TRICK
SCARED POWERS
Strange Man in Strange
Town Had a Dime Mu-
scum Habit

AL Powers tJack Downs, who
was in his day and who still
Is a mighty clever wrestler. has come
forward with a story that is worth
while. The affair happened at q town
not more than a million miles from
Grand Forks.
Here Is the yarn:
There is q certain man in a town
near this city who has about the
strangest ability OF any one / have
ever seen. He is a fit subject for Il
museum and old r. r. Barnum would
have thought he had a prize If he
could see the performances this man
gives. He has a remarkable ability of
actually dislocating his arms. shout
ders and even his neck. How he does
1t is more than I know. but he does.
1.-TWO Of the boys who are with me
put on q wrestling match In the town
where this man lives about two weeks
ago and following the sport program
we were invited to a little spread.
There was n other local man, my
friend Of the side show abilities, and
We wrestlers. While We we're eating
and talking over various matters, this
neck back in shape. will you?' I
looked at him and sure enough his
head was hunched down over his
shoulders.
Il have run into a number of acct
dents On a wrestling mat, but never
a dislocated. neck. l will admit that
! was scared. 1t wasn't so bad when
he stood up and kicked his hip put of
joint or twisted his arm backwards,
but when he gave his head a jerk he
had my Angora by the chin whiskers.
Thinking it a good joke he con-
tinued with the trick and finally his
head refused to go hack. Remember.
there We're we three wrestlers in a
strange town and that man there with
a dislocated neck. l pictured myself
before the grand jury and half a doz-
en- other things before he finally told
me how to push his head back into
position. No. thanks. hereafter when
any sideshow stunts like hat are be-
ing pulled off I want to feel that I
have paid my ten cents at the door
and I want to be on the other side
of the SPECTATORS rope.n

AN ALL-AMERICAN

Minneapolis. Dec. 4.-For the first
time since he has been Coach al the
University of Minnesota. DIR. II. L.
Williams has picked an all-American
team. Outside Of naming the men
for the 1911 team. DR.. Williams only
says he believed 1t more representative
of American football than a great
many other selections.
Three Minnesota players are placed
on the team. Captain Earl Pickering
who was barred from the game with
the University of Wisconsin because Of
alleged professionalism. not being Civ
en- a place. The team as chosen by
DIR. Williams is as follows:
Right end. Wells. Michigan; right
tackle. Frank. Minnesota: right guard.
Robinson. Minnesota: center. Sibert.
West Point: left guard. Waterman.
Annapolis: left tackle. Hart. Prince
ton: left end. White. Princeton: quar-
terback. Howe, Yale: left half back.
Rosenwald. Minnesota: right half
back, Wendell. Harvard: full back.
Philbin, Yale.
Members of the Minnesota team will

WOMEN FANS ARE
APT TO LOSE OUT

New Haven. Conn. Dec. 4.-owing
to the excessive demands for tickets
this year to the Harvard and Prince
ton football games. the Yale football
ticket management will Immediately
take up the question Of future ticket
distribution. in order to avoid the dis
appointment Of applicants and other
complications.
1t is almost certain that a plan will
he adopted allowing direct application
for only one ticket. applications for
additional tickets being conditional
and contingent.
Under this system applicants,
graduates or undergraduates would be
assured of n ticket and take their
chances for others. and also the
chance Of obtaining grouped seats of
two or more. The effect Of this will
probably be the exclusion of a large
proportion of women from the games.
The plan. II adopted. will apply to
both the Harvard and Princeton
Games. and 1t is believed in the mat
ter that the Princeton and Harvard
ticket arrangements will adopt the
same scheme. In connection with
ticket distribution 1t is also likely that
the socalled favored. list will be cut
down.

for the foreign teams to be stronger

that we must take no chances.
