NOTES
HOW THE FOOTBALL TEAMS
WILL CLOSE The SEASON

The various football battles IN both
the east and west on last Saturday did
much toward settling championships.
or at least narrowing them down to
the finals which will be fought out this
week. Minnesotas victory over Wis
consin gave the Gophers a clear field
for the conference title, and Yale de-
feating Princeton and Harvard beating
Dartmouth, put these two winners as
the logical rivals for first honors in
the east The dispute will be decided
next Saturday when the Sons of Ell
clash in the annual combat with the
crimsonites on Yale field at Cambridge.
The result of the Minnesota WILSON,
sin game gives Notre Dame a big
chance for the western championship
without having to fight 1t out verbal
ly with the Gophers, a post-season
game appearing to be practically out
Of the question. Michigan university,
conquered alone by the husky Cathol-
les. tries conclusions with Minnesota
next Saturday and should 1t be able to
defeat the winners of the Big Eight"
championship, all-western honors right

The great form the Michiganders
showed in their game against the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. humbling this
eleven for the first time in several
years, Is only a bigger boost for Notre
Dame. The latter team won from
Yosts machine IL to 8, but the fine
playing which brought victory to Mich

on the field an even selection against

CORR|GAN ASKS TO Be
DECLARED BANKRUPT
Former Master of the Haw-
thorne Track Appeals to
Kentucky Court.

Lexington, KY. Nov. 17.-Edward
Corrigan, former master of the Haw-
thorne race track, is down and out. He
filed a petition in bankruptcy today In
the United States court at Frankfort
stating his liabilities at $174, 1905 and
his assets at s1s,653. Only two seasons
ago Corrigan had a chance to sell his
race track holdings for $4,000, the
Cella-Adler- TITLES combine making the
bid.
It has been a well-known fact here
and elsewhere that Corrigan has been
financially embarrassed for some time.
The first signs of his empty purse came
when he sold the Hawthorne track IN
Chicago to Tom Carey. This track had
been his pet hobby and It seemed to
take all his spirit away.
Then came the reported effort of
Gates to obtain the $4,000 due him.
which was covered by stock in the City
Park track at New Orleans. Then came
the death OF his wife. who had backed
him up IN every move and who had
been his chief support in all his ad-
versities. This was what took the

MOVEMENT STARTED
AGAINST FOOTBALL
Game Will Possibly Become
Illegal in Washington.

Washington. Nov. 17.-Legislation to
prevent brutality in football and pos
sibly to actually prohibit the playing
of the game. is likely to follow the
mortality which has marked contests
this season. The district commissioners
now have the corporation counsel at
work on the subject. and If the situa-
ton can be handled by police regula-
tion, congress will be asked to pass a
bill which the district commissioners
will draft.
The sentiment here in official munich
pal circles is strongly against the con-
tinuous assault which now character
ICES the game and which it is thought
bring such contests within the pro-
hibition against prize fighting. In vir-
ginia the sentiment among members
of the legislature is strongly in favor
of regulating such contests, according
to advices from Richmond, and the
death of two Virginians within the last
few days from injuries received while
playing football will cause the matter
to receive consideration at the nez

BOXING
IS D. K. SAYS
Wis. SHERIFF

Milwaukee. Wis, Nov. 17.-William
r. Knell who was sheriff in Milwau-
kee county ar the time Governor Dav-
idson put the lid down on the fight
game has come out strongly in favor of
the sport. The former official declared
that there was no mention of boxing
bouts in the la wprohibiting prize fight
ing and that gloved contests under GER
tain restrictions were o. k.
7 could never see any good reason
why glove contests should be prohib-
ited,' said Kneu There is little dan
fact the instances where one of the
contestants has been seriously injured
We're few and far between.
In comparison to other sports the
glove contests are mild. Take for in
stance the game OF football In a re-
cent issue of one of the local papers,
about ten days ago, 1t was reported that
up to that time seventeen deaths had
occurred through injuries received on
the football field this year.
Then consider the wholesale slaugh-
ter of human beings in the auto races
Yet 1 would not say that football or
auto races should be placed under the
ban of the law. All these sports
should be conducted under reasonable
regulations so that mishaps may be re-
duced to minimum.
TT is not often that one reads in
the daily papers of death caused
through injury received in glove OF
boxing contests. The men entering the
ring are trained for the hardest kind
Of work and the OCCASIONAL blow re
ceived does no great damage"

Will CRESTON AND HESSVILLE
BOTH PASS UP THIS SCRAP?

