The Carlisle Indian school has opened
It's preliminary work in foot ball for the
coming season with larger number Of
candidates than has ever before been seen
at this stage OF the season. In addition to
the coaches there we're thirty-seven In
dams out The men who appeared for
practice were In good shape physically,
many Of them having Just come from the
industrial shops at the school or from the
work which is provided for them in the
surrounding country by the schools out
ing system. Coach Woodruff is constantly
drilling the candidates up and down the
field with the idea Of finding their wind
and condition. The redskins showed alb
solutely no fatigue at the first practice,
but ran of the field with n vigor that
amazed the onlookers. Not a man has
since suffered in the slightest from stiffen-
ing II is thought that the Eskimo.
Nil1ifer schouchuk. may return TO Carlisle
soon. and, with the addition of c.
Kennedy, Carlisle will be we'll fixed at
center. The practice so far has consisted
entirely Of efforts to fsmiliarize the candi-
dates with handling the ball and an at
tempt to develop a punter.
Considerable doubt surrounds the ability
Of Coach Yost to organize another winning
foot ball team for Michigan. Even at Ann
Arbor this question exists and reports are
that those who believe Mr.. Yost cannot
capture another championship this year are
as numerous as those who believe he can.
He is said to be up against the proposition
Of his life and to realize something OF the
straits he is in, but the man with the
smile that won't come OF" does not for a
minute admit his inability to perform the
task before him He is going about It with
all the zeal that has previously character
lied his work and may come out OF the
predlcament better than his friends now
fear. Yost has, however, made one conces-
sion and that is that he cannot replace Hes
ton, the star halfback Of the foot ball
world. Carter, the great guard, is another
missing man whose place cannot be filled
this year. It is because Of such deficiencies
as these that makes Hurry Up" Yosts
task a formidable one. Yost has the conso-
lation, however, of knowing that other
teams are pretty much in the same fix and
that after ALL relatively, he may be able to
get together as good team as he has had.
This situation in the western foot bail
world is arousing great anxiety Admirers
of the game are asking themselves the
question: rs It going to be necessary for
us TO witness a lower standard of ball this
year than usual7"
Not the least interesting feature Of Hurry
up Yosts book is the collection of crisp
paragraphs in the way of advice TO the
players that the author refers to as
"hurry-ups" He says the players should
hurry up and

Colonel A. r. Kuser OF Bernardville, N. j.,
an enthusiastic automobilist, who owns
three machines. seems to think that the
motorists themselves, through their reck-
less driving, are largely responsible for the
feeling of hostility toward them which pre-
walls in the rural districts. He says: II
greatly lament the evil repute into which
automobiling has fallen. I ride from Atty
to 100 miles every day and am familiar with
the evils as we'll as the pleasures Of the ex-
he accidents
that have lately occurred in different parts
Of the country, the frequent killing Of ami
mails In the roads and highways, the dare
devil speed that some reckless drivers OF
these machines seem to glory in showing
have all tended TO embitter the public mind
against them and to suggest measures OF a
drastic character. That is what automo-
bilists must expect unless they take mat
tiers in hand and provide remedies that are
reasonable and at the same time effective
Two points have occurred to me in the
framing OF a law. First. only licensed per-
sons should be allowed to run automobiles
They should be required TO pass an exami-
nation by experts and to secure license
under state authority. This seems TO me
would IN many states strike at the root OF
existing evils. In the second place I think
the automobilists should be required to pay
a MODERATE yearly Incense Zee. Inc amount
OF this fee should be graded according to
the size OF the machine. A sixty-horse-
power machine should pay six times as
much as a ten-horsepower machine. The
revenue derived from this license should be
made a special fund for the repair Of public
roads"
Many OF the details for the coming auto
mobile show at Madison Square Garden
were settled at a recent meeting OF the
board OF managers of the Licensed Auto
mobile Manufacturers. Instead OF having
the exhibits scattered about indiscrimi-
nately on the various floors II has been de-
cided to classify them so that visitor may
learn quickly Just where certain types can
be seen. Gasoline and steam cars will be
on the main floor, electric vehicles in the
restaurant, commercial vehicles and bodies

in the galleries. An EFFORT is being made TO

space will not be made until the next meet
