ANOTHER WESTERN SCANDAL.
Has University of Chicago Enticed
 Star Illinois Athlete From Fold?

A special from out Urbana, III
 says that breathless sensation has re.
 suited from the publication in the
 Daily Illini, the University of Illinois
 students paper, of story limiting that one of Coach Gill's most promis- ing freshmen track athletes had been enticed away by the University of Chicago. The athlete in question is
 Watson, who entered the university this fall and came out for the track team. Now Watson has finished and he made his exit suddenly and with out notice to any of his intimates. The Illini says:
 Where he has gone no one knows for sure. but that Stagg tried every means of enticing him to chicago is a matter of common knowledge. The Illini intends to make a personal in yestigation of this matter and If any reprehensible methods have been used they will be uncovered and pro- mulgated. The fact that Watson s father was desirous that his son should attend Illinois makes it clear that parental objection has nothing to do with his leaving"
 The Illini's declaration that an in yestigation would be made created much interest Schommer, the ma room track and basketball athlete, entered Illinois last fall, but after few weeks entered the University of Chicago. The fact brings the insln- nations of the college paper all the more prominently to the fore.
 Officials and students of the Uni versity of Chicago are up in arms at the charges from Illinois. It is ad- mitted Watson is in attendance at Chicago, and that he came there di- rectly from Illinois. The idea of an enticement is considered an insult.
 We are not in the business of"en- ticing athletes away from colleges where they already have been en- declared Dr J. E. Raycroft. T have not seen Watson, but be- lieve he is in school here now. The fact that he should attend Illinois for week or so and quit and then enter Chicago should not in itself arouse much suspicion.
 Every year many students come to Chicago, but for some reason or other leave and go to Illinois after It is nonsense to accuse us of trickery in .-.s instance. at least, and We cannot accept it as other than an insult to our sports We thought that all this had passed with the old order of things" ~.

ToMAHAwK THxowING.


 | The practice of tomahawk throw Ing Is splendid outdoor exercise, and one that trains the eyes and muscles even better than archery. Furthermore, the skill thus acquired may prove Of signal service to any of the boys whose business or pleasure Tn after-life takes them into wild and unexplored wildernesses, for a we'll thrown camp-axe will split the skull or as large a monster as the grizzly bear.
 when we youngsters first took up the tomahawk as plaything, of course We were very awkward in its use. There was no one to show us. and no one to tell us how to do any .ning we wanted to do, so we had to learn from experiments. It took a long time to find out how to hold the Implement. Each lad, without ex- ception began by grasping the handle or the hatchet any old way, swung 1t III curve and let it go while the blade was in diagonal or slanting position. This would send it wobbling through the air with poor results as to workmanship, and no power to stick into the mark, or even when the blade by chance hit the mark it struck across the grain and the axe fell to the ground. But at last we learned to stand firmly before the mark with our feet spread apart, the weight of the body resting upon the right leg. we aiso learned to take aim. not by sighting along the hatchet, but by f1xing our eyes on the mark, and so holding our weapon that its edge formed part of the vertical line. When the tomahawk is brought back from position over the shoulder with out tdrning the edge to one side or the other, and thrown from this posi- ton the blade cleaves its way straight through the air, and the air itself tends to keep it true to it's course. .-Woman's Home Companion for November.
