UNDERGRADUATE.
COACHING FOR OXY
Ernest Wieman of Class of 1911
Will Direct Gridiron Work
This Season
BIG BOY WILL NOT PLAY
Professionalism of Star Player
Will Handicap Highland
Park Eleven

The question as to whether a coach
from the ranks of the college student
body can develop football eleven OF
the caliber of the teams of the past
under the imported coach system will
be decided this year when a thorough
test of the idea is made on the Occi-
dental college gridiron in the prepara-
lions for the season of 1910, and Err
nest Wieman of the senior class and
one of the star fullbacks of the
Southern California football world of
last year, will take the helm OF the
Highland Park schools pigskin work.
Wieman has made an enviable rec
ord for himself during his academic
and collegiate training at Occidental
and has been the chief rival of Fred
Thomson in the point-winning in the
various fields of athletic activity.
Every position on the football squad
has been his during some time of his
gridiron experience, so that he Is emil
nently fitted to instruct the new ma
terial from the high schools and whip
the veterans into shape for the sea-
sons contests.
One of the drawbacks Of the new
system, however, is the professional
izing of Wieman, as under the rules
of the conference colleges he will not
be allowed to play on the Presbyterian
line this fall or enter track and base
ball as he has heretofore. 1t is a mat
ter of doubt whether the combination
of the loss of the big fellow and the
adoption of the new idea will work
well this year. Time will tell.
Wieman has all the necessary quail
flcations for the position and is ca
pabie of handling the men. The sue
cess or failure of this innovation in
the realms of Southern California pig
skin chasing will mean it's adoption or
discard by the schools OF the south.
There is not one Of the local institu-
day of it's success, and Wieman has
the wishing of the whole local
fandom to accompany him on his new
venture.
The football schedule for the season
of 1910 follows:
October 1-Oxy and Pomona fresh
men, at Claremont.

FINALE To RACING WILL
NOT TROUBLE JOCKEYS
Seasons Close Will Find Horse
men Preparing for Next
Years Campaign

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-The end of
racing for the season in this state, on
August 81 at Saratoga Springs, will not
bring about any lessening of the activ-
ity of the jockey clubs recently organ
lied bureau for improving the breed
ing of horses. The movement in Or
ganization was not merely commercial
and the work will go on as though the
turf in this part of the country were
in the height of it's prosperity.
The breeding bureau of the jockey
club has forty-seven stations located
in various parts of New York state,
and the breeding and individuality of
these are of the best. Many of the
stations were donated for this purpose
when their services would have de-
manded and brought rich returns to
their former owners but personal gain
was passed over in the desire to bring
into the breeding of the state blood
that was sure to be beneficial.

.EASTERNERS NEGLECT
RAILWAY CASE ACTION
Briefs Not Filed on Time in Suit
of Government Against
Southern Pacific

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 15.-Attor-
neys representing approximately 5000
persons who sought to intervene in the
suit of the United States government
against the Southern Pacific company,
in the interest of the oregon & Cali
fornia Railroad company, did not file
their brief in the United States circuit
court today. The time limit for them
to do so expired at o'clock this after
noon.
In this suit the government seeks to
secure the cancellation of patents to
what are known as the "Old Oregon
California land grants" which COM
prise several million acres of land in
western Oregon, estimated to be worth
about 100000.
While the failure of the interveners
to file a brief has no actual effect as
to their standing IT. court it places
them at a great disadvantage.
Most of these interveners are east
erners, and it is asserted that they
have fixed fees ranging from 500 to
$3.50 each to have their cases cared for.

DOC WHITE HAS COAT Of
AMERICAN LEAGUE STAR
Ty Cobb Acknowledges Only One
Hoodoo, and White Is
the Man

CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-"Tyrus Cobb is
the one mauling batSman of them ALL"
says Billy Sullivan, the White Sox
catcher, land he is one of the few left
handed batsmen who can sting the
portside pitchers just as hard as the
right-handed hurlers. You never know
what's coming when Cobb is at the
plate. Something is going to happen,
and about the best thing you can do
is to hope that Cobb's hit won't be
longer than two bases.
I'm all the world of baseball there
seems to be only one man who has
Cobb under full control, and that man
is G. Harris White, the White Sox
pitcher. Why's and wherefores cannot
be explained. Nobody knows how or
why it is but DR.. White has the high
sign on Tyrus.
IF Doc White could be famed out,
just sent around the circuit and only
used to pitch against Detroit, / doubt
if Cobb would bat 1913.
1.-THE mystery Of Whites buffalo over
Tyrus Cobb is something that l can
not solve any more than Cobb can, and
I have been catching White for many
years. But the story is always the
same-when Doc pitches the Tigers
might as well have a cigar sign on
the batting list as Cobb. Jennings. of
course, would never humiliate the
naughty southerner by taking MIN out
of the game, but I think Cobb would
welcome a layoff on the days when
Doc pitches, while the Tiger team
would be far stronger with a substi-
tute on these occasions.
Thine and again, when Doc is send
ing in the curves, poor Ty comes up
and does his best. He fans madly;
he swings in and out, up and down; he
tries to bunt: he tries to kill the ball
Nothing doing. White simply sends
them right along and Tyrus fans.

struck Cobb out three times in a single
afternoon, and he seldom fails to get
him twice. II Cobb makes a hit Off

bewildered when he does 1t. 1t was

came up from Augusta that Cobb was

PLAYER IS
IN FINE FETTLE
Maurice Mclaughlin Says He
Does Not Train for Play
ing as Others DO

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-"I've never
really trained to play tennis the way
most people expect a fellow to work
for an athletic event" said Maurice
Mclaughlin, the 20-year-old Callfor-
mia star, the other day. There has
never been a time that felt that hard
training was necessary. l don't do
any particular work for the contests
1 am engaging in, and so far 1 have
never been out of condition in the least.
Tennis, If you play enough of it, keeps
a chap in fine shape all the time.
"Most athletes diet to a considerable
extent, but l have never been a be-
lever in dieting and always eat any
thing that 1 fancy. However, there
are times that tennis player should
be careful not to eat improper food,
for then he is sure to become ill when
jumping about the court"
At II years of age Mclaughlin won
his first championship, when he cap
tured the Pacific coast title; the next
year he was defeated, and last year
failed to enter. the tournament.
when 1 first took up the game I
was attending high school in Frisco,
but at no time did the school encour-
age my tennis" said Mclaughlin. 81
worked the whole thing out for my
self, and finding that I was a natural
player 1 decided to try for the cham
pionship."
McLoughlin's forearm is well de-
veloped and the long, smooth muscles
contract and relax without a visible
hitch. Mclaughlin says that they are
strong and pliable enough without his
doing any special exercises to strength
en- them.

ments 1 now have on hand I will re-
turn to the coast and attend the open

believe I will be a greatly improved
