Referee Under the
Rules.

HASTINGS, Neb., oct. 30.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-Five hundred people saw-a pretty
exhibition of foot ball in the city this
afternoon, when Hastings college and Belle
vue played a tie game, the score resulting
6 to C. 1t was fast from the start, with
the teams evenly mGtched. The records
show that the ball was in Bellevue terri"
tory over three-fourths Of the game and
that the Hastings men advanced 1t 1S2
yards to Bellevue's sixty-two, exclusive of
punts and forward passes.
The game opened with the wind in
Bellevue's favor and Hastings kicking.
Bellevue worked a neat play with a long
pass to ~Claybaugh, waiting at the side
lines, but II netted them only twenty
yards. The ball was lost to Hastings on
downs and in the next ten minutes changed
hands frequently about the center Of the
field. An ~uncompleted forward pass was
caught by Dow of Bellevue, who crossed
the goal line, but was called back and
Bellevue penalized.
Punts brought Bellevue good gains, the
locals being unable to return them against
the wind. Hastings fumbled on its own
ten-yard line and Bellevue carried 1t over
on bucks. Goal was kicked, score 6 to 0.
The remainder Of the half saw the ball
well in Bellevue's territory, but no scores
were made. Time was called with the ball
on the visitors fifteen-yard line.
The second half gave Hastings the ad-
vantage Of the wind, which had counted
against It in the first. They kicked to
Bellevue, who returned the ball twenty
yards. End runs failed and Bellevue
punted back to Hastings. The ball changed
hands several times, neither side being
able to gain much. and Hastings mad a
long punt to Morter. The ball struck
the ground in front Of him and he fumbled.
Boyd, Hastings end, fell on 1t across the
Bellevue goal line. Mann punted out to
Sherrod and Welker kicked the goal. Score,
G to G..
Hastings kicked to Bellevue and Dow
was caught in his tracks. The Bellevue
men showed signs Of weakness and punted
frequently on the first down. On a neatly
executed end run, Sherrod Of Hastings cars
ried the ball from the center Of the field
across the goal line, but was recalled by
the referee, who claimed he stepped out
Of bounds. On the next scrimmage a for
ward pass was touched by Boyd of Hast
ings, dropped, and recovered by Welker,
who made a pretty run for a touchdown.
This. too, was disallowed by the rules re-
curing the same man to recover the ball
who first touched Il. The half ended with
the ball on Believes twenty-yard line.

SCORE THIRTEEN TO TWELVE

IOWA CITY, Ia, oct. s0.-Cspecial Tel
egram. Iowa was definitely put out of
the Missouri valley championship race
when Missouri won a hard-fought game
here today by a score of 10 to IL. The
Tigers scored a touchdown in each half
and a place kick by Bluck in the first
period Of play. The Hawkeyes braced
later in the game and with splendid
marches down the field scored two touch
downs, both being made by Murphy, who
was put in at fullback for Wright In the
second half. The weather was too hot
for foot ball and both teams suffered in
consequence, Iowa more than Missouri.
Several substitutions were made in the
second half.
Iowa played erratlo foot ball. For two
periods of six minutes each the Hawk
eyes played the foot ball which tied Ne
braska and even better, but the general
showing was poor. Missouri had the bet
ter of the argument most of the game.
The Tiger backfield was strong and time
after time punctured the Iowa line for
big gains. Linz bucks by Bluck, Alexan-
der and Wilder, together with Halls
splendid punting, were the features of
the game from the Missouri standpoint
Little Saunders ran the team well and
played heady foot ball, picking the weak
spots in the Iowa line with accuracy. Fee
got away with one long run, but his
handling Of punts was not up to expecta-
tions. When the team braced in the sec
ond half his play was fine and he ran
the team with rare judgment. Murphy
was the star Iowa ground gamer. The
nervy fullback, despite the injury sus-
tained in the Nebraska game, played
great foot ball and his hucking made
possible the two Iowa touchdowns. Cap
tain Gross and Hyland played a good
game for the Hawkeyes, and Hyland's
running with the ball was one Of the
features of the second half. Halfback
Dyer shared honors with Murphy in the
long advance for the second Iowa touch
down.
Missouri scored after eighteen minutes
of play in the first half Of splendid line
bucking; Alexander crossed the line.
Bluck made a place kick eight minutes
later from the field and the half ended
8 to 0. In the first minute of the period
of play Wilder broke through the line
for a fifty-five-yard run. Bluck missed
goal, making the score 10 to o. Iowa
rushed a touchdown across twelve min
utes later, largely through the splendid
bucking of Murphy and Dyer. Later in
the half O'Brien grabbed a kick, reeover-
ing the ball for Iowa. Iowa repeated it's
forward march in the same manner and
after Hyland kicked goal. The score
lacked one point of being tied. The game
ended in three more minutes Lineup;

cause OF serious injuries received by Bryne,

critical.
Harvard gave the best exhibition OF the
forward pass seen at West Point this year.
The passes were not long but they were
sure; only one failed. The army tried
the onside kick twice-onee In the first half
for a gain OF e~hirty-five yards, and once
in the second half for a loss when the ball
went directly to Leslie, the Harvard left
half back, who caught it.
Frothingham's poor judgment OF punts
lost Harvard much ground In the first
half, but his accurate following Of inter-
ference and Leslie's brilliant running
through broken fields were substantial
factors in obtaining the crimson her VIC
tory.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 2S.-In accord
ance with the suggestion of President
Roosevelt and Governor Gillett, that
the state labor commissioner be given

SECRETARY STRAUS PROVIDES
JAPANESE IMMIGRATION FACTS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S-Secretary
StrauS forwarded a letter today 20
Senator Frank p. Flint of California
discussing the statistics of the de-
partment of commerce and labor COW
ering the immigration of Japanese to
the United States and the emigration
of Japanese from the United States.
Secretary Straus writes:
You will observe that the entire
number (Japanese) admitted was 12.-
Alb for the calendar year 1907, while
the entire number admitted was but
4477 for the calendar year 1908. You
will also bear in mind that the ex-
ecutive order of the president was is
sued March IA, 1907, but it took a
considerable time to prepare regula-
lions provided for in that order and
put the regulations into effect, and for
the department of state, both here and
through our ambassador to Japan, to
arrive at a definite understanding with
the Japanese government. I desire
furthermore to direct your attention to
the fact that the entire immigration
for the year beginning November l,
1907, and ending October 81, 1908. was
GOLF, while the departures for the same
period were 1882, leaving an increase
for immigration of Japanese for that
year of 1S5.
II IL luIIn6T 10 ne ODS6IN6u IildJ DG-
ginning with the month of June, 1907,
to October, 1908, the emigration of
Japanese exceeded the immigration to
the United States by 1912. showing dis
tinctly that the trend of the migra-
ton of japanese is from the United
States.
ut is further shown by the marked
decrease of immigration during the
months referred to of 1908, as COM
pared with the same months of 1907
1.-THE press reports which I have
seen contain statements made by some
of your people in California that these
figures are not accurate. / desire en-
phatically to state they are absolutely
correct, and the proof thereof, which
is on file in the department, clearly
demonstrates the accuracy of the fig
ures.
cit has further been intimated, as I
see from reports, that there is large
surreptitious influx of Japanese over
the Mexican and Canadian borders I
am justified in saying that this is not
true, for obvious reasons. That there
are some few scattered surreptitious
entries is quite probable, but the sum
is so small that it cannot be conse-
quentiaL"
