SPORTING GOSSIP
CAMP COMPLETES
FOOTBALL EDITING
CITY FATHERS PASS ORDINANCE
REGULATING SALE OF FOOT
BALL TICKETS.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Sept IL
Walter Camp, Yale head advisory
football coach, who has been editing
the football rules for this fall, says
his task is finished. From the chang
es in the code it is certain that the
conservatives have carried the day,
and that there will be revolutionary
changes from the rules which were
put into effect last fall. The most
important alteration is the clause
which provides for a penalty of fif-
teen yards for a dropped forward
pass if the error is made on the first
or second down. Last year the ball
went to the other side. Two umpires
are made obligatory to free the game
from the last vestige of roughness.
1t is made clear that any lineman
may carry the ball, provided he does
not leave his place in the line till the
ball is put in play. In the case of a
kick out after the safety the oppo-
nents must line up on the thirty-five
instead of the twenty-five yard line.
Three of Yale's football officials
are busily engaged on the plans for
the season, Mr. Camp, e. j. Thomp-
son, whose position is in the nature
of graduate manager, and Trainer
Mack, who is constructing new Gin
der path at the Yale field for the
track men, and who is getting the
grdiron in shape for the advent of
the candidates this month. Mr..
Thompson is interested in new city
ordinance, which makes it severe
offense to speculate in football tick
cts in the city of New Haven. This
will clear out the last of the specu-
lators this fall, it is believed.
Head Coach Knox thinks that the
coaches will have something of task
to get enough first-class backs, as all
of the Yale backfield was graduated
last year. Indications now are that
when the first of the Yale football
candidates report here September II
the varsity will line up for signal
practice as follows:
Ends, Logan and Alcott; tackles,
Capt. Bigelow and Paige; guards,
Goebel and Audrus; center, Cooney;
quarterback, Tad Jones; halfback
Wheaton and Murphy; fullback, Coy
and Brides. The scheme of playing
Brides behind the line is discussed
because of the scarcity of backfield
material and the fact that he played
guard in the big games last year,
weighing only La pounds.

MICHIGAN PLAYERS
GET READY FOR PENN.
BIG CROWN EXPECTED TO AT
TEND FOOTBALL GAME ON
NOVEMBER 10.

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 1.-THE
athletic association of the University
of Michigan is making elaborate pre-
parations for the football game with
/ ennsylyania, which is to be played
at Ann Arbor on November 6. Grad
uate Manager Baird, who has charge
of the work, said recently: Il think
the Penn-Michigan game will, in
point of interest and attendance,
eclipse any football game ever played
out this way. The only other big
struggle in the west next fall is that
between Chicago and Minnesota, at
Minneapolis, and it will not hold a
candle to the Quaker-Wolyerine bat
tie in our town. If we do not draw
close to $4,000 spectators at that
Pennsylvania game it will be because
something has gone wrong. Let Mich
igan put up a good fight all through
the season up to November 16 and
the crowd will be there. Detroit
alone will contribute about 5000
rooters, judging from the sentiment
l hear expressed where life is worth
the living.
I'VE have been making arrange
ments to take care of whopping
crowd. We have seats now for 49,
600 persons. We can put from 5000
to 10000 on the ends of the field
and | think We'll have them to put
there on November 16, too. Speak
ing of the field, Michigan has today
the finest athletic grounds in the
United States. Harvard, with her
stadium, is pretty well fixed, but Sol
diers' Field is not circumstance to
Ferry Field as whole With the
completion of the operations we are
making this summer the total eXpen-
diture for permanent improvement of
the field will amount to $50, 900.
On it we have a gridiron for practice,
another where the old field was, and
the splendid new one, drained, lev
eled, sodded, surrounded by a con-
crete wall, flanked by our great new
stands, a beauty of baseball dia-
mond with brand new covered
grand stand, two running tracks, one
of them without a peer in the coun-
try; twelve new tennis courts and
plenty of leveled, sodded ground for
other urposes-thirty-e acres in
all, enclosed on three sides with q
handsome brick and white berea
stone wall. The Michigan playground
is in all respects a model one, and a
delight to the eye of any man inter
ested in athletics"

HORSE MONUMENT
WILL COST $4,000
Henry Graves of Chicago Has Pro.
yided That Amount in His Will
for Once Famous Ike Cook.

CHICAGO, Sept. liza $50, 900
monument for his horse is feature
that has been incorporated in the will
of Henry Graves, the oldest settler
of Chicago, who now lies near death
door at his home. He came to the
little sediment about Fort Dear
born in 1881. A pioneer racing man
and ever lover of horses, Mr.. Graves
has proved that the costliest monu-
ment ever erected for horse will
memorialize Ike Cook, famous trot-
ter which he owned fit. years ago.
Ike Cook had a record of 2:30,
which, in those early days, was re-
markable time. In fact, Ike Cook was
the first horse to make that mark on
a one-mile track in the state of ILL
nois. The animal was famous
throughout the country and with Mr..
Graves driving him won many great
victories.

His brow was hid beneath his cap,
His goggles fastened with a snap,
He looked like Hades on hike
AS he came yelling down the pike:

He saw the flash of lamps alight
Strung into one continuous sight;
He heard at times the warning call:
His answer was to one and all:
Faster.

man said,
And ware the dangerous water

Likewise the places where you'll

And loud that H. P. voice replied:

Thy weary head upon this breast!'
A tear stood in his goggled eye,
But still he answered with sigh:
Faster.
Beware the yet unmended hole,

This was the farmers last goodnight
A voice replied clear out OF sight:

Half-buried meath the wreck, was

And torn to stringlets, thin and fine.

of the building was wrecked. The
explosion aroused the citizens of the
town, but they were kept at a dis
lance by several of the robbers, who,
gun in hand, stood guard in front
and rear while their companions were
robbing the bank.
Many shots were fired by the ban
dts to hold the citizens at bay. The
only citizen hit was Frank Fitzpat-
rick, hotel guest. He was severely,
but not fatally, wounded.
The robbers, having completed
operations inside the bank and still
holding the crowd off, broke into the
Chicago & Northwestern railway sta
ton house and secured a handcar, on
which they made their escape. They
left the handcar midway between
Frankfort and Redfield. A large
posse has started in pursuit.

Rotary Tunnel Machine and Deve-

ut the Benson house for few days,
where they are exhibiting a work

bores a tunnel eight feet in diane

hundred feet day in granite
working tests with large machine
showed GO feet 4 inches in "a hours.
For three hours a speed of eight

Those interested are invited to call
and see it operate The editor of
the Standard has seen it and believes
it will do all that is claimed for it.
The company refuses to sell any
machines, preferring to take con-
tracts for tunnels and shafts. The
company also builds eighteen foot
machines for driving railroad tun-
nels. This is the only machine ever
invented that will hold its course
and handle uneven formations OF
different degrees of hardness
The machine is run by electricity
and is automatic is all its operations;
takes care of its own muck and re-
quires but one man to handle it. 1t is
claimed it will handle an eight foot
tunnel at a labor cost of from 70
cents to slO0 per foot. This means
a revolution in mining methods and
will add untold wealth to Colora do.
