and hour and half of fast signal and forma ton
work the scrubs were given the ball the var
sity's ten-yaSd line and for forty minutes the
reserves hurled themselves against the regulars,
making only one touchdown in thirty downs.
The defense of the regulars superb. The
scrubs used the Michigan formations. The work

The total weight of the five center men in the
line is evenly distributed, four of them weighing
between 100 and 200 pounds each. Not a man
on the Wisconsin team is as heavy as 200 pounds.
The most weighty Is Remp, center rush, who

Second Team Heavier.

Much to the surprise Of the spectators the Sec
ond team slightly outweighed the first This
d1ference gave the first team plenty of chance
to show their mettle. In offense the second team
held Its own at first and by series Of silent
plays worked the ball to the center Of the field.
Here the regulars rallied and held their own,
and altho the second team was allowed to keep
the ball for several downs they were unable to
gain any distance. After the first took the ball
tney tried the center with small gain, and then
broke thru the tackle for touchdown. They
were able to gain consistently and made several
long runs. But the work was decidedly ragged
IN spots and the coaches were not slow in telling
the men about it. After the ball had been given
to the second team, Flad broke away on a trick
play and almost the whole first team line was

IRSFIELD WORKS
CENTRAL FAST
Preparations Well Under Way
for Fridays Game with
East High.

BY Kit.
Strenuous coaching is the watchword at Central
high and if Central player goes into the East
high game Friday without a thoro knowledge of
his position it will be the wonder of the high
school season. Yesterday there were coaches for
everybody, Jimmy Irsfeld, Thayer and McCar-
thy having the first team and Morse and several
OF the alumni giving advice, encouragement and
calldowns to the second team. It was the long
est, hardest practice of the year, after which
the twenty-five minute halves with East high
ought to seem pretty short--as far time is
concerned.
What pleases the Central players is the appear
ance OF a new man, Brown. He will be good
In any position along the line and be expect
ed to hold his own If he keeps up the pace he
set yesterday. He played opposite Smith and
seemed to be able to find several holes along
the line. Smith, on the other hand, was putting
up fine game, and 1t was a battle royal.
All the subs were given chance and few
changes We're made from time to time on the first
team, which shows that certain positions are by
no means cinched.s There was a rapid shifting
at left tackle, and Corcoran finished up in
that position it looks If he might be in the
final lineup. Another new feature is the kicking
OF Farnham. With a little coaching he ought
to be able to get off his kicks in good style,
and altho he does not approach Frykman in dis
tance he gets good height and allows the ends
plenty of time to get down the field 1t is
likely that he will do the goal kicking when the

RADICAL CHANGES Due

There is a disposition among certa in

Foreign Commerce. and recently return

FINE POINTS IN ETIQUETTE

One of the striking customs that are
preserved by the Indians today is found
among tribes on the Devils Lake reser-
yation- Supervisor Wright, of the In
dan service, gives this account Of the
peculiar practice:
From time immemorial the Devils
Lake Sioux have adhered to an old GUS
tom in regard to the treatment Of the
guest According to their etiquette it is
the duty of the host to supply his guest
wjfh all the food he may desire, and as
a rule, the apportionnent set before the
visiting Indian is much in excess OF
the capacity OF one man
Hardships Avoided.
But by the same question the guest
is obliged TO eat ali that IS placed be-
fore him, or he insults his entertainer.
II was found that this practice would
work a hardship, but instead of dis
pensing with the custom the Indian
method of reasoning was applied, and
what is known as the professional eater
was brought TO the front
While the guest is supposed TO eat all
that IS placed before him, II serves the
same purpose IL his neighbor assists in
devouring the repast, the main object
being TO have the plate clean when the
meal is finished
1T is not always practicable to depend
upon a neighbor TO assist in eating a
large dinner. and 10 insure the con-
sumption of the allotted portion visiting
Indians call upon professional eaters,
whose duty it is to sit beside them
through meal and eat what the guest
leaves The professional eaters are
never looked upon as guests, but more
as travelling companions with duty to
perform.
Receive 81 TO 81 a Day.
These eaters receive 81 to 81 and
even IS for each meal where they as
sist. II is stated by the agent at the
Devils Lake reservation that one OF the
professional eaters has been known TO
dispense of seventeen pounds of beef at
sitting That they are capable OF
eating an almost fabulous amount I can
