CORNHUSKERS IN CAMP
NEBRASKA FOOTBALL BOYS ARE
DOWN NEAR souTHBEND.
MAY YET PLAY THE FRESHMEN
Mike Denslow OF Fremont is Going to
Make Good This Year, as Is Also
Young Drain, Brother Of Former
Star Player Ralph Drain.

Confident of another year of victory
the candidates for the Nebraska foot
ball team left for camp at South Bend
for ten days of hard practice in run
ming, kicking, swimming and tacklinE
There were twenty men In the crowd,
besides Manager Morrison and As.
sistant Coach Westover. Several 9TH

The men held meeting at the Lin.
dell hotel for the purpose OF getting
acquainted with the freshmen who
hope to make the team, and to discuss
plans for the season. Among the old
men present at the conference last
night were Denslow, Little, Mcdonald.
Drain, Morse, Lant2, Harvey, Wilson,
Johnson, Weller and Captain Borg.
All of these men have been working
on farms this summer and are in good
training to begin the season.
Still Lack Freshmen.
Nebraska expects to play all of the
freshmen who can make the team in
spite Of the protest of Minnesota Cap
tain Bork said last night that Nebras.
ka was not in the conference which
made the rule about freshmen, and
therefore she could not be bound by
its rules. He stated that If a freshman
could make good he should have a
place on the team. Among the fresh
men at the meeting last night was
Becky, who is said to be great
kicker. II is said that he is slated to
do the punting for the team this year
Without Benedict, the Nebraska team
of last year would not have had de.
cent kicker, and many of the games
were won through the prowess of his
kicking leg. The coaches have been
looking for a successor to "Bennie"
in this particular, and they are said
to be satisfied with the work of Beck
ly.
Mason, who was one of the stars on
the team two years ago, would like
to play this year, but may not be able
to do so because of poor records in
school work. The athletic board is

DensIoW is Good.
Denslow is regarded as a sure pla'
winner this year. He played on the
varsity team in parts of several games
last year and his work was first class.
Before coming to the university he
played four years with the Fremont
high-school football team. He is stock

Little, halfback for the scrubs" last
year, is a strong candidate for the
varsity team this year. He is speedy
and has shown himself to be ground
gamer. Lantz is also out for a DO
stion in the backfeld. Mcdonald. the
clever quarter of the scrubs" last
year, is looking for a similar position
on the varsity this year.

GET STOLEN WATCH
Chief Collins Of Chicago Receivers
Watch Stolen From Deputy
Sheriff HiIdebrande
MAY HAVE LOCATED FENCE.

Sheriff John H. Veitch received a
letter from Chief Of Police Collins Of
Chicago this morning, stating that he
had located the watch stolen from
Deputy Sheriff Andrew Hi1debrande
on the evening of October %. The
watch was found in a South Clark
street pawn shop in Chicago, where it
had been pawned by the thief. It is
possible that this pawn shop when in
vestigated will reveal other stolen
property taken from Kenosha during
the last year. The watch had been
pawned on the day following the
robbery and it is certain that the
thief at once took train for Chicago
and disposed of the stolen property.
The stolen watch was valued by
Hi1debrande at $50, but it was pawn
ed for the paltry sum of $50. So OF
course the keeper Of the pawn shop
stated that he could not give any
description of the man who had pawn
ed the watch, but the Chicago chief
has notified the Kenosha officials that
. AlC WILL ACCP d N1OSO WdCNA OA llAC
shop and that he expects to find some
trace of the men who have been guilty
of the crimes in this part of the
country.
During the last ten months it is es-
timated that property valued at over
$4,000 has been stolen from Kenosha
city and county and there is little
doubt but that most of it has found
its way into pawn shops in Chicago.
1t is the opinion of the Chicago Of
ficers that the swag is held for weeks
in some Chicago fence before it is
turned over to the pawn shops and in
this way the vigil of the officers is
relaxed before it passes into the
hands of the money 1oaners. The
Chicago police are now cooperating
with the Kenosha officials to the end
of discovering the fence and it is
possible that it may be located in a
short time. Hildebrande will take
immediate steps to secure the return
of his watch.

Judge BeIden Makes Interesting
Decision in Regard to
Saloon Licenses
SALES TO MINORS INvALIOATE
Racine Council is Ordered to Revoke
Licenses by the Court, and Sim
liar Action May be Forced
on Kenosha Council


Judge e. B, Belder oil kacine, has
handed down decislL1 which is OF
great interest to Kenosha people.
The decision was in the case of an
effort to force city council to revoke
the license of a saloon keeper who
had been found guilty of selling
LIQUOR to minors. The matter was
laid before the city council by one of
the reform leagues of Racine, and
although the evidence against the
saloon man was conclusive the coun-
Gil by a majority vote refused to re-
woke the license and found that the
man was not guilty of the charges
brought against him.
The members of the reform league
at once took the matter into the
circuit court and asked that.the judge
issue an order directing the council
to revoke the license. The judgment
of the court was that as the evidence
was con c1usive the council must at
once take action to revoke. 1t is
probable that the license of the
saloon man will be revoked at the
meeting of the Racine council this
evening.
The decision of Judge Be1den has
caused no small amount of apprehen-
sion among the saloon men of Keno
sha. Recently many arrests have
been made here on charges of selling
liquor to minors, and people of the
city under the decision of Judge
Belden may insist that the licenses of
these men be revoked. In both cases
of recent date the bartender was the
offending party and it is doubtful if
the council would revoke license
under such conditions.
In the past ten years only two
saloon licenses have been revoked in
Kenosha, and these we're re evoked only
after the most open defiance of the
laws of the city and state. There are
several organizations in the city who
are keeping a close tab on the saloon
men and if there are any more arrests
for selling liquor to minors, these
organizations will demand that
licenses be revoked and if the council
refuse to act the matter will be carried
to the courts.

WIN A GREAT GAME
Kenosha H. S. Foot Bail Team
Defeats Racine Highs in Game
RepIete with Brilliant Play
FAST WORK WINS VICTORY

There was celebration at the
Kenosha high school this morning
when the members Of the foot ball
team were given an ovationIon account
of their victory over the Racine Highs
on Saturday afternoon when the
Kenosha boys defeated the visitors by
a score of to o. 1t was the greatest
game ever played among the minor
teams in Keuosha. The Racine
team came to Kenosha naughty and
proudDover their victory over the
east side Milwaukee highs and they
went back crushed and Inundated.
The Kenosha team looked like pigmies
compared to the visitors as the ,Ra-
cine men averaged twenty pounds the
heavier. SAX
Kenosha started with the ball and
from the first kick off it was battle
royal. Neither team was able to
score in the first half but at one time
it, looked ais if the Racine team was
certainiof scoring. Monroe, the Ra-,
cine half, had circled the. Kenosha
end and seemed to have free field
for the goal but quarterback C1eary
started down the field and managed
to bring him down just before he had
reached the line. Then the Kenosha
team held for downs and Captain
Grosvenor and his men soon placed
the ball in the center of the field
where'i4 remained until the end of the
half. sa4t
It looked very much like tie game
in the9second half but two minutes
before time was called Maddox, the
Kenosha half, circ1ed the end of the
Racine team and aided with splendid
interference by Captain Grosvenor
and C1eary he carried the ball sixty
yards for touchdown. Cleary failed
to kick goal but the game was won.
For the remainder Of the short time
the ball did not leave. the center of
the field.
The following is the line up and
score of the game:

HAD A STORMY TRIP
Little Gasoline Launch "AIfie"
Gets Out of Fuel and Drifts
With the Waves Sunday
LIFE SAVING CREW TO RESCUE

