Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1905-10-01


coached by three Of the best men who ever
fell on a pigskin. Morley was a little later
in arriving this year than usual. but his
! assistants. Jack Wright and Dick Smith
have succeeded admirably in putting the
candidates through the various degrees of
! rough house.
There is gloom at Princeton I'm the camp
| OF the Tigers over the foot ball prospects
this year. Hopes for a heavy team have
been shattered by the failure Of the fresh
man class to thus far produce the heavy
line men necessary to take the places OF
| Short and Stannard OF last years team.
McFadden, the 225-pound guard from Ex-
eter, of whom great things were expected,
/ has failed to pass his entrance examina-
tons and will have to take another year
! in the preparatory school. The only line
man who gives sign OF real promise is
! Frier Of Hill school, who is a fast and
] aggressive tackle and should make a
] strong bid for STANDARDS place on the
right side Of the line. Although the Tigers
! will not have a heavy team this year, how
! ever. they are sure Of a fast and agrees
sive one, and Coach DOC" Hillsbrand
will endeavor to make up in speed what
is lacking in weight.
Although the University Of Pennsylvania
| foot ball coaches refuse to admit It the 1906
squad has at times numbered as high as
! fifty men and this alone has given the
! Quakers assurance that the material this
| year will be better than at any time since
| the middle of the eos. Just what the
coaches will make of II is a different matter,
| but since the 1904 regime is again in control
there is every reason for the belief that
| Pennsylvania will once more be a top
| rha thaf ha
raised the hopes of all is the unexpectedly
| large number of preparatory school stars
! who have commenced work on the field this
! year. Many OF these will, Of course, fall
! by the waysde but the splendid record
| which Pennsylvania eleven made last fall
when 1t went through the season, not only
without defeat but without being scored
on, has certainly excited the admiration of
all the schoolboys, though the return OF the
veteran trainer, Mike Murphy, may have
had something to do with this.

Yale is hard at work and endeavors are
still being made to fill all of the gaps, seri-
Gus as some of these gaps are. The stu
| dents are happy over the fact that three
! Of the most promising players who were
hanging back returned in a single day.
| They included Dan Mackay, tackle, the base
ball player; Arthur Erwin, center, the base
ball catcher and Phil Smith, center. Smith
and Erwin are 200-pounders and they make
quite an impression on the average weight
of the members of the foot ball squad.
Though Harvard lost Mills at fullback and
KEENAN, at quarterback and one end there
is no doubt but that the foot ball team at
Cambridge is the best that has been seen
in years and the students are enthusiastic
over the manner in which they are starting
out and the prospects of the approaching
victories.
From the present outlook the redmen
at Carlisle will have a faster team than
has represented the school for several
years. Under the coaching of George
Woodruff the Indians are making rapid
progress. The work each day consists of
! signal practice and scrimmages. There has
been a rapid development of practically
the whole squad in the exercises of CATCH
ing the ball and punting drop and place
kicking. During the past few days the /
elaborate set of signals in which the red
skins have been trained has been per-
fected and foot ball players the country
over will watch with great interest for
results in this particular.
More than 40 candidates are practicing
for the Leland Stanford university foot
! bali team this year, the greatest number
in the history of the university, and keen
| competition for all OF the positions on the
! team is now the order of the day. The
| squad contains many veterans, however,
and Stamford expects to have one of the
strongest teams in its history. The prac-
| tice. which is in charge of Coach Lana
gan and Captain Chalmers consists of rum
| ming and kicking and handling the ball
! in the orthodox fashion, but the Leland
| Stanford people say that they have sew
eral new wrinkles this year which give
promise Of startling their eastern brethren
before the season is over.

! It appears to be the general opinion
among hunters OF South Dakota that they
are prohibited by the provisions OF the state
game law from selling prairie chickens and
| other game birds, even within the state.
John w. Hutchinson of Sioux Falls, former
game warden OF Minnehaha county and an
acknowledged authority upon this matter
states that this view is incorrect. Many
still believe that Mr.. Hutchinson is still
acting as game warden and he is frequently
asked whether or not there is a law In
South Dakota preventing the sale of game
In referring to the matter he said: II laid
the matter before Attorney General Hall
they both made the same answer, that they
could not find any law to prevent the sale
of game birds In South Dakota. OF course
should a person attempt to sell more than
fifteen birds he could he arrested for hav-
ing more birds in his possession than the
law allows. but he could not be touched for
selling the birds. AS the law is scrutinized
more closely the weak points in it are being
brought out" With the object of remedying
defects IN the present game law Mr.. Hutch
inson and other leading sportsmen of South
Dakota are arranging to hold a meeting
prior to the holding Of the next session of
the legislature for the purpose of deter
mining upon amendments which are neces-
sary to be made TO the game laws OF the
state II is believed that as a result of
such meeting the game laws can be made
among the best Of the country.
Golfing is being prosecuted with all of the
vigor which the golfers can muster to
finish up the different cup contests before
cold winter will put a stop to the play.
Rain did not stop the play during the re-
cent state tournament, but cold weather
makes nearly all OF the golfers put their
sticks away until spring. Most OF the
cups have been contested for monthly dur
ing the summer and now the final play
