pressed down with a plank after the seeds

That Opinion Expressed by Officials
and Captains i'm Interviews.

The officials and captains of the two
teams stated that the best team won. 1t
was a satisfactory contest to the spectators
and Shortridge demonstrated her superb
ority over Manual Training High School
The following expressions were gathered
after the contest:
Referee Esterline-''It was a good game
and considering the condition of the field
the play of both teams was remarkable
ground gaining ability, he work of Captain
Scott and Half Back Clark being especially
strong.
Both teams did first rate kicking, honors
being about even in this department of the
contest. Captain SCOTS recovery of the
ball on Manuals one-y ard line after he had
punted II was an exceptional play, and
made the second touchdown possible The
score would doubtless have been larger
had the field been dry, but | believe the
result of the game would have been the
same.
1T was difficult game to referee on ac-
count of the absence of the five-yard lines
and the crowd on the field. 1t was certain
ly demonstrated that a football game
should be played on none other than an
enclosed field of play"
Umpire Robertson.-"There was plenty of
good football in that game. and the best
team won. While the playing was des-
perate, there was little or no intentional
rough playing. 1t was necessary to pen
alize both sides frequently for holding and
OU-SlQe play, out DOtn teams suffered
about equally in this regard / do not
think the final result of the game would
have been different on dry field
THE men all played with good spirit,
and the score shows the strength of the
two teams"
Coach Winters. of Manual Training High
School.-"The best team won. Both teams
would have played better and more sat
isfactory game on a dry field. But a dry
field would not have changed the result
Shortridge deserved TO win. That is our
only consolation, and the team they beat
was pretty good one. even if it was beat
en-. AS near as l could Judge both teams
made about fifty yards in advancing the
ball. Where our opponents outplayed us
was in their unfailing ability to take add
vantage OF our misplays. This won the
game for Shortridge. Cummings head work
great. Time and again he made his
captain and team do what they did not
want TO do, and every time he was right.
Every man on the Training School team
played a good. hard game. l have no
complaint TO make Ii is hard to lose when
you expect TO win. but il is some sort of
satisfaction to know you are beaten by a
better team
Captain Scott, Shortridge High School,
The game came out just as / expected.

Is HEROIsM ON THE INCREAsEf
How DIR. Weir Mitchell Answers the
Question.
Century for December.

Century for December.
Some three years ago, in a talk among
friends a discussion arose as to whether
the civilized world was improving in altru-
ism. The talk at last narrowed to the
question of whether the modern man and
woman are any more altrustic in their ten
denotes than they of, we may say, the sew
enteenth century.
volved in any form of charity in giving
money, but simply whether self-risking
heroism is, or is not, on the increase-a
very hard question to answer. Most of us
believed that il was, but agreed about the
difficulty of obtaining satisfactory proof.
1t occurred TO me later that to secure
some statistical relation of the amount of
heroic conduct in everyday life might per-
haps be of value. | therefore engaged one
of the clipping agencies to send me for a
year the reports of perilous self-devotion to
be found in the American daily papers. The
net thus cast was large. but by no means
could be made to catch all even of the pub
lished cases. | myself saw from time 10
time number in the papers which were not
among the clippings sent. The most i'm
portant journals are supposed to have been
searched; but there are some twenty thou
sand papers printed in the United States.
most of them weekly or half-weekly To
include all of these was past hope. More
over, in private life occur, as every one
knows, numerous examples or heroic en-
deavor which never are within reach of the
reporter. Indeed. il is true that they who
do for their fellows acts which involve
self-risks are usually those who avoid pub
lie appreciation.
Notwithstanding these Hmita tons of my
quest, | found that | had as the product of
my order mass of matter requiring care
and restraint in the use L made of il. 1t
became indeed, so large that at the end of
ten months | called a halt had the clip
pings pasted in books, and only Of late
have had the courage to deal with them.

