Movement to Have Them at Como
New Years.

A movement is on foot to secure for
st. Paul the national amateur skating
contest for the coming winter. The pro-
ject was given impetus at meeting of
loca! skaters at the Windsor last even
ing, resulting in the organization of the
Northwestern Skating association A. D.
Smith was selected as president, and Fred
Perkins, secretary and treasurer. George
Sudheimer and Harry Perkins constitute,
with the officers, the executive committee.
Immediate applications VIII be made to
the National Skating association at New
York for the national amateur contest to
be held at Como New Years day. The ma
tional association has in the past favored
the West for these contests, as there is
no assurance that the contestants will
not have to go on snow shoes or boats, If
the races are pulled off in the East.
1t was decided at the meeting last even
ing to hold the races New Years day. at
Lake Como, and Sunday, the day pre-
vious, professional events Of Importance
will be arranged, making two days Of
racing. -4 t5f,t.s
The championship amateur events will
consist of a third, half-mile and five and
ten-mile races. In addition to the local
men, the events will attract speedy
skaters from all over the Northwest, and
a number of Manitoba enthusiasts are
expected to participate in the professional
events on Sunday.
Another meeting will be held within a
short time, when events and prizes will
be announced, If favorable reply is re-
ceived from the East.

OFF FOR CHICAGO.
Gopher Team Starts for the Windy
City.


City.
The university football team left last
evening fer Chicago. where it will play
the last game of the season against the
Chicago university team tomorrow after
noon. Nineteen players, including the
following, were in the party: Scandrett,
Cole, Evans, Page. Cameron, Glover,
Knowlton, Dobie, Otte. 1Aune, Tiff, Grey,
Ke:nholz, Rogers, TWeet, Lafans Fos-
seen, c. C. Hoyt and B. Hoyt. Besides
the members of the team, the coaches
and trainer, few faithful rooters wei
included
When the teams meet tomorrow after
moor on Marshall field 1t will be for the
first time since 1895. when the maroon
and gold defeated the maroon by a score
of 10 to 6. This fall the Chicago team
has not suffered defeat, but has beaten
Cornell and has tied Pennsylvania
Northwestern university, which three
weeks ago defeated Minnesota, was Il
week later beaten by Chicago by score
of 76 to 0, and Beloit, which tied Minna-
sofa, was beaten by a score of So to D.
The varsity team has, however, i'm
proved tenfold since the games with
Northwestern and Reloit, and Chicago
will find that she has a very different
team than either Of them TO play. The
men are determined to DO their best and
they and their coaches and supporters
are confident that thay will put up a bet
ter game than they did even last Satur-
day against Wisconsin.
Glover will be in the game tomorrow,
and Knowlton, who made such a fine
showing in last Saturdays game as full
back, will probably be played at right
half. Evans will play the ether half and
the back field will be in the best condition
it has shown this season.
Chicago university has made arrange
ments for the attendance of the biggest
crowd that has ever witnessed a football
game in the windy city. 1t has been
planned to admit the students of the high
schools, some 10000 in number, free.
Coach Stage has been giving Hamill,
Kennedy, Henry, Eldridge and Place
some hard practice in catching punts, as
he expects that Minnesota will play a
kicking game, and Chicago has been rath-
er weak in this respect this season.

Princet9n's defense will prove formidable.
Comparing the Yale line with Princeton,
Yale's center is weaker, and her ends are
rot as sure and speedy as Palmer, but
Mcbride is thought to be better punter
than Keller Poe and Palmer are about
up to last years form Of play H. La
thrope and Roper are good substitutes in
case their services are needed. Hille-
brand and PeH are apparently in as good
form as they were last year. Booth has
been found to be the only available man
for center.
In case Of accident to Quarterback
Hutchinson, Duncan and Burke will be on
hand TO run the team. Both are coed
quarterbacks. Knight, G. Lathrope and
McClave are fairly good halfback sub
stitUtes MATHS is almost equal 10
Wheeler as a fullhack, and IT is prac-
tically g toss UP as to which will be
given the preference in the Yale game.
With the many discouragements the Tig-
ers have experienced during their two
months OF gridirOn routine, the team is
by nc means in a stale or worn out condi-
ton, and although Yale is generally
looked upon as the winner, there is
chance of Princeton's success.

DEFENDS BRAVE MEN.
Gen. Funston Says Correspondents
Took Chanceacof Being Shot.


