SQUAD PUT THROUGH
PRACTICE FOR SPEED
Varsity Candidates Are Moving
Faster, but Do No Hard
Work

The varsity took it easy yesterday aft
ernoon and DR.. Williams put the members
of the first squad through a very light
signal practice, varied with occasional
sprinting matches to determine the speed
of the candidates. There was no scrim-
mage or anything that approached hard
work, as DR.. Williams considered the
team had earncS something of layof
by reason of the big score rolled up
against Shattuck in the second half.
The second and third teams were sent
through the signals for half an hour and
then turned loose on each other These
teams have some big, heavy men that
show promising form for the future. but
at present some of them are of a deep
sea verdancy. Yesterday afternoon one
of them got the ball on tumble and in
his wild excitement forgot where his goal
was, and after wandering back and forth
for time finally decided on the wrong
one. His lodging and sprinting was all
that could be desired, but his little mis-
take as to his destination provoked
Coaches Dobfe and LOOMS to the piont
of anguish.
Seen in signal practice the varsity is
showing much improvement daily and is
increasing speed at a good rate. The
team now goes down the field at fast
clip and the formations are beginning to
show eXactneSS that is very encourag irg.
The interference is becoming noticeable
and the men are following it much closer
and better than week ago.
The team will be put at harder work
today, as it will be called upon to meet
Carleton tomorrow afternoon, and this
will not be the simple proposition that
they have had to encounter thus far this
season. Last year Carleton won the inter
collegiate championship of the state and
played the university a good game. The
varsity was able to score but 90 points
against the TO oil
accounts the team is practically the same
this year, fully as strong If not stronger
and the followers of the varsity are now
busy forecasting the score
Saturdays game will serve as COM
parison of work of the present team with
that of last year. With the college play
ing the same game, the score will tell
whether the varsity is ahead or behind
last years form at this time of the year
Last year Carleton scored 1872 points to
their opponents 35. 30 of which were made
Dy the university and the other by Shat.

CONKLE UNABLE TO
THROW MAX LUTTBEG
WrestIers Go the Limit Without Fall
and VIII Try Again Saturday Night

), Max Luttbeg put another punctnre in
the pay envelope of Charles Conkle at
the Star theater last night by aiming
fifteen minutes with the touring light
weight Luttbeg, who has been seen in
st. Paul under the same conditions as
Conkle. demonstrated early in the game
that his aim was not to stay the limit,
but to secure the fail and he went after
Conkle from the start. Luttbeg forced
most of the work, but Conkle was clever
enough to wriggle out Of some serious
holds, and at times turned on Luttbeg
with a vengeance. After the match
Luttbeg offered to meet Conkle again UNI
der the same conditions, and as the Ca
madam appeared slow about accepting the
proposal Luttbeg agreed to stay twenty
minutes. Tonight Capt. Whitmore will
go to a fall with Conkle.
Harry Robinson, the South ST. Paul
wrestler, is out with a challenge to
wrestle Cenikle, and saying he is willing
to agree to throw Conkle in fifteen min
utes or work for nothing. Furthermore,
he Offers to take any side bets to rea-
sonabie amount that he can defeat the
Canadian. Robinson asserts that he has
made oveftures for match, but has
been turned down in manner that would
indicate that Conlxle does not care to
try conclusions with him.

Facts About Snakes

Allen $. Williams, who has been
camping out all summer at Storm
King Mountain, where he captured a
big collection Of snakes, gave a lee
ture tonight in Willard hall. The lee
turer carried 100 snakes in paper bags
and suit cases and kept them on a
piano when he was not exhibiting
them
Evidently the people of Mount Yer
non are not interested in the subject Of
snakes, for the audience was very SLIM
1t was understood that Mr. Williams
was only trying out his lecture, how
ever. and that he intends to devote
much time this winter talking to the
pupils of the New York city public
schools.
RI will tell you some very queer
things about snakes said he. "The BIZ
Bile begins with snake and later ON it
gives us to understand that a snake
can't hear. AS deaf as an adder is an
old saying. 1t is true that snakes have
no ears, but 1 have discovered that
they can hear through their tongues
Another remarkable thing that a
snake can do is to live for two years
without feeding. Then, again, 1 have
known cases where snakes have come
to life after they had been frozen as
stiff as walking sticks Last January
two of my blacksnakes We're frozen SO
hard that-I could have broken them in
pieces. My wife put them ON hot water
bags, and in an hour they began to
show signs of life. When about four
inches of their bodies were thawed out
she began feeding them hot milk, and
it was not long until they were wrig
Cling about the parlor floor as good as
new"
Mr. Williams said that recently one
of his snakes was suffering from indi
gestion. He found that he had swa1
lowed large hens egg. and in order
to cure him he hit him on the back and
crushed the egg, after which the reptile
recovered
Of the eleven kinds of snakes which
exist around New York Mr.. Williams
says only two are poisonous the cop
perhead and the RATHER. The others, he
says, such as black snakes, mill snakes,
garter snakes, wing snakes, ribbon
snakes and spreading adders are harm
less and should not be killed, because
they benefit the farmers and gardeners
by destroying bugs, moles, field mice
and angfeworms, which prey on fruit
and egetables.-New York Sun

