nerve. Not the stuff which can reel a
line back after one or two whacks, but
the kind of men who do not use them
selves up in one or two performances
The halfback, next to possessing nerve
needs to be fast. Trojan strength is
not necessary where the half Is quick
mover. The slower he is the stronger
he should be to make Roadway against
extra opposition. Fleet backs who have
nerve are preferable to runners OF
moderate ability. If a team has only
one fleet man and this player lacks tha
courage to hit the line successfully, 1t
is best to have the other position filled
by a first-class line bueker. although
he may be worthless for any other kind
of work. A slow back makes it neces-
sary that the tackle and ends who are
interfering for him go slow. The fast
back will not delay his interference in
this way. Strength is also necessary,
but it comes after nerve and fleetness. y

flew over his head, but did not arrest
its progress. Another Boulder man fell
on the bail back Of the goal line. The
claim was made that the touching of
the ball. which put all opposing players
inside. made the play a safety. Referee
John Babcock refused to allow the claim,
saying that the impetus wcs given the
ball by the men Of the opposing side,
hence was touchback. This dispute
was still unsettled before the Boulder
Golden game of last Saturday, and
Coach Folsom had instructed his men
to return by a punt any bail that
crossed the goal line on kick off. so
that there would be no chance for dis
pute. Merten's punt, which was so
short that Golden nearly made another
touchdown, was in accordance with
these instructions. In the meantime
letter had been sent to Walter Camp,
asking him to decide the point.
Mr.. Camp rules that the touching of
the ball made no difference, and Refe-
rec Babcocks decision was correct. His
definition of the difference between
touchback and safety is this:
If the impetus is given by the side
assaulting the goal and the ball keeps
on bounding after being touched only
and not stopped the play is a touch
hack. If the progress of the bail is
brought to full stop by a player de-
Tending the goal, and for any reason a
new impetus given it that carries it
over and 1t is secured by one of the
Soafs defenders. then it is a safety"

Captain Benson's ability to take ad-
his opponents, clearly outgeneraling
them at every point, made a vast diff
ference in the result Benson played an
ends back game throughout and with
his light weights made a remarkable
showing against the heavy odds.
Whether he will be able to repeat the
operation is mere matter of specula-
ton. If the conditions should not be
materially changed there is no reason
why he should not again stand off the
big men in Hooper's line and in any
event there can be no doubt the game
will be one of the most fiercely con-
tested and scientifically played games
ever seen in Butte. The prospect on
the face of things is that Butte should
win.
The lineup will be much the same
as in the last game, though there will
be some changes. Hooper will probably
replace Sam Davis at center. This will
give Butte a formidable trio al center,
Clemens, Hooper and Sullivan, any one
of whom will tip the scales we'll above
200 pounds. Against them Montana
will have Leblanc, Carl Davis and Liv-
ingston, considerable lighter than their
opponents, but all hard and fast play
ers.
Herbold and Keller will line up
against Slater and Grady at tackle.
Here Montana has an advantage, as
Slater is easily the best tackle in Butte.
Keller is heavier than Grady, but the
latter is much the faster.
On the ends Butte Will play Dan Nc
Leod and Purcell against Jack Mcleod
and Dan O'Donnell, and honors should
be about even.
Back of the line Butte will play Fitz-
patrick. Mahoney and Griffin. strong
aggregation of backs, but no stronger
than Braham. Jack Sullivan and Van
Meter; and at quarter. Montana will
| have some, If not a great deal, the
| best of it, with Benson against Brown,
Benson being easily the best quarter
| back Butte ever saw.
The friends of both teams are claim
| ing victory for their favorites in adj
| vance and whatever the result. it will
| be a game it will do ones heart good

Punting Is an Art in This
Years Game OF Football

The list of sports which gain a space
in popular regard these days, locally
and nationally, is narrowing percepti-
bly,. AS the weather grows more rigor-
Gus the sport changes.
Just now football of course, is in
it's glory. The big teams have had a
success or a defeat or two of both
kinds, and have learned many things.
They have picked out new men here
and there, they have learned some new
things about tactics and they are work
ing steadily for the games which from
to-day on count more than ever for
championship honors.
There is one very noticeable feature
about '99 football, and that Is the
amount of punting. 1t would really
look as though the word is beginning to
fit the game again and that there Is
on the move revulsion, a decadence

A Press Censorship in
Regard to Football News

The football game, generally. and in
the case at hand particularly, seems to
be conducted by those in charge with
as great care and secrecy as the war
in South Africa. In the matter of press
censorship Otis is above all the fore
most next comes the British war Of
flee, and lastly the managers who look
after the affairs of the football team.
the latest thing in censorship, the
very, very latest, indeed, is the censor
ship of football news. The meat of this
censorship business is contained in
the following excerpt from dispatches
under Princeton date, sent just prior
TO last weeks game. That part of the
dispatch relating to censorship says:

