ZELCS MAY TAKE THEIR INNINGS.

Should the Zulus seize the opportunity
offered by the T~ransyaal war to strike
for freedom, England would have her
hands full. Should the bold Basutos join
arms with their fierce cousins, South AZ
RIGA would become hot soil for the British
foot for many long months to come.
Both OF these uprisings are threatened;
both are greatly feared. The Zulu situa-
ton in particular is watched with anx-
ious eye. England for a while was over
matched in the last Zu1u war, and vic
tory was brought in the end with rivers
of English blood. Scarcely any greater
misfortune could come just now than an
uprising such as this.

A Marvellous Scientific Discovery.
THE GREA DIR. GODDARD SAYS THAT THE MOUNTAINS UNDERNEATH
THE SEA ARE AS FULL Q F GOLD. AND SILVER, COPPER AND
COAL, AS ANY OF THE MOUNT AIMS THAT TOWER ABOVE
THE LAND.

The earth as it is known to-day is by
no means the earth of oar grandfathers.
during the century thai is now drawing
SO rapidly to a close men have examined
the earth more closely than ever before
ana they have discove red more facts
about Its composition and it's construction
than We're ever dreamed of by the most
visionary Of scientists during all the CEN
turles that mad passed. But in spite
OF an this man has only just commenced
to discover the secrets that Dame Nature
mas Kept locked so tightly in her breast
for all the millions of years that have
elapsed since the time when the globe
that we lnhabit was a mass of heat. a
ball OF raging fire tossing about in space.
During the past hundred years man has
made many discoveries. He has found
new forces in nature and he has earned
how to adapt them to his uses. He has
penetrated towards the center of the
earth and from vast depths has brought
forth the material that has helped to
make his race rich and comfortable and
he is just beginning to learn that this
great store Of mineral Wealth., vast as it
once seemed to him, actually represents
but a small portion of the treasure that
the earth contains. Just as the pru-
dent parent put money in the savings
bank for the use of his children bountiful
Nature has made thisd deposit for our fu-
ture necessities. Hidden within the
earth she placed the gold, silver, the coal.

ucts, trusting that man would invent

Grated and one may now ride in electric
cars through solid tunnels of coal that
extend far beneath the waters of the
great ocean
IN the same ann cope is now be-
ing mined beneath the waters of Lake
superior. Long ago the veins in the
Calumet II Hecla mines carried the
workmen out under the great lake and
the work of mining the metal is carrying
them further beneath the surface each
day.
In Wales tin is being mined far beneath
the sea and in many localities oil wells
are being worked under the salt water.
All this points to the fact that man has
a great work before him. If such vast
wealth is to be found under the water
can any limit be placed Upon the minera
treasure of the earth when more han
tWo-thlrds of its surface is as yet uneX-
plored. Before this mineral store can be
exhausted 1t VIII be necessary for us ia

mining engineers have mastered this
problem there VIII probably be no reason
to fear a shortage in any metal for count

| Let us uppose for arguments sake,
however. that no such wealth of mate
rial had been discovered. Let us imagine
that there was danger of coming to the
end of our mineral supply within a CEN
fury or two. would we have any right
to suppose that the people of the earth
would suffer p%rivation owing to the lack
of such metals? The discovery of cleo
tricity has simplified the fuel problem

OVER THE GOAL.
AND THE CHANCES THE DFFERE Mt TEAMS HAVE OF ACCOMPLISH
ING THE FEAT A sUFFIC lent NUMBER OF TIMES
TO WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

The football season of 1899 is now we'll
under way and the enthusiastic followers
of the game have already commenced to
predict all kinds of results for the sea-
sons work. While it is of course too
early in the year to judge of such final
results with any accuracy, there is one
thing that is certainly apparent, and that
Is that there has been no falling off in
the popular interest in the game. The
season of 1898 was chiefly distinguished
for poor work by nearly all Of the
elevens. In aseball poor work has had
a most depressing effect upon the game
and many persons feared that the effect
of such lax playing upon football would
sQ the same.
In spite of their fears, however, the
public has responded molly at every good
contest, and it must be admitted that the
work done by the players themselves has
been of a character to warrant such sup
port. While it is as yet impossible to
tell just what the end of the season will
bring forth there is reason to nope that
the results will be far higher than those
of last year. If such is the case it will
be due entirely to the fact that football
managers have been striving as never
before to ascertain just what character
istics are necessary to meet each point Of
the play successfully and to find men
whose physical condition is such as to
enable them to fill those positions with
credit to the team.
OF course it is difficult to find enough
comparatively perfect men to fill all the
positions in all the teams acceptably. If
this We're not so we should V perfect
football But still the fact emains that
the players show a better average this
year thar for some time past, and this
result will undoubtedly be improved upOn
just as long as the directors of the vaTi-
Gus teams continue to insist that the
game is not only a game but a science.
When played for amusement only dete-
rioratlon is inevitable. Thu history OF
the past few years proves that fact con-
clusively. If scientific principles are in
sisted upon there are no limits to the
future achievements of the players.
OF course one of the most important
factors in the team is the captain, anG
the man who holds this position accept,
ably must be a person of quick percep-
ton and wide experience. He must keeI
fully in touch and sympathy with his
men. He must gain their confidence sc
that they will feel that whatever he does
is for the best interests of the club. II
he thinks that he can improve the team
by varying players or positions or by in
PRODUCING new blood, he must not hest
tate to act Immediately. At the same
time he must rave a large measure OF
patience and good temper In the field
the captain has sole control of his men
and is responsible for their disposition
and play. He must be firm with them
Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-11-11

