GAME WITH LwOGANSPORT
sHORTRfDGE MAY ARRANGE A CON-
TEST FOR SATURDAY, NOV. II.
Captain Clark Directed Practice from
1 Lines Training School
Must Get Together.

The shortridge team is in the best Of
shape for Its game with the Tuscola, ILL.,.
High School or Saturday. The players are
working hard and are not troubled with
overconfidence, as has been the case in
former years. Captain Clark was not in
uniform yesterday, but directed the work
of the players from the side lines. Clark
will not don a uniform until Saturday. as
his right eye was badly bruised in prac-
tice Tuesday and he has not yet fully re-
covered.
The North Side eleven will meet the hard
est proposition OF the season when 1T lines
up against the Tuscola team. The latter
eleven is the undisputed high school cham
pions Of Illinois and is playing a wonder
full game at the present time. Many of the
Illinois high schools fave refused to play
the Tuscola eleven, as defeat was almost
a certainty. This has not daunted the
local lads, however, and the Illinois eleven
will have to play the fastest kind of foot
ball to defeat the blue and white. The
Tuscola team has not suffered defeat this
season.
The Logansport High School team may
play the Shortridge eleven at Washington
Park one week from Saturday. Manager
Tuck Is now negotiating with the latter
and the contest probably can be arranged.
Lieber Will not be in condition to play
against Tuscola and his place at right
tackle will be filled by Gipe. Johnson will
play Gipe's position at right end. Donaker
may play back of the line on Saturday. He
showed up well in practice yesterday and
is certain TO accompany the team as a
substitute Schoen and Weer also showed
up well.
The following Is a partial list of the
games won by the Tuscola eleven this
season.:
Tuscola, 20; Urbana, O.
Tuscola, 81: Charleston, 0.
Tuscola, 90. Decatur, 0.
Tuscola, AZ; Bloomington, O.. .
Captain Clark, Of the Shortridge football
team. was notified late last night that vii
Conner, the star tackle, would not be al
lowed TO play Saturday. This will ma.
terially weaken the team, as IL Will change
almost the entire lineup of the eleven
Aronson will be shifted from right guarC
to tackle and Donaker will take Aronson's
place. The latter was relied upon as g
substitute and the loss of Conner will make
the carrying Of one extra substitute a me-
l. cessity.
Saturdays game against the Tuscola. Ill.
High School will be the only one in which
Conner will be debarred from playing by
parental opposition. w. A. Copner, father
of the student, would not assign a reason
last night for not allowing his son to play
on Saturday. The big tackle will be IL
all other games this season.

HART N STATEMENT.
He Says National League Did Not
Promise to Abolish the Rule.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE statement cred
tied to Ban Johnson, president of the Amer
lean League, that the foul strike rule, IL
unsatisfactory to the American League
after a years trial. would be abolished, is
denied by President Hart, of the local club

did not like the rule after a years trial /
would vote with him to abolish it," said
Mr.. Hart to-day. II was overenthusiastic
and had no idea they would not like it.
However, the National League made no
such pledge"
