tribute to his memory, which indicates
their inner circle:
Boss" Weeks Is dead. The little
quarter who worked his way into prom
inence under Yost will be tradition
for many years at Michigan. He set
a pace which all the quarters to come
vii! scarcely ever keep.
Hal Weeks In football terms was
little man and not of the round, rugged
body of Norcross, who followed him.
He must have weighed at his best
about las stripped. He was typical
living protest against the brutality
criers who are "knihng" the old game.
He was protest against the belief that
the game is only for big, hurley
brutes."
In many respects he must be re-
garded as the greatest quarter that
ever wore a spiked shoe. In other par
ticulars he did not quite live up TO the
ideal of a clustering. forcible leader.
That he had a quiet, insistent force
that came up when needed was shown
In more than one Michigan game, and
he closed his career with as hard a
fight as he ever was called on TO make
In the game against Minnesota.
II must be remembered that he was
dominated over by Yost TO such an ex-
tent that the real qualities OF leader
were not fully exhibited. His mind was
taken up with burden Of signals and
system of plays such as no quarter be-
fore was ever called upon to utilize.
/ That he could stand the drlll Yost gave
the team. could handle the men from
quarter and yet finish out his playing
season with roundness rarely exhib-
| tied by great players was one of the
marvels OF the old game.
II was some of these qualities which
| lrdorse his claim TO be considered one
of the greatest OF football quarters.
Feeding the ball quickly and aocu-
rately hurrying the plays, driving his
| team into quick lineup, a bunch OF
| heavy men often prone to loaf. were
| some of his characteristics. Gentle
manly at all times on the field, quiet
| during inaction. nervy In his tackles.
| he was entitled to all the popularity
| which was his. II will be remem bered
| that his teams were winning teams,
| The Yost system struck and amazed
| the Western football world, Just as It
| would have done In the east II given
chance While the other teams were
slowly awakening to the needs Of win
ners and rising from the pbdding class
to the speed Of thorOughbreds. Weeks
| team was setting fierce pace. The re-
action ended In the defeat OF Michigan
| by the Maroons on Marshall field by a
score Of 2 10 0 last fall.

WHAT MAKES THE
CHARM OF BOWLING
As in Every Other Sport the e.
ement Of Chance is
There.
IN HOPE OF PERFECT SCORE.
To Make 500 Is the Alluring Prospect
Before Every Tcnpin Artist
Not Easily Done.

What is Il that makes the charm OF
bowling? The question was submit
ted by the News" Friday to the Off
Gals Of the Western Bowling congress
and to large number of bowling ex-
perts and fans.
From the array OF answers II would
appear that the game is first cousin
to trap shooting, and a full brother to
playing cards The possibilities OF
winning are unlimited, and always
ahead of every tenpin artist is the
chanoe--the llluring prospect that
some day he will make string Of
those strikes, which now he draws
down only every third or fourth game,
and run a perfect score OF 800 points.
The perfect score almost never
comes but the hope hangs high that
one day It will, and the charm Of the
hope consequently hoyers over the
game.
SKILL Is REQUIRED.
Then there is expectancy long drawn
out, for every time a man rolls u ball
he can stand and watch It take It's
wilder til II hits the king pin and up
sets all his men In a Wild bunch. or
drive through flank with only pin
or two bowied over.
In trap shooting, and gun work In
general, the expectant moment Is pro-
longed scarcely at all. The triggers
are pulled, and a glance OF the eye
tells whether one has won or lost. At
cards the excitement that comes with
raising the bet chip by chip, while
each man tries to figure out his stand
ing with that OF his opponents hand is
nearly that which comes as one
watches the big ball roll down upon
its quarry.
Is the game athletic? Athletics
never go with money making. They
are organized play-days, and the ath-
letic spirit Is doing something because
life runs high within the body. and
seeks an outlet in exercise. The bowl
ing spirit Is not this on the highest
blackboard in the tournament the big
gest purse Is announced IN the big
gest chalk written there by the biggest
official, as the biggest inducement to
roll wen. The mere love Of winning
which contents itself with a badge of
merit, and seeks the laurel crown, Is
not produced strongly by the tenpins.
THE ELEMENT OF CHANCE
Bowling rather is game Of chance.
He who rolls finds the pins drop for
him one day, and the next he il Off his
game He never knows how well he
will fare, and the mar with years of
practise viii sometimes nod while he
rolls his scores that look just ike
those Of the crudest amateur The
percentage Of chance however. Is not
great. for the skilled man pulls away
ahead In his general averages. Three
seasons of work usually bring "A good
bowler up TO the 200 mark or near

