in part, I have just received from Mm:
"Yalo will surely beat Harvard thla
fall. Williams played Harvard and I
watched the Crim en eleven every second
of the gome. A good team will have no
trouble with them. Their backfleld, ont-
slde of Wendell, is a huge Joke. They
rely on Wiendcli to carry the hall most
of the time and a tenm to beat them Just
has to play him.
"The Harvard line Is composed of fairly
big men, but they are woefully slow and
have no fight In them. In the kicking
department Harvard Is very much to the
'Frltx.' If Williams had had the asms
team they had two yeara ago, we would
have given Harvard an awful walloping.
I don't see how Haughton can beat Yale
thla year, unlesa the team'takes'a most
remarkable brace.
"Aa for the Wllllama team, It, la tha
lightest we have had in years, but Daly
la a good coach and I bellevo with the
proper material he would have turned out
a ernckerjatk team. He had no new ma
terial to work on and nearly all the best
men of . last year sre not able to play
owing to studies."
himself of the privilege and la beginning
to reap the whirlwind. According to
Cutler, Johnson, tike Jackson, will have
to box Boon to replenish his treasury.
There Is every reason for believing that

but before the day cornea Johnson, aa

again -and Johnson la forced to fight to

and Johnson In the ring. I meao. of
course, If Johnaon insists on meeting a

' It may be to smile at. the, Idea of

In looking backward ' over ' the last
twelve yeara of foot , ball at the Omiha
High school, some interesting facia are
to be obtained.
' In the. past 'annals of foot ball history
at the school, Will Knglehai te looms up
aa the most prominent player, with "Ed
die" Burnett a close second. Engleharto
played fullfuck from 180$ until 1W1. being
captain of the team in 1301, his last year
In school. He was a glnnt.et his position
and hla line plunging abilities were largely
responsible for Omaha's winning games
in 1900 and 1901. In fact., he waa the
whole team all the time and his llko has
never been equalled. . .
Burnett played rlaht half on the team
.v.. luai rrmiB, irom larj fo juuo, and, was
captain In 1905. Burnett was conspicuous
in those days as a hard msn to tackle
and was one of the fleetleRt players tho
achool ever produced. Other old-time
"stars" were, Al Faltbrother, left end,
who scored against Crclghton In 1S01;
Merle Howard, right end In 1WW; Frank
Latenser, the giant rleht tackle In 1907,
and "Chuck" Gardner, fullback, who won
the IJncoln game and the championship
by a drop-kick from the forty-yard line
In irot . .
Prior to 1S? very few facts are obtain
able and the team In thoce days did not
have a regular sohedule, but played on
the spur of the moment. Beginning 'in
October, . 1KS!, a regular team was orga
nised and a schedule arranged. This
team played Tabor college, the Fremont
Normal school, the Teltaniah town team,
the Hed Oak High school and a fast
alumni team, winning every game. How
ever, in the game with Lincoln it struck
a snag and v as beaten, 11 to 0, their only
defeat of the season.

U to 6.' The game was played at the
old Young -Men's . Christian association
park and drew sn immense crowd. Ne
braska was not able to acore until the
luH few minutes of play.
The aeaaon of liml waa one of remarka
ble surprises. Omaha was defeated at
Woodbine, la.. In the Initial game ot the j
season, to 0. The team brai-ed In prac- j,
ties- sfter this game and astonished j
everyone by trimming the Crelghton
eleven in tli second game f the season,
11 to 5. Omaha also defeated Y'ork. pes j

Morris, there may be a different story to
tell. For Flynn, on that rainy September

- Foot Ball Back to lie Own. .
In 1107 foot ball was established on a
firm basis, ivhlch It haa. maintained ever
since, the team A-innlng five out of- six
games on a hard schedule. The eleven of
t'JOS was perhaps the most prominent In
the school's annals, as It won. eight out
of hlno mines and piled up the over
whelming score of 2S7 points, against 18
made by opponents during the year. This
was the toam which won tly tnterschol
atitlo championship of Nebraska and
Iowa that year. Ben Cherrlngton coached
the squad and Harold McKlnney, right
half, was captain.
The elevens of 1909 and 1910 aleo made
brilliant records, losing only three gamos
In the two years.
As matters stand at present Omaha has
not lost a home game since 1907, when it
was trimmed by York High, IS to 5.
It Is interesting to note that Omaha
has scored a total of 1.166 points aaainst
S53 made by opponents during the last
twelve years, so that the average score
Pr game would be. Omaha, 10; op.
ponents, 5. If a percentage was figured

tlons in the small minor leagues reveals
the fact that the last reason has not
been a striking success, financially speak,
ing. Although the major leagues have
broken all records n the matter of at
tendance and gale receipts, things have
been very difforent In tho ush leagues.
Apparently only tho stars of the game
can draw the fans In paying ' numbers.
Like the followers of prize fighting, fans
would rather stay at homo and read
about the exploits of diamond heroas
llko Tyrus Cobb or Matty than turn out
to see Inferior talent perform. The fol
lowing are a few of the failures, and
these show: that misfortune was not con
fined to any section of the country;
Western League Wichita club trans
ferred to Pueblo. Dcs Moines club kept
on the road for cix weeks because of lack
of support at home.
Southern League Mobile s closing eories
transferred because of poor attendance
Trl-State shifts In schedule because of
poor support accorded certain clubn.

Contaious Blood Poison, as
an infectious blood taint which
cated from one person to another. Its virus is of a most insidious

presence in the blood. The mouth and throat ulcerate, glands in the
groin swell, the hair begins to come out, copper-colored spots appear on
the body, aid frequently running sores and ulcers break out on the flesh,
A condition of such serious nature requires proper treatment.
Not only must the disease be driven out, but the system which has
been weakened by the powerful poison must be built up, before health
can be restored. The queston of most importance therefore is what
medicine has proven by actual results its superiority as a blood purifier?
