He intends to coach the men in the line
all this week.
Wolcott, a aOO-pounder, who is yet in
eligible. but who will probably be in shape
for the game Saturday, was stationed at
guard on the first eleven and will be
coached to play that position the rest of
the season.
1t was announced tonight that Ewing,
last years guard, would be out tomorrow
afternoon. In case he returns Nebraska's
line will be nearly as heavy as Minnesota's
and should be powerful enough to hold
out against the terrific charges OF the
Gopher backs. . .
Despite tho stormy weather, King Cole
gave the Cornhuskers new plays that win
be used against Minnesota. One of these,
which is a forward pass and which is
known as the 'hold-on," is probably the
best trick play the present coach ever
taught his men since he has been at Me-
braska, and there is little doubt that it
can be used effectively against any team
on more than one occasion. Students who
saw the Cornhuskers try it today were
willing to wager that 1t would be good for
thirty or forty yards against Minnesota.
Besides the tricks given the men today
king Cole has eight or ten more that
will be introduced to the proteges Tuesday
and Wednesday.
None of the Cornhuskers was absent from
practice today and every one of them was
in fine physical condition. Several hard
serimmages will be held this week, but
special precautions will DO taken to pre-
vent any injuries to the regular men.

Chance Kicks
About Rules
National League Player Charges that
Postponement of Game
Was Illegal.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-The postponement of
the fourth game between the Chicago Nat
ional and American league base ball clubs
for the city championship today by order
of z. S. Bernard, representative of the
National commission In charge of the series,
resulted in charges from the National
league players that the postponement was
made in violation of a rule of the com
mission that the umpires shall be the sole
Judges of the condition of the field for
play.
Mr., Bernard. after visiting the American
league grounds this morning, decided that
the game scheduled for today should be
postponed. Manager Chance OF the Chicago
Nationals, though submitting without for
NAL protest, declared tonight that Mr..
Bernard acted without authority and cited
rule 16 of the National commission govern
ing contests for the worlds championship
under which the city series is being played,
which provides that the umpires only shall
be the judges of the condition Of the play
ing field and that the authority OF the
umpire shall be supreme"
The umpires had nothing TO say about the
postponement of today's game. They were
not consulted and did not know the game
had been called off until several hours after
Mr.. Bernard had sent out the notice.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Oct. u.-(Special Tele-

Fairweather have bought a controlling in
terest in the Sioux City Western league

Mr.. Hutchins will continue as treasurer.
The change will be a popular one with fans.
This looks like a "cover-up" deal TO
Omaha sports and will doubtless appear
that way TO other people. 1t is regarded
here as a scheme on the part Of Holmes to
retire temporarily from the limelight, but
still retain ownership OF the team.

DEFENSE OF DR.. ROLLER
Jack Curley Refutes Charges Of
Taking in Wrestling Game.
GOES AFTER HIS ENEMIES
Says Roller Was Praised I'm seattle
and Was victim of scheme to
Run Him Out of that
7niCity.

Jack Curley, matchmaker for the Arena
and manager for DIR. Roller at Seattle,
writes The Bee that the press reports
sent out concerning the Roller-Warne
match were wrong and that Roller actually
threw Warner and made him quit, after
he had dislocated his shoulder. He sends
clippings from two reputable newspapers
in Seattle which seem to bear out his state
ment that the match was a frame-up by
outsiders to force Roller out Of the wrest-
ling game in Seattle.
This is Curley's letter:
