Enthusiastic fans who recall the days of the

rival Of Herbert Holcomb Of the vaudeville team

ball in Faribault if not in the state, when
playing on the Shattuck school team in 1882.

the Faribault Independents for the amateur
championship of the state, and we won by a
score of 81 to 3, something like that says
Mr.. Holcomb in relating his baseball expert
ences. ''The curved ball I pitched not
much like the curved ball Of today. I got the
trick from Larry Corcoran of the then famous
Chicago white stockings, and all I knew how
to do was to give the ball wide sweep, but
it certainly worked. If the ball started out

it started in he would dodge drop fiat.

Illinois Coach Thinks Poor Stu
dents Make Poor Football
Players.

Champaign, ILL.,, Aug. 2e.-The hand Of the
faculty is likely to fall heavily upon the ILL.,
nois football squad this fall. There are a NUM-
Der of delinquents upon the football roster who
have not made the required grades in their
studies. These cannot play football until their
standing as students is up to the required
mark.
Chief among those who will in all likelihood
be absent this fall is big Haze1wood the star
center This will be severe blow to the
prospects of the team. Inasmuch as Rathgeb
and Fairweather, who were also adjudged all
western timber last year, will not be able to
looks like a tremendous one
Asked about the prospects for the eleven this
fall, Mr.. Lowenthal said:
this time last year, but not as good as we
hoped they would be at the close of the
season last year.
Questioned concerning the likelihood Of de-
linquencies in studies depicting his squad, Coach
Lowenthal advanced a novel idea. He said:
II consider who won't keep up in his
studies yellow. 1 hope they chase all the NUT
tonheads who either can't or won't make good
in their classes. I don't want any of them. I
certainly regard a who quits In his studies
as being as yellow who quits on the
field. 1t takes grit to buckle down to study
as well as 1t does to play football. sometimes
think the grit needed to force yourself to study
is more valuable than the purely physical STAN
ina of an athletic contest. Anyway we need
brains in football. The best student in a foot.
ball squad nine out of ten makes the
best player. have regrets losing
player because he is behind in his studies
believe the personnel Of a team is better without
him."

FOOTBALL TALK
GROWING DAILY
Enthusiasts Discussing the Merits
and Prospects of the Western
Teams.
BY O'LoughiIn.

With the assembling of the football
squad OF the university but short
time ahead the rooters are beginning
to think and talk football. The strength
OF Minnesota is the topic Of CONVEX
sation wherever the enthusiasts gather
and the question is battling one Until
the. team gets back to Northrop field
and starts to work it will be hard to
get any line on the ability Of the play
ers or the strength Of the material.
The makeup Of the team is matter
OF conjecture. Hope was added to the
prospect this week by the news of the
return, in good standing, of Percy
Brush. Last year Brush was a power
ful player, but toward the latter part
OF the season was bothered with sick
ness and received injuries in the North
western game which kept him out of
the play at Iowa. He entered the uni
versity last fall and won the coveted
IN In his first year: He received
much valuable training in gridiron tao
| strongest players in the west.
Brush is an exemplifcation Of the
idea of the coach at Illinois that it
takes a good student to play football
and rise above mediocrity. He is a
splendid student and in bad places was
a, quick thinker and as quick to act.
This has been notable in Minnesota
teams of late years The stars of the
Comparison Of the chances of the
western teams are being banded about
rather carelessly. Michigan will have
some heavy losses to make up and on
the face Of the outlook will not have
as strong a team as that Of the past
few seasons. Wisconsin enthusiasts
are banking much upon the coaching
Of Phil King and Holt. Chicago is
going in for beef and lots of it, the
Stage list showing that he will have
the heaviest team in the west this year.
Nebraska will be strong as there will
Iowa has an array Of new talent and
much of it's old. Northwestern is keep
ing well under cover and little has been
learned about the outlook at Evanston.
| Minnesota has suffered severely thru
the working of the one-semester rule
and the loss Of some Of the old stars.
While this means holes to fill, it also
means that it opens up chances to get
on Minnesota varsity team for some
! Of those who have acted as subs, and
locally the honor is regarded as such
that these players will work their heads
! Oft to gain the coveted position. Min
nesota followers of football have come
to look upon DR.. Williams as able tc
| produce western champions from any
sort Of material. While there is moth
ing greatly discouraging in the outlooI
at present, the new rule puts heavy
burden upon the coach. Much depends
this year upon the work of the men who
try for the team. To win in face oil
the conference rule regarding fresh
men, will place Minnesota in the front
rank, beyond cavail, in western foot
ball. And Minnesota 8 teams are home
products, not gathered from the point.

MICHIGAN MAY LOSE
BIG TOM HAMMOND

Chicago, Aug. 26-The University of Michigan
football team will lose at least one player by
faculty objections this fall. 1t was reported by
Chicago friends of Harry Hammond that he
had been conditioned in two Of his studies last
year, and that he had not made them up during
the summer
He has made no attempt to square himself
with the faculty, altho his brother, Tom Ham
mond, has worked like Trojan all summer
to square himself and has succeeded admir-
ably. -
Harry Hammond played end on the Michigan
team last fall and by the end of the season
was playing an acceptable, tho not a brilliant
game. At the close of the season the dean s
reports showed that the Hammond brothers had
been treated very harshly by the professors and
had little show of being able to make IN the
back work.
1t was then announced that both of them had
decided to quit the institution and to 90 into
business Chicago friends urged the boys to
make up the work, and Tom did it. He ought
to be the star of the Michigan team this fall,
and 1t Is understood that he Is strong favor
lite for captain for next year.

UGLY LOOK TO THE
RYAN.GARDNER BATTLE

San Francisco, Aug. 26.-The 25-
round fight at Colma last night between
Jimmy Gardner and Buddy Ryan, ended
in the sixteenth in a most unsatisfac-
tory manner, Referee Roach giving the
fight to Gardner, but declaring bets off,
as Ryan s seconds persisted in claiming
foul at the end of the fifteenth round.
Gardner had the advantage in reach
and showed greater cleverness. Ryan
in several rounds had Gardner guessing
badly. The first three rounds Of the
fight were notable because Of Ryan S
fierce rushes and Gardner blocking.
Then Ryan took a hand and for two
rounds Ryan forced the fighting.
Then Gardner came back in the sixth
and slaughtered Ryan for two rounds,
jabbing him with straight lefts and
countering on the head with the right.
The eighth was Ryan's best showing.
He hit Gardner with hard rights over
the eye, making it bleed and he forced
on till the thirteenth it was all Gardner,
Ryan receiving heavy punishment about
the. mouth and nose, but taking the
gaff like a major. Ryan recuperated
in the thirteenth and in this and the
fourteenth honors were even. In the
fifteenth Ryan showed good work in the
opening, but Gardner punished him
heavily with right and lefts and near
the end landed terrific right and left
blows, just on the line of the belt.
They may have been fouls, but they
could not have hurt the vitals. Ryan IS
seconds took the cue of foul and made a
great complaint, his timekeeper, Gala
CHER, even jumping into the ring, but
Roach threw him out and ordered the
fight to go on. Ryan was again
dropped to the carpet when the bell
saved him.
chair, but his seconds refused. and
when they saw that Roach had deter
mined to call the sixteenth they threw
up the sponge. Roach gave the fight
to Gardner, but declared all bets off.
