Coming of the Coach.

Foot BAH is surely a purely amateur
sport. Year by year the college game has
been made more and more so. Sixteen
years ago Michigan had the first foot ball
coach in the west, and the next year the
graduate students from Yale, including
Heffelhnger and others. coached the Min
nesota team and that year Stage went to
Chicago. The coaches cid not play with
the Michigan team but Stagg, a paid coach,
played with the University of Chicago be-
cause he did not have a man with exper-
ience enough to captain his team. Frank
Crawford and c. l.. Thomas were the
pioneer coaches in the more western COL
leges, and these men from the University
or Michigan played while coaching the
various teams of the west. Times have
changed and Thomas was the last coach
TO play with Nebraska, for, after that the
game was far enough advanced that there
were men skilled enough in the game ia
be field captains. At present there is a
movement against coaches altogether, al
though none of the universities seem in
clined to give them up. Some made blum
about hiring the men as athletic instructors
for the year around, but none did without
coaches.
Several years ago the athletics Of the col
leges were in the hands OF the students
and student managers handled all the
moneys received at the gates for the ath-
letic events and disbursed all the money.
1t is different now. All the larger colleges
have a graduate manager for athletics
and an advisory faculty board. and these
look after the money and that end is
tken from the students so to eliminate the
mercenary feature which tends to profess
sionalism. Without faculty supervision the
students We're apt to spend the money

stances without number. This was not
thought to be for the good of the game
as a purely amateur sport or as good
training for the students themselves. II
made a man think he was apt to lose his
place on the team by being crowded out
by some hired bully who was induced TO
come for a money consideration TO
strengthen the team. This wave OF reform
has had a marked effect upon the game,
and strenuous rules have been adopted by
the colleges which make 1t almost impos-
sible for a man to be run in who is not
bona-fide students. This has been a
great advantage TO the game, for IT In

TROOPS HURRIED TO SCENE.
Miners Threaten to Clear Out Guards
Before the Troops Arrive.

Steubenville, Ohio, June 6.-While
the situation in Jefferson county,

troubles at Dillonvale, Plum Run and

miners and armed guards early yes

acute to-day when the troops that
were ordered from Columbus arrive.
In Turbulent Mood.
At Dillonvale last night the strik-
ers were in a most turbulent mood.
1t is reported that they and their
sympathizers during the day made
large purchases of rifles, revolvers
and ammunition.
While various estimates have been
made of the casualties, 1t is impossi-
BILE to verify any reports of deaths,
although it is known that ten or more
were hurt. The coal company denies
that any guards were killed, but re-

The clash was the direct outgrowth
of the alleged abuse by the United
States Coal company's guards of an
Italian union miner from Pittsburg on
Sunday afternoon. Early yesterday
morning lightweight Of the company's
guards started to march across the
hills from Plum Run to the Bradley
mine, and at Crow Hollow were am
bushed by force of 200 to 800 strik-
ers. In the battle that ensued several
hundred shots were fired, but the
strikers aim was bad, which accounts
for the few casualties. The guards
were forced after twenty minutes OF
fighting to retire in disorder to Plum
Run.
