This season's entry will possibly not include the fast Sioux Falls team, which has always participated in former meets. The bowlers up there have been without alleys, not because of lack of interest in' the game, but because of the alleyman's inability to renew his lease. There is so much enthusiasm up there that the pin artists may enter the tournament even-without their us ual early season practice. All late entrants asking for that old favorite date, the last Saturday and Sunday, will be out of luck. Already these dates are filled and have been for some time. There are still several Friday and Satur day dates, or Sunday and Monday dates. The Omaha alleys will be entirely refinished just prior to the open ing of the tournament. Conditions for a tournament of this kind must be as close to perfection as possible. The six teams entered from St. Louis last week were the Wooster Lamberts, Sweeney's Specials, Swee ney's Tigers, Missouri Pacific No. 1, Missouri Pacific No. 2, and the H. C. Hennes, the latter team entered by the association's president, who resides there; All will roll on the opening, Saturday and Sunday. The annual meeting 01 tne association will be held on the opening Sunday The. larsre number of St. Louis roll- rrs anoearine on the schedule that day is an indication that St. Louis is hard alter next season s tournament. Thpv tried to eet it away from Omaha this season, but the local rollers rallied skifficient power to swing 11 to uie vjaic The two latest teams from St. Joe to enter are the Cobb Show com- r - PUTTING THE "NEXT .NE VER" WITtTDUarPAER ' OLDEST "OLD" GRAD BOBS UP AT DARTMOUTH. , , ' 'jl '. i Hanover, N. H., Oct 31. f ' t ANOVER Is one of those demitasse-sized burgs controlled by the IT. Chicago mail order houses. If it weren t for the catalogue guys here wouldn't be much mail aimed this way. Dartmouth Is located at Hanover and any father who sends his boy to Dartmouth can be satisfied that sonny am t doing anything but study ing, unless he's tossing little Josephs, playing red dog, stud poker, drink ing apple jack or selling his text books to grab off the fare to Boston. Good aroods come in small packages and Hanover is riot the excep tion that proves the rule. College spirit runs higher than the spots on the sun, which, are plenty high. When' Yale sent out that lour-aiarm squawk for old grads to boost the team, the old-timers swamped New Haven. That's the college spirit. It makes an old grad always willing to go back and annoy 'em some more. There hasn't been any moan for old grads at Dartmouth, as it isn't a moaning college. But the old-timers always blow in to hinder and help the coaches in the order named. Trying to oil the machinery .with a monkey wrench is an old grad's prerogative; Well, the oldest grad of the works blew Into Hanover yesterday in order to help primp the team for the game. Alongside of this Gee hokus, Methuzelah would have been charged with juvenile delinquency. He had a red lamp' hung in his whiskers so that no near-sighted hick would harvest 'em like a crop. i ' This old-timer had played at Dartmouth in the days when foot ball was still a crime. He was a tackle on the 1842 eleven that held Yale to four dozen touchdowns. This was the game in which so many high hats were busted in the scrimmages. Foot ball was formal in those days and no guy could get murdered without being introduced and recommended. Getting bumped off is much easier these long days Of shortages. Showing that civilization is advancing at a rapid limp. . Even if you gave him a quick, Philadelphia election count, this old grad was at least 107 years old. He was wrinkled like a wall paper in a country hotel. He was just getting his third edition of teeth. He was so near-sighted and deaf that he buzzed away two hours to the tackling dummy without even getting hep that he wasn't getting more than two answers to every seven questions. i The old boy could play foot ball, too, except he couldn't figure why all the modern players have their hair trimmed closer than the meat on an English mutton .chop. In his day they grew their hair long to make , tackling easier. After a tackier got his fish hooks on the runner he was harder to dislodge than a cootie. The old grad also remembered the longest goal ver kicked. It was knocked off by Sam McCall, ex-governor of Massa chusetts. This was in 1872, and Dartmouth needed one goal to win. Sam kicked the ball 80 yards, and it would have gone farther if there hadn't been two Princeton guys riding on it (Sam got excited when he started to kick field goals, and if anybody got m the road he was knocked for a goal, too. Ex-Congressman Sam Powers was another good kicker and Could drop a piano over the goal posts from the 60-yard line. Melvin Adams, who runs the narrow gauge railroad, was a good player in 1874, except he had a habit of running the wrong way. That's how he got the idea for his narrow gauge railroad. ""ieh Jf sn'J Prove anything except that an old grad is a big kelp to the foot ball eleven if anecdotes and a good memory will win runt " pany and St. Joseph Buggy com pany. Eight alleys will be used this year to accommodate the big entry. The alleys will be paired off, 2 and 3, 4 and 5, 6 and 7, 8 and 9. This is the first tournament ever held by the association where the layout didn't, have one or more pairs of split al leys. That means "that every pair of alleys a team or individual rolls on will not be split with a post or a return chute between them. Grand stands will be constructed over al leys 1 to 10. Bill Learn has secured the check room again, with the old "50-50" cry. He handled it very efficiently during the last tournament held flere, so we can expect the same satisfaction this time. A good checking system makes a hit with visiting bowlers and contributes in no small degree to .the successful handling of the event. Local Bowling Notes. Mose Yousem is back in the game with the same old pep and enthu siasm. Not quite as strong a roller as he was back in 1912-13 when he was able to take 'em all on. Gus Toman will roll with the Stock Yards National Banks in the Magic City league. The bankers are in last place, but with the addi tion of this fast pingetter, they snouia start up the ladder. The Steyer Candy Co. team has been strengthened by . the addition of Jimmy Coleman to their lineup. Atkinson, the Orchard and Wil- helm star, was high roller for the special prize on the Farnam allevs last month. With his score of 269 he is handed a fine Stetson hat by me vvasnington bhirt Co. This prize is given every; month to the bowler rolling high individual game on tne farnam alleys. George Lowe, ex-secretary of the association, has 'sent in two more entries from Kansas Citv. One will be labeled Lowe and Campbell; the otner nas not disclosed its identity. The usual Mason City, la., entry has not arrived yet. They have al ways attended with a strong flub All the Omaha alley houses should be represented with teams bearing the house name. The Omaha and Farnam alley entries have already Deen received. Fitzy Figenschuh and Charley new ciaim tne two-man muicwaeon driver championship of the city. If any two other followers of the early ; ! i. . morning muxy irau aon t recognize this claim let them speak up now ana accept tne milk drivers last chesty deti. It may be dry. but still th Harney alleys has its Bierbar every wee, ms name is rrank, and he can be seen in action every week m tne Jriarnev lespne. Ye editor s recent appeal to the league secretaries to send in their league schedules for the season has been sadly responded to. The hus tling secretaries of the Mercantile, Magic City and Gate City leagues are the only ones who seem to be interested in their leagues' public ity, ine eaitor nas oodles of pa tience, however, so let the tardhy secretaries act now before snow flies. Harry Primeau is still knocking them dead. He has been honored with the anchor position of the City Hall crew and holding it down admirably. Where they all are Marcus Fire stone, the flying Tew and don't care who knows it, is now located in Los Angeles, Cal. He is still the same old bug, on the runways every night and hitting the pins for the same old healthy average. Another former star of the local ranks who left us but couldn't stay away, has returned and when he sets into shape will again be seen in one ot the last local lineups. Freddie Balzer Is his name. He likes Los Angeles and the bowling game there, but yet he is back in Omaha. What s the answer? Local alley men are lavine in a huge supply of chewing tobacco to take care ot the increased demand when Pat Anglesburg will get back in the game. Buy Diamond Fields. London, Nov. 4. The purchase by an Anglo-American company of German interests in the African dia mond fields is confirmed officially. As announced here the nurrhacp price was 3,750,000 sterling. University of Omaha Plays Cotner Next Saturday at Lincoln Changes in the line up of the Uni versity of Omaha foot ball team have raised the hopes of the stu dent body for a successful season, following the victory over Palmer University of Mississippi last Sat urday. The registration of Reeves, Cle berg, and Dutcher at the school has strengthened the team. All three men are former army stars. The Omaha team will meet Cot ner university at Lincoln next Sat urday. They will be accompanied by a strong contingent of roters. Negotiations have been opened with the Great Lakes, III., by Coach Cavanaugh for the game here on No vember 15. SYRACUSE WINS FROM RUTGERS COLLEGE, 14-0 Orange Goal Line in Danger Only Once New. Jersey Eleven Not Quite Strong Enough. New York, Nov. 4. Syracuse university defeated Rutgers college in their annual foot ball game here. 14 to 0. The Orange eleven proved too strong for the New Jersey com bination and the Rutgers goal line was in danger but once, when Baker, the Rutgers quarterback, in tercepted ; a forward pass and sprinted into a clear field, only to be brought to ground by Ackley, who overtook him after a long run. Play during the first two periods was confined almost entirely be tween the - two 25-yard lines, both teams holding well against the or dinary line plunging and end runs. In the third period Syracuse un covered a puzzling overhead attack which quickly scored when Abbott's pass to Ackley was in turn thrown 35 yards forward to Schwarzer, who dashed across the line for a touch down, from whjch Ackley kicked goal. With Rtitger's secondary defense forced to play far back to guard against this form of advance, Syra cuse in -the final period gained half the length of the field on two suc cessive end runs and battered its way over the last 10 yards for its second touchdown by Erwig, which Ackley again turned into a goal.

