Grams when they battied with the Univer-
sity of Indiana eleven at Marshall Field
Saturday. Coach Stages men won out IN
the hardest fought contest Of their early
season schedule, but suffered the humil1a-
ton of having their goal line crossed In
the first half, which resulted in a to o
score In favor of the Hoosiers. Couch Shell
don's charges proved to be the most
formidable representatives of the Bloom

In years. The Indiana team was a distinct
surprise, and from Its showing against
Stages proteges 1t doubtless will give
good account of itself this season. The
Hoosier defense was remarkably strong and
the fighting spirit of the visitors was shown
when. several times. they held the heavy
Maroons solid when their goal was threat

Assisted by Mayor Dunno and Beloit Col
lege, Northwestern University dedicated its
new $4,000 athletic field Saturday after
noon. Chicago's executive supplied the nee
essary ceremonies, but Beloit failed to fui-
fill its part upon the program Invited as
mere dedfcatory lambs to be slaughtered
after the classic precedent, the Yellow and
Black players stubbornly refused to be
thrown submissively upon the altar and
tramped wantonly under foot by Wallie'
McCormack's young men. The game was

Tom Kirby of Georgetown University Is
doing good work in the coaching of West
ern High School. together with Coach Bo-
cock and much credit should be given to
him for the conduct of the line OF western
High School in the game with Eastern.
Bocock Is attending to the men behind the
line and Kirby's work is with the men max
ing up the line. He has taught Harrington
plays that are marvels and his instruction
as to the proper running with the ball has
developed the big Western tackle into
about the fastest tackle in the high schools
of the city Worthington has been devel-
oped into another star, tackle. kirbys sue
cess has been to a great extent in the
punting of Warrington, who Is perhaps the
best punter of the pisskin upon the local
high school gridison. Sharpe and Calvo
are both showing up we'll at the ends. as is
Bland. the big center. Calvo is little
player, but the way he gets into the plays
and tackles shows that he is quick to take
to Kirby's teachings. Finch on right end

positions are also coming forward in their
playing.
The "Middies'' certainly made a flying
finish in their contest with Dickinson Sat
urday when they made the only touchdown
and kicked goal with only thirty seconds
to play. That is one of the strong points
OF the midshipmen in that they never give
up until the last second Of the contest has
licked off and the whistle has blown for
the ceasing of play. To be held without
scoring Is equivalent with big school TO
being scored on. and the midshipmen work
ed like Trojans with victory as their re.
ward at the close.
Magoffin made one of the touchdowns for
Michigan in the contest last Saturday at
Ann Arbor in which the Wolverines had
as their opponents the strong team of Van
derbilt University. which is being coached
by Michigan, one OF fosts former star
guards. In this contest Vanderbilt used
Michigan's ground-gaining plays, and as
the Tennessee team Is the strongest in the
south, Michigan had all they could do to
run up 10 points in the two twenty-five
minute halves. Yost was enthusiastic in his
praise of his former guard work as shown
in the general work of the Vanderbilt
team. This praise coming from Hurry
Up certainly must be merited. for he rare
ly mentions the work of any team or can
didate, or particularly brilliant playing on
the part of any of the Wolverines.
President Roosevelt's "anti-brutality"
opinions expressed Monday at a confer
ence of foot ball coaches representing east
ern colleges exclusively, are applicable to
the gridiron game in the west as we'll as
In the east according to Coach Stage of
the University of Chicago. says the Chi
cago Record Herald. Although the Maroon
director was not favored with an invitation
to the gathering at the White House, he
declares himself greatly interested in the
Presidents movement against brutality on
the foot ball field
AS Coach Stage holds the honor OF be-
ing the western representative on the ma
'tional foot ball rules committee. western
foot ball followers were surprised to learn
that he had not been summoned to the
conference at Washington. In view of
the Presidents personal acquaintance
and friendship with the eastern coaches
and the fact that the gathering was not
regarded as formal. the omission of the
wizard coach from the list was not taken
as a slap at Chicago 1t was the opinion
of many In the western colleges, however
have been represented. and that Coach
Stage was the man for the place
Il am heartily in accord with President
Roosevelt's sentiments" said Coach Stage
in discussing the conference. Brutality
and unwarranted roughness in the game
should be frowned upon. There is much
of this brutality apparent at times, in
the west as well as in the east Presi-
dent Roosevelt's action in making known
his sentiments in the matter again will
bring the subject up for discussion at a
timely period, and may do much to better
conditions.
1T see 70 occasion for changing the foot
ball rules so as to make the game of
foot ball mlder. do not believe that Mr.
Roosevelt wants the game changed, but
that he wants to have all the unnecessary
and unsportsmanlike brutality abolished by
placing it IN the right light before the
players"
