game is most frequently played. The pas
sion for winning at any cost has led teams
to resort TO unfair methods. Any player
suspected Of dirty work should be removed
from the game at once"

Clearly played" he replied. But II there
is any sign Of rough work that is inten-

my best to have the games stopped, and
It will certainly so hard with any cadet

There seems to be a good chance that
the annual game between the foot ball
teams Of Annapolis and West Point will
be held at washington instead OF at
Princeton. A great howl went UP when
It was announced that the contest would
be on the Tigers gridlron, as the little
Jersey town has not anything like the
accommodations for the crowds which will
attend. This game has grown to be a great
social and national sporting event. 1t is
attended every year by the president, the
members of the cabinet, the diplomatic
corps and senator's and congressman in
great number, and even II the lack of ac-
commodations were not considered II Is
but right that 1t should be held in the
national capital. 1t is expected that the
game will take place on the Eclipse, part
of the White House grounds. which Is said
to be admirably adapted for the purpose.
The commandants at Annapolis and West
Point have the matter under consideration
and It is probable that a decision viii be
reached within the next few days.

University Of Kentucky draw the color line
as sharp as a razor. They have refused
to play against the Northwestern university
eleven unless Mstah Johnsing is with
drawn from the lineup. And the game is
off. Johnson was secured by the North
western team from Carlisle. The southern
ers say that he is not an Indian, but has a
preponderance of Ethiopian blood in his
veins Coach Mccormick of the North
western team, however, is loyal to the dark
skinned player and tartly told the Ken
tuckians they could take their rag doll
and go home
The athletic committee OF the Chicago
Athletic association has decided to abandon
the scheme for a foot ball team this fall,
owing to the failure to secure games for
the club eleven. The chairman OF the COM
mittee said None OF the prominent west
ern colleges will play an athletic team, and
we could not get a game with any of the
prominent athletic clubs, as neither the
New York Athletic club nor the Olympic
Athletic club of San Francisco has foot
ball team this fall.
The Bellevue college foot ball squad Is
fast developing into a we'll trained bunch
of foot ball men and every one OF the
| thirty men in uniform each night is strug-
Cling for a position on the team that will
represent the school in its struggle for SUI
premacy in this sport. The team will be
the best that hard work and conscientious
training can produce in a college Of Belle
vues size with less than seventy-fve men
| in attendance. The strongest point this
year will be team work. and that together
with speed, has been given the attention
| Of the coaches. Captain Brown will run
the team from his position at quarter.
where he has shown leadership and skill
as a general. The halves will be filled by
| the Benson brothers of Omaha, and as both
are fast and sure ground gamers, much will
be expected of them. Harte is at fullback
and is fierce line plunger and a sure
ground gamer. The ends are fast and sure
tacklers and fast on punts, and these posi-
tions will be filled by Loring, Baskerville
and Marvel. The tackles will be Agnew al
left and Pearson at right. These men, to-
gether with Walcott and Barry as guards
and Kearns at center. make a stone wall
| on defense which is hard to beat in any
team. Hamblin as substitute quarter Is a
fast and sure man, and in case OF injury
to the captain, should fill the position with
credit to his school.
| The practice this week has been the hard
| est Of the season, an hour every evening
being given to fierce scrimmages with the
second team. This has put the first team
in first-class shape.
