Just before Prof. Andrews started
on his scouting expedition after the
Corean tiger, the writer asked him
what he feared most in venturing into
a totally unknown, unexplored region.
Was it fever, or accident or hostile
natives, or all those things combined?
'"The only thing ever worry
about" replied Prof Andrews, SIS
whether 1 will get enough to eat or
not. On an expedition where you are
travelling alone with just the smallest
number of servants and going into
region that you know nothing about,
you can take only limited amount of
food. For the rest you have to reIy on
the country.
"If you can't kill enough game or
catch enough fish, or find food in some
way, you're. going to starve. If you
have plenty to eat, you needn't worry
about anything else. Broken legs,
sickness, hostile natives and so on
will come your way if it's down in the
books that they're going to. But, no
matter what else happens, you abso-
iutely must have plenty of grub If
you don't, then you've got something
big to worry about"

Of Java, the Moluccas OF the Carolines,
he is always meeting some other
white man. Stefansson and Ander-
son encountered lone men of the
Royal Mounted Police north of the
most northerly forts of the Hudson's
Bay company.
So it is that on every world end
steamer they are likely to find some
one they know or who knows some
one they have met. Therefore. lone

set foot across the threshold of civil

up the threads of gossip and adj
venture of others just where they
dropped them two or three or five

STRENUOUS JOB
TO DEVELOP TEAM
--.
Coaches Working Men Hard
in Preparation For the
Initial Game.
(By Tudor Owen.

With only two more days Of real
practice before the footboll team
leaves for Hamline, the U. N. ID.
coaches are working hard to develop
a good backfield. The game will he
played next Saturday afternoon, but
the team must leave here Friday
noon.
There is. an abundance of material
for the line but Coach Vehmeier Is
undecided as to who to play behind
the line. Lynch, who has been work.
Ing at fullback part Of the time this
fall vas switched to a tackle position
yesterday afternoon inc will probably
stay at that place II a new man can
he developed for the back1eld. Lynch
nad his shoulder bruised during the
first week Of scrimmage and as a re-
suit has been unable to, work very
much. He is a fearless player and
will undoubtedly make the trip with
the team Friday. John Moore has
practtced at that position considerably
this fall and Bulb Williams is also a
likely man for the place.
Lowe Going Some.
Lowe, the new man from Kenmare,
work at right half is n Of the
strongest contenders for a beckfield
Job and he will probably be selected
to go to Hamline. Lowe picks the
holes in the opponents line in great
style and is one Of the fastest men
on the squad.
Yesterday afternoon there We're
two sets of backfeld men tried out,
and although they worked we'll, Coach
Fehmeier is far from satisfied with
the playing. The men have been do
ing fairly good work he claims, but
will have to do much more before
they will be in trim for a hard game.
The members of the squad who do
not obey the training rules will find
considerable difficulty in keeping up
under the stiff workouts.
Candidates Active.
Dahl. Russell and Flint are three
other candidates for halfback posi-
tions and all three are fast men.
With some shifting Of these men the
backfeld may be strengthened to a
great extent.
Batten, Pinkham and Bacon are all
after the quparter's Job and they are
fighting hard to make the first squad.

he keeps up his good work will land

Compare the Two.
A little comparison between the Col
Inns crew and the Stahl suhalterns is
not amiss at this time. 1t is a cinch
that both teams were pippins, and" the
pick of the league in both instances,
measured on the strength Of team
work and a nine-man hitch, and it
seems as If both Bostonese and bur-
~den-bearers were about on a par.
However, that's a matter for individ-
+ual consideration.

So. on the score Of just appraisal,
it is hard to see where the baseball

banner home to Boston in 1903 had
to tip n stetsons to this years crew.
