becoming better known in the east that
western teams are not of an inferior class
And why should not college like Michi-
gan be able to turn out as good a team
as Harvard or Yale?
Formerly the western colleges were I'M
able to secure material from the high
schools and preparatory schools already
partly educated in football as was the
case in the east; but now the east and
the west are on an equal footing in that
respect. Western preparatory schools and
high schools give as much attention to
football as do the eastern institutions.
This was demonstrated in Chicago last
Saturday wheL the Hyde Park high school
so decisevly defeated a Brooklyn team
In speaking of last seasons Michigan
team Mr. Yost was very enthusiastic He
told how the team had made an average
of IS points to game in the eleven con-
tests played, and how in only one game
Michigan had failed to score more than
20 points.
Yes, 1 think We had the greatest team
in the country individually and collective
W" he said. I think that Captain Weeks
is the greatest quarterback in the country,
not excepting the wonderful Daily He
has had many offers to take charge of
football teams next season, including,
believe, one from Kansas. The Jayhawk-
ers could not get a better man."

PATENT STARTER ORDERED.
st. Louis Race Track Will Use Frank
Carr's Device.

St Louis Dec. 13.-An informal con-
tract has been concluded for equipping
the fair grounds track at ST. Louis with
mechanical starting devices. President
TILES of the fair grounds association
gave J. Frank Carr an order for his
improved machine, which will be used
next season at the May meeting. The
machine was given a private and a pub
lie trial during the season closed and
was pronounced a success by all who
witnessed the trials
Since the trial machine first appeared
Carr has made many improvements in
the machine, notab bly, the lessening of its
weight and strengthening the barriers
in front of the stalls which hold the
racers.
The adoption of the gate by the fair
association is considered the first step in
the elimination of the starter and the
general adoption of mechanical starters.

Basketball at Lawrence.

Lawrence. Kas.. Dec. 13.-The first
basket ball game of the season was
played by the Haskell Indians and the
University of Kansas five on the Has
ken courts last evening. The Indians
won by a score of "a to II. The game
was not up to the mark usually set by
the two teams and showed that the mel
were green. The Haskell team was COM
posed of the same men that played last
year when the game started, but Houser
was ruled off early in the game for
smuggling Referee Plank. The Kansas
team is strengthened this fall by Allen,
the Kansas City boy, who played on the
Independence championship team last
fall and was guard on the University of
Kansas football team this fall. For the
Indians, Falls and Keteham did great
work, while Allen and the two Afford
boys played well for Kansas.

HARVEST Time.
Retailers Now Take the Lead in
Trade Circles.
WhOlesaIing and Building Wait
on the Holiday Season.
FUTURE PROSPERITY
Is Indicated by Basic Conditions
Says Bradstreet's.
Railway Earnings Show Heavy
Increase Over Last Year.

New York, Dec. 13.-Bradstreet's says:
Retail distribution. further stimulated
by colder weather and the advance Of
the holiday season, has expanded large
ly, until now it easily occupies first posi-
ton in the trade situation. Wholesale
trade, except where inroads upon retail
ers' stocks have induced recorders is
relapsing into the quiet and usual at
the stock taking period. Building trade
activity has been checked by the eli
matte influences prevailing and the dis
tribution of lumber and building mater
ials generally is less active. Other lead
ing industries also note the ouieting
down usual at this season. Great basic
conditions, however. make for future
prosperity. Railway earnings, swelled
by heavy traffic in grain and miscel-
laneous products, offsetting smaller
cotton, show an increase of ~ per cent
for November over the same month a
year ago.
Gold weather and snow have helped
distribution at retail in the Northwest
and the outlook is for an unprecedented
holiday distribution on the Pacific coast.
Recorders of heavy goods from jobbers
are still of moderate proportions at the
west, but spring sales are larger than
year ago in dry goods, shoes and
clothing. Holiday trade is brisk for this
early stage of the season at the east.
1t has been a narrow market for cotton.
Heavy clothing, shoes and rubber goods
have moved into consumption largely
during the week and spring business is
reported of flattering volume. There is
but little now in the cotton goods mar
ket. the export branch being still very
dull. Wooden goods are firm and the
mills are well employed. Hides and
leather are dull and rather quiet. Lum-
Der is quiet as already noted, but prices
are unimpaired.
Along among the industries, iron and
steel shows symptoms of weaker price
for crude material. but this on the
whole is more apparent than real, be-
cause demands for supplies a-e as press
ing as ever and production has not yet
overtaken consumption. Lower prices
for coke iron at the west and weaker
quotations for foreign foundry iron at
the seaboard may be really regarded as
readjustments of abnormal situations
previously prevailing. Heavier forms of
finished material show no. signs OF

Season of 1908.

New York, Dec 13-The graduate board

Football association has offered Villa m
R. Morley the position of head coach fer
1903.
The vote of the directors was unanimous
on the question and their offer has been
enthusiastically Endorsed by the students

that Morley himself is anxious to return
but that the demands of business in the
west will have to be carefully investigated
before he can announce his decision. In
case he should be unable to return it is
likely that Jack" Wright of the 1899 and
1900 teams will be asked to take the posi-
ton.