and keep them thoroughly under control,
but, at the same time he must try to
maintain friendly relations with and be-
tween each and all. With a few quiet
words he can point out the mistakes OF
each, and he must insist upon the drop
ping of all little grievances until after
the game. If the team is to be success
full the players must show unquestion-
ing loyalty to their captain. They must
obey his orders and carry out his wishes
unhesitatingly.
During the Progress of the game the
greatest responsibilities rest upon the
captain. Not only must be become thor
oughly acquainted with the character Of
the work performed by his own team
and decide if it is up to its best stand
ard, but he must also look for all weak
places in the enemy's ranks and see that
his men are directed to play into such
places. He must not hesitate to avail
himself of all opportunities that are Of
fered, and if his team succeeds in get
ting the upper hand he must try to
strengthen his position as much as pos
sible. To strengthen a position does not
imply that he must strengthen his de-
Tense. On the other hand it simply
means that he must watch the move-
ments of his opponents and adopt such
tactics as will best counteract any move
that they may attempt.
The labor of bringing an u~nOrganiZed
mass of gridiron material into such shape
that it becomes what may be termed a
compact unit is no simple matter. 1t is,
of course. first necessary to learn the
requisites of each position, after which
the material at hand may be adjusted as
near this measure as possible. For in
stance, there is the fullback. The idea
man for that position is one who is rather
, tall and lanky. In this position it is legs
that count; but the fullback must also
be made to feel that he is to receive the
full support of his running mates, the
halfbacks. They should be selected from
men h are somewhat stout and heavy
and yet their power for speed should no,
be sacrificed to their stockiness. Ability
for quick, true judgment, joined Will
u%nf1inching determination and an abun
liant store Of physical strength, makes
the ideal halfback.
In the position of quarterback the mer
are generally small, large frames being
inconsistent with the strategy and Gun
ningness required of men in this part OF
the game. The position of center, now
(eer, should be held by a man who is botf
alert and heavy. While much of his
work resolve itself down to a survival
Of the %fittest, he must be as quick in ac-
ton as he is steady, and must be able to
devise a variety of means Of breaking
through his opponent.
The ideal men for the position of guard
are also men of weight. but there mus
be no l~aziness in their composition. Like

the center. they are required to discover
many ways and means of breaking
through. and the more agility they can
display the better it Yill be for the work
OF the team. Their defensive work con-
sists in protecting the opening between
center and themselves. and yet at the
same time they must assist the tackle in
protecting the opening between the two.
Some years ago the only requisite for
a guard was weight and strength, but
the day of the man of beef alone has
passed. Today their offensive work is
almost as important as their defensive.
They must afford protection to the quar-
terbacks and they are obliged to vie with
the ends IN getting down the field on
kicks. The duty of interference is also
one of the important parts of the work
Of the guard, so, as may be imagined,
ideal guard is a difficult man to pro-
cure.
The position of tackle is n of the
tackle should be a heavy man, and yet
he should combine a great amount OF
agility and dash with his weight. He is
the man who must protect his end and
backs, that is, he must not permit them
to pound themselves against a hopeless
charge, but must get in and break the
mass formation. He must block and
block hard. He must interfere when IN
reference is called for, and above all. he
must be quick enough of Wit to know
I JUST VIA 10 w n 1 lily lIIlS
| Equally as important is the position of
| end rush. a position that requires a Pc
culiar a~daptability that it is difficult to
find. To be an ideal c a man must
have experience, but the physical requi-
| sites are a wiry nature with an ability
to sprint faster than any other member
of the team. AS the result it is generally
' found advisable to consider speed rather
I than weight in picking a man for this
position. In whatever kind of play the
end is engaged, however, his task is most
arduous. He must assist his tackle in
bringing down opposing runners and he
must be or the alert for a fumbled ball.
When it is fumbled he must spring upon
it with the avidity of a tiger. He must
sprint. He must meet the interference
of the opposing line and he has equally
as important roles to play whether he
be called upon for offensive or defensive
work.
Such are the requisite parts of a first
class football team, and when such mate
rial as that which has been suggested has
been obtained it rests entirely with the
coach and the captain to mould it into
shape to makes most acceptable appear
ance upon the field.
