CIRCUS OFFERS ROOSEVELT
$4,000 FOR A LIVE LION
Norris & Rowe Propose That Money
Be Paid to Charitable
Institution

Ten thousand dollars for a live lion
is the offer that has been made to
Theodore Roosevelt by the manager of
the Norris & Rowe circus. Thinking
that the story of his African hunt, at
the rate of 81 word will provide
Mr. Roosevelt with all the money he
needs for years to come, the agent
of the menagerie suggests that, if he
accepts the offer, the $4,000 be paid
to any charitable institution that the
former president may name.
If Mr.. Roosevelt accepts the Offer
Frank Williams, well known as d
wild animal trainer, and two assistants
will be dispatched to join the party. A
steel den and all other necessary APP
planes will be furnished through
the European agent of the circus and
sent to any point that Roosevelt
designates.

WHITMAN AND

D To D CAME
GREAT FOOTBALL CONTEST is
PULLED OFF ON THE
WALLA WALLA FIELD.
(By United Press Leased Wire.

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
WAI1LA WALLA, Nov. 10
Whibworth and Whitman colleges
fought it out ON the gridiron here
yesterday with a 0 to score as
the result. Neither side could
make a point. Unable to MAKE
touchdowns, the kickers tried for
place and drop kicks but even
these failed. Whitman made four
attempts to score from the field
and Whitworth three.
Payne, the clever kicker of
Whitworth, came within a foot of
the goal posts in a place kick
from the 47-yard line, but that
was the closest either got to a
score.
Shredder of the Whitworth
team was the star of the game.
The line of Whitworth also sur
prised the rooters by it's clever
ness. The boys are all new at the
business but they outplayed Whit
man all around.
Payne outpunted Borleske on
nearly every attempt of this kind
but neither side was strong
enough to get the ball over the
line of the enemy.

The formation had the Quakers
worried; the players were hurry
ing here and there, trying to find
defensive formation that they
thought would meet the play
whatever it might be.
Wasmund called for the ball,
ran backward step or two and
then shot it backward diagonally
to Allerdice. That player made a
40-yard pass to Magoffin, who had
scampered down the field unmo-

yards for touchdown-while 49,
600 spectators yelled themselves
hoarse.
Suddenly a hush fell; Referee
Murphy was standing on the spot
from which Allerdice had passed
the ball-and l knew he had ruled
that the pass was illegal. He held
that it did not cross the scrim-
mage line five yards from the
point where it was put in play, and
for that reason failed to conform
to the limitations the rulemakers
put on the forward pass.

for weeks-for just such a crisis.
Wasmund, at quarter, had been
instructed to save the play until
the last minute, and none of our
trick stuff had been uncorked dur

second half was comparatively

INDIAN BEHIND THE MASK; Or,
THE STRATEGY Of BUTCH

over on Squedunk. back in the
'9os. Squedunk had an Indian, a
fullback, who was mighty dark
complexioned, but he could play
like six men. We had no chance
with him in the game.
"A week before the game I
fixed up a deal. I got a white
mask that looked almost human.
On the forehead was painted a
cash and some phony blood. On
the morning of the game | went
to the ambulance man who had the
football job at Squedunk and slip-
ped him $40 and a fragrant roll
of hemp.
On the first down after the
kickoff / jumped on the fullback
like a load of bricks. He went
down and the rest of the Lalapa-
loosa team fell on top of me. I
slapped the mask on the Indians
fact and when the pile crawled
Off yelled Man hurt!'
That was the signal for the
ambulance men. They grabbed
the man in the mask, chucked
him into the ambulance, and the
driver whipped up like mad for
the nearest hospital.
"Squedunk thought one of our
men was hurt. They knew it could
not be the Indian, because his
face was dark. In the excitement
our left end slipped away and we
put In a'sub. Then we lined I'D
again and Squedunk learned heir
halfback was missing. There was
a big to do, but he couldn't be
found.
He's a quitter!" yelled Suue-

laurels. The same is true of plays.
From a Michigan standpoint, l
might say that the play which j
consider the greatest and most
Spectacular l ever saw, was not
really creator it did not sue
coed. But my conclusion is, !
think, Justified by the success the
play met with when executed by
other teams.
When it is considered that
every big college team has each
year a repertoire of more than
100 plays, each of which has
been thought out with the great
est care, it is naturally no easy
proposition to say that this or that
play was most wonderful.
Perhaps the fact that the sue
cess of the play 1 describe
meant so much to me makes
it stand out in my mind-but
at any rate l never saw play that
looked so good to me.
1t was in the Michigan-Penn-
|sylvania game in 1907. We had
been undefeated until that day,
despite the lack of formidable
offense. Pennsylvania had a won
derful team, with such a backfield
as Beinath, Folwell, Green and
Hollenback, and we knew that if
we won it must be by strategy.
Fortunately our offense was
strong, due largely to the wonder
full work of Schulz, and in the
first half we succeeded in prae-
tically holding our own with the
Quakers. True, early in the half
Gallaghed had recovered an on
side kick on our 10-yard line and
been pushed over for a touchdown,
o that at the end of the period
Penn was leading 6 to 0.
The Michigan team had shown
better than was expected, and the
bleacher crowd was confident. And
as for me-I'm forced to admit /

bleachers, for 1 had been working

Butch read as follows:
Dear Mr.. Macginnity:
why not use this idea for one
of your football yarns? Have the
Mugwumps play the decisive
game with the Lowbrows. Smith
of the Lowbrows is the best full
back in the state. and the Mug
wumps can't win with him in the
game.
so the Mugwumps put up a
game. When the teams line up,
Jones, a poor player, is at right
half for the Mugwumps in place
of Johnson, the star. Just before
the game starts Jones walks over
to Smith and says something
saucy. Smith answers, and Jones
swings at him. Smith hits back,
and both are sent to the side
lines. Johnson goes in for Mug
wumps, and the Lowbrows, with
out Smith, are licked.
