ROOSEVELT is THINNER.
The Colonel Has Lost His Double Chin
and Taken Up His Belt.

New York Dec. 13.-Frederick C. Sc
lous, the widely known big game shoot
er, explorer and ivory hunter, was here
yesterday on his way to California. and
told of his meeting and long talk with
Colonel Roosevelt in Nairobi last JULY.
1t was the ;tirring tales of big game
shooting in the African jungles, when
ne was guest at the White House
seven years ago. that first game Mr..
Roosevelt his dreams of rhiuoceros
heads and lion skins.
accompanied Colonel Roosevelt or,
5O0 mile trip inland from Mombassa
10 Nalrobi and helped 10 see that his
exped1lon was organized in first-class
shape before left on my own trip into
the interior" he said. 1T so happened
that we both got back to Nairobi about
the same time in July. He had come
IN TO rent for another journey into the
brush, and l was heading back for the
seacoast with my trophies The first
thing he said after we had shaken
hands was:
''I tell you, Selous. it's bullyr
He was like a boy out of school, His
measure had lost more inches than I
could guess. / should say he had taken
off ID or 20 pounds and he looked strong
enough to hug a python to death. Mr..
Roosevelt told me in a careless sort of
way some of the incidents of the
hunt, and / wet around and made in
quiries among the other members of his
expedition and among the other hunters
of Nairobi
We'll, you car believe that what they
told me surprised me. Several veteran
hunters tod me that it was almost i'm
possible to beAeve that the colonel had
never shot African big game before
They said that nothing could shake his
nerve, that he was QUICK thinker and
quick mover and a dandy shot
His First Lion.
HHere is one little story. The finest
lion they got gave them a long chase
Mr.. Roosevelt was in the lead, and get
ting close up for a shot when the lion
suddenly turEed and charged his horse.
The horse naturally SHE'D, but even at
that disadvantage the colonel stopped
his charge with the first shot-right
through the chest.
Another time they were going
through the scrub on foot when they
came across a big python. A python
will hide or run from man as quick
ly as any other big animal. but Colonel
Roosevelt only wounded this one, and
it turned on him. It was about ten
feet from the enc of his rifle when he
got ready for the second shot, and he
broke its spine just below the head. If
be had missed it would certainly nave
hurt him.
THAT is the real test of big game
hunter--standing in front OF a charg
ing animal that could kill a dozen men
if it got close enough, and ceolly pump
ing shot into it until it drops.
There isn't any occasion for any
alarm about Mr.. Roosevelt's health,
either now or later. Mr.. Roosevelt,
W hen 1 lef. him, was planning to shoot
down through the Uganda country. and,
of course, it is a different proposition
down at that level in the warm, damp
jungles. But man just going through
there, especially man that is in as
good condition as he is, would be in
very little danger from fever"

SCHULZ FOR COACH?
Michigan's Famous Captain Applies
for Washburn Job.

Ado1ph G. Schulz. two years the
choice for an alI-American center,
four wears member and the 1907
captain of "Hurry-up' Yost's great
Michigan machine, has rendered
application for the Washburn job left
vacant by TIE retirement of Coach
Garfield Weede.
And Mr.. Schulz being the possessor
of the most attractive record of all
applicants will be seriously con-
sidered. Salary may be a point of
difference. But MIR. Schulz's- fore
runner in this neck of the football
world, Bonnie Owen, has made such
a record that the Michigan man has
already some prestige conceded.
Drs. John H. Outland and Garfield
G. Weede were both all-American
material from Pennsylvania and in
PRODUCED some live eastern tactics
more especially Weede, who had
served under the new rules on the
Penn team and been asked in con-
sultation on the play for the succeed
ing year. Thus Washburn's lessons
from Penn. have been considered as
up to date as were obtainab.e. but
the tactics of Fielding H. Yost when
pitted against these of Penn. have
shown to advantage.
If Schulz. being line man. has
assimilated the "hurry-hurry'' of his
former coach then he would IN
doubtedly get a little Precipitation out
of the Washburn scuad-and that is
conceded to be one of the things the
Washburn squad most needs-besides
material.
