BASEBALL 5000
YEARS Ago

| The following story is contributed
| to the sporting editor of The Forum.
1t is an original and amusing nara
ton of a baseball game in Homer,
| inspired by story entitled Baseball
Used Fifty Years Ago, recently pub
lished in The Forum. and it's clever
ness makes it well worth reading:
Rolla, N. D., Nov. Ito The For
UNI: Baseball Used Fifty Years Ago
in The Forum reminds me of an up-
to-date baseball game recorded lin
Homer's odyssey. My Greek text is
at Cannon Ball so can't give the book
and lines where the game is described.
1t is a game played by young ladies
-Nasica, the princess and her friends.
Nasica takes the box as pitcher. she
does not throw straight Gust like girls
now so the ball goes past the bat
The catcher fails, and so the ball goes
blowing into pool of water.
Then the girls all scream Gust like
girls now. The screams awaken
Odessus, who is sleeping in the grove
near by, and he energies from the for
est, whereupon Nasica's friends all run
Gust like girls now when they see a
strange MANI but Nasica does not run.
because the previous night she had
dreamed of seeing a strange man who
was to be her future husband. What
girl would run then as now under
such circumstances? The princess
invites him to her fathers house.
Then Homer naiyely describes the
mother of the princess sitting by tho
Preside knitting with half an eye on
the knitting work and an eye and a
half on the prospective sutton.
Surely there is not much new under
the sun except more strenuous rulec
and reduced scores.

Mich. CAPTAIN
PREDICTS VICTORY

Ann Arbor, Mich, Nov. 17-Confi-
dence in their ability to win from Min
nesota was the predominating senti-
ment expressed by Captain Benbrook
and other members of the Michigan
football eleven when forced by more
than 1000 enthusiastic undergraduates
to make speeches" on their return
from Philadelphia.
I'VE outplayed Penn and we can
outplay Minnesota just as easily" said
Captain Benbrook. "Our fumbles in
the Penn game were costly and pre-
vented us from scoring decisive vic
tory. We shall work hard this week
frying to get away from that weakness
and if we succeed there ought to
be nothing to it,
Inasmuch as it has been admitted
generally that Michigan outplayed the
Quakers, the tie score is being con-
sidered here as victory for Michigan,
and the students showed their appre-
citation by the turnout to welcome the
team.
The members of the eleven all are
in good condition and no changes in
the lineup will be made this week, ex-
cept the one necessitated by the in
eligibility Of Cole to play against Min
nesota. The big tackle was the star of
the wolverine eleven against Penn,
and he viii be sorely missed on Sat.
urday.
Yost Is planning to use Edmunds at
tackle, his old position, and give Bor-
leSke, who was derrickea 7earIier. in the
season to make room for a heavier
end, an opportunity to show at left
end. Coach Yost did not accompany
the team home, having made flying
trip to New York.

NOT MANY deer
IN NORTH DAKOTA
REPORTS OF NIMRoDs INDICATE
SCARCITY OF THE GAME
ON MISSOURI SLOPE.

Bismarck, N. D.. Nov. 1j.-Accord-
ing to the reports that are coming
in from the various hunting parties
that have been out in the quest OF
deer, those animals are rather scarce
In the vicinity Of the city this year
The absence seems strange as many
predicted that the high water of the
spring drove number of them into
this community
There were number of hunting
parties out Sunday in the vicinity of
Sibley island and along the river, but
not a single deer has been reported
as having been caught.
1t was stated that one party which
went down to Sibley island took a.
rest and one of the members went
ahead to take a stand The other
three members sat down to give their
partner few moments start before
they made the drive. They seated
themselves on a log and were telling
stories to kill time. In the meantime
the other hunter had picked out a.
suitable tree for a stand and was In
the act of shining" UP when he
scared up three large deer. The ami
mails sped away before he could Sc
cure his rifle and sprang back over
the trail he had just traversed The
other three hunters were still telling
stories when the frightened deer ran
almost into them. The nimrods were
so taken by surprise that they could
only cape at the quarry and let it
race out of sight and shooting dis
lance. They finally recovered from
their shock and sent several volleys
after the tleeting animals but without
result, The next time they go out
hunting 1t is understood that they win
refrain from telling stories and will
instead occupy various points Of van
tage and keep their eyes peeled" for
any game that may ramble into sight.
