CARLISLE ADOPTS
CODE AT BIG COST
New Eligibility Rules Mean
Loss of Indians Stellar
Players.
BY GLENN WARNER.

II the Carlisle Indians do well upon
the gridirOn this year. Il is hard to see
what valid criticisms can be made TO
belittle their victories. as has been the
custom IA previous years, and especially
last year. when such a brilliant record
was made
The only grounds for criticism hereto
fore has been that Carlisle had no
eligibility rules and played men in some
instances for more than four years.
Since last season the authorities Of the
school have put eligibility rules into
force which prevent any player from
being upon the team more than four
years. and placing the players under
practically the same rules as are in
force in the majority Of colleges.
By reason Of these eligibility rules and
by graduation the team will lose five oS
its best players Of last year. These are
Captain Lube. right tackle: Exendine,
right end; Gardner. left end; Hen
bricks. right half. and Mt. Pleasant,
quarterback. The places left vacant by
these men will be filed ty substitutes Of
last season, and one new man. who
comes from a Western Indian school.
and who looks TO be good enough for
a regular place. The old men who
are back are Captain Wauseka. who mas
played two years as left tackle: Afraid
of-a-Bear, left guard: Little rov.
center: Aiken. right guard; Payne LETT

men have been upon the team but one

By JAMES BAIRD.

The outlook for the football team at
the University Of Michigan for the
season Of 1908 is much more encourage
ing than It was at this time in 1907.
The schedule IS better, and the Michi-
gan team promises to be % per cent
stronger than It was a year ago. While
the backfeld will not be as strong as
II was in the days Of Heston. Ham
mond. and Longman, yet it will be
speedy and quite skiIlfuL
The new rules have greatly modified
the game Of football, and the style Of
play viii be somewhat different this
year from that OF preceding years. The
success Of plays founded on the posi-
bilities of the forward pass, puts
higher premium than formerly on men
active and skillful in passing the ball.
Such a radical change in the rules also
opens field for development Of skill
and science along lines that have been
uncultvated. The game is more spec
tacular than ever, and affords greater
opportunity for the display Of skill and
science in strategy.
Material Improves.
For the upbuilding Of a good football
team Michigan has much better mate
rial than she had last year With the
passing OF the last year or two. Michi-
gan has been able to. in part. adapt
herself TO the new circumstances, and
is in much better shape this fall to pre-
mare for the big games. More candi-
ia shaw ever have come out for the
cam. and " lie for the most part they

weighs about 1S5 pounds and is six feet

Iege work, Dawson was not able 10
play last season.
Tackle Candidates.
For the other tackle position we have
such men as Benbrook, Davidson. Riley
and Brenton to draw from. Thomas
Riley. of Escanaba, Mich, entered the
university last fall and played the en-
tire season with the 1910 law team.
Riley weighs about 1875 pounds. and is
5 feet 10 inches high. He is strong
and fast and is equally at home in the
back field.
H. 3. Branton is a new candidate
from PittstOn, Pa He is a member Of
the 1911 engineering class. Little is
known Of Br2ntOn's playing qualify
be that he can be developed into a
hrst-clasS PLAYER.
For the end positions Michigan has
several good candidates. Embs, who
played guard on the varsity last fair
is equally at home at the end position
and may be given a trial there this
fall. Also EdmUndS. who PLAYED fIII-
back on the reserves last fall, NAV be

PRAISES LINTHICUM

"F. H. Linthicum, of Wash

game on the 1910 engineer team
last fall, is also looked upon as
a likely candidate for a position
back of the line. Lint.fcum
weighs about 40 pounds, and Is
a strong and fast man. Linthi-
cum is also an excellent baseball
player, being one of the varsity
pitchers last spring."

Football prospects at the University
Of Chicago are not brilliant.
The squad IS the smallest since 1901.
and the quality OF he line material is
the poorest since that year. At the
close Of the football season Of 1907 sew
enteen men were presented with the

either graduated or are ineligible. or
have failed 70 return Three of the re-

THE TlOGA TROUBLE
Three Ksokuk County Men Were
Implicated.

The little village of Tioga ON the
east line of Mahaska county was the
scene of small riot the other day in
which three Keokuk county men, Dave
Taylor, Claude A. Simpkins and his
brother. Bud" Simpkins, were impll-
Gated.
According to advices that reached
Oskaloosa officers, the three fellows
met at the Tioga general store which
is just in the Mahaska county line.
Taylor and the elder Simpkins en-
gagged in a heated argument, where
upon, It is charged, Taylor fiourished
a revolver. The other Simpkins no.
ticed the move and felled Taylor to
the floor with butt end of a buggy
whip. Taylor was stunned for sey.
eral minutes
The trouble was not reported to the
Mahaska county officers, but Justice
Bacon got wind of the ARRAY yester-
day and issued a warrant charging
Taylor with threatening to commit
public offense. Constable Geo. An
drews went to Delta yesterday and
arrested Taylor, who gave bond for
appearance. Constable Andrews says
from what he learned OF the affair, the
Simpkins boys were equally to blame.
Warrants will be issued for their ar
rest and they will be brought here
next week for trial.

TO INSPECT ALL COWS
Where Milk is Sold, Animals Must
Have Certificates.

The problem of tuberculosis in milk
has been brought before the people
in rather emphatic manner by the
State Board of Health and the neces-
sity of healthful cattle for dairy
herds is being emphasized daily in
the fight being waged against the
great white plague"
Oskaloosa will be one of the first
cities of the state to take up the in.
spection of dairy herds and a new
ordinance will provide for the annual
inspection of cattle used for furnish
ing milk to customers. No inspec-
ton will be required for cow or
cows kept for one family use, but in
any case where milk is sold, If to
only one or two customers, the AM.
NAL from which the milk or cream is
obtained must have a certificate OF
health renewed annually. Animals
found to have tuberculosis or other
disease rendering their milk unfit for
use will be condemned.
The new law will become operative
in this city sometime during the
spring and it will be met with general
commentator. No man desires to
use milk from an animal known to
have tuberculosis and no dealer cares
to sell milk of that character. Hence
the protection that will be afforded by
the new ordinance extends in both
directions.
