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

The installation OF the training table at
Nebraska has been delayed by the Illness
of Booth, but the athletic authorities de-
cided that It should go into effect at once.
Only six men are to be given places at the
start, but additions are to be made from
day to day until II includes twenty men.
Assistant Coach Westover, after a con-
sultation with Booth, has virtually decided
upon policy of switching one or two OF
the varsity men in the lineup. One Of the
possible changes is that Of Weller from the
back field to one of the tackles where
his presence, because of his strong play
on the defensive, would come in good
stead. Westover is also giving Eager, the
midget halfback, a tryout at quarter.
Eager has the experience and also the ag-
gressiveness to make a strong quarter
back, and the question of locating him
there permanently seems TO hinge upon
his ability to handle the ball as quickly
and cleanly as is required of the man In
that position. Eager is not needed at half
back, because of the rather large list Of
substitutes, and the determination to try
him at quarter appears to be happy sug-
gestion.

The Chicago university foot ball team
expects TO use a curiosity this year which
has not been tried since the time OF
Hirschberger, who was probably the
greatest kicker in foot ball history. This
fall Quarterback Echersall will kick goals
from the drop instead of the placement
after a touchdown has been made. He has
been practicing along these lines for the
past few days and appears TO have been
pre-eminently successful.

More than 100000 will be expended by
those interested in trying to win the cup
offered by w. X. Vanderbilt, Jr., to en-
courage the building of safe and fast motor
cars, although the actual value OF the cup
itself is only 5000. The race will be held
on October Il. with the trials next satur-
day. 1t is estimated that the twenty-seven
cars named by America, France, Germany,
and Italy, cost more than 5000, 900 and the re-
mainder will be expended for drivers and
mechanics, their salaries and expenses, the
repair stations, extra tires, and the policing
and promoting Of the race, not to speak Of
the money that will be spent by the specta-
tors. Probably $4,000 people will view the
two contests over the Long Island circuit.
They will spend an average OF 81 each,
some living at high class hotels and paying
80 for their seat in the grandstand, while
others will locate on the various parts of
the course, and view the race without ex-
pense other than their refreshment. Many
will eat o'clock breakfasts in the New
York hotels, and catch the early trains for
Mineola which is eighteen miles from the
metropolis. Each driver in the race will
have four or five repair stations with three
or four expert mechanics in each, which
will make about $50 Of these men. Tires at
800 set will be ruined by the score and in
the case of punctures will be cut Off with
sharp knives to save time in making re-
placements.

Baker Is himself playing the quarter back
position. Tint the Commercials present
good strong line on defense was demon
strated in their first practice game which
was played with a pick up team the Bird.
The pickups played a hard and pluclSy
game. but were able TO make their distance
only once. The Omaha Commercials made
good gains and lost the ball but twice. once
because OF a tumble and once because OF
off-side play. The college boys showed up
much better on defensive than in offensive
work. They are improving rapidly and
giving evidence Of developing splendid team
work. Practically all the men who are
working for places on the team were tried
out during the game and the showing made
was highly gratifying to the coach. Pike
last years quarter for the Commercials
who is now playing on the Nebraska Uni
versity team was present at the practice a
few evenings ago, and expressed himself as
much pleased with the prospects for "a win
ming team at the Omaha Commercial college
this fall. The schedule is practically COM
plete and a number Of fast and heavy teams
will be played The first game was with
Doan college at Crete yesterday followed a
week later by the Bellevue college game at
Bellevue. Amity college of College Springs,
Ia, Fort Crook, Tabor college and Tarkio

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 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
OF is on. Golf was taken up, with added
zeal this summer and the number of play
ers was increased very materially. all OF
which was a source OF pleasure to the
directors Of the clubs. A fine quality of
men engage in this sport and the life of
the club is insured as long as there is a
game that will interest the best people
that the town affords. The question OF the
location OF the play for the Transmissis-
sppl championship has not been decided
as yet. The Field club can have it IL de-
sired, but there is doubt as to the ability
of the directors to prepare the new grounds
in time for the tournament.

| Coaches, players, students faculty and all

at the University Of Chicago This is
claimed to be no bear story, but the plain
unadulterated truth. Few old players have
returned, although 1t was expected that
| several more of these would appear at the
last minute. The whole center trio is gone
and the coaches have a number of men of
considerable weight but OF little expert

that is the appearance of Bateman, who
| may be expected to play an acceptable
| game at center. Quarterbacks are as scarce
| as hens teeth and were il not for Wheeler

colored lad. Conditions back of the line are
much better, Carruthers and Kirk half

he will emulate the example of Jake stahl
He is giant, strong as an OK, and all that

Merchandise to the value Of more
than $1OO,O00,0OO was imported into
Egypt last year, Of which consider
ably less than $1,000,000 worth was
imported direct from the United

80 per cent. of Egypt's imports were
of a class that could have been sup
piled from the United States, the most
important of them being commodities
Of which we are large producers.
Surely Egypt is a field for intelligent
cooperation on the part Of American
manufacturers who are DESTROYS of ex-

that the Yukoners expect to utilize
