region of my camp. Then one morning he came
my comn1issary tent when High Wolf and | W.
the sole occupants.
Well boss, said &" Old SAM I've sold out

dollars for him. If you won't give me that

Il don't want him. l said "Good-mornins
and turned to my work upon the payroll.
High Wolf, smoking quietly by himself had
listened to this conversation. When it was con-
Guided the Chief quietly rose and followed " Old
Sam outside.
1t was perhaps fifteen minutes afterward that
High Wolf again entered my tent. He came
toward me with diffident smile upon his face.
"Mato Iahan," he said, you want ponce
good ponee-much good ponee?"
l looked up at him What is it" l asked.
VERY good pony"
Heap good pony" replied High Wolf
And | went outside to look at a clay-banll
creature with dropping head and lstless air,
which certainly did not impress me in the least.
But | paid thirty-five dollars for the pony and
! never made better bargain in horse.
The proof came about the middle OF October,
when High Wolf and myself had gone
elk-hunt on Wagon Hound Creek, some thirty
miles from headquarters. We had camped over
night on the creek and were getting ready for
business in the morning, when there came up
one of those fierce fall billiards which now and
then catch out even the most wary in this re-
gion. It's coming was like the coming of a
cyclone, unheralded by threat of more than
few minutes duration. The northwest noun
tans were suddenly obscured by gray blanket,
the sky became of woolly consistency, and
down came a roaring norther Obliteratng the
face of the earth in a veil of driven snow.
High Wolf had a tough calico" pony of
much endurance, and his counsel was for instant
ponies heads into the teeth of the wind We
were just three hours going thirty miles up hill
and down, facing that binding storm, and when
we pulled in at camp my companions pony

less little sorrel-tOp simply drew a long breath
when | turned him into the stable, and plunged
his nose into the hay-manger. And with mt
reason High Wolf boosted of his sagacity
securing for me such mount.

horses. One day there came in at nv office t

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION.
Meeting at Chicago at Which Peace Is
Patched Up.

-----@
Directors of the American Association
met ut Chicago Sunday ana patched up
the internal strife of the organiZat ton
sufficiently to organize for the coming
season. The peace concessions We're
Indicated by the makeup of commit
tee that was appointed to draft a
Schci',lc. The incnlbors Of this body
are Prcsldene J. ID. OBricn, George
Tebedu of Louisville and j. Ed GRILL
Of Toledo the latter two being proml-
ncnt mcmbers Of the opposing factions.
1t WAS decided that the season Will
open or April s. with the Western clubs
In the Eastern cities. President O Brien
was appointed q committee Of one to
make transportation arrangements.
He Will issue q call for a meeting of
the whole league to h held at the
Grand Pacific Hotel on March 26, at
which time the schedule will be adopt
cd
The session was called by George Tc-
beau. who is president Of tho directors
of th" association. and all of the mem
bers were present except Watkins of
Minneapolis and Bryce of Columbus.
The latter is in California. The Wat
klIlS 1dctlon was represented by j. Ed
Grillo and Charles F.. Ruschaupt of
Indianapolis. who is Watkins partner.
This issued an even representation on
both sides.
The affairs of the league were put in
tangled condition Jan. %. when the
annual meeting of the organization was
supposed to be held at the Auditorium
Annex. There was n meeting of the
board Of directors on the day before.
and the factional fighting became so
prominent that the league meeting
never was held.
Members left the city. and it looked
as though there would be trouble in or
GanizinE for the season. When the
time approached for the opening. how
ever. everybody was willing to stop
fighting long enough To adopt !. schcd-
ule and get to work
Many of the differences have been sct
tlcd. but by taCit agreement will be all
lowed to lie over until the close of tho
season. The Kelly ease was not taken
up and probably will not be until the
meeting of March %.

IoWan Devises the Game
Of Universal Football.
Designed to Please All and
Everybody on One Side.
Sporting and Athletic Notes Cul|ed From
All Over Country.

Icwa City, Iowa, March 14.~Physical
Director Chalmers is now considering
the adoption of a game devised by T.
w. Graham Of Dubuque. called "uni-
versal football" which is supposed to
embody all Of the good that the pres
ent game contains, with none of the
evil features. If present plans do not
fail it will be introduced here this
spring and given thorough test. The
author is confident that he has a game
which will solve all of the evils Of the
old Rugby game.
"Cniversal football permits the
playing of all the men on one side de-
sired up to Sc. A field is employed the
size ofthe Rugby field. 1t is divided in
to three equal parts, the middle part
defended by one team and the two out
er Parts occupied by equal sections of
the second team. The object Of the
game is to advance the ball either by
kicking. throwing or carrying across
the middle part without member OF
the team occupying that section touch
ing the man carrying the ball. AS sOon
however, as the man carrying the ball
is touched by one of the defending
team, called the "ins," the play immc-
diatcly stops and a certain number OF
points are challled up for the defend
ing side.
There are 16 ways in which the two
teams may score from one TO 81 points
This elaborate system OF scoring ncces-
states one referee and two umpircs. In
addition to that the players are en-
couraged to acknowledge any fouls ON
thev part by the inhiction OF a smaller
penalty. An elaborate system of rules
and terms has been worked out by
| Graham, who has had the game under
consideration for 4 long time.
Among the more unusual ones are
| bolt" q discipline mark imposed on
the various players styled as "snails, "
| "yrouChcs," ''rowdies," etc. When Il
player has two of these ''bolts' mark
ed up against him the game is stopped
to give him time to apologize to Tie
| player and the crowd.
Another feature will ne the exhibition
| drills which will be given by the vari-
| Gus teams Immediately after 'paradC'
and before the ball is put in play. At
| that time, by previous agreement be-
| tween the two captains. the two teams
go through various cvolutionS which
they have previously learned. The in
| PRODUCTION of the game into the State
University of Iowa will be watched
with considerable interest
