XBW TORK. Nov. C.-Mot of th east
rn collect have bn favored with rood
weather tor hard practice and n the big
games are approaching reports come from,
Hit cjirop that the teams are shaping up
strong.
Prlnoeton has practically wound up lta
rehearsal of Harvard formations. In thete
mimic battle the Tlrera have had little
difficulty In breaking up the Crlmaon
strategy, but It It doubtful whether the
iwarrtoro have any irreat confidence ot
'winning the real battle. Anions' outside
observerB Harvard le a pronounced favor
ite, for the team haa played consistently
successful foot ball and developed a '
tern of offense that few exports dliput
to be the strongest In evidence at thla
etage of the inter-collegtate season.
Defensively, the team If not o strong,
however, and for thla reason the hope
of Princeton follower that the Tlcer
will break through for a acore may not
1 unwarranted. The rrinceton coaohj
appear to have given up the hunt for
any one punter to carry the game and
It is probable that Law and "ilobey"
tSaker and Burden will be called upon
4urtnr the reft of the season to. ehare
the kicking work.
' Princeton will try the Innovation of
Numbering It player In the 'Harvard
came. This haa 'been a much talked of
lata, but up to now none of the big col
lege have adopted It Each or the Orange
and Black player will carry a large num.
br on hi back and the key to the y
tern will be found In the official pro
gram. The, Crlmion management, how
eVer, ha preferred not to number Har

Yule Haa Here Lineup.
Tale has rounded out what will prob
ably prove It regular lineup for the rest
of the season and be employed a an
entirety In the Drown game on Saturday.
The hakup since he defeat by Colgate
last week has given the Ell team a new
center trio In Way, Cooney and Marting,
places Captain Ketcham at right end,
moves Fullback Aleck Wilson to quarter
and Installs at fullback JDave Dunn, who
had the position two ssason ago. Alns
worth will succeed Cornell at left half.
Drown Is believed to be quit as strong
as Colgate and Washington and Jeffer

against Vale In Saturday's game, will

3!rvard games.
The Dartmouth team left New Hamp

for further practice for the game with
Pennsylvania on Saturday. A close game
anticipated, as the Pennsylvania team
tels In strength, while the Dartmouth
are credited with more foot ball
rintegy.

Is disappointment because O'Hearn, the

uttered In the Harvard game, will not
be able to return to Ithaca for Satur
day's contest.
The loss I felt keenly, as the Ithacans
were counting on O'Hearn to carry the.
brunt of the defense against the ex-
pected running game ot the Michigan
back. Ross ha been put at left end to
yil the vacancy, and, as a whole, the

