I The football season will be . officially Opened tomorrow afternoon if , football (may be said to have an official opening v Jn all sections of the country. - Last Sat- j))ay, but tomorrow practically all elevens mtt be In action, some of the - game scheduled looming up as real contests. The games of last week were mostly practice contests and were scheduled aa Buch, but In three or four Instances, as Minnesota, were 'compelled to accept de feat. The battles on the menu for Satur day hoid more Interest for the followers of the great sport. i Nebraska university meets Bellevue iwllege of Omaha. It Is a game that will not cause much excitement. The heavy Cornhuskers will run up a large score jlf they choose, and will derive very little advantage from the battle.- Bellevue Is laot strong enough to afford such oppo ltlon as a big eleven should have. The iine will not test the strength of the Cornhusker forwards; the backs will use fio plays to bewilder their opponents. he value of such a game to Nebraska very amall. Instead of meeting Belle- they ahould be playing a team hav the strength of the Kansas Aggies, ho are to be their foe next Saturday. ttha Minnesota-Nebraska game U but to weeks off, and the Cornhuskera will .e only one hard contest before that Uruggle, the Aggie game. In the past, Jiebraeka's showing against Minnesota lias been poor because the Lincoln eleven It. as always played weak teams before oing to Northup field, and never have fiad a real hard tryout to show up its Veep weaknesses. j Ames and Minnesota. I Amos and Minnesota will elash at, Minneapolis In a game that will be close i Tho showing of the uopners iasi ween gainst South Dakota was miserable, and they may be expected to do muoh better this week, for Coach Barry L. Williams Is a wonder, and If his men have foot ball in them he will get it out. The jgajne has helped the Gohpers much. ..Ames, however, .has not had a contest jithis fall, and will get into actual play for the first time. This Is going to be a (disadvantage, for some of the Aggies tare new to the game and are likely to (ahqw up in a poor manner. As a whole the Ames teajrf is made up of veterans, 'though, and will be in shape to play a Aiard game. Minnesota's coach has Im proved his team, and it would not be a urprise if he should lick the Aggies. I Chicago is expected to defeat Indiana; "Wisconsin should have an easy battle gall and Case always put up a good SaiUtS, 11U JLUDba ,ua - ..... pushed to win. The Kansas Aggies, foe of the Cornhuskers next Saturday, will tace the Haskell Indians. They should wln. and the game should give some im portant pointers on the Manhattan eleven's play. Iowa meets Normal in an easy game. Purdue and De . Pauw are likely to have a close eauie. Harvard will face Holy Cross, the team that Yale had a difficult time in beat Jng. Perhaps the Crimson will make a tetter showing than, the Blue did. Col gate Is expected to win over Amherst. Princeton should find Lehigh easy. Yale meets Syracuse, and, Judging from the Blues work so far" this autumn, will hava a hard game. ' .: Two Neairoes Convicted. TvtMTwrrs r,sL. Oct. 1 While four companies of militia from.

J.-Dissatlsfled with the work of his team in the scrim mage practice of the last few days, Coach Hawley today sent the Iowa team back to rudimentary foot ball. More changes were made in the lineup and no scrim mage was attempted. Hawley's disap proval ' of' the way the Hawkeyes have been going showed In tho ,way he sent the men up and down the field and in bis comments upon their work. Parsons got back on the varsity at halfback, replacing McGlnnts, and Gilli land was again at center. Trickey stayed at left tackle, Indicating that the coach will try to make him a fixture there. The rest of the lineup was the same as it has been. Hawley devoted much of the afternoon to teaching the men formations to be used in receiving kloks, and also gave Kirk drill In goal kicking, at which the big fellow showed np well. DOPE SHOWS A CLOSE BATTLE Records of Bed Sox and Giants Are Very Much Alike. SPEAXEK IS THEBEST HITTER w York Has Batting Strength in the Infield to Balance the Heavy Work og Bos ton's Outfield. NEW YORK, Oct. 4. If the work of the base ball mathematicians has not been In vain the batting and fielding averages of the Giants and Red Sox indicate a closer contest for the world's champion ship than the partisan supporters of either club are willing to concede." Although the major league seasons have not quite come -to their official close, a comparison of the total records for the two pennant winning clubs, com piled from unofficial figures, is up to within a few games of the finish, as fol lows: v FIELDING. New York. Boston. 3,555 3,623 1,666 1,088 269 231 New York, .951; Boston, .958. BATTINQ. New York. Boston. 4,478 4,466 756 694 1,254 1238 New York. .280; Boston, .276. LONG HITS. New York. Boston.