FAST TRAINS COLLIDED
BIG -FOUR AND l., ID. & w. NET NEAR
UNION STATION.
Passengers Escaped without Injury,
hut Property Loss Was Considerable
Engine stuck i'm the Mud.

A bad wreck, in which, however. no one
was killed, occurred yesterday morning at
1870 O'Clock at the Senate-avenue crossing
of the Union tracks, west of the Union
Station. Big Four train No. 2. from
Lafayette, was "sideswiped" by l., d. & w.
train No. Z. from Tuscola, Ill. Both trains
were badly damaged. The yellow cars of
the Big Four train were piled up in the
middle of the crossing, while the pilot Of
the l.. d. az w. engine plowed under the
Big Four cars. Part of the l., ID. & w. en-
CINE was mired several feet in the soft
earth. The rails were torn up and twisted.
The Big Four train was due TO arrive at
the Union Station at 1890 o'clock, while the
l., D. & w. train was due at 1O:15 o'clock,
being fifteen minutes late. The Big Four
track before reaching Senate avenue makes
a big curve from Georgia street to Louisi-
ana street. When the two trains reached
the Missouri-street crossing they were
given orders by the fiagman TO take the
north tracks. The Big Four train was in
the lead. and when IL reached the Senate
avenue crossing Ii slowed down TO take a
switch before entering the Union Station
tracks. AS IL slowed down the l., ID. & w.
train followed close behind and shot into II
with great speed. Instantly the front of
the Big Four train was hoisted i'm the air.
Fortunately, only two passengers were in
cars of the l.. D. & w. train were WELL
filed. When the crash came these passen-
gers received a shaking up but otherwise
they were not injured.
Wrecking crews from railroad yards were
sent 20 the scene and 1t was not until late
yesterday afternoon that the tracks were
cleared. The greatest difficulty arose when
efforts were made to get the l., ID. & w.
engine out of the mire. Four-inch cables
were attached to two switch engines. but in
the tugging the great strain broke the
cables. The baggage coach on the Big
Four train was smashed and the trucks
were DISPLACED.

FRIEND OF FOOTBALL
Good Features of the Sport Praised
by Mr.. j. Il. ShideIer.

Deputy Postmaster ]. E. Shideler, who,
from parents standpoint, has good rea-
son to give some attention to the game of
football, said last night. in discussing the
sport:
not know the fine points of the game. and
as / have four boys that play, ii will be
conceded, think, that / should know some
thing of the nuisance of Ii. But the sober
truth is that much of the criticism of the
game is unwarranted. Boys must do some
thing to work off the surplus energy of
youth, and everything has its dangers and
Objectionable features. Boating, fishing
and swimming are marred by the danger of
drowning; driving, by the risk of a run
away; and, judging from the reports in
the papers, a day afield with dog and gun
is about dangerous a line of battle.
These gridiron contests are modern
expression of the valor that sustained the
gladiator in the ancient contests of the
arena, and the physical contests Of the log
rollings of a generation ago were the same
thing.
Much can be said in favor of the atten-
ton to health, habits and physical train
ing which athletics induce. and the team
work and animation of a contest in the
name of a school and its cheering crowds
and waving colors is certainly good anti
dote for sefishness.
1.-The stale joke about the schools devot-
ing all their talents to athletics is untrue.
Most schools insist upon a certain fixed
standard of scholarship a prerequisite
to taking part in the field games. There
is sharp rivalry for the honor of represent
ing the school on field days, and the sue
cessful ones are not from the foot of the
class.
Football, as DR.. Holmes said about box
ing, is rough play, but not too rough for
hearty young fellow. Anything is better
than this white blooded degeneration to
which we all tend
'"Tennyson expresses the same idea in
Maud, where he declares that war is less
to be dreaded than the physical degenera-
ton of commercialism.
"One thing cannot be too strongly OPP
posed. High school boys have no business
making wagers on the result, and that will
do more to destroy the claim that football
| is a gentleman's game than the charge OF
! brutality"