It had to come and the wonder is that
1t didn't come before last night While
Podunk, Idaho, and Coons Corners,
Alaska, were getting lots OF free ad-
vertising as bidders for the Jefrries-
Johnson fight, Sterling ana other busy
little news centers in Illinois remained
quietly In the background. It began to
look as If Illinois never would be en-
tered in the bidding Derby. but sibley
came to the rescue last night with the
largest offer yet. So far no Lake coun-
ty town feels that 1t needs the adver-
Using.
Just who the hacker of the Sibley en-
terprise is. is not known. but tele-
gram to the sporting editor of the Chi
cago Examiner last night saved Illnos
from the eternal disgrace of not even
having tried to land the much talked of
battle. Here's the note:

the Michigan Aggies over Marquette
last Saturday relieves practically all
doubt that the Catholics will find It
easy on Turkey day. as they have a
clean-cut victory over the farmers
In the International games which
have been played this season the west
has proved to be a better opponent for
the fasteners than in past years. The
three biggest games so far played give
the west the best of the argument for
1909. Notre Dame beat Pittsburg uni
versity. Michigan defeated Pennsyl-
vania and Chicago again split even with
Cornell university. Pennsylvania
romped away from Michigan last year

The claim of Rose Poly to the second
airy championship of the state, CLASH
flying Wabash out OF the states big
four" included, went to smithereens
when Purdue walloped Heze Clark
bunch "a to 3. The result in this game
only went further to substantiate the
De PAW students declaration that
Rose Poly won from their eleven on a
fiuke. The Methodists made a much
better showing against the Boilermak-
ers, and made two well-earned touch
downs against them.
Unless there is a severe spill in the
dope" such as Notre Dame losing to
Wabash and Indiana to Purdue next
Saturday, the classification of Indiana s
ten leading colleges will have to be as
follows:
l. Notre Dame university.
2. Indiana university.
8. Wabash college.
4. Purdue university.
s. Rose PolytechQic institute.
s. De PAW university.
I. Butler college.

letic clubs are known by their initials

Athletic association should not be in

One thing is known, however. and that
Is that the S. A. A. is doing business

from cents to make known his offer.

Who Owns the North Pole?

The question of who owns the North
Pole is settled by Col. w. l.. Scruggs
OF Atlanta, former minister to Vene.
zuela and diplomat of note. Writing
to the Atlanta Constitution, Colone
Scruggs says:
At present nobody owns the North
Pole. 1t is no part of the possession OF
any civilized State, and is therefore
open to colonization, il anybody wants
to settle there!
Occupation is not effected by mere
discovery, even though the discoverer
be citizen or subject of civilized
State, nor if he be an officer of the State
without specific authority to take pos
session in the name of the State. Un-
der the modern rules Of international
law, the utmost that can be said for
discovery is th&t il the discoverer comes
home with news that he has found q
district hitherto unknown, other States
would be bound by the comfy of ma
tions to wait reasonable time before
sending out expeditions in order to an
mex it.
'But while the discovery alone does
not give title, it strengthens title based
on occupancy. and effective interna-
tional occupation is made up of two in-
Separsble elements, namely, annexation
and settlement.
by the formal act Of annexation, the
Annexing State notifies its intention OF
hencefcrth regarding the annexed ter
ritory rs part of its domain. The formal
act Of annexation is usually made in
modern times by hosting the national
lag and reading proclamation setting
forth the intention Of the government
to take the territory in question as its
own, but any ceremony of clear import
done on the spot in public manner, is
sufficient.
But this must be an act not of 6
private citizen, nor yet OF an official
unless he is specially authorized so &c
act in the premises. 1t must be an un.
doubted act Of the central government
on behalf Of the nation.
"Of course, If the proper authorities
send out an official specially charged
with the duty of making a particular
acquisition, the act of annexation per
formed by him is in the highest degre,
q State act and therefore valid.
"As yet this has not been done by tn
United States with reference to tn
newly discovered North Polar region
and since it does not appear that Dr
Cook held such a commission, his dis
covery, in itself, conveys no title to tn
government
