of SO to o. The next game was the hardest
OF the season, played with Chicago univer-
sity, and resulting in tie score Of to 8.
This is the only score made against Iowa
this year.
Chicago made its points on a place kick,
while the Iowans earned theirs on a touch
down with the ball in the hands OF little
Edison, left halfback. Just a week later
Penn college OF oskaloosa added 35 points
to Iowas list, and was followed by the Rush
Medics Of Chicago with II. Five more were
taken from the Iowa Agricultural college Of
Ames and then came the Nebraska game,
played In Omaha.
OF this game the Iowa boys speak in the
highest terms, especially Of the gentlemauly
conduct of the Nebraska players, and the
strong game they put up. One of 1owa's
players speaking OF the Nebraska game,
declared that in spite OF the score Of 30 to O
Nebraska played a game nearly as hard as
Chicago University. Grlnnell college went
down to defeat by 16 to 0, and Knox college
OF Galesburg, Ill, followed one week ago
by raising the figure to 33 The final game
OF the year will be played with the Uni
versity OF Illinois on Thanksgiving day at
Rock Island. Illinois foot ball experts have
already conceded the game to Iowa by a
score OF about "a to 0.
1owa's team for next year will probably
be exactly the same as it is now, with one
exception. Fred A. Williams, who lives at
Neola, will graduate from the Law depart
ment next June. Plenty of candidates from
the second team will try for Williams place
at left end. Next year Iowa will hunt for
bigger prey. Games with Wisconsin, Michi-
gan and at least one big eastern school have
been spoken for, though nothing definite is
contracted. DR.. Knife will remain as coach
and will pursue the same methods as those
of this year.

CAUSES OF DECLINE IN CRICKET.

Rules Must he Made More Popular in
Order to Receive Support.
OMAHA, Nov. 24.-To the Sporting Editor
OF The Bee: When you asked me to give a
few thoughts relative to amateur sports in
Scotland i little imagined that / would
stir up hornets nest in cricketing circles
here, and still less did l think that any one
would accuse me of words l never uttered,
Mr.. Simms would do we'll to carefully read
what l did write, and not imagine what
never wrote.
did say that in Scotland the pepole were
dissatisfied with the present rules of cricket
and that in England, to lesser degree. the
same feeling existed. ] say so still, and Mr..
Simms merely corroborates my statement
when he acknowledges that complaints have
been made in the newspapers relative to
rules l never said cricket in England has
declined in public favor" that is what Mr..
Simms imagined ] said. "As an English
man" Mr.. Simms may find cricket as II is
at present played to his liking, but | beg to
differ with him, and hold that the game is
too slow for the average American citizen
and will never have the support of the
public.
Mr.. Simms' main reason for the decline
OF cricket in Scotland is evidently based on
too long sojourn In England and Council
Bluffs. when he says that 1t is owing to
"the conformation of the ground" For Mr.
Simms' benefit ! might mention that there
are several hilly spots in Scotland, but
also some few patches suitable for a cricket
pitch.
Mr.. simms' logic is somewhat faulty when
he declares that the rules OF the game
should not be changed for the spectators
sake, who know nothing about the game and
contribute nothing TO its support. He puts
the cart before the horse. I say change the
rules SO that for both players and spectators
the game will be faster and more interest
ing, and the public will very soon not only
understand the game but aid very ma
terially in its financial support,
thank Mr. Simms for his good wishes
toward the game of golf. The Kountze Place
golf club is now organized, and bids fair TO
establish itself in the good graces OF amateur
sporting circles in this city and should Mr.
simms desire TO join the club. after he Is

The rights and privileges committee of the
League of American Wheelmen is again deep
in work, preparing bills for the state di-
visions to introduce into the legislatures and
giving legal advice to the officials. The legal
enactments secured by the league have done
more than anything else to make the or
ganization the creditor of all wheemen, and
the work being done at the present time in
dicates that there will be more activity in
that direction this year than ever before.
But the league alone cannot accomplish
everything for the benefit of wheelmen. 1t
must have the support of individual men,
berships. Every wheelman is interested in
the laws that govern his favorite pastime
and for that reason should also be interested
in the League of American Wheelmen.

Wheelmen who have had more or less ex-
perience with the tricycle. will be surprised
to know that the English government has
ordered a supply of these machines for use
in the South African war. Prominent wheel
men are of the opinion that for war purposes
the bicycle would be preferable to the three
wheel machine Good roads are absolutely
essential for comfortable riding on tricycle.,
while the wheelman on bicycle can pick his
way over almost anything, so long as he can
find a smooth place only an inch or two wide.
Under similar conditions tricycle. would
be practically useless The owner of an
old tricycle. called on local dealer the other
day to see il 1t were possible to have a
motor fitted to the tricycle.. He was in
formed that it could be done, and that the
cost would be anything from SIS to S175, ac
cording to the sort of motor he wished to
use. The wheelman had not ridden the trl-
cycle in years, and he was surprised when
he tried it. 1t was like learning to ride
all over again. The veteran explained that it
was much easier for the novice to learn to
ride the tricycle. than it was for the expert
bicycle rider. On bicycle the riders body
sways with the machine and he will in
variably adopt the same tactics when he
tries to ride tricycle., and it won't do. The
veteran bicycle rider on tricycle. for the
first time is more likely to wind up against
a tree or fence than he is to keep in the
middle of the road So il trcycles have
been sent to South Africa for oldtcne wheel
men to ride there will be some lively mix
ups until the riders learn the pecularities
of the three wheeled machine.

NEW GOLF CLUB Is LAUNCHED
Ideal Links VIII he Lnid Ont in
Kountsc PInce-Mnny Women
Enter Their Names.

