BATTLE OF THE "BIG-NINERS."
Minnesota and Michigan to strive for
Western Championship.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Nov. 26.-Coach
Williams and the Minnesota football team
arrived from Mount Clemens this evening
in time for supper. 1t is predicted the
Minnesota team will average 200 pounds,
although DIR. Williams said tonight the
lineup would not be finally and definitely
settled until just before the game to-mor-
row.
The best team will win," said Yost.
Michigan's coach, tonight. There will be
no IFS about it. We will do the best we
lack of men. OF course, we hope to win"
Coach Williams stood guard at the din
ing-room door when his men came out
from supper and sent the Minnesota play
ers directly TO their rooms, steering them
clear of the hotel lobby full of excited
students. I'VE did not come here for moth
ing" said Williams when asked for an
opinion on to-morrow's result. The Min
nesota men are certainly mt and in cond1-
ton to play the best game of their lives.
Our men are in splendid form and that
means a good deal. Every man who will
go into the battle is as sound as a bullet,
and if We don't win it will be because the
Michigan men are better players"
Ferry Field has been under a covering
Of straw since Saturday. this precaution
having been taken to protect the grounds
against snow and rain.
Great disappointment is felt among Mich
igan's supporters owing to Jones's inabil-
ity to play full back. He is laid UP in the
house with water on the knee and will not
be able TO witness the game, but Graver,
who will take his place, has been credited
with being the best all-around player on
the team.

Frahklin,s Successful Season.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
FRANKLIN, Ind, Nov. 26.-The Frank
lin College football team disbanded yester-
day afternoon after one of the most sue
cessful seasons 1t has ever had Franklin
played the five colleges in the secondary
class and defeated three. For these five
games the total score was: Franklin. 80; OPP
ponents, 16. The prospects are that Frank
lin will have a stronger team next year
as all of the present squad will be back
with the exception Of Tincher, at tackle,
and perhaps Waggener. at quarter. From
a financial standpoint the season has been
: unusually successful. While Manager Jor-
dan has not yet filed his final report he is
confident that the association will be free
from debt. with about $50 in the treasury.
This Is the first time In the history of the
athletic association when the football sea-
son has been closed with a surplus in the
treasury. The faculty athletic committee
will banquet the football team next week.

RICHMOND, Ind, Nov. 26.-The students
and friends of Earlham College are mani
Testing unusual interest in the Thanksgiv-
ing football game because it will give Earl
ham her standing for the year among the
secondary colleges Of the State. The first
place has been conceded TO De Pauw Uni
versity since the early part Of the season.
Franklin has been defeated by Rose Poly
technic and once by Earlham, so that the
second and third places will go to Rose
Poly. and Earlham. Should Rose win to-
morrow she will have a clear title to sec
ond place. since each OF her games against
Franklin was won by a much larger score
than Eahlham won from the same team.
Every man will go into the game feeling
that the football standing OF his team and
college depends on his individual playing.

Where Cougars Are a Nuisance.

A party OF timber-land dealers just in
from the mountains some twenty miles out
from Gate City report that cougars are
very numerous in that section. The woods
are literally full Of them, and they are
frequently seen during the day, and also
the blood-stained snow in many places
shows where they have killed deer. But
the worst feature Of the brutes Is their
habit, common to the feline races, Of cat
erwauling at night. A pair Of these sni-
mails growing and fighting In the back
yard Of ones camp all night Is no joke
The party was composed of eight men, all
accustomed to life in the woods, but, they
say, they were never SO badly frightened be-
fore in all their woodland experience as
they were during their last trip. Their
hair stood erect and the blood corgcaled
as the murderous cougars "fit and fit and
scratched and bit and struggled in the
mud, till all the ground for miles around
was covered with their blood" Deer are

American and German Ways.

From the Outlook.
In Germany it may be said that the ten
dency is to make better workmen; in
America and England the tendency is to
make better men. The Anglo Saxon policy
is to cast the bantling on the rock and
let him work out his own salvation through
temptation. In Germany the policy is
quite the reverse; the workman is protected
from disciplining temptation. and ruled in
q thousand ways by the government in
stead of being allowed to rule himself
American discipline is from within, Ger
man from without The German workman
is without hope even in religion, for it is
rare that German workman is ever seen
In church after confirma ton; there is little
or no chance for him to rise; he has before
him no possible career in politics. nor any
hope of becoming Carnegie or Hunting
ton. Consequently he is without ambition
to do his work faster or by better methods:
he Is content to do what his father did
without thinking, though the all-seeing gov
ernment is making herculean efforts
through it's scores of technical and indus
trial SchoolS-the best in lne world-to stir
him from his stolid and precedent bound
lethargy. The German workman is slow
therefore his wages are small. 1t is less ex-
pensive in Germany to hire muscle than IT
Is to install expensive machinery. There
fore in all sorts Of German manufacturing
establishments one sees clouds of workmen
bending their backs to burdens which in
America are borne swiftly, noiselessly and
more cheaply by electricity or steam

STEEL RAILROAD TIES.
More Commonly Used in Europe Than
in America.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
steel ties" said a railroad man. (which
to width and length. are of ordinary tie
dimensions, are made of steel about three
eighths Of an inch in thickness pressed into
trough shape; and are laid with the con-
vex side up. The rail is secured to the tie
by means Of clip, passing through "A hole
punched in the tie and fastening over the
f1anges of the rail
'Steel ties are far more commonly used
in Europe than they are here, this being
especially true as to Italy, France and Ger
many and most particularly so as to Italy,
where many steel ties are used. Wood Is
more costly in Europe than here, and Is
used with gre ater economy. Here we drive
the spikes into wooden railroad ties, with
more or less danger of splitting them. and
with consequent increased liability To de-
terioration. In Europe they bore holes first
in which to drive the spikes, and wooden
ties ara treated also with some wood-p
serving process, as is commonly done there
also with telegraph poles, fence posts and
wood I'm other forms in similarly exposed
situations.
Here, while wood is dearer than Ii was,
and ties cost more than they formerly did.
and we are using now more or less ties OF
soft wood, where we never used to think Of
using any but hard wood. yet wooden ties
are still less expensive than steel. And
while more preserving plants are now being
established, still we cannot be said to have
reached yet in this country the stage of
comparatively limited use of steel ties here
i doubt if there are laid in this country
hundred miles of them yet. altogether
which is here more experimental.
