Football

Here Is the manner in which q
Minneapolis sporting writer sizes up
the situation regarding the approach
ing Chicago Minneapolis game:
"Stagg is undoubtedly depending
upon his fast men and upon the kick
ing ability OF Eckersall to win the
game. These fast men will be sent
around the Minnesota ends. and it
was at these very ends that Nebraska
gained her ground Saturday, and thus
came dangerously near crossing the
Minnesota line. Had Eckersall been
with Nebraska Saturday the Corn
huskers would certainly have had
more than one score, for with Ecker
sail carrying the ball. it is improbable
that the Minnesota tacklers would
have been unable to catch him in his
dashes down the field. Several cham
ces for drop kicks were offered, and
had Nebraska been able to avail it.
self of these opportunities Mime
sofas thirteen points would not have
appeared SO large at the end of the
game. Cook was away once. and was
overhauled by Schuchneck, on Mime
scta's 7-yard line. Eckersall would
never have been caught at all, for
ne can Outrun any man on either the
Minnesota or Nebraska elevens.
Those things are simply stated
to show why Minnesota should not
get any idea that her heavy line is to
win her the game at Chicago. for
Stage must have seen the faculty of
any attack in that section. He did
see, however, just how fast plays
might bewilder the Gophers, and no
doubt his team will be coached up to
the speed limit during the next few
days.
"One thing is true in favor of Min
nesota and this is to be found in the
fact that her defense is far wiser than
it was before the game last Saturday.
She was fooled few times by those
fast trick players, but she will not be
fooled again. and Chicago's plays must
be far better than those showed by Ne
braska is the Maroons expect to make
much ground. Those tricks were the
best practice that Minnesota could
have asked and it did not take her
men a great while to solve them and
thus offer an effective Defense"

Prize Ring

San Francisco, Nov. SACK O'Brien
sat at the Berger-kaufman ringside
and thought and thought and thought.
That the Philadelphian's matter
was in an unusual state Of undulation
was suggested by his dashboard fore
head. Jacks alabaster brow was cor
rugated to such an extent that you
could have used it for a nutmeg gra-
ter.
Lose on Berger, Jack?" asked Il
sport when the fight was over, and
O'Briens face retained an express
sion of melancholy.
Nav, am thinking of what goat
was to break off match with Ber-
ger because he wanted straight rules
and free-arm position. Why, the fell
low couldn't do any harm at close
quarters"
Jack was impelled to this view of
the situation by the manner in which
Kaufman pulled off his breast-to
breast work. This was Kaufmann's
one particular specially. When both
men were tired. and Berger was In a
spirit of self-preservation, tried to
grapple, AL used his blacksmith's arms
to good purpose. He tore down Ber-
gers hold and guard and used fiat
iron uppercut, grazing Berger's chest
and sending his right fist with Jar
ring chug to point beneath Berger's
chin.
1t was tantalizing punch, and the
only time Berger baffled it was when
he leaned his chin across Kaufmann's
shoulder in clinches.
1T was no use," said Sam the next
day. THE strength that fellow has in
his forearms is something fierce. He
pulled my arms aside or thrust them
away just as he pleased, and he nailed
me with that uppercut until my tongue
was like hamburger steak"
After the contest, O'Brien visited
both fighters in their dressing rooms.
1t was case of coincidence for Berger
and congratulations for Kaufman.
AL, you put up clever fight" said
Jack.
Yes" put in Billy Delaney, "he
whipped Berger the way planned for
him to beat you. He took punching
and then wore his man down. The on
ly thing in your case was that you
were getting stronger when I figured
you ought to be weakening"
DO you think the knowledge you
have gained would be of any use in
future affairs?" said O'Brien, who
thought he felt nibble.
Possibly" said Delaney, "but in the
meantime Al is going to cut out boxing
and go back to school for a year."
That was the nearest O'Brien and
Kaufman got to talking fight.

NEW YORK. Oct. 24.-The solitary

from Lower Matacombi key, or the
coast of Florida, during the terrific

port by the steamer Ell Paso. lie -
John Russell of Salem, Taylor county,
Fla, and he declared that he saw
eight of the thirty-two others ro"he
and believes that all of them went
down when the barge foundered'
Russell was adrift in a stormy sea
for nearly two days and a night ciihs-
ing to bits of the barge which he gain
cred together to form into a makeshiit
for O raft.
The Ell Paso was bound from Gal
weston TO this city. When off Alligator
lighthouse, on the Florida coast, the
lookout sighted Russell still hanging to
the raft, almost too exhausted to call
for help. He was quickly taken on
board and received the best of care.
Russell said that he was engaged in
railroad building at Lower Matacombi
KEY and was attached to the dredge
Oyama when the gale swept down
upon them. Thirty-three of the mel
who. were employed with him tool ret-
uge on board the Halfy, but the fraii
craft quickly broke away from her
mornings and in the height of the gale
was smashed to pieces.
Eight of the men were rendered I'M
conscious from injuries suffered in the
smashing of the barge oil were beaten
insensible by the driftwood among
which they We're thrown after the
barge went down.
Russell, however, managed to dodge
the timbers and gathered together
some heavy doors, which he made to
serve him as a raft. He saw h e>other
members of the party who had sur
vived the sinking Of the barge clinging
to q small skiff. He believes that they
were lost.