The players are gradually getting into excellent shape for the contest, which is to be staged Thursday afternoon with the eleven from Columbus, Neb. This game is to be called at 2 o'clock at Creighton field. The present squad is the best that has represented the school for many years. It has made a better show ing than was expected. All the coaches were surprised when they trimmed the Harlan, la., team by the large score of 85 to 0 last week. The team is expected to do as well Thursday. "Duke1' Levinfon, "Rainbow" Halhoot and Jimmie Johnson, excel lent players on the business lads' team, did not apper for practice yes terday. These men have slight in juries and will probably be kept for the Beatrice affair, which will be plavcd soon. The players were disappointed when they received the news that the Logan, la., coach postponed the game next week. The Iowans held the Denison, Ia squad to a tie score earlier in the season, while the local lads trimmed the Harlan bunch by the score of 85 to 0. This must be the reason for the cancel lation. ( Coroner Decides Boxer's Skull Was Not Fractured Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 4. A rup ture of one of the arteries feeding the brain, causing a cerebral hemor rhage, resulted in the death of Tommy Perry, Chicago lightweight boxer, Monday night, according to Coroner Franklin following a post mortem examination. Perry collapsed in the tenth and last round of his bout last Friday night with Sammy Marino, follow ing a light blow to the jaw". There was no fracture of the skull. An jn quest will be held Thursday morning. Captain Usher Stars ' In Preseason League . -; . I , ' Scoring a total of 37 points in tht three games that he participated i last night, Capt Billy Usher of thi"' Gjendales, who are tied for second Dlace with the Monmouth Parks in the basket ball championship race of the pro-season league, broke all rttt ords for individual scoring and also for total scores of the season. , the games, Usher made 10 of the 16 -points for his team against the Un ion Squares, the final score being 16 to 8. In the game with the Kirk woods, leaders of the league. Usher vi a rl a ft etv tAiM(a aiUilA fantaTn Brown of the Kirkwoods had the honor of making 14 points out of the 24 scored by his team against the Bemis Parks' two. The Kirkwoods outclassed their opponents in every 1 department of the game, and had them shut out with but a few min utes to go when Lundgren, center, shot a goal on a dead run. The Idlewild's victory over the Fontenelles goes mainly to Billy Usher, for it was in this game that he broke the individual record for scores when he shot 10 field goals and one foul goal, for 21 points. Had Usher not been playing, the result probably would have been reversed, a Livinson, also forward, was the only other man for the Idlewilds to score, shooting two goals for four points. The Idlewilds won by a 25 to 8 score. Barney Nordstrom played the stellar game for the Fontenelles. The Norwoods scored another vic tory by defeating the Morningside quintet by the one-sided score of 18 to 7. , Following the cage contests, which was attended by a large crowd, com posed mainly of lady friends of the flayers, an entertainment was fur nished. Refreshments, consisting of coffee and daughnuts, were served. Inch of Snow Falls. Montpelier, Vt, Nov. 4. An inch of snow fell here.
