sion the morning of December 20 last,
Ortie E. ,feNIanisal promptly pointed
to the %pictrr~ of himself standing be-
meath a palm tree in the rear of the
CROWD, -substantiating his confession
that he was in Los Angeles at that
tins, and that he came to this city to
dynamite the Llewellyn Iron VI rlss.
Later several other persons identified
the picture.
District Attorney Fredericks regards
this as the most important evidence
unearthed since McManigal was
brought here. Heretofore the only evil
dence of his presence here was that
afforded by his own confession and a
fake name on a hotel register which he
said he wrote. AS there were a hun
bred or more people in the excursion
party which was photographed it is
believed a number will be found who
win remember McManigal. He says he
talked with several men on the trip
The guide, conductor and motorman
have been located already. The dis
coveTy OF the picture is admitted to oe
a hard blow to the defense.
It is believed the defense will not try
to break down the McManieal confess
sion, but will try to show the NJ

which Mechanical has confessed.

Navy Leader Will
Not Play Tomorrow

ANNAPOLIS. Nd, Oct 6.-The heavi-
est lineup of the season was that which
the Naval Academy team presented dur
ing the practice Of yesterday afternoon,
there being no less than three men on
the line who weighed 2O0 pounds or
more. Big Brown, who won such a
fine reputation at guard last season,
has not been in prime shape this year.
and has been kept out of the lineup
but this afternoon he was allowed 20
stay through the practice, and was ap-
parently in fine fettle. He weighs about
30. His classmate, Howe, who Is be-
ing played at right guard, weighs about
the same, and Elmer Is an even 209
pounds. Brown will probably play at
left tackle
Captain Dalton has an attack Of ton
silitis, and Will not be in the game
against Johns Hopkins tomorrow, &C
cording to the probabilities. Rodes has
been moved from fullback to left half.
and his position has been taken By Col
Inns, fourth classman. SoweH is play
ing quarter, as he lid last year, while
McReavey. a 190-pound six-footer, Is
at right half. The baSkfield II notable
and rugged, and every member can
stand a lot Of hard work.
No effort will be made to run up a
big score on Hopkins. The coaches will
be content with any kind of a victory.
and will use as many men as possible.

somebody didn't tackle him occasion
ally. Though Munns, the young sopho-

bination in Champaign and Delano, he

through occasionally. Williamson and
Hale also did good work in holding
their men.
Mccormick, who reported the other
day, was. tried out with a quartet of

Carlisle Players Meet
With First Injuries

CARLISLE. Pa. Oct. 6.-Prior to the
past week the Carlisle Indian football
team has been. unusually fortunate in
not having players out Of practice by
reason of the usually frequent early
season hurts. but during the last few
days a number of minor injuries have
kept many regulars from the daily
scTimmages. The Dickinson game
materially helped Coach Warner in
getting a line on his men, and quite
a number of weak points were de-
veloped at the Indian game. Coach
Warmers problem now Is how to ar
range his line to make II strongest with
the material in hand. Much expert
menting has been done and the line
shifted frequently during the week. The
permanent arrangement is still un-
settled and there are several shakeups
likely before the final arrangement
prevails.
The unexpected arrival of Jordan, last
years left end, gives another valuable
candidate for guard or tackle. Roberts
and Large show up well at left end.
but the former may be shifted to tackle
in case Large continues to improve.
This would allow Lonestar to go from
tackle TO guard, and thus strengthen
the center which is Carhsle's weak
spot.
