BURT0N'S 4 BIG MAN.
So Says Secretary Hamilton Of
American Beet Sugar Co.

J. G. Hamilton, of New York, secre-
taFy or the American Beet Sugar COM
pany and one of the men who was in
strumental in securing the defeat Of the
Cuban reciprocity measure at the recent
session Of congress, was in Topeka to-
day on his way to California, where the
mills of the beet sugar company are
about to open up for the summers
campaign" Mr. Hamilton came in at
1855 via the Santa Fe. and was accom-
panied by G. L. Seagrayes. the travel
ing passenger agent Of the Santa Fe
road.
Naturally, Mr. Hamilton is an enthus-
iastic supporter of Senator J. Ralph
Burton. Speaking of Senator Burton,
he said:
Senator Burton is one Of the biggest
men in the United States senate You
people out here in Kansas don't half
appreciate him. He did splendid ser.
vice for the interests of the beet sugar
industry. They tried to open the doors,
into competition with American lahc~
the Cuban reciprocity bin had had pass passed q
as proposed, it would have busted the
sugar beet industry wide open. It
would have put the sugar beet COM
panies clear out of business" ]"
When asked by a reporter for the
State Journal to give his views on the
prospects of Kansas as sugar produc.
ing state, Mr.. Hamilton said:
You ought to have 25 factories in
Kansas. You can raise sugar beets here
as well as anywhere in the country. OF
course we can be more certain as to
what we can do in the way of erecting
mills when we know the results of ouI
tests of sugar beet growing which are
in progress at Wichita. The probabflit
is that they will not show such q large
per cent of sugar as they would had
these rains come q little later in the
season. That Is when the sugar beets
take ON their sugar. The advantage OF
raising beets is that the farmer knows
beforehand exactly what he is going to
get for his crop. If he has a big cror
he maskes just as much per ton as he
does on small CROP
Mr.. Hamilton is accompanied to CALI
fornia by his daughter. They will stay
in California for several months

IOWA TEAM is PASSED ISIS;
BOARD OF ATHLETIC CONTROL
DECLARES PLAYERS ELIGIBLE
Knipe's List Is Approved by Commit
tee-White's Case Delays Report,
but the Half Back Is Admitted
Hawkeye Students Confident of
Successful Year.

Special to The Globe.
IOWA CITY, Iowa, Oct. 3.-The ell
gibility committee Of the board of
athletic control Of the University OF
Iowa, the autocratic body which will
not bow to public or student opinion
when once it makes UP it's mind, has
gladdened the hearts of the Hawkeye
students by returning a clean bill of
health for every one of the men sub
mitted to it by Coach A. A. Knipe.
The men whom the board today
granted permission to play on the
varsity team at the option Of the
coach and captain are
Capt. Hollenbeck, Griffith, Donovan,
Berry, Siberts, Jones, Coulthard, Fred
Buckley, White Howell, Atkinson,
Oehiltree, Durkee and Briggs.
The board held up the list for half
a week while specializing on the case
of White, the right half back. White
attended the state agricultural school,
taking the first year work last spring.
The fall previous he had spent several
weeks at Iowa City, but left after the
first game was played. AT the agri-
cultural school White was a member
of the track team.
If the school is Of collegiate rank,
White has to stay year in
residence at Iowa before playing on
any of it's teams. The board Of eligi-
DlnCy 1OunQ, however, LnaJ the SJuQ1eS
in the first year at the agricultural
school are all elementary, such as are
taught in the eleventh and twelfth
grades of high schools, and that the
state teachers association does not
accord the school collegiate standing.
1t was therefore decided that the year
was a preparatory year and not col
lege year.
Students Are Confident.
The Hawkeye students are quite con-
WINGED this year that Iowa has a win
ming team, which will equal the rec
| ord of any previous varsity team.
DR.. Knipe wishes for faster charging
by the line men, quicker play by the
| backs, more helping in the interference
| and more stone-wall work by the
| guards before he will make any such
| predictions. The line is, however, as
| heavy as desired, save for one tackle
| position, for which Fred Buckley and
Berry are trying, and the backs have
| given every evidence of being swift
| enough to carry out the open play pro-
| gramme which is mapped out for the
team this year.
| The game with the state normal
| school Saturday is not expected to
| give Iowa any trouble. The Hawkeyes
-should roll up over thirty points I'M
| less the normal captain insists-on I'M
| reasonably short halves. Graham, of
| DeS MoineS, an alumnuS of Iowa and
| the state normal school, will umpire
| the game, and T. L. Burkland, of
Peoria, will referee the contest.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-10-04

Football at the University of Min
nesota, which, up to date, compared
with what is to follow, has been mere
1y child's play will assume serious as
pect this afternoon. DR.. Williams
kickers, who have been toying with
high school and other minor teams
since the football season opened, will
cease to take life easy today.
Beginning with the Ames team this
:, afternoon, the battle promises to be a
strenuous one, and work of the high
est character will be required of the
'Gophers, if Minnesota colors are to
be upheld
Today it will be Ames. On Oct. II
the fast Beloit team will be the oppo-
sition, and the following Saturday it
will be the Cornhuskers from Ne
braska. On Oct. Is Minnesota will
take a journey to Iowa City, where
they will meet the Hawkeyes. Nov. 1
Grinnell will measure it's strength
against the Minnesotans on Northrop
field, and on the succeeding Saturday
Illinois will be the Gophers guests.
Providing DR.. Williams warriors have
a clean record up to Nov. Is, what will
be the most important contests of the
year will follow On the last date
mentioned Coach King and his husky
Badgers viii try conclusions with the
Gophers. Then will come the final
the Minnesota men will go to Detroit,
where they will meet the Michigan
team.
AS to this afternoons game, support
ers of the maroon and gold naturally
look for a victory for Minnesota.
While it is true that the Gophers have
not had the opportunity to show their
real strength up to the present time,
enough has been seen to demonstrate
the fact that DR.. Williams has an ag
gregation of kickers which can be
classed in the running.
One fault to be found in the eleven
Is the ragged team work
In the recent games this has been
noticeable, and has ELECTED much I'M
favorable criticism. One other great
fault is in the line. Owing to the large
number of candidates for position in
: the forward field, the work Of select
Ing players for these positions has been
slow, and even at this time the rooters
look upon the line as an uncertain
quantity.
The back field has given fairly good
satisfaction, and little apprehension is
felt for this portion of the field. With
Harris at quarter good results have
been achieved as regards to speed.
Summing up the whole situation in
a few words, individually the Gophers
are fast, strong and have the fighting
qualities, ana once Iney get TO WORK
ing together Minnesota's colors will
then be in safe hands.
The game this afternoon will COM
nlence at $3.50, and it is probable that
thirty-minute halves will be played. DR..
Williams announced last evening that
the Gophers' lineup will be composed
of the following men:
Left end, Rogers; left tackle, Waist;
left guard, Flynn; center, Webster;
,,ioI,t o-11ard Stratbern: right tackle,
La Fans or Smith; right end, Boeck-
mann; quarter, Harris; left half, Da-
vies; right half, Bidlake; fullback,
KnoWlton.