8tar Half of Nebraska May Not Be
in Kansas Game.
ONE OF MOST VALUABLE MEN
Torrle Still tVellns; Indisposed and
lias Not Ilren Ont for Practice
Work Unrlns; the Entire
Week.
MNCOI.-N. Neb., Nov. .-(8peclal.)-The
latest misfortune of the Cornhusker
foot ball team, after a series ot accidents
and sickness which might well discourage
the stoutest heart, came In the form of
an announcement today that Iluthorford,
the star halfback, reported 111 yesterday,
was down with tonsllltls
Rutherford was taken sick yesterday
afternoon late, but little was thought of
his illness. Last night It developed In
more serious form and the squad physi
cian confirmed the report that he was
suffering from a severe attack of tons!,
litis. With the best of luck, the doctor
declared, nutherford should be in shape
for the Kansas game, but It was a remote
chance that he would be able to partici
pate In the most critical contest of the
season.
Itutherford Is one of the most valuable
men on the team and, besides playing a
great game on the defense, he Is the best
defensive Player on the Cornhusker
quad. With Purdy and nutherford on
the secondary offense it ha been impossi
ble for a single opposing player all sea
son to get by th aecondary defense and
thus secure a clear field with the ex
ception of the quarterback,
Titus It may be seen how really seri
ous nutherford' Illness Is, and should
he be compelled to stay out of the Kan
sas game the, Cornhusker stock", would
drop 10 per cent.
To ttIp Xot la Shape.
Max Towlo Is also feeling indisposed
and has not been out for practice all
week. Halllgan Is still nursing his sore
shoulder and Cameron, Maetln and
Thompson are numbered among the ab
sentees In th ranks of the regular. In
fact, Stlehm haa been drilling along all
the week with but five or six regular
playsr reporting for practice.
Warren Howard, the Omaha star, has
been shifted to quarter during Tovrle'a
temporary Illness and is running the team
In great shape. Should occasion demand,
Howard can be used at either end, quar
terback or fullback, and Just now the
Omaha boy Is nearly Indispensable to th
squad.
The varsity had but littl difficulty in
holding the freshmen safe at all times
during the practice last night and How
ard and Deck wsre able to smash through
th first-year line and circle the end for
good gain. Beck scored a touchdown
on a beautiful forward pass,. Howard to
Deck.
I'slng the Kansas shift, which Is copied
from the famous Minnesota, shift, the
freshmen were also able to make good
gain through the vanity Una, but once
within striking distance of the goal th
regulars tightened and the fleet-year men
were always compelled to relinquish th
ball. The defense of the varsity was
much better last evening than on pre
ceding night and. although Stlehm has
used freely of the substitutes, the "subs"
should have but little difficulty in piling
up a big score against Wasleyan,
Harvard Finishes
Practice for Game
With Princeton
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. . The
polishing off of the Harvard foot ball
team for Saturday's game with Prlncs
ton was completed today. The eleven
was mads up of the entire so-called first
string players with th exception of
Trumbull, the center, who will watch ue
contest from the aid line, while Souoy
will play at quarter.
Th undergraduate body will glv th
team an enthusiastic send-off tomorrow
About 1,000 students will go to Princeton
to see the gam.
The suggestion that the players bj
numbered, a plan adopted at Princeton,
meets with only small favor among th
Harvard coaches.

Waterloo (jives
Largest Sum Yet
For Big Highway
Over half the male population of Wa
terloo turned out to a IJneoln highway
booster meeting held In the town hall
last night. H. E. Fredrlckson drove out
to attend the meeting and urge the Wa
terloo people to get out nnd make a
noise.
J. C. Robinson, the town consul for the
Lincoln hlghwny, announced thnt he had
secured promises of 2,900 which would
be used to purchase Lincoln highway
certificates. This Is the largest amount
so far raised In any city, not even ex
cepting Omaha. Three men, James
Walsh, J. C. Robinson and If. R. Wa
dron, contributed 1,M of the total, while
A, H. Campbell and R. F. Johnson do
nated XX C. B, Compton and A. C.
Compton, both ot whom live four miles
off the road contributed $100.
Every person present had a good word
to say for the Lincoln highway and ex
pressed gratitude, that Waterloo waa to
be on the routo. Every one thought that
It would Increase the value ot property
along the lln and would act as one of
the greatest advantages Nebraska will
possess.
Mr. Fredrlckson assured Waterloo and
Elkhorn that the road would pass through
their cities. It was suggested that the
route be changed to the military trail
through Benson, and several Densonltes
were present to present their side ot the
question, but Mr. Fredrlckson explained
the feasibility of the Elkhorn-Waterloo
route so the minds ot the skeptical were
pacified.
W. G, Whltmore, one of the Board of
Regents of the tato university, ..who re.

would subscribe foOO, was present and
advocated the advisability of subscribing
for certificates. Mr, Whltmore asserted
that It was a financial proposition to the
land owner and he stated that he was
positive land would so Increase In valuo
after the completion of the road that
any fanner .along the routo could well
afford to contribute a dollar for every
acr and may be even 15 for every acre
nnd still come out with a large percentage
ot gain merely from a real estate point
ot vlsw.

