and his companion pulling a boat out into
glances behind. as Houchin's half a dozen
dogs were beating the bushes restless.y:
The word that Houchin had been located
was passed along the banks from one
officer to the other. They burst through
the willows as Houchin and his friend were
dipping "A minnow net into the water. The
officers carried their cane poles, and just
before they broke through the bushes one
OF them shouted:
Come on. you fellows! We can buy
minnows Of these men,"
Hoqchin stood in water up to his waist
and he greeted the officers with an air Of
chester strapped to his back. and he IN
stinctively reached for IL. But II was not
there. and tie officers could see It was not
a fighting humor in the old outlaw. but the
officers knew they had him cornered and he
knew IL. As they Jumped through the
bushes the Deputy Marshal and the Sheriff
drew their revolvers and demanded that
Houchin throw Up his hands.

LONDON, Nov. 26.-Truth, discussing
the effects of the decision of the stewards
of the Henley regatta to permit foreign
ers to compete in the Henley contests
which was reached last Saturday, de.
clares that the old Henley is gone ana
new Henley reigns in it's stead 1t must
be recognized once and for all, says
Turth, that it is the business of English
oarsmen to defend the grand challenga
and the stewards cups from foreign com.
petition. The Americans are interested in
winning the grand challenge cup, says
the paper, and will spare no effort or ex.
pense so to do and, if, as it is believed to
be certain, Pennsylvania university
adopts the English style of rowing, the
danger of defeat will be appreciated by
all oarsmen.
The article argues that the marvellous
results obtained by the American col
lege crews Is due to the fact that while
the English crews train in ill-fitted and
heavy boats, with prehistoric oars and
worn out buttons, the Americans use the
best of everything from the start.
Henceforth this must be changed; the
jealousies between the English clubs mist
be ended and these clubs must give I'D
their best men, adopt best appliances AND
train for one event instead of rowing in
several The club crew and the club entry
must also become subordinate to the IN,
ternational crew and the international
entry.

Lightweight Champions Friends Of

Man, but Find Few
Takers.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-After eight days
Of hard training for his battle with
young Corbett'' OF Denver, Col, Terry
Mclioyern took a ten-n1ile ran IN the VI
yinity of Jerome Park this afternoon,
end despite the fact that IT was freezing
cold, with a strong wind blowing, he COW
cred the distance in ninety minutes.
When he reached his training quarters
| he was examined by physician, who
declared that the little champion was in
perfect trim for the coming contest.
Several people have Informed Mccoy
ern that in young Corbett'' he will meet
the toughest and most rugged opponent
of his ring career. He replied to several
questions as to how he felt:
Bully; never felt better in my life.
and while 1 have taken no chances and
have gotten into the best condition,
feel very confident of the result. They
tell me Corbett is two-hauded, swift,
rushing fighter, on my own style, and |
hope he is, fer then neither he nor L will
have any excuses to make when the end
comes"
McGovern tipped the scale at 122 pounds
today, and he said that with a road run
tomorrow he would finish up mis- train
ing and break camp, prior to his leaving
for Hartford tomorrow afternoon. lie
expects to reach the ringside weighing
not more than LA pounds.
Among the sporting men there is very
little betting being done McGovern back
ers are Offering bets Of 2 to on their
man. with few takers. Among the sport
ing resorts on upper Broadway some OF
the sports are making what they call
gambling bets on the Denver lad, taking
odds of 5 to 2, but the prevailing price is
2 to l on the champion.
A big delegation from this vicinity will
leave for the scene Of the contest on
early forenoon trains Thursday SO that
they will reach Hartford in plenty Of
time to be at the ringside when the men
are brought together at o'clock in the
afternoon.

BOOTH FOR WISCONSIN.
Nebraska Coach Likely to Succeed
Phil King.

