THINKS MICHIGAN'S
CHANCES ARE GOOD
YOST HAS MANY EXPERIENCED
PLAYERS BACK
Prospects for Winning Team Better
Than They Were Year Ago.
Reinschild Back In
Game

ANN ARBOR, Aug. 26.-When asked
last week what the prospects for a
winning team for Michigan were, Coach
Yost replied:
First class. Exams are over, sum-
mer school is past, vacation Is draw
ing to close, and still we have list
of candidates that looks awfully good.
year ago in June we thought we had
the making of a good team. Swish!
The faculty ak got Rheinschild, Schultz
and Coe. Then came hard luck that
drew Patrick and Curtis from us,
leaving our team in badly banged-up
shape.
Few of the men 1 counted on for
this fall have lost out l unders tand
Quarterback Bishop and End Feather
stone are out of 1t through faculty ac-
tion, though the Ohio boy may get into
shape if he works hard don't know
whether Newton, the tackle, has recov-
cred sufficiently his physical strength
after his illness of last winter"
will the team be heavy enough?"
Now" and that smile reappeared
again, don't you worry about the
weight. Let's see what we have: For
Garrels place at full there are Loell,
whom 1 expect will show class as one
of the greatest players in the country
this fall. and Allerdice, the sophomore
from Shortridge high, Indianapolis
Both are good at booting the leather.
"The quarterback. half and squads
are usually made up of about the same
class men. In them we will have Joy
Miller, Wasmund and Rumney of De-
troit; Captain Magoffin, Douglas and
Sullivan the ball player. Every one of
these five men is good mighty good.
Old Line Back
"On the line we have old Germany
Schultz at center, 'Octy' Graham, Sam
Dawson, Flanagan, Tom Joyce and
Rheinschild. Everybody knows Schultz,
Rheinschild and Graham. Dawson is
the man I drew from a class team last
fall just four days before the Penn
game, gave him one scrimmage practice
and three workouts, and stacked him
up against the principal defense of the
Quakers. He played splendid ball,
twice holding the Pennsylvanians when
they were battering away on our one
yard line. I count him veteran.
tom Joyce is a great. big, pleasant
Irishman from Notre Dame, bright in
his studies, as genial as the sun on Ire
lands hills. I've never seen him play,
but If he plays as he acts he will make
good. He's backed up by good rec
ord on the Notre Dame eleven.
"Flannagan is a corkingly hulking
man. He moseyed around in good style
on the engineering team last fall, but
I don't know how he will show up in
the varsity company.
Schultz and Rheinschild are valu-
able not only for their physical
but for their knowledge of
the game. Their enforced stay on the
side lines last fall did both of them
good. They got an insight into how
well and poorly coaching instructions
were followed, and of what Importance
headwork was in this little game we
play. Toward the end of the season
they were capable of doing some good
coahing themselves and were a big
help to me-

NEW LONDON STADIUM
TO SEAT LARGE CROWD
WILL HAVE ROOM FOR EIGHTY
THOUSAND SPECTATORS
Is Being Built for olympan Games,
in Which Twenty-Five Nations
Will Enter Crack
Athletes

LONDON, Aug 26.-Athletes on this
side are now beginning to focus their at
tention on the great international Olympic
games to be held in London in July Of
next year. 1t is expected that twenty-five
nations will compete, and, in view of the
recent reverses sustained by English
sportsmen, British athletics are being ad-
jured to spare no effort to obtain the en-
try Of the best possible athletes
In addition the stadium will contain
space for great international sports and
pastimes and a travel exhibition. 1t will
be oval in shape, with seats all the way
round and passage beneath. The length
of the stadium will be 1000 feet and the
width 700 feet. The first track will be for
cycling and will be thirty-five feet wide
and of two and three quarters laps to the
mile. Inside that will be running track
twenty-five feet wide and three laps to
the mile.
Then there will be a swimming tank loo
meters long, and the remainder inside will
be turfed for lawn tennis and numerous
ohter contests. The program for next
years games has only been Professionally
fixed, for each nation is at present consid-
ering the conditional form.
But the principal athletic events will in
all probability include the following: Flat
racing, hurdle racing jumping. throwing
throwing the discus and hurling the jaw
elm.
Many Events Planned
There will also be competitions in cy-
cling and archery for men and women
fencing, golf, gymnastics football, hook
ey, lacrosse. lawn tennis swimming and
wrestling. In addition, shooting competi-
tions will be arranged at Bisley, rowing
contests at Henley, automobile races at
the new track at Brooklands, racing for
motor boats in Southampton water, yacht
ing races in the Solent, polo matches at
Hurlingham. skating contests at one of
the London Kinks, and racquette and ten
mis- matches at, Queens club.
Entries from each country will be lin
tied in number for various events. twelve
being the maximum for most of the ath-
letic competitions. They will be made by
the association covering the sport in each
country, and will be confined strictly to
amateurs.
The Olympic games, 1t may be recalled,
were revived in Athens In 1896, after an
interval of 1900 years Paris followed In
19Oo and st. Louis In 1904 Now England
has its turn, and the British Olympic as
sociation hopes, with International co-ope-
ration. to succeed in making London the
center of a sporting carnival unsurpassed
in the history Of the world.