ST, LOUIS GAME CALLED OFF

ALL OVER PLAYING FRESHMEN
St. I.onl Declare Contract Calls for
Thrlr Elimination, While Crrlnh
on fnyu This U Only a
Last Thought.
The Crelghton-SU Louis university foot
ball gameascheduled for the coming Sat
urday at St Louis, Mo haa been railed
off because of a failure on the part ot
the two managements to come to to.nis
on the contract with respect to playing
freshmen, St. Louis contending there waa
an agreement not to play them.
The St. Louis University Athletic as.
soclatlon issued the following statement
yesterday at St. Ixuls regarding the mat
ter: Crelghton has wired that they will not
play liere Saturday the 8th, because
we will not permit them to play their
freshmen.
Wo expected, until very 1'ecrntly, that
wo were to meet on equal footing, and
when wo learned otherwue we decided
that In Justice to ourselves and our team
we could not make this concession.
In order not to disappoint our friends
and students we will endeavor to sched
ule itNjrame with some othMr teem to fill
this dSte. GEORGE BAKEWELL.
Secretary Athletic Association, St. Louti
university.
In answer to the above Faculty Direc
tor Wise of Crelghton said last night:
"The question ot not playing freshmen
was not made known to fhe Crelghton
athletlo management until last week
and Crelghton Insisted upon playing ac
cording to the written contract. In which
nothing was said about freshmen."
The new of the cancellation of the St.
Louts Ramo cam as a severe blow to
the members ofthe Crelghton team and
their followers. Crelghton was conceded
to have the best chance tn Its history
ot walloping the Mlssourians on thilr
own grounds, and amply revenging them
selves for the defeat at the hands of SL
Louis on Crelghton field last year. The
St. Louis team has made a poor showing
this year, and Crelghton had every hope
or scoring a clean victory.
The Crelghton team, however, Is not In
the best ot condition, Captain Miller atlt
being laid up with a lame knee. He ox
pecta to play at St. Louis If the trip Is
made. The squad has been further
weakened by the loss of Seth frail.

St, Louis Wants
Catcher Cady
CHICAGO, Nov. 6. Except for a rumor
that St. Louis wanted Catcher Cady of
Boston, no trade talk reached the public
when American league magnates gathered
today for their annual meeting here. The
purohase of Cady was suggested to Rob
ert McCoy of the Boston club In an In
formal way, It waa said, and there was
little chance of Its going through.
Owner Farrell of the New York club
was late In reporting for the meeting of
directors. He conferred with several
other club owners, but announced no
deals.
The directors attended to a lot of rou
tine business. Including the auditing of
bills and approval of the treasurer's re
port. The Philadelphia club was awarded

ProTes.
The Crclghlon-Dakota Turkey day con
test which has been hanging fire for the
last three weeks, was assured last even
ing when the Crelghton athletic management-received
a telegram from Vermillion,
S. D,, the location of Squth Dakota state,
declaring they would play the Thanks
giving game accoiding to schedule.
Thj telegram came as an answer to
letters from Crelghton asking the Coyotes
if they intended to play the game. Soma
time ago, because. several of their num
ber were suspended for hazing a fellow
student, the South Dakota team struck,
and the remaining games on their sched
ule were cancelled, according to press
reports from Vermillion. After some par
leying they agreed to play Denver uni
versity according to schedule, but again,
after the Denver game, they quit the
field.
It nas then that the Crelghton manage
ment wrote asking for Information, and
have since been awaiting- developments.
The action on tho part ofthe South
Dakota management came as the result
of a request of the student body of that
school assembled in mass convention
Wednesday afternoon.
All of the Coyotes have agreed to don
uniforms for only two of the remaining
games on their schedule, that with the
Michigan Aggies, November 15, and
Crcighton. South Dakota also suggests
w; IEIseman of the Sioux 'City High
school "fo'r"refere"e bh TharikYglvfng day:
The assurance of the South Dakota
game comes a welcome news to Crelgh
ton men, who had begun to regard the
season as ended, as far as big battles
were concerned. Coming on tho eve ot
the cancellation of the St. Louis battle, It
Is more welcome than ever.
November 33 is stltl an open date on
the Crelghton schedule. It I possible that
Baker university of Kansas or Cotner
University ot Nebraska will be the op
ponent on that date.
