MARQUETTE TO PLAY HERE
Telegram is Received Arranging a
Game with Creighton.
LOCAL MEN ARE IN GOOD SHAPE
CrciRhton squad Puts In week OF
Light Practice--Temporary Grand
stand H. Now Ready-MRy
Bald More.

Manager Carroll OF the Marquette uni
lverslty foot ball team wired the Creighton
management yesterday afternoon that they
would play with Creighton in this city
October %. Marquette contemplates maxi
ling a western trip this year and will play
In Kansas City and perhaps Denver. AL
though a trifle early in the season for such
a prominent team to play here, Coach
Miller believes his men will be in excellent
condition TO meet the fast Milwaukee
eleven.
Light preliminary practice has been the
order for the last week, but beginning to-
morrow the men will commence regular
training. The squad will be considerably
Increased, due TO the fact that several Of
the old men will report Morganthaler the
husky tackle, has entered the medical
school and has already Joined the squad.
Marion, captain OF last years eleven, re-
turned from the northwest last evening
and will don a uniform AsNiday. Marion
has been always hard. consistent player
and his return to the team viii considerably
strengthen the back field Leo Mcguire a
halfbaek on the 1908 team, has also an
nounced his intention Of Joining the squad
in few days
Big Veterans Back.
Hoy and Baldwin have registered at the
law school and II is expected that they will
report for practice during the coming week,
jap Tamiscea, tackle of the 1903 team,
has been out west during the summer and
did not neglect to pick up little extra
weight during his vacation. He weighs
$50 pounds and should be tower of
strength on defense.
! OSullivan, 80 FOUNDER from the Uni
versity of Missouri, will be seen in Creigh-
ton uniform Monday evening. Kyle, end,
and Lee, tackle, were out during the last
week.
Good Feeling Exists.
A striking characteristic of the foot ball
work on the hill so far this season is the
general good feeling that exists among the
players. Coach Miller has already proven
himself most popular among the men, and
certainly the management is to be con-
graduated upon the selection Of the coach.
He comes well recommended from the Uni
versity of Notre Dame, where his unusually
brilliant playing last season was chiefly
responsible for the defeat Of the Wolver-
ines. His method of coaching will be strict,
and in no instance will he tolerate shirlxing
on the part of any Of the players Men
will be required to train faithfully, and
absence from practice will oe followed by
dismissal from the squad.
Grandstand Completed.
! The temporary grandstand was completed
! last night. II Is estimated that the seating
capacity is about 1000 With Marquette on
its schedule it is believed by the Creighton
manager that perhaps a smaller set of
bleachers may be erected to accommodate
the crowd or that boxes may be built at
various places on the campus.

FOOT BALL PRACTICE IN IOWA
COe College squad Puts In Week at
Lake Mime Estema.

Luke mime ENtemhs
DIES MONIES, Ia, Sept. 1O.-(SpeciaL)-
Iowa coaches are sadly puzzled by the
new foot ball rules Preliminary practice
started at several of the colleges in the
state has simply been series OF expert
ments. with the foot ball teachers and
officials still decidedly in the dark as to
just what sort of q game the ''re-debrutal-
lied foot ball will develop.
Coach Clyde Williams started the ball a
rolling at Arnes this week, but absolutely
no dope has been forthcoming from the
Aggie stronghold. However Williams is
decidedly thinker and his new formations
are dreaded by the other coaches.
The old Ames varsity players who have
reported are Captain Scott, Ringheim,
Chapel and Mccoy. Hart and Smith may
also join the squad later OF last years
substitutes Cockeral. Rutledge. Brown and
Lasourd are back. OF the scrubs Juhl,
Vincent, Kirk, Crawford, Reeves, Morse
and Mcdonald are the most likely.
Williams will be aided in the coaching
work by Homer Hubbard, Buck" Coover,
Bickham and DR.. F. w. Law, captain Of
the last Ames state championship team.
Coe colleges foot ball squad twenty
strong, left Cedar Rapids Tuesday bound
for Lake Mime Estema, near Vinton, where
weeks conditioning and practice will
take place. Captain Smith worked hard all
summer to prepare for the camp by cprre-
spondence, and the veterans responded by
being promptly on hand for the trip.
Coaches Bryant and Ball established two
regular hours of practice each day, one at
10 O'Clock and the other at $780,

Another big boost for the sud-
denly started campaign for clean
civic and county conditions was
that given today by the session of
the Spokane County Township and
Good Government league. When
the session was called to order by
President Martin in Judge HinkIe's
room at the courthouse this morn
ing. hundred out of town members
of the league were present, and
within an hour the room was
packed. by noon there was no place
to stand in the big chamber, and
every train is bringing more men,
bers.
The county is apparently as thor
oughly stirred up as is the city over
bad administration methods and
rotten political cliques.
President Martin in his opening
address took occasion to express
the organization sympathy with

labor in its recent victory over the
council, and speaking of how the
farmers had been treated by the
county political crew, said:
viii it be necessary for us to do
as labor did? Will we have to march
several thousand strong on the
courthouse before We get a square
deal?"
Continuing, the speaker said:
When, year ago. asserted
that 100000 was being squandered
by the county government each
year | was laughed at. Today the
report of the county auditor proves
how much | was mistaken. We
have saved this county more than
$4,000 in the last year, according
to the auditors report just issued"
Then taking up the report in detail.
Mr.. Martin showed. that $4,000 had
been saved in the matter of salar-
les in 1909 over 1908; that for the
maintenance of the courthouse and
jail in 1909 it had cost $9S,9S0 and
in 1909 $54, ,730. That the poor farm
cost the county in 1908 $25, 200 and
but $4,000 in 1909: that in 1908 the
county commissioners for personal
expenses illegally spent s169S and
in 1909 they spent but 40 cents.
That made decreased expenditure
of s56,10 in a year, due to the fight
of the organization, and to this was
was TO be added the extra $500
for the Alaska-Yukon-P Pacific expo
sitiOn, that was paid out of the saw
ings of the year, making a total de-
duction from the county expense in
year of $4,000. and some odd
hundreds of dollars.
