MEDICS WILL PLAY TARkIO

sure-Enough Foot Ball.
LOCAL TEAM WORKING HARD DAILY
Admirers of the Embryo Doctors
ConGdent They Can beat
Any Eleven on the
GridirOn.

Coach Danny Taylor and his clinic OF
sawbones will go down to Tarkio, Mo-,
Saturday and proceed to show the Mis-
sourians that the Omaha Medics are the
real thing when 1t comes to playing foot
ball. The Tarkio team has been consider.
ably strengthened since its game with the
Omaha High school, which was played un-
der dscouraging circumstances because of
the watery. Shiny condition of the field.
In one half the Missourians beat the plucky
High school lads by a score OF to 0.
But since then Tarkio has played the
State university team and held the strong
university players down to score of 8
TO o. so there is every reason for believing
that the team now is one worthy the dis
tinction the Medics have given 1t in con-
senting to a game
THE Tarklo boys are determined to
blight our record Of 67 points against our
opponents and our goal line still un-
crossed" said Coach Danny Taylor but
We are equally determined and the pros
poets are that we will return home with
still moro laurels in our caps. We recog-
nize in Tarkio drst-rate team and
realize that careful. conscientious playing
Will be necessary in our ranks to protect
our goal line unsullied by an opponent s
score and pile a few more scores on top of
the records we have already made against
our adversaries."
Team Practicing Daily.
The team is practiclEg hard every day
down at Ninton Street park and each
afternoon the bleachers are occupied by
an enthusiastic crowd of rooters who have
come to believe that the Medics are GER
tainly inv;ncible and we'll equipped to
tackle any team in the country. not ex-
cepting the famous Hawkeyes. from Iowa
City. Tarkio and Rush Medcs, these same
optimistic rooters believe, will be prone
made for the local medical students And
even though these opinions may be a lit
tie too roseate- -hued there is no question
ing the improvement that has come over
the MedicD in their last two or three weeks
of practice. Particular attention has been
given to defensive work and especially to
interference and the team has developed
wonderfully in this respect.
Left Tackle Allen. who has been out of
the game for over month, will be back
in his old position in the Tarkio game and
his comrades expect him TO sustain his
reputation of fierce and reliable playing
The lineup will be practically unchanged
from what 1t has been all season. The
back field will be made up OF Captain
Moore. quarterback; Kerr. right half; Le-
Mar left half and Taylor. fullback.

Hands of MIR. Fowler.

Washington, Aug. 4.-The state de-
partment has issued the following:
The state department has received a
dispatch from Mr.. Fowler, consul al
Che Foo, dated at night of August 2,
stating that when he learned from the
Shanghai papers that doubts were
entertained of the genuineness of the
Conger cipher telegram, he wired, on
the 9th, to the governor of Shan
Tung to send him the original by
courier. The governor at once COM
piled with his request, sending a spe-
cial postman, who, by travelling night
and day for five days, made the jour-
ney, which in ordinary times would
have required twelve days. He de.
livered to Mr.. Fowler the original Of
the Conger cipher dispatch. It is
signed by Nj. Conger and dated the
18th of July. It is precisely the same
as the message received at the state
department with several words pre-
fixed which came in an unintelligible
form to the Chinese legation here.
The dispatch in its complete form says
that the members of the American le-
CATION had been besieged for a month
in the British legation. Mr. Fowler
has no doubt of the genuiness of the
dispatch.