In fielding, especially in outfielding, the superiority of the Boston club has been much vaunted by its followers. Speaker Great Hitter. Tris Speaker, the Boston centerfielder, although having a slightly lower fielding average than his two colleagues in the "outer garden." has the remarkable bat ting average of .887. , Murray of the New York outfield has been batting a ' few points better than Hooper, while the fielding averages of both men are identical; each prac tically leading the outfielders of their re spective leagues with marks of .972. Becker and Lewis have the same bat ting average, .270, and differ but a few points in fielding. The weak spot of tho New York outfield would appear to be In Devore's average of .897 and batting of .341 New York's batting strength among In fielders, however, Is quite as pronounced, from the figures, as Boston's advantage in the outfield. Merkle, with a batting average of .807, has been hitting better than Stahl, but at the name time conced ing that the Boston player a few points In Infleldlng. Larry Doyle, at second, has been hitting better than Yerkes, but also concedes several points to the Boston man In fielding. At shortstop It is a toss-up between Wagner and Fletcher In both batting and fielding, but at third the comparison is all in the favor of Gardner, for batting, for with a record of .818 he pairs with Speaker for honors of the club; Hersog of New York has a better record on third base than Gardner by several points. 3Ierers Beet Catcher. Between the catchers the batting hon ors He with Meyers of New York, with about eighty points over Carrigan of Bos-, ton and his fielding is also a few points ahead. V Experts agree from the figures as whole, distilled from the record of prac tically every ball in play during the ma-1 Jor leagues' .season, there" Is", little to choose, except the fact that the clubs are evenly enough matched to ' provids a world's series of the highest order. ' Comparison of PInyers. , A man to man comparison by aver, ages from which the foregoing ' totals were taken follows, the Giants being the players first mentioned In each case: Women and Children Endure Sufferings WASHINGTON, Oct 1 -Stories of pri vation and suffering without precedent in the history of Central American war fare are coming to the State department from Its agents in Nicaragua . The piti ful feature Is the terrible affliction of women and small children, and the utter Inability of all relief agencies to meet the demand for Immediate food supplies for, the starving people. Usually in tropical countries some kind of food may bo obtained from the Jungles and from the native crops, but the fact that a disastrous drouth completely blighted the Nicaraguan crops and dried up the native fruits, has added to the horrors of warfare. ' i Foreigners as well as natives have i been brought to the point of destitution I and starvation and it is their plight which has determined Rear Admiral Southerland to sweep away the remnant of the rebel forces south of Managua, whose activities have been chiefly re sponsible for the suffering. v DEFECTIVE EYESIGHT CAUSE OF AEROPLANE ACCIDENT WASHINGTON, Oct.

Players on Foot Ball Team COLUMBIA. Mo Oct. S.-The return of Jack Mills to the Missouri foot ball squad has raised the hopes of Tiger supporters as this makes seven "M" men on the squad and with Craig, last year's substi tute, means thai the coaches will have to depend on only three Inexperienced men. The kicking department Is still weak, but Lake has developed Into an excellent drop kicker and Brewer expeots to Im prove Shephard's punting until he will be able to cope successfully with Gibson and Howard, Nebraska's men, when the day of the big game arrives. , With the Ames game scarce three weeks away, Coach Brewer has deemed It expedient that the men pay a littl more attention to team work.. He has been giving the men new signals which regulate the time the line and back flnhi shall take in getting away. Previous to this week the line has been slow In start ing, but with the Introduction of the new signals a vast improvement has been no ticeable. In addition to the team work the coaches are developing speed in tho back field to overcome the serious lack of weight. The average weight of the back field Is only 150 pounds, but as all Missouri teams have been light this will not bother the. coaches If a little speed can be developed.
