Of the proficiency that will be needed
in the real contests of the season.
The outlook for this years sport is
particularly favorable. From all the
considerable colleges and many of the
high schools throughout the country
come reports Of increased interest in
this excellent winter pastime and great
rivalry with reference to important
positions in the teams which are in
process of organization.

thanks to the good work of the foot
ball convention held last year in New
York
This convention was composed of
representatives from a number of the
principal colleges who realized that
continuation of factional strife would
ultimately work untold injury to foot
ball, and so it was determined to put
an end to it. With this worthy object
In view the convention amended OBJ
iectionable rules and framed new ones
to satisfactorily cover mooted points.
The proceedings were characterized by
the utmost harmony. and all changes
In the rules were adopted unanimously
Therefore, though some special inter-
collegiate differences still exist, gener-
ally speaking, it is safe to say that
football will flourish this Season. Yale
and Harvard have about settled the
details of an understanding which 1t
Is hoped may prove sufficiently strong
to Withstand the shocks of many a.
future contest.

The South side high school football
team put up a hard, plucky game yes
terday against the university team, but
the odds were too great and the var
city men won by score Of SAC. The
remarkable feature of the game was
the way in which the university team
went to pieces in the second half.
They had hard work to score the two
touchdowns which were made. The
weakening was caused mainly by the
confusion of the quarter, Cole, who had
been substituted for Woodwork.
Otherwise Cole played a good game,
getting into the play and passing well
but he had not learned the signals and
was not quick to see the vulnerable
point. of.f
The first half started with the kick
off by Harry Loonis. In one minute
and a half, the first touchdown had

almost as quick time. Harrison took
the ball running around the left and
for twenty yards and a touchdown.

extremely ragged. In addition the
high school boys had discovered that
the university men were not going to
kill them and consequently they
played with more confidence The
game was not as snappy nor was the
interference as good on the part of the
substitutes which had gone in for the

school boys made their five yards and
had the ball nearly half the time
The Minnesota team did not attempt
to advance the ball by runs except on
one occasion. Most the gains were by
kicks, the intention being to give the
varsity men some practice in defensive
play as all had been offensive work In
the first half. The varsity made two
touchdowns, LOOMS failing on the
goals. The final score was seven touch
downs and three goals, total "a points
for Minnesota to 0, for the South side.
On the occasion of the fourth touch
down, the ball was punted out by
Leomis to Harrison, but the captain
failed to get it, not trying when he saw
the ball going to one side. He ordered
another kick, but Referee Walker OBJ

Some OF Yale's football material for
this season will be: L. Hinckey and
nj. M. Bass, ends on last years team;
J. Q. Rodgers and Capt. Murphy, tack
les on last years team; A. Chadwick,
one of last years guards, and G.. M.
Ffncke, last years quarter, these six
men being the only members of last
years team who will be in college this
year.
Fincke will of course be Yale's best
quarter, but Ely will be a good sub
ststute. For half backs, there will be
benjamin Mills. Letton, De Saulles, ].
Gerard and Hazen. Letton or Mills
will probably be the two best men for
full back
The most conspicuous man ON the
team this year is Fred Murphy, who
will try to lead the eleven to victory
over their greatest rivals, the Prince
ton Tigers.
and his election was most popular. He
has played several years on the team
and is one of the best tackles in the
country. He was the catcher of the
Yale nine the past season.
Princeton's players will be led by
Garrett Cochran this year. He Is an
old and experienced player and was
son.
Cochran, while tall and strong, is one
OF the "headfest" men on the gridirodl
He will have the majority of last year
team back again and, with several
promising players, should turn out an
eleven that will be credit to his coll
eye. Only two of the men who played
on last years team graduated in June.

ball athletes, led by Capt Charles
Wharton, lined up in a way which is
very satisfactory to the Quaker ex-
perts. Woodruff, Wharton, Minds,
Colbert, Dickson and Boyle are ali
that remain Of last years team, but
the aptitude Of the recruits is said to
have displayed itself in a dozen differ
ent ways. Minds and Colbert will
probably again play half back and
Dickson and Boyle ends in all proba-
bility. Minds will probably do the
kicking for half back, so that full back
will then go to the man who can do
the best work at line bucking
The Harvard team will be under the
direction of Capt. Edgar Wrighting-
ton. The eleven will contain some new
material, the worth of which is as yet
largely a matter of conjecture. Prac-
ttce under coach Waters was COM
menced a week or so ago and will be
kept up conscientiously until Oct 3,

A question frequently asked of bicycle
agents nowadays is: What will you allow
me on my wheel in exchange for an 1897
tandem. when they are ready for distribu-
tion?" Agents everywhere have had this
query propounded to them until they have
become convinced that next season will be
tandem season with a vengeance. One of
the novelties in the tandem line that has al
ready been prepared and exhibited is so con-
structed in such manner that the rear
rider has an unobstructed view and perfect
control Of the steering. A prominent L. A.
". official recently took tandem ride with
his wife, who is considerably larger than he
Asked upon his return what he saw on the
the trip his reply was: Nothing at all of
the country, but plenty of balloon sleeves
and my wffe's curls.'' The new wheel oh
vfates this condition and that is one reason
why 1T will become popular. The rear crank
hanger is raised ~ inches over the line be-
tween wheel eenters, while the front crank
hanger is dropped ~ inches below, placing
the rear rider in a position in which he has
clear view. The strong arched bracfng
OF the rear crank hanger lends an unusual
rigidity to the whole construction by which
steering, especially at sharp turns is much
facilitated, whipping Of the chains and SWAY
ing of the frame being avoided and restful
feeling of security impaired to the riders.

pedal without any difficulty on either up
stroke or downstroke, and in dismounting the