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. Negotiations
which have been in progress for some
time have resulted in a fattering offer
from the University of Wisconsin to
Walter C. Booth, coach of the Nebraska
university football eleven. Just what the
terms of the offer are the friends of Mr..
Booth do not state. but they say that
it has been practically determined that
he is to replace Phil King as coach Of
the Badger team.
Coach Booth is reticent about the
proposition made to him. He says there
has been some correspondence concern
ing the matter, but as yet nothing has
been decided upon.
The, scientific work of Booth as coach
of the Nebraska team has been regarded
with no little pride by the students Of
the university, and, while they would
be extremely sorry to lose him, they are
glad to see him chosen s for position ion
the display of his talents. Every in
duce1nent has been made to have him
remain with Nebraska. but apparently
the Wisconsin proposition is the most
desirable.

Think They Have Good Chance to
Win


URBANA, Ill, Nov 26-The University
of Illinois team took its last practice
Monday night and awaits with impae
thence the battle with the Giant Gopher
aggregation. There is a general feeling
of confidence about the school, but the
eleven will give the Northern sons of
Anak hard battle. The contest is the
first big game to be played on the Illinois
field on Turkey day for years, and old
grads" are coming into town In num-
bers.
Head Coach Edgar Holt is reticent con-
corning the contest. In company with
Manager Huff and Lowenthal and Stahl
of the team, the Illinois coach saw the
Gophers beat Northwestern last Satur,
day The quartette talked little about
what they saw, but their manner has
led local enthusiasts to believe that
Illinois has a good chance to defeat
Williams men and end the season aus
piciously
The Northwestern defeat has ranked
in athletic bosoms here. Therefore there
is another reason why Illinois would wish
to overwhelm Minnesota. Should the
Illinois overcome Minnesota it will bear
out the local claim that the Methodists
beat the state university on it's only "off
day. this season. The orange and blue
rank in the West after Michigan and
Wisconsin.
Illinois already stands third to these
teams in scoring ability Minnesota,
on the other hand has scored but
twenty-five touchodwns this fall, in
comparison with forty-two made by
Illinois. The Iowa games with Mime
sofa and Illinois are also quoted by local
enthusiasts to prove that Illinois is an
even proposition with the Gophers. Minr
nesota beat Iowa 16 to 0. Two weeks
later the Illinois team made 27 points on
the Knipe eleven. 1t took Minnesota
thirty-two minutes to score, while the
Illinois accomplished the trick in five
minutes. So much for dope"
Preparations are being made to handle
the biggest crowd ever present on the
Illinois stamping ground. The little burgs
in Champaign county will close up and
travel here to gaze in awe at the proper
lions Of the men from Minnesota. Cheap
excursions will bring hundreds from Dan
vile, Bloomington, Nation, Decatur,
and other nearby cities.
The varsity will line up as usual
Thanksgiving day, except in the back
field. Carl Lundgren, baseball captain,
who has not played previously on aer
count of parental objection, has returned
to the game. He has strengthened the
back field UNNECESSARILY. His compan-
ions Thursday will be Huntoon and Par