Six young people of the city who
we're the guests of Skipper Alfred
Harry on board the gasoline launch
"Alie' had trip that they will re-
member for some time on Sunday
when they were forced to remain for
several hours in the launch without
gasoline for power, and allow the
little boat to drift at the mercy of the
high sea which was raging.
After the men had made every pos
sib1e effort to pilot the boat into the
harbor they allowed her to drift and
she was finally beached just north of
the Pennoyer sanitarium. Captain
Cameron and the members Of the Life
Saving crew went out and picked up
the boat and towed her into the har-
Dor.
Skipper Harry and his guests had
left the Kenosha harbor just after 8
o'clock, planning a trip to Racine.
However, they had gone but short
distance out into the lake when they
found a big sea on and they had
started to return to the harbor. It
was about this time that the gasoline
gave out and the boat was left mile
from shore without any power save
the beating waves to move her. Sew
eral of the people on board were
badly frightened as the sea was con-
stantly rising and the waves had al
ready begun to break over the boat.
There was no aid to be found and the
crew was forced to allow the launch
to drift.
Finally the waves carried her to the
beach and The members Of the com
pany were enabled to jump from the
boat to the beach. They escaped with
wet feet. Fortunately the Life Saw
ers saw the plight of the launch and
they were near at hand when she
went on the beach and at once pulled
her off and towed her into the hSrbor.

SEEKING A LOCATION

During the last few days George
Bonnell, industrial agent for the
Northwestern Railway Co., has sent
out to many cities within 100 miles Of
Chicago, this following letter:
''The H. H. Cable company, manu-
facturers of pianos and organs, with

as to what they expect a community
should do to secure their concern 81
Here is another opportunity for
Kenosha to make move which, if
successful in landing such a factory
would contribute much to permanent
upbuilding. Factories have proven
city builders, and the more we have
of this kind the better we would be
off. 1t might be a good plan for a
committee appointed by the business
men to investigate as well as nego-
tate.

The tenders which are now being

MAY FORM A UNION
Contractors Of City Striving to
Form q Company to Purchase
All Building Materials
WOULD CONTROL BUILDING
Meetings Have Been Held but Contract
ors Interested Refuse to Discuss
the Proposed Combination
at This Time

Recalling the days of the old Keno
sha Builders Exchange another effort
is being made to form union of the
contractors in Kenosha for,.the pur-
pose of controlling the sale of building
material IN the city. 1t is known that
the men interested have held several
meetings but thus far they have not
succeeded in arranging the details for
the organization. Prominent con-
tractors Of the city who are known to
have attended the meetings when
seen this morning stated. that they
could say nothing in regard to the
plans of the proposed combine while
others Of the smaller met in the
business insist that they have not
been asked to take part in the or
ganization.
The plan of the contractors is
huge dream of the control of all
building operations in the city. It
includes the purchase and sale of all
brick, stone, lime, cement, lumber,
lath and shingles, and in fact every
thing that is connected with the
building business. 1t is claimed that
this control of all building materials
would make the work OF con-
tracing a more stable business
and that the contractor would
be assured that he would. have
his materials when he needed them.
Nothing is said as to the source of
the vast sum of money that would be
needed to control the supply of build
ing materials in Kenosha. It is
stated on reliable authority that there
| is more. than 100000 invested in
building materials in Kenosha an
nua1ly and in order to handle this
business the combine would be forced
to have capital stock of nearly
double this amount. It is not thought
possible that the contractors could
control so large sum of money.
It is possible that combine such as
has been planned would make it pos
sible to eliminate competition from
the smaller contractors but even with
this eliminated it is impossible that the
COuU1uS WOuLU NC dU1G 10 COLI
troll the labor market and indi-
vidua1s would be able to con-
tinue the work as in the past.
Lumber dealers and brick merchants
smile at the proposed plan and state
that it would be impossible for the
contractors to secure such combine
that would be effective. In the first
place it is declared that it would be
impossible for the combined contract
ors to secure lumber. Nearly all of
the lumber sold IL kenosha today was
bought months if not years ago and
SO great is the demand for lumber
that it is almost impossible for the
yards to supply it. The contractors
are scheduled to hold another meet
ing in the near future but it is not
thought that any organization will be
completed until the opening of new
building season.
The old Kenosha Builders Ex-
change, which was organized on
similar lines, proved to be complete
failure. It had life of less than a
single building season.