Last Thursday evening the Kountze Place
Golf club was organized and the following
officers were elected: Captain, II. Lawrie;
secretary and treasurer, Miss NJ. Brolliar;
green committee, r. Young Miss H. Jaynes
and e. V. Lewis. These officers will form
board Of directors which is to have the
affairs of the club under it's control.
The meeting was very enthusiastic and
indications point to a successful club in tho
immediate future. This club is the second
to be formed in Omaha and does not in any
way interfere with the Omaha Golf club,
with links at Happy Hollow. In fact 1t is
considered that with an additional club in
Omaha much more interest will be mani
tested in the game and will lead in the flu
ture to friendly competitions between the
two clubs. One pleasing feature of the new
organization was the interest displayed by
the women members, who are quite numer-
Gus and bid fair to rival the sterner sex at
the game.
Mr.. Kountze has generously allowed the
use of Kountze reserves, in the center of
Kountze place, for golf links. The course
has been laid out in nine holes, crossing
Twentieth street four times and giving dis
tances between holes varying from $50 to 300
yards, The course is not a large one, but
at the same time is sufficient to allow of
a fair number OF shots to each hole, and the
hazards, although not of the most difficult,
will give the players plenty Of work and
trouble in avoiding and get out OF them.
To those who are not familiar with the
game OF golf it may be stated that each par
ticipant plays his or her ball against that Of
an opponent, and the party taking the least
number of shots to reach hole wins that
hole, and so on to the end of the game
Each player is dependent entirely upon him
self, and any trouble he gets into is entirely
his own making. The skill displayed in
making fine shots is duly credited to him.
One or more rounds of the links can be
played at the players option, making the
game pleasure and not burden.
1t Is the intention to enlist all the golfers
in Omaha in the club and also to invite all
those who wish to learn the game to join
the club, so that both from a golfng stand
point and numerical strength the organiza
tion may be a pronounced success.
When the links are put into thoroughly
good condition it is certain that the Kountze
Place course will be almost an ideal one,
not too difficult to a novice and hard enough
for good player to make it interesting. All
persons desiring to join may send their ap
plicatons to the secretary, Miss NJ. Brolliar,
Sixteenth and Emmett streets.

IOWA CITY, Nov 25.-(Special. iowa Is

the country which has not met defeat this
year. The other two are Harvard and Chi
cago. All three have been scored against

the result of luck, but of hard work under

coach, is Pennsylvania graduate and was
foot ball captain in 1894. He is an ardent

The bicycle trust does not differ from
other trusts in methods of business. 1t has
not yet touched the jobber and retailer,
probably because the fall is not a favorable
season to tighten the screws. But the COM
bine has already shown its purpose to
"economize' by closing two bicycle fac
tories at Toledo. The Lozier Cotton and
Viking factories in that city were absorbed
by the trust and assurances were given that
they would be operated as usual A dispatch
from Toledo says that during the recent
campaign Manager Cotton OF the Cotton
company declared in published card that
the trust would greatly increase the amount
of bicycle labor employed in Toledo, Last
week an agent of the trust arrived in the
city and a few days after the announce
ment was made that the Cotton company
and the Viking factory are to be permanent
y shut down and that the machinery will
will be transferred to the Lozier. The down
town store of the latter factory Is also
closed. This will throw out Of employment
500 workmen. Mr.. Cotton will leave the
employ of the trust at the end of the
month"
"A peculiar fact in relation to the deal
whereby the tiremakers in the cycle trust
were sWailOWeu Dy the FIiHt TuDDeT trust,
reports the New York Sun. "is that while
the bicycle men are bound not to make any
tires they are not on the other hand obliged
to buy them OF the Rubber Goods Manufac-
turing company In this particular the deal
would seem to be one offering a big loop
hole to the cycle makers. but the spirit OF
the deal will be observed, and riders who
have found wheel makers equipping their
machines with certain tires and advocating
them will probably find the same cycles
fitted with the same tires as previously. The
techniealty, however will enable the cycle
makers who desire change to make II. At
any rate, the privilege permits of an open
competition in the market. AS tires are
the most costly adjunct to a bicycle and

OF cyclists as the changes in the cycle trade

BORROWED $4,000
FOR LIBRARY.
Loan Made by Land Commission
to Meet Emergency in
Building.

Madison, Wis, July 21.-[ Special. /
The historical library commissioners have
applied to the state land commissioner
for loan Of $4O,0 900 with which to meet
payments due on the contract for the
Historical building, and at a meeting of
the land commissioners, held Thursday
afternoon, Secretary Of State Froehlich
and Treasurer Davidson being present, it
was decided to make the loan. Neglect
TO meet the payment now, the commits
sloners say, would make the contrac
VOID and, owing to the marked increase
in the prices of all kinds of building ma
terial, new contract would be expen-
slYe for the state. Atty.-Gen. Hicks,
the third member of the land commits
sion, is absent on his vacation, and AS
slstant Atty.-Gen. Buell. was asked for
an opinion as to the right of the commits
sIoners to borrow the money outside of
the state funds. He gave it as his opin-
ion that they have the right to borrow up
to the amount of $24O,O0O.
Under the first law providing an ap-
preparation for the historical building,
passed in 1895, a tax of 40 of a mill
was authorized for three years, releasing
S6O,OOO year in 1897, and this WAS eX-
tended to seven years. This provided that
FUNDS not to exceed S240, 900 could be
borrowed, either from the state funds or
from other sources, at the rate of in
terest paid by the banks. The Legisla-
ture of 1899 repealed the former laws
on the subject, except as to the levies
already made and substituted a lump
sum Of 100000, which may be borrowed
from the trust funds. Mr.. Buelps opin-
ion is that this does not repeal the pro-
vision and that an amount not exceeding
$4,000 may be borrowed outside the
state funds
