tackle or to dodge. Doane goes into
the tackle like a catapult and is an
adept dodger as those who saw his
work in getting Eckersall in the Chi
cago game can testify. Minnesota g
backfield was light, but suffering under
ferred to in superlatives of weight,
when in fact, it was no heavier than
many Of the other backfelds Of the
west. It was very speedy and possessed
more Of power than any other organic
alton Of class in it's territory.
Garrels Of Michigan is given the
preference at halfback over Current of
Minnesota. This is due to his superior
offensive power over the gopher. Cur
rent is the vests best on defense, but
must bow to Garrel g superiority in Of
fensive work and his kicking ability.
There were no other fullbacks worth
mentioning in the west this season.
Speed and Power.
This team, if assembled, would prove
the most formidable ever fathered in
the west. It has the speed and the
power. It would run over any other
organization, and the writer, even tho
the west received setback thru de-
feats in the intersectional games, be-.
lieves that with proper coaching this
in American football today. For power
and speed 1t Is team that grows on
one.
It is picked to meet all Of the pos
sibilities Of the new rules. Marshall
and Parry will attend to all Of the
fancy sidestepping end work. They
will attend to the opponents forward
passes and will "arrive'' down the
field under punts with any ends in
America-and may the gods of football
protect the back who starts running
back the ball when they get him. Fair.
but hard enough to rock the goalposts..

TO Play "New and old.''
At left end 7 have placed Ed Parry
of Chicago. Next to Eckersall Parry
was the star Of Stages team. He is
a big chap, weighing 210 pounds, and
IS speedy. He demonstrated his power
and speed repeatedly in the Chicago
Minnesota game and is in the play
some that he plays a rough game, but
this talk, like that about Marshall,
rises from the fact that Parry goes
into the play with absolute fearless
he takes hold Of a man, that man
knows he has been manhandled. Parry
has been played by Stage in various
positions: He is too good a man to
leave off, and to my mind is far su.
perior to Walker as an end when asso-
ciated with team suoh as I have SO
iected. Walker is clever end, capa-

Guided his sixth year of participation
at the Nebraska institution. The big
nine limits players to three years, SO
that johnson should be very good if
Nebraska elects to play him another
year.
At the tackles the positions have
been given to the Minnesota "M.O
men timer and Case. Each chap has
earned the position thru play. Curtiss
is the onl y real rival of either for DO
sition, and as he was unable to partici-
pate in the game with Pennsylvania his
true form Of the year was not dis
closed. This was Michigan's only
only strengthening game of the year.

Marshall Alone.
AT right end there is nothing but
that all appropriated critics expect
him to gain the A1l-American position
and will regard it as more Of snub
than anything else if the eastern crit
les fail to recognize him. He was the
greatest end the west has ever devel-
oped. Little more need be said about
his prowess and all-around play.
The same situation is found at the
quarterback position. It is Eckersall
and the same scarcity of COMMENT
upon his work is the highest compli-
ment that can be paid to him. Like
Marshall he has earned an All-Ameri-

Minnesota's leading ground gamer.
Doane on the other side has not been
given the recognition that he deserved.
His work has been good both as half

He is very fast and has but one rival

into dropsy. His attending ply

his life, but to no avail, for his
case was hopeless one. * !.

SAD ACCIDENTAL KILLING
OF SAMUEL WHITENER.
Top Of His Head Blown Off While Out
Hunting With Crowd Of Boys.

hdSC SdCuTudy dlLSTuOOu dDOuC
4 o'clock one of the saddest acci-
dents happened that has yet
been given to the readers of The
Union Times. Samuel Whitener,
Johnnie Stepp, Will Berry and
Mitchell Mabry, four white boys
of the Union Cotton Mill village
went hunting. Beyond a
grove of pines adjoining the
lands of Capt. Foster and the
mill company these boys were
standing watching a large drove
of crows flying toward them.
Johnnie Stepp cooked his gun
and prepared to shoot the crows
when they came near enough,
but the crows changed their
course of flight, and Johnnie
Stepp laid his gun on the ground,
cooked as he had held it waiting
for the crows, and asked Samuel
Whitener to let him look at his
(Whitener's) rifle; after looking
at the rifle a few minutes, hand
ed it back to Samuel and picked
up his own gun from the ground,
threw it on his shoulder, and as
he did so his gun was discharged.
The whole load entered the head
of Samuel Whitener just below
the ear, and came through the
opposite side, killing him almost
instantly. The boys present all
agree in their statement about
the way the accident occurred.
DR.. Montgomery was summoned,
but of course could do nothing.
Coroner Gregory was notified,
and held an inquest and the facts
adduced were substantially those
related above. The ages of these
four boys ranged from IL to Is
years. Sam Whitener was about
Is and Johnnie Stepp about II
years of age. The funeral ser

their guns. This is the seGon9 a9
accident of a similar kind whicI
has happened within the p pas

COTTON VS.. WORLDS GOLD
AND SILVER OUTPUT.
Cotton Production and Gold and Silver
Production. Cut the Cotton Crop by
One Hall, and the Financial and Com
merCial World Would Stagger.
The total value of the worlds
gold and silver production for
the last five years was $2,578,-
852, 1000. The total value of the
cotton crop for the same period
was So, ,974, 600, 900, an excess of
cotton value over gold and silver
production of 1896, 148, 900.
What it means for the South
to hold a practical monopoly of
the worlds cotton production is
not generally appreciated nor the
potentiality of this fully grasped.
Destroy corn, and you could find
substitute; destroy wheat, and
other grains would furnish bread
for mankind; but cut short the
South's cotton crop by one-half,
and the financial and commercial
world would stagger; destroy
cotton, and civilization would be
halted. Earth has no substitute
for cotton. Cotton, the South's
crown of glory, is the basis of the
