r. t. c. WINS 10000 STAKE.
In Only One Heat Has Farm Horse
Failed to Lead Field.

Detroit, Sept. 21.-Continuing his IN
broken string of successes, Thomas w
Murphy's r T c won a hollow victory
in the Michigan $4,000 stake. the
feature of the Grand circuit card at the
Michigan state fair grounds. He took
the three heats just as he pleased.
Only one race furnished anything like
a real contest. After Moretta had
taken the first heat of the 2:15 pace,
Patrick Pointer, who had finished fifth
in the first round. developed the stay
ing qualities of the field and captured
the next three after hard stretch drives.
In the Michigan stake for 2:15 trot-
ters. Murphy allowed his rivals TO
make the pace in each heat until we'll
into the stretch. Then. trotting easily
and smoothly r. T. c. went to the
front and won without urging.
Gordon Tods made a game effort in
the second heat, leading almost to the
distance flag. but the farm graduate
was not to be denied. He forced Geers'
stallion to a break and the rest was
easy.
R r c. has now won five $40. 900
stakes this year. one $1,000 and in addi-
ton, one purse event. In only one heat
has he failed to lead his field to the
wire.
After Sunny Jim and Rollins had
each captured one heat in the 2:07 pace
the deciding heat went over until to-
morrow, it being too late to finish the
race before dark.

CHANGE SYSTEM Ar HASKELL
Football Players on Indian Team Must
Keen I'D Studies.


Lawrence. Kan, Sept. 21.-The foot
bali situation at the Haskell Institute
is being revolutioniZed. No longer can
it be said that no study requirements
are demanded of the Indian players.
At a mass meeting of the boys of the
school a new regime was started and
hereafter the football players will have
to keep up their studies the same as
players at all other schools.
Professor w. J. Burch, head of the
academic department. and Coach Bert
Kennedy, ex-- -ansas mentor, are put
ting the new system into practice and
are getting results. Every afternoon
Coach Kennedy is drilling a bunch of
so Indians on the Haskell gridiron and
the green men are learning to handle
the ball in great shape and each man
is keeping up his scholarship standing.
The team will be light and fast"
said Coach Kennedy. The weight
average probably will reach 1852 pounds,
but I viii have to depend upon speed
to get results. At present cannot tell
much about what kind of team will
have but within month 1 expect to
have machine working which will
win games"
The situation that the mentor faces
at the Indian school is a hard one, for
only five of last years regulars are on
the squad. The old men are Ischief,
center; Williams, tackle; LaRoque.
end; Grow, at half, and Tyah, quarter.
All of these men have had experience
in the game and are fast and heady
players Neavitt, last years fast quar-
terbaclS, will not be back in the game
this year but Coach Kennedy expects
to develop Tyah into a fast man for
the place.
This years schedule for the Indians
has not been completed but the games
that have been scheduled up to date
indicate some stiff contests. Already
on the list are Washburn, Tarkio, Rolla
School of Mines, and st. Louis univer-
sity. Ottawa. st. Marys and Oklahoma
are being considered for games.
