TO BOOM WESTERN ROWING.
Minnesota Now Working For College
Regatta on Mississippi.

Minnesota university has established
a rowing camp at Lake Minnetonka.

Richard Grant. They have big desire

Coach conibear of the University Of
Washington is one of the most en-

YOUNG SCHAEFER is
CHIP OFF OLD BLOCK.
Son OF Former Billiard Cham
plOn Is After Title.

The followers of the billiard game
may hear OF a new wizard cuing his
way to the championship before many
more years. II may be true that Viii
lie Hoppe is the master OF the deen
table games. but let It be known that
Jacob Sehaefer, Jr.. the son of the late
Jake. is showing ability In teasing tho
ivory balls. When Schaefers father
was champion of the world several
years ago he was considered as great
an artist with the cue as any in the
game. The straight rail game was
easy, but the balk line was a style OF
play still easier for the man who was
known in those days as the wizard Of
billiards.
Jake Schaefer. Jr.. although only sIx-
teen years old. is playing in even bet
ter form than his father displayed at
that age. The kid recently defeated
Chic Wright. the champion of the Pa
cific coast. In the game with Wright
young Schaefer clipped of a run OF
12s at the 1872 balk line style. and his
average was sixteen.
In the last few years the young bill

In Denver and other experts who have
seen this young man handle the cue

worlds greatest players Schaefer
plays his best game at the 1872 baIk
line game. He is beginning to nurse
the balls in the same manner which
made his father the ehampiop Of ali

little fellow. and the big man aimed a
crushing blow at the others face. The
face shifted, and the blow missed by a

on the nose that brought blood. This

The football rules committee win
meet in New York the last week in De-
cember 10 pass on the answers to the
above questions.
Line Plunsing . Thing Of Past.
In all football games this season IL
has been proved that line plunging in
football Is q thing OF the past For a
back to gain ten yards through a line
without interference or the pushing
and pulling Of his teammates is prac-
tically impossible.
The science OF football In the future
must be in the running Of the ends, the
forward pass. the onside kick and.
above all, the running back OF punts.
Punting figures so largely in the game
now that the catching Of the ball and
running II back must become an exact
/ science.
The open game has come to stay, and
1t must be admitted that it is much
more pleasing TO the spectator The
rule preventing interference, which has
/ practically abolished line plunging, Is
/ the strongest blow that has been
struck at the old time dangerous mass
plays since the rules committee first
began to tamper with the rules.
Many rules IN the past have been but
1 slight eyasions, but the elimination OF
interference hit the vital spot II
opened the game and did away with
danger.

That she will be useful on the other

ALAMoSA ITEMS
From The Courier

FROM Inc COuFleT
At seven O'Clock Tuesday even
ing fire was discovered in the
frame shack in the rear of the
American National Bank. The
fire department was on the scene
promptly, though they complain
that interference on the part OF
outside parties who had no au-
thority, prevented their working
to the best advantage.
The fire started in the build
ing used by Ed. Haden, colored,
for cleaning and pressing clothes.
He had helper named Tom
Ramsey. who was in the building
alone at the time OF the fire. Ram
sey has but one leg and his first
account of the accident was,
that he fell with lamp but later
told other versions and it is gen
orally believed that he was filling
the gasoline stove while the burn
er was lighted and perhaps fell,
enveloping the entire room in
flames He was severely burned
before he could make his escape.
Haden had valuable bird dog
tied in the room and was badly
burned in TRYING to rescue the
animal. He counts this as his
greatest loss.
LtttI Il = n
started was the east one of the
three shacks built together and
it is surprising that the fire de
partment was able to confine the
flames to the building where they
started Some damage was done
to the brick building owned by
Gilbert Sheesley for blacksmith
. shop, the upper story of which he
lives in.
Comments were heard on every
side as to the need OF better fire
protection in Alamosa. Frame
shacks are found in the business
section almost abutting valuable
brick blocks and no effort is made
apparently to have them removed
Some day these shacks will catch
fire in the night when a strong
wind is blowing and business
section will be wiped out which
will take years to replace. The
insurance companies are re-rating
the town and it is understood
that the present rates have been
increased.
Antonito brought up the ban
ner delegation to the Republican
convention Wednesday. \ spec
jai train was run and it came in
crowded. This is the first time
in years if ever, that conven-
ton was held in Alamosa and it
proved quite a novelty to the men
who have been representatives of
the party from year to year. An
tonito sold 19S tickets while Ro-
meo and La Jara had about fifty
each.
What with forest fires in Wis
consin and mine disasters all over
the country, it looks like the
census was taken in the right tint
for getting the largest number of
citizens.
Frank Hartman went to Moi
fat Thursday morning OF look af
ter his paper there. Frank says
that it is not all a bed of roses
trying to get out two papers but
from the way he is looking after
the interests of the contract hold
ers in the Moffat section it looks
like his paper is the right one
for the field.