WAIT FOR PRESIDENT
RECIPROCITY COMMITTEE OF PAM
AMERICAN CONGRESS WAITING
FOR ROOSEVELlTS MESSAGE
ARBITRATION GOES SLOW
Committee on Statistics Recon-.
mends That Points of Produce
ton Be Investigated and
Reported Upon.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 2s.-The commit
tees Of the Pan-American congress are
rapidly completing their work with the
exception Of the arbitration committee
and the committee on commerce and re-
ciprocity. The latter is withholding ac-
ton until it learns the stand which Presi-
dent Roosevelt will take on the subject
Of reciprocity in his Forthcoming mes
sage to congress. The work of the ar
bitration committee is delayed, the diff
cultfes of the subject and the many con-
flicting interests which 1t is necessary
to conciliate. 1t held Its first meeting
today, after a fortnight's adjournment.
The committee on future Pan-Ameri-
can conferences will, it is understood
recommend the holding of conference
every five years. 1t is generally held
that the present conference should des-
tgnate the place where the next one Is to
be held, and the same course should
be followed by each succeeding congress.
The committee on the interoceanic canal
will probably confine itself in general
terms to recommending the excavation
of such waterways, without expressing
preference for any particular route.
c. M. Pepper, United States delegate
submitted recommendations to the CONF
mittee on resources and statistics. He
advocated the making or every effort to
secure full and reliable statistics of
founts on production in the various
American countries by cooperative ac-
ton. He said in part:
1.-THE chief idea should be to secure in
formation regarding the undeveloped
founts Of production and resources, SO
that In the instance of railroad building
projected 1t would be possible to ascer-
tain just what riches might be opened
up for commerce and industry. Similar
ly there Should be information as to
government or public lands and the agri-
cultural or other industries which they
support. It would further be advisable
to have the fullest data possible in re-
gard to water power and the possibilities
of its utilization either in mining or
manufacturing
At this afternoons session of the arbi-
tration committee the nineteen members
of the committee appointed a subcom-
mittee consisting Of the following MEM
bers:
Pardo. of Mexico Bermejo, Of Argen-
tine; Blest Cana, of Chile; P1errera. OF
Brazil; ALEXANDRA, of Peru; Buchanan.
of the United States. and Arrfaga, OF

MANY PLAYERS IN CHICAGO.
Six Teams I'm Windy City at ONE
Time.

CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-There will be plen-
ty Of football players in or near Chicago
tomorrow. For a time, at least, there
will be no fewer than six teams within
q few miles of each other, all members
of the big nine. These will be Michigan,
Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Chicago and
Northwestern. This is an unusual oc-
currence, and for few hours the foot
ball men ought to be encountered on
every thoroughfare
Iowa's team will arrive in the city to-
morrow afternoon over the Rock Island
road about o'clock. The men will be
taken to the Victoria hotel Wisconsin
and Michigan will come during the after
noon, and Minnesota will not leave for
Champaign until evening. It is not likely
that Northwestern will leave to meet
Purdue until late in the afternoon.
While Michigan is. of course, confident
of winning from Iowa, the Hawkeyes are
just as sure that the contest will be close.
The big score made by Michigan against
Beloit has not frightened Coach Knipe
Iowa is likely to win.
Manager MeCutchen. of Iowa, Is hope
full For the first time this year the
team Is playing as 1t Should" he said
last night. 1.-THE work is fast and Snappy
and the interference Is just about perfect.
Both Griffith and Jones handled the team
at quarter, but they did not seem to
have the faculty of getting the men to
work together"
Terrell, who is now playing at quar-
ter, has fitted we'll into Williams shoes
and runs the team like a veteran He
has had plenty of experience, having
played four years on the West Des
Moines high school eleven.
The line is strong and fast and the
back field is better than 1t has been at
any time this year. One thing is cert ain
Michigan is not going to get the jump
on Iowa. You can depend upon that In
every other game Iowa has been COM
PEELED to weaken the line in order to
strengthen the back field. Now all Of
the injured men are back, including Ter
rell Howell, an old Grinnell man; Wei
land. Wilkins and Jones. This gives US
plenty Of material.
WATERS will be played at end, the
position for which he Is fitted, and few
gains vii be made around him with any
sort Of interference. Then Siberts at the
other end is just about as strong
look upon these two players as among
the best In the country.
about forty or fifty men will be in
the party which will arrive Wednesday
night. OF course they will bring the
hawk along. The bird Is our mascot and
is we'll trained. He always predicts VIC
tory or defeat and Is unfailing as a
great prophet When he stalks around
the gridiron with his head up then Iowa
always wins. If he crouches and sneaks
about 1t Is sure sign that Iowa will
lose.
About 700 or 800 persons will arrive in
the city from Iowa City Thursday morn
Ing at o'clock on the special train.