The Chicago Maroons expect their
hardest game of the season with the
Brown university team on Thanksgiv-
ing day. Captain Kennedy and his men
have some apprehensions as to the re-
suit Of the contest. Brown has been
defeated but twice this yearly Har-
ward and Princeton. Brown has in
Richardson one of the best playing half
backs in the country, while Captain
Pratt at quarter and Hapgood and
Sheehan at tackles are stars. In

pounds heavier per man. In quickness,

Camp. who may be classed in football
as Father" Chadwick is in baseball.
Mr. Camp says:
"a touchdown is made when the ball.
in possession Of a player guarding his
own goal, is declared dead by the refe-
rec, any part of it being on, over or be-
hind the goal line, provided the impetus
which sent it to or across the lines was
given by an opponent"
Reading the second rule on "out of
bounds caused the disagreement. The
latter reads:
IF the ball is kicked so that it goes
out of bounds before crossing the OPP
ponents' goal line it shall belong to the
opponents. If, however, it strikes any
player who is inside and then goes out
of bounds, it shall belong to the player
who first obtained possession of it,

in that institution on Saturday, led to
the arrest tonight of four keepers.

have to answer to a charge of murder
The arrests were made on the strength
of the report of the coroner's physician
who conducted the post norton and
reached the conclusion that Mcclure
met death by violence.
Scarcely a spot on the dead mans
body was free from bruises which ap-
parently were the result. not of blows
of club or Onther instrument. but of
pressure from the knees of the attend
ants. From his head to his knees, deep
blue dents We're discernible on the flesh.
Six of the ribs on the right side We're
broken. The intestines had broken
through the abdomenninal membrane,
while the membrane itself had been
torn almost to ribbons. The kidneys
and liver had been badly bruised and
although there was no fracture of the
skull, there was large abrasion at the
back of the head.

WOMAN IS RESPONSIBLE.
Self-professed Saint Believed to Have
Stirred Up Yaqui Indians.

Santa Teresa, the Mexican womanswho
has long been revered as saint by the
natives of Chihuahua and Sonora, and
who is believed to possess the power
of healing the sick by the laying on
of hands, is believed to ba more or
less responsible for the present out
break among the Yacui Indians.
George Harold, an old Texas ranger,
now policeman of Ell Paso. says that
he is confident that Santa Teresa is
responsible for the outbreak. Harold

was inscribed one of her prayers.
After the Palomas raid, the Mexican
government made an effort to appre-
bend her, as she was looked upon as a
dangerous character. She escaped to

BRUSH WITH THE MoRos.
American Sailors Attacked By Ma

Washington, Aug. THE following
dispatch was received from Admiral
Watson, in command of the Asiatic
station:
Secretary Navy.-Nazro. the COM
mander of the Manila, on July re-
established lighthouse at Cape Mel
vile. Balabac, Philippine islands;
hoisted flag with appropriate honors.
July Is, on his return, thirteen MOrOs,
under arms, were found to be in pos
session of the lighthouse. Landing
party, commanded by Ensign f. l..
Bissett. encountered resistance. No
casualties in our party. Loss in killed,
one officer and one man of the enemy.
Diegago Manilo, chief of the Balabac

soners, two escaped.
Chief of party was very unpopular
with the people of Balabac. Philippine
islands, owing to fear of him. Light
has been restored. Manila has landed
force. Charleston is on her way to
Balabac; will render all assistance pos
sible. WATSON"
The island of Balabac. the scene of
the brush with the Moros. detailed in
Admiral Watsons dispatch. is situated
southeast of the island OF Palawan,
which is the most westerly of the Phil
ippine islands and directly west of the
which was re-eStab lished by Lieuten-
ant Commander Nazro, shows for
twenty-five miles. and is regarded as
OF considerable Importance to naviga-
ton. being in direct line between Sing
apore and the straits settlements and
the islands to the north.
The island is twenty-five miles long
and according to information in the
possession of the department, has but
population of LOO. These are de-
scribed in Admiral Watsons dispatch
as Moros, the name applied to the fierce
natives of the Sulu group. They are
Mohammedans and are regarded as the
most warlike people in the Philippines.
The capital. Balibac. has a popula
ton of 200. The Spanish government
established a military post there in
1857. 1t consists of barracks, a hos
pital and an armed fort.
The Manila. the vessel described in
the dispatch. is a captured transport
Its mission in that vicinity is unknown
at the navy department. 1t is evident
from the dispatch that the Manila has
left a landing force there to guard the
light and that the Charleston, which
is on its way there, will see that the
landing party receives such reinforce
ments as may be deemed necessary.