NOTES ON COTTON GROWING

About 10000 bales Of cotton is this
years crop of the Laguna section of
Mexico. The Mexican mills will also
require an additional $4,000 bales
from the United States during 1906.
The British charge in Guatemala

improvement o. the quality of cotton
raised in Turkey. The seed will be
distributed in the provinces OF Adana,

Levant Herald.
The exports Of raw cotton from
southern Nigeria in 1905 declined to
96,306 pounds. having been 2S5 5,639

BATTLE WITH WOLF FISH,
Launch Owner Has Hard Fight Cap.
turing One of Monstrous
Size

Seattle, Wash.-A wolf fish. one Of
the rarest specie of sea monster found
on the sound, was captured by Capt
Tom Miller, of the launch San Juan.
while Miller was fishing in Hoods
canal. few days ago.
Miller fought the animal for fully
an hour before he could bring the
beast to his boats side. Several of the
beasts teeth are missing as a result
Of its swapping an oar. When hauling
the animal into his boat Miller allowed
it to grasp one of his oars. The teeth
of the animal sank in the hard wood
until they were buried.
Capt Miller hooked the animal with
an ordinary line and it was only with
the greatest difficulty he succeeded in
securing the monster. This is the
largest wolf fish ever captured here.
But few are ever secured. One was
placed on exhibition at the Lewis and
Clark fair last summer, which was
among the first secured here.
The beast appears more like a sea
serpent than anything else although
it's head in way resembles that Of a
wolf. When stretched at full length
the beast measures six feet two inches,
and weighs 25 pounds.

The British Zeitung am Mittag says
that a Russian some time ago gave a
ring worth $3.50 to a newspaper seller
in the Friedrichstrasse for three copies
Of the Zeitung am Mittag. The period
fixed By law during which the Russian

ring recently expired. and the police
have informed the newspaper seller
that the ring is his lawful property.
1t is estimated that from 100000 to
500, goo natives have died in Africa OF

The disease Is, moreover, spreading
with alarming rapidity. yet nothing is
done to check 1t. The weight of opin-
ion is that no person once infected ever
recovers. Despite its name, sleep is
not an important symptom, as 1t oc-

South Africa Is a Country Where
Hugh Beasts Are Numerous

"On the Broken Hill road" says the
Bulawayo Chronicle of an incident in
that part of South Africa, ION re-
cent night lion entered hat where
in were sleeping two white men.
Pushing open the reed door, the ami
NAL made for the nearer of the two
sleepers, and, gripping him by the
shoulder with its teeth, lifted him
from his bed. The cries of the man
brought several natives to the scene,
and these pluckily attacked the beast,
bringing it to bay. shotgun hap
pened, fortunately, to be near by, and
this the captive succeeded in reaching,
instantly shooting the lion. The mar,
whose name is Thornton, was very
badly mauled, but he is making fa-
vorable progress.
In Rhodesia, too, the lions are trou-
blesome An Englishman named Mar
riott was playing tennis with a man
named Flynn when news was brought
in that lion was attacking the
mules. Both rushed for their guns
and went in pursuit Of the beasts,
which they sighted within short dis
tance of their home. Marriott fired
and wounded lion twice, but without
fatal effect. The enraged beast
charged him, and bit him severely on
the thighs. Its teeth also penetrated
his hands and left shoulder. Flynn

was able to go home, but was ordered
to hospital, where he expired "a hours
later.
AT least eight lions have appeared
in the districts of Moore's concession

Africa. "A farmer named Clayton, on