Every little while the world is asked
10 consider the possibility Of an upris-
ing of the natives Of India against
the ''benehcent'' rule of the British.
Things have recently been pictured as
very much unsettled and the possible
ty of another Sepoy rebellion not re-
mote. Why this should be so has long
been mystery. Kipling, who Is an au-
thority on India, told us in THE White
Mans Burden" that the Indians are
getting all the grain in the Anglo-In-
dian partnership and the white man
only husks. But from India comes an
other story.
A recent number of 1.-The Friend Of
India" published In Calcutta, declares
that arbitrary rule "has converted the
loyalty Of the native army into disaf-
lection" The Indian army outnumbers
the European soldier element two to
one. Since the Sepoy rebellion half a
century ago the natives have been
highly equipped and well trained In
modern methods. An uprising today
would be something more than riot II
the people have long been nursing a
social grudge. A browning gulf Of so
cial intercourse" lies between the
white man and the native in India,
says Prathifal Signh, cultivated In
dian, who describes the situation in
the Hindoostan Review. This writer
asserts that a naughty attitude, brutal
discourtesy and utter want Of discern
ment characterize the behavior Of the
Britisher toward his brown brother.
He speaks Of "the bitter feelings al
ready existing between the rulers and
the ruled in India" British army OIL
GERS are not alone in maintaining a
naughty attitude toward the natives.
"Raw civilians" sent out as civil sGrv-
ants lose their heads and put on airs
Of superiority the moment they get
least of Suez." The railroads have
"Jim Crow cars, 'for Indians only"
and no Indian is allowed to enter cars
labeled "For Europeans only" "Sullen
discomfort" is noted now among the
Sepoys, just as in the days preceding
the mutiny of 1854. Evidently England
cannot afford to disarm her white
forces in India at present.

Worms IN Hooa.


When doctorlng the hogs for worms
Il IL best to give each an Individual
treatment. For a day or so before adj
ministering the medicine very little
feed should be given them. Then the
following as drench should be given:
Spirits Of turpentine, one tablespoon
ful; raw llnseed oil, three tablespoon
fuls. Repeat the dose each day for
three days. The feed should be grad
ually increased till at the end of FIVE
days the usual amount Is fed. If it Is
difficult to drench the hog have an as

II squeals pour the medicine well back
on the tongue through a heavy, long
Peeked bottle. A pint of I've from hard

Hogs should have liberal amount
Of hardwood ashes near them at all
times. II may seem that they do not
eat much of these, but there is enough
taken into the stomach and intestines
to hold In check the development Of
worms. 1t is necessary that the ashes

To sharnsn Old Files.

To know how dull files are very east
~ sharpened Is worth to the farmer
many a round dollar. There are peo
pie who throw away files thinking they
are worn out, but that is In many
case a large mistake. The dizziness OF
files Is produced by the finely ground
chips checking between the teeth OF
files. The secret Of sharpening files Is
the following: Take one part sulphuric
acid and five parts water. Mix both
well together, and in this solution put
dull files for twenty-four hours. Be
fore using files after they have been
sharpened In this way wash of the
files well with soap and when dry rub
in with kerosene oil. This process
will make old dull files like new. Be
cautious with this acid in handling, as
It Is not to make fun with.

amount of nutriment. OF course they
may be fed to excess, in which case
they act injuripusly on the kidneys, but

The Brood Mare.

In purchasing brood mare that has
reached mature age be careful to learn
whether or not she has produced foals
regularly every year when given an
opportunity. 1t makes a vast difference
In the profits whether mares produce
every year or only once in two years.
Mares that have been unfortunate and
lost foals should as a rule be passed
by, for i'll luck is liable to pursue them.
