Secretary-Treasurer F. J. Marble Of the
Omaha Bowling association announces the
selection OF three teams OF picked men
from the membership OF the association
who will meet the champion Gunthers of
Chicago. The Gunthers come with a really
formidable reputation as experts. probably
having no superiors in the bowling world.
but the local men are reckoning to make
them show their prettiest PAGES. The three
games scheduled with the champions are
to be played on the association alleys on
Harvey street, between Thirteenth and
Fourteenth, the first game to be rolled
at o'clock Sunday afternoon. No. 2 team
OF the locals will first face the Gunthers
with the following bowlers: Conrad, Reed
Anderson, Frush and Denman. Sunday
evening No. team Of the locals will play.
1t consists OF F'ritcher, Potter, Gjerde,
Huntington and Sprague. Monday after
noon at 2:30 the third game will be played,
with the following Omaha men in the
lineup G. o. Francisco, Tonneman. Clay,
Johnson and Neale. So much interest Is
being evinced in these games by local
bowling experts and their friends that a
large attendance is looked for at the three
games. Extra preparations have been made
to accommodate those who attend, and
women will find warm a welcome as the
men. The Gunthers will arrive in Omaha
Sunday morning. They are always in good
practice, but they will spend Sunday morn
ing in getting acquainted with the run of

The Harvard Bulletin protests against
the action of the athletic committee in
declaring Coburn eligible TO play base ball
as follows:
We believe the Harvard athletic commit
tee has made another mistake in deciding
that Coburn may play on the university
base ball nine next spring. There seems TO
be no doubt that under the strict and pre-
else Interpretation of the rules he is eiigi-
Bile, but we submit that the committee
should have said that he had already PLAYED
long enough. 1t is said in behalf of Coburn
that he has legal right" to play. No
one has right to represent Harvard in
intercollegiate sports; to do so should be
II the athletic committee wants to es-
tablish a high standard in Harvard ath-
letics II should rule against Harvard when
either the spirit or the letter of the rules
seems to be adverse. The action OF the
athletic committee has caused some un-
favorable comment from some Of our
rivals and from the public. In our opinion
that is one of the things to be avoided
even If by doing so we lose a man who

The failure Of the ranking committee of
the United States Lawn Tennis association
to make its report has aroused considerable
irnpatience and criticism. Among those who
participated in active tournament play DUR
ing the past season the opinion Is unani-
nous that Beals c. Wright Of the Long
wood Cricket club, Boston, the national
champion, should be placed at the head Of
the list for the year. Holcombe Ward, the
defeated champion. because of his showing
against Belgium, France, Austria, Austria
lasia and finally England in the internal
tional matches last July, and his win OF the
London championship. is also regarded uni
versally as the man for the second place,
with william A. Larned, also of the Amer
lean challenging team, third, for the same
reasons. 1t is after placing these three that
many of the experts show difference or
opinion. Clarence Hobart, Kreigh Collins,
Richard Stevens and William ]. Clothier,
the latter also of the American interna-
tional team, are named for the fourth place.
Because of Hobart's splendid performances
in winning the Lonswood tournament and
coming through to the finals in the national
championship at Newport he is rather
favored to rank ahead OF the others. Hobart
was defeated only six times during long
season upon the courts OF this country.
Alexander defeated him twice early in the
year. but each time 1t was In such a closely
played match that single stroke might
have changed the result. Karl Behr, Yale's
champion, defeated him at Nahant, Richard
Stevens defeated him in the semi-finals at
Southampton on wet courts and Larned de-
feated him at Iongwood. Hobart won his
way TO the final at Newport. defeating
Stevens and Collins and going down before
Wright, who attained the championship A
majority OF the experts believe that on class
he surpasses the other men named. They
are inclined to place the first six men as
follows: Wright, Ward, Larned, Hobart,
| Collins and Clothier.
| It is upon Clothier that the greater num-
| Der of the experts differ. In a competitive
sense his only showing was made as a
| member of the American team in England
| but the fact that he was player on that
team is regarded as sufficient to insure him
a high standing.

There is more truth than fiction In the
saying, 1.-The hand that rocks the cradle
rules the world" Automobile statesmen
are realizing the truth of this statement
more and more every day. The question
OF buying an automobile is often a serious
one in a family, and a lengthy discussion
usually takes place before the final pur-
chase is made. Whether the machine be
runabout or a high-priced touring car.
the wife's judgment often decides the ques-
ton or late it has become a fad for So
ciety ladies' to do their shopping in ma
chimes. and as result the limousine type
of body is becoming very popular in the
larger cities. Among the middle class,
where chauffeur is too expensive
luxury, a runabout which can be operated
by a woman has found decided favor.
Those companies making machines which
can be operated with ease by the gentler
sex have been exceedingly fortunate, as
has been shown by the great increase in
their sales during the last year.

The report that Michigan and Pennsyl-
vania are to meet shortly after Christmas
for dual track honors receives new cred
ence through a statement made by Mana
ger Baird of the Ann Arbor university. He
states that while nothing definite has been
decided upon, the matter is still under
discussion and may result in a contest. At
the same time Michigan's hope for foot
ball game with one OF the great eastern
elevens is still INDUCED in. The contract
with Illinois for Thanksgiving day is left
indeterminate, so that If by any means one
of the eastern colleges can be induced to
visit Ann Arbor for contest the date may
be open for 1t.