Took Chanceacof Being Shot.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 23.-Before
sailing for Manila today Gen. Frederick
Funston took occasion to make definite
denial of the truth Of recent stories re-
garding himself, Col. Wilder S. Metcaf
and Mai Bishop, in5 which Lieut.. Gala
han. a former officer of the Twentieth
Kansas, and Others Of that regiment are
credited with charging these officers with
many sins of commission and omission,
including the charges against Metcalf and
Bishop Of shooting defenseless Filipino
prisoners.
But 1 am not through with this affair
yet" added the general. 81 know the
charges against Metcalf and Bishop are
despicable and malicious lies, and L In
tend to prove them such.
Gen. Funston's denials make interesting
reading when in his statement he touches
on some of the Incidents In the Philip
pine campaign which helped to make him
self and staff famous.
"At no time at the battle of Guiguinto,'
says he did I lie down, except once,
and that ten seconds, under especially
furious fire from the enemy. Then l was

MIGHT PROVOKE TROUBLE.
Why Admiral SchIey VIII Not Go to
South Africa.

WASHINGTON, Nov 23.-That it has
never been the intention of the navy de-
partment to permit Rear Admiral Schley
to proceed to South Africa is shown by
the official instructions given him by the
department on Monday last, In which the
secretary specially 1nstructs Admiral
Schley not to direct any Of the vessels Of
his command to proceed to African wa
tiers without specific instructions from
the department.
The state department does not desire to
have any American men-of-war in South
African waters at present, believing that
the circumstances might be detrimental
to American interests, and the navy de-
partment therefore will not allow any
vessel to proceed to South African waters,
unless the situation in South Africa
should change materially.
The instructions to Rear Admiral
Schley are very disappointing to his
friends. They had believed that the de-
partment would permit him to use his
own judgment.
It is said at the navy department that
the Discrimination of the department to
order Rear Admiral Schley to South At
rica has no connection whatever with the
personality of that officer. Whoever
commanded the South Atlantic squadron
at this juncture would, it is said, receive
similar instructions, for it is regarded
as matter of national policy to refrain
from sending warships to either the Cape
or to Delagoa bay or Durham. 1t is felt
to be unwise for the United States to in
itiate the sending 61~warships to South
Africa now. There can be little doubt
that such action on our part would in
stantly be followed by the naval powers
of the continent, and French Russian
and German fleets would follow each
other, to the complication of the situa-
ton. 1t is not to be learned that this
attitude of our government has been OBJ
served as the result Of any intimation
from the British government
The itinerary of the southwark cruise
of the Chicago is thus set out by Admiral
Schley, In answer to the instructions Of
the navy department.: Leave New York
Saturday, Nov. 25; arrive at San Lucia,
Dec. 2; leave st. Lucia, Dec. 8; arrive at
Bahia, Brazil, Dec. Is; leave Bahia, Dec.

ELEVENS INDULGE IN THEIR
FINAL PRACTICE
YALE IS THE FAvORITE

Tigers, However, Have IA Chance TO
Win, as the Team Is in Excellent
CORditiOn-Capt. Mcbride, of Yale,
Does Great Punting In Secret
Practice - Princeton VIII Send
One Thousand Rioters.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 23.-With
the Princeton game only two days off the
Yale football coaches this afternoon or
dered their team out for what proved to
be almost as long a days work as in the
early part of last week. 1t was far hard
er football than yesterdays lineup, and
more of it. Nevertheless, the players
stood the ordeal well, and came out after
the days work feeling in fine condition.
The earlier part of the practice was be-
hind closed gates. In this work 1t is
learned that the substitutes were sent
through the Princeton formations so far
as they are known. They were worked
with some effect though the varsity was
able to stop than, and once or twice to
stop them for losses The attacks at
tackle play were trying, but the defense
was worked Up well and the tackles were
not unnerved by the onslaught nor boWled
over as was feared That the Yale Of
fensive is stronger than ii was against
Harvard was evident.
The feature of the practice in secret.
however. was the punting of Capt. Nc
Bride. Never before this season, nor
previously, has he equaIed it. One of his
punts measured seventy yards There
was no disgusting the citation which the
coaches felt over the general work of the
afternoon. .- g. .----..
In the open work the rush line was not
the same as in the secret work. nor as in
the Harvard game. Gould and Winter
we're at ends, Allen IN Stillman's place at
tackle, but back of the line Keane and
Chadwick were at halfback, Fincke at
quarterback and Mcbride at fullback.
Keane played fine game, being in every
play. Chadwick's work in the close for
nation was splendid.
The practice tomorrow will probably BE-
very light, mainly signal work The play
ers feel, however, that If necessary, they
can stand a good stiff drill,

stated tonight that F. Fl. Watkins has an
option on the Indianapolis Base Ball club

My option includes the franchise and
players, and all of the tangible property.

be completed, in all probability, at that
time
Mr.. Watkins could not be induced to
give any figures as to the price paid for
the club. 1t will be In the neighborhood
of $4,000, however. Comiskey refused a
sum close to this for his st. Paul club.
and Vanderbeck, of Detroit, refused an
offer of $4,000 for the Detroit club and
its park. The following players are pur-
chased, being under reserve to the club
at the present time: Foreman, Kellum,

which has been extended to me-"
The evidence Of good will and kindness
indicated by the letter from the commit

time, and he embraced the opportunity
offered by their perusal to reiterate his
thanks to the people who have stood by
