PATTERSON IS SORRY.
Editor Says He Urged w. J. Bryan to
 Quit Dog In Manager" Attitude.

Boone, Ia., Nov. 16.-Editor Henry Watterson, asked for his opinion of William J. Bryan's tentative accept ance of the Democratic presidential nomination, declared that he had la bored with MT. Bryan to have him de- cline the nomination and to quit his ''dog in the manager" attitude. Colone! Watterson declared that Bryan had i; in his power to demand the leadership of the Democratic party in 1908 or de feat any other candidate by knifn: him as he did Parker"
 Bryan's acceptance was no more tha' he had expected, however greatly h. regretted the action, because hc thought Bryan could no longer create enthusiasm, as he had gone before the people too many times.
 Asked about the assertion often made that the next president would be Roosevelt or Bryan, Colonel Watterson said that the nomination of Roosevelf was all Bryan supporters wanted, be cause they could then go to the people on the third term slogan. Bryan could carry New England in such a cam paign, he thought. Roosevelt by such an act would Mexicanize this govern ment, holding himself as greater than Washington.
 As for himself, much as he disliked to do so, Colonel Watterson would vote for Bryan against Roosevelt in such a dilemma. He believed, however. that Roosevelt would decline another nomi. nation, as he had nothing to gain and the Republican party had many men of presidential callber. He mentioned es. pecially Taft. Hughes and Crane of Massachusetts. He said Senator Crane would make a strong man on the argu. ment that New England had not had a president for long time.

Water Transportation Cheap.


 Any class of water transportation is incomparably cheaper than land trans portation, unless something better than the modern railroad is invented. For this reason the greater part of our do- nestle or inland tonnage has been and is carried by water and not by rail. For that reason the railways own the largest steamers on the lakes. The wheat trade was lost to the Mississippi. not by competition. but because the railroads did not bring it there. The Mississippi above Cairo is decadent, not for lack of ability to compete. but for lack of commerce. which is to say accessibility by means of its own tribu- taries.-Charles D. Stewart in Century.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. l6.- Seekers after tickets for the contest on Yale field this afternoon when the gridiron warriors of Yale and Prince ton meet in what promises to be the greatest game of the year, besieged the ticket office of the Athletic associ- ation long before the Battel bell call ed the under graduates to college chapel this morning. Scores, even hundreds of persons seemed doomed to disappointment as there were no tickets in sight, and many graduate spent half the night on still hunt for friends who might have an extra card of admission.

The air was frosty but it was ideal football weather. The over night crowd was quickly on the street for morning stroll and store windows blossomed out in masses of color, and the loyal men of both universities were soon sporting huge yellow chrysanthe- nuns or punches of violets. It was a lively night for college men, and the early trains soon contributed thelr passengers to the street crowds.
 This morning the Yale team, which was uuartered over night at the col lege infirmary in Prospect street, arose early and went to the Country club after breakfast. Every man is fit and according to Trainer Mack the eleven will start the game in perfect condition. Princeton is also reported in fine shape. The Princeton boys came down from Norfolk shortly be- fore noon, had luncheon on the train and went directly to the Yale track house at the athletic field. The men were given a warm reception by the big following of Princeton men in this city.

Lawn Tennis Championship.

NEW YORK, October 6.-National lawn
tennis championships may be limited pres
emily to players who must qualify by win
ming an open tournament or a state cham
pionship. This Is to be done with the idea
of wedding out many from the field in the
championships who have no real reason to
be in. 1t might make the field very limited
indeed, because some winners of western
and middle western tournaments hardly
would come to the national tournament,
and the result might be that at best twenty
men would compete.

Better Foot Ball Ahead.

The very reason that some of these men
Will be on every eleven OF importance in
the United States seems to make 1t safe to
assert that foot ball will be better in con-
sequence. Add to the experience OF the
coaches that OF the players, and If good
foot ball does not result with that combina-
ton in the ield then IT seems out of the
question 10 expect any good foot ball from
the elevens which are thus constituted
il is great advantage to have a good
coach. There has been a great deal writ
ten in the past about too much coaching
The professional coach has been denounced
by those who are self-appointed purists in
athletics. 1t is difficult to comprehend
wherein the professional coach is such an
awfu! drawback when he teaches how to
play properly, and If a team cannot play
properly II is time wasted in PLAYING in
correctly. even II merely for amusement
without any hope OF final superiority
Some OF the hypercriticaI individuals with
strong tendencies toward anglomania point
10 the English system of amateur coaching
as being superior 10 anything for proper
athletic development but they forget or
Intentionally overlook the fact that there
is any quantity of private tutoring by pro-
fessonals in England something of which
American athletes know little, from the
TACT that not many of our men are pos
sessed OF the financial means to engage it,
