game to be played shortly after the open
ing of school In January. or last years
team only two men will play this year.

tain, and T. F. Hirsch. Glover, the pole
vaulter, is trying for forward, and A.
Faulkner. a former Indiana State Normal
player, who was substitute on the Pur-
due team last year. is a likely candidate
for guard. Arthur Caldwell a Lafayette
player, is also trying for guard. There are
many others out for the various positions,

abundance of good material. Until this
week about thirty-five men were trying for
places on the team, but Peck has cut the
number down to twenty-five and will weed

MISSING GIRL
WAS ABDUCTED
Miss Coffin, of East Orange, N.
j., Appears In Omaha With
a Startling Story.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 6.-Miss Clara
Josephine Coffin, daughter of w. Ward
Coffin, whose mysterious disappearance
from her home in East Orange, N. j.,
last Tuesday, has caused her parents
great anxiety, arrived in Omaha early
today, and is now at the home of POST
master Joseph Grow, whose wife is a
niece of the girls father. The young
woman is prostrated by nervous
shock, which she says is the result of
an attempted abduction from her home
by two strangers, man and a woman.
According to Miss Coffin's account,
she had been attending the high school
in East Orange, and last Tuesday she
made trip to the gymnasium to take
her usual exercises. For the last
month she had been passing strange
woman just near the school building,
who always had strange effect upon
her. The woman had piercing black
eyes. Tuesday the woman approached
her and told her in commanding way
to pack her clothes and follow her. In
a half-dazed state, and acting under
the hypnotic spell, the girl made the
trip back to her home. packed her
clothing and did as the woman had bid
her. She had arranged to meet the
girl at certain place, and when Miss
Coffin arrived on her return there was
strange man in company with the
woman.
The girl was placed ip a carriage,
and, after the man and yreman had en-
tered, they were driven ~ - rapid rate,
finally landing in Newd'1, N. J. From
there they were takessrto the railroad
station and went to New York city.
She next realized that the party was
aboard another train, and on it's way
to Chicago.
When the train reached Cedar Rap
ids, Iowa, Miss Coffin recovered her
senses, slipped out and sent telegram
to Postmaster Joseph Crow, asking him
to meet her. Meantime her captors
had left the car. Postmaster Crow met
the girl as she left the midnight train
on the Northwestern. AS soon as Miss
Coffin saw Mr.. Crow she fell into his
arms, prostrated. He assisted the girl,
who is almost complete nervous
wreck, to his home, and placed her un-
der the care of physician. Miss Cof-
fin is confined to her bed and is very
weak.
No trace has been found of the mys-
terious man or woman, and the only
supposed motive is that they expected
to abduct the girl and hold her for
ransom.