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-In former years.
say decade or so ago, the pugilist who
did not wear the badge of his profession
In the shape of a broken nose or an en-
iarged finger joint or a ''cauliflower ear
was a rarity. A man was not considered
the proper sort of = fighter unless his
countenance bore traces of the battles
he had engaged in. Now however. very
few of the prominent fighters are so rec
ognizabie to the casual observer
There are several reasons for this, one
being that boxing has improved tenfold
since the time when John L. Sullivan,
Jack Dempsey and Jack McAuliffe were
the king pins in their respective classes.
Pugilists of the present day are admitted

certain to leave an impression IL it is not
attended to at once. Yet it is not always
the cieverest fighter who can retire from
the ring. without one tell-tale mark
Some of the most scientific boxers have
quit with bullying ears, tilted noses and
frowsy lips Take, for instance, George
Dixon.
Very few boxers in the business could
compare with him in point of knowledge
of the manly art Dixon at one time
could boast of never having received a

years, when his vitality, was Slapped by
indifferent living and too much training,
Dixon was afflicted with "cauliflower'
ear which he will carry to the grave.
Dixon has number of marks. especially
one over the left eye, to show that he
has been in the ring.
But this. scar was received only six
years ago in a fight with Frank Erne. Up
to that time the former featherweght
champion had been exchanging knocks
with the best of them for over ten
years
Young Corbett has no marks from his
many battles, yet he has figured in some
stirring contests where he has exchanged
punch for punch with his rivals. His face
is as smooth as g, seminary girls, and
his hands are as solid as a sllyscraper.
CorbettS proboSciS is as straight now as
the day he was born. Yet he admits that
it. -
Jim Corbett to this day Is always mis-
taken for an athletic clerk or commercial
man. Corbett has nose that is very
prominent. In a fight 1t would appear
the very point of attack, Yet through all
the years that Jim has been in the ring
none of his opponents has succeeded in
putting it out of shape or smearing it
over his visage. so to speak. Corbett
has also escaped any malforThatiOn of the
ears.
He does not regard this as pure luck.
He declares that close study and prac-
tice will keep any pugilist from being
honest in this assertion may be taken
from the fact. that most of his defeats
were the direct results of being smashed
on the body. @ft19Hsil

WORTH MILLIONS;
MANAGES FOOTBALL
Harold K. Vanderbilt the Active
Member of Harvafd's Grid
Iron Officials

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Sept. 29.-One
of the most valued members of the
Harvard Football association is Harold
Nissan Vanderbilt, second assistant
manager of the Crimson eleven Van
derbilt is very popular with the team
and with those Identified with the
management Of the football interests
in the college.
Whatever financial success Harvard's
gridiron athletes have this year will in
no small measure, be due to the eff
forts of young Vanderbilt. AS the
youngest and least experienced of the
three football managers, it is perfectly
natural that ne should do the most
work. That is the rule at Harvard.
The upper men map out plans. The
second assistant carries out the work
1t is the old. time-worn scheme OF
the men at the top reaping the benefit
OF their past iabors and the new man
earning by his present efforts the right
some future time to sit by, smoke his
pipe and direct others.
Vanderbilt, therefore, is industrious.
Each afternoon he can be seen on SOL
dier's field. running errands for the
manager and the first assistant and
doing all the painful, laborious, I'M
pleasant, mechanical work, which his
two superiors don't care to do them
selves. He always wears a pleasant
smile. however, and the weight of his
duties seems to rest lightly upon his
shoulders.
Vanderbilt is not novice in the art
of management. Last year he was
manager Of the 1907 freshman football
team, and as such displayed not only q
level head, but good executive ability.
He is only youngster as yet, and
naturally has few faults. These,
however, are more than offset by many
virtues. conspicuous among which is a
frank, good humored democracy which
displays itself in every feature of his
good-natured face.
This democracy is still further testi-
fled to by the name he bears-the un-
dignified sobriquet of Mike" Mike"
he is and always will be to the big
boned athletes who come under his
care. And as Mike" he likes best to
be known.
He is tall, lanky, awkward and over
grown. At the present period of his
growth he is little over six feet in
height, with slight stoop to his
shoulders and rambling although en-
ergetic, gait.
He seems to have many possibilities
in managing a football team, for in the
natural order of events he will some
day be the manager of Haryard's foot
ball team, with something like 100000
sitting through his fingers in single
year
Vanderbilt is quiet, unassuming fell
low and has many friends. He gets
along well with every one whom he
deals with, and doesn't seem-to realize
in the least that he has any more
money than anybody else.

several others received cuts and
bruises.
Spurred on by Coaches Chamberlain,
George Goss. Rafferty, and Mitchell and
Trainer Mike Murphy, the varsity and
college teams fought like fends. At
one time the rivalry became so great
that Owley, who took Rockwells place,
and Kineon, guard on the college team,
came to blows and were separated
with great difficulty. The varsity got
the better of the college only by the
hardest kind of work.
The tackle was shifted and close
formation tactics with straight line

and again the college repulsed the at
facks of the varsity and at times hit
the varsity line for good gains. Capt.
Hogan carried off the honors of the
afternoon. He was used on the tackle
