Tapioca is manufactured from the
plant called in Brazil manioc, in Peru
yucca and in the West Indies cassaya.
When the true starch is separated
from the root it IS placed on hot plates
and while it is heating is stirred with
an iron rod. The starch grains burst,
and the whole agglomerates into small,
Irregular masses. Pearl tapioca is not
a product of the plant at all, but of
potato starch.

Coach for Next Year.
The coachship question likely will be
considered by the Nebraska board within
a few days after the close Of the season.
Because Of the disastrous defeats sus-
tained in the Michigan and Minnesota
games a few criticisms have been passed
upon Booth hut these are discredited al
most unanimously by the Nebraska hoard.
The chief question, rather. seems to hinge
upon whether or not Booth will care to
continue coaching. He Is settled In the
practice Of law in New York City and con-
siderable persuasion was needed to induce
him to accept a year ago for another sea-
son. Even then he would probably have
spurned Nebraska's proposition had IL not
been for the knowledge that the Cornhusk-
ers might OFFER the place to Hogan, the
former Yale captain. Booth. being from
Princeton the old rivalry for anything
which smacks Of Eli cropped out and
Booth finally sent word that he would come
back for 1905. The present year has been a
disappointing one for the average Ne
braska rooter. but It Is admitted that bad
weather and a lack Of high-class material
has figured largely in the teams III sue
cess II was Booth who first gave the
Cornhuskers prominence in western foot
ball and for five successive seasons. be-
ginning in 1900 Nebraska was given rank
with most Of the strong conference elevens.

anxious that Booth shall return. and the

NEW YORK, Nov B-Columbia univer-

mittee. Prof. Lord, chairman; Prof. Mitch

Ter and Dean Kirchwey and Prof. Bogert,

Prof. Lord said after the meeting of the
committee:
''The reasons for this action needs nc
explanations. They must be present to the
mind of every one acquainted with the
game as now played. Only by such radical
action can the university and college life
be rid Of an obsesslon. which II is be
lieved has become as burdeusome to the
great mass Of students as 1t has proved
itself harmful to academic standing, and
dangerous to human life"

of Columbia university in abolshing foot
ball as a college sport.
IT am not in favor of the elimination
Northrup continued. "On the contrary,
am very strongly in favor of it's retention
| There is no question but that changes
should be made in the game as played
at present. In my opinion the rules can b,
so amended as to make the plays more
| open; more punting and end runs and
! fewer mass formations and scrimmages
| Therein lies the chief danger of brutaiit,
| or of foul play. What should be don,
| Is TO make the game one OF skill rather
| than contest in which brute strength
