far the reports Of killings have been few.
In two instances hunters Of experience
have been killed while dragging their guns
through deadfalls. The conditions In the
timber country are not ideal for deer hunt
ing this fall. There Is little or no snow,
but as the woods are not extra dry trailing
can be done without very much noise, thus
making UP in some measure for the lack
OF snow. Game is plentiful. according to
the reports.
Bowling Is TO the front OF indoor games
In Omaha this winter and is holding the
attention OF many. While league matters
are absorbing most Of the interest to date,
plenty OF other games are played and many
good prizes are offered at the association
alleys. The women have quite generally
accepted the invitation OF the association
to use the alleys in the forenoon and each
morning sees many women at play. Plans
for the woman's tournament are incu-
batting, but the schedule has not been an
nounced. The woman's tournament at the
Field club during the summer was so sue
cessful that the association is quite en-
couraged 20 go ahead, put up suitable
prizes and to give the use OF the alleys.

It is probable that James J. Hogan, the
famous Yale tackle, will succeed Walter E.
Mccormack as coach of the Northwestern
University foot ball team. Early in the
season Mccormack announced that he would
not coach again after this year, and after
some discussion, in which the graduate
coaching system was rejected, Hogan was
selected as the man for the position Ne
gotiations with him have been opened and
have progressed very favorably. Hogan is
now coaching Phillips Exeter. Hogan re-
ceived his preliminary foot ball training at
Exeter under Mccormack, where he played
two years, being captain his last season.
In 1901 he entered Yale and made the var
sity eleven his first year in school, playing
in every game that season. He was the
regular right tackle for ELS the next three
years and completed his varsity year as
captain of the '04 eleven, champions of the
east.
Progressive men interested in bowling in
New York and other large eastern cities
have made up their minds that New York
ought to have the next national tourna-
ment and in their efforts, already started,
they expect TO receive the financial support
OF the 200 900 bowlers in New York City and
the cooperation of as many more in the
east. Said a prominent bowler who repre-
scented an investment of many thousand
dollars: 1T Is about time that the few men
who really represent the conservative rae
ton in the New York Bowling association
and also an extremely small minority of
bowlers in New York City awoke to the
fact that the tail no longer wags the dog.
or, to be more explicit that the American
Bowling congress, represented in every
large or small city in America where there
is an alley, must and should be the funda-
mental head OF bowling. For several years
| these men have been unable to see any
thing beyond the Hudson river, yet / am
sure that IL the matter of asking that the
next great tournament be held In New YORK
was to be settled by vote the local BOWERS
eight In every ten would favor the propo-
| sition. This indicates to what extent the
| New York Bowling association really rep
| resents the bowling interests OF the CITY,
| I am in favor OF local control OF the sport
| in many matters, but when such control Is
injurious to the best interests Of that which
it pretends to represent and to foster 1t is
better to go with the majority"

The subject of securing reliable touring
information for automobiles Throughout
the country was considered at much length
The association has for over year beer
busy compiling maps and routes, ana de-
scriptive maps covering many hundreds OF
miles have been printed. 1t is difficult
matter, however, TO obtain absolutely re-
liable information in all cases. In order
therefore, that the maps and road informa
ton furnished by the American Automo
bile association may be trustworthy,
special committee was authorized, to b.
known as the Route and Maps committee
Asa Goddard was appointed chairman, and
he will start in short time on series
OF long tours through different parts o.
the country. The information that he thu
obtains at first hand, regarding the con
dition OF roads, good hotels and deslrabilit!
of routes will be published in a more elab
crate form than has previously been done
The interest in automobile touring ha
increased to so great an extent that thu
American Automobile association believes
no time should be lost In supplying practi
cal information for long tours in all part
Of the country.
On the subject of good reads the Ameri
can Automobile association took a decide,
