THOSE ORIENT BRANCHES.
Supt. Foley Says the First Thing Is
to Build Main Line.

Wichita, Kas., Aug, 6.-J. A. Foley,
superintendent of the Orient railway
was in the city yesterday on business
for his road. Everybody is interested in
the Orient and Mr.. Foley was asked
great many questions about the building
of the Orient. He said there was just
one thing delaying the Orient and that
was inability to SECURE bridge timbers.
Mr.. Foley said that railroads believed
in advertising but he thought recently
the Orient was getting more than its
share Every day or two he had noticed
that the Orient was going to build
branch road somewhere. He said it cost
d good deal of money to operate some
of these branch roads and he was under
the impression that the promoters Of
the Orient would finish the main line
from Wichita to the Pacific ocean before
building any branches.

COMPLAINT FROM THE EAST.
There Is Serious Shortage of Cars
There, Too.

Chicago, III, Aug. 6.-Traffic officials Of
lines east of Chicago are complaining of
lack of freight cars to take care of the
business that is being offered here. Sew
eral of these say that it was impossible to
get cars fast enough last week. The car
shortage is commencing earlier this year
than last by several weeks and in spite
of the increased facilities of the roads for
handling traffic a recurrence of last win
ter's blockade is not unlikely. This car
shortage is given as the principal reason
for the falling off of the grain shipments
east from Chicago last week

ILLINOIS MORE HOPEFUL
Woodruff's Men Are Doing Bette
Work in Practice.

Woodruff's Men Are Doing Better
Work in Practice.
New York Sun Special Service.
Urbana, ILL.,, Nov. 12.-The spirits
of Illinois, which is preparing for
hard game with the Minnesota giants,
rose in some measure this evening.
The more hopeful air which pervaded
the orange and blue camp was due
to an improved showing on the part
of the varsity.
The Illinois team showed part1cu-
larly well on defense. The junior
sophomore and freshmen class elev-
ems in turn were pitted against the
regulars, and with innumerable downs
could do little. The freshmen scored
by flul1e, but this did not bother the
rooters.
One of the features of the practice
was the work of Bronson at halfback.
The Urbana lad played the best game
of the season and he promised to be
| in wood form Saturday. Hannum,
another back, likewise showed up
wei.
Coach Woodruff gave his players no
Ilet-up. AS fast as one class was worn
out another was hustled in to try the
varsity defense. Not until it was too
dark to see the plays were the Him
allowed to trot into the gymnasium.
MUM played a part OF the Tim at
quarter and he was followed by Hun
toon. The former player is one of the
state teams hopes in the scoring line.
Should he be able to get in a good
! place he might drop a goal from the
field. Woodruff has two more days
| in which to brace his team and the
rooters will not feel SO blue if the
team makes more advances like that

mined to give the gophers a hard
battle.

lain. Findlay's eye is SO much better
that his physician says he may play.
He will go in at left tackle. Washer Will
be at his usual place at right tackle
and he will be called upon to KICK
the goals after any touch-downs that
the badgers may be able to score.
Chamberlain, will start at right guard
but will not last thru the entire game,
and Price will take his place. Remp
will quite assuredly need no substitute
at center and Bertke is expected to
play the entire game at left.
If it has rained at Ann Arbor as
hard as it has in Madison for the last
twenty hours, the chances OF W1scon-
sin with her light team to win the
game Saturday against the wolverines,
are about per cent less than would
be the case If the field were dry and
hard. Michigan's team is heavier
than that of wisconsin by an average
of some ten pounds to the man, and q
muddy field will be almost winning
advantage to the Ann Arbor players.
Coach Curtis said yesterday that
with the exception Of having to prac-
tice ON a muddy field yesterday the
| work Of the men this week has been
entirely satisfactory and they nave
shown an excellent spirit since the de-
feat by Chicago.
Assistant Coach Mccarthy says the
| men have improved in charging and
are getting on to the Michigan plays
as we'll as could be expected. Coach

TWO HIGH SCHOOL GAMES
North Side Meets East Side To-mor-
row South High Plays Cen
trail Saturday.

Two important high school football
games are scheduled for this week.
North high will meet East high to-
morrow afternoon on North high field,
eighteenth and Girard avenues N, and
Saturday afternoon Central will meet
South high on the same grounds. The
game tomorrow will be called at $3.50.
North high is generally conceded a
victory over East high, but Cameron's
men are not discouraged by their de-
feat last week at the hands of South
high. and they will go in to win.
Should North and South highs win
this week. the championship will lie
between them, and will be settled by
the game Oct. 20.
South high has an advantage over
Central since number of the red and
blue players are more or less Grip
pied. Halwye, the aggressive little
halfback, has broken nose and two
badly swollen eyes, and probably will
be unable to play. Morse and Castor
have been kept out of practice this
week by injuries, but Central viii
make hard fight for victory never
theless.
