SCHOOL ELEVENS READY NEW PLAN AT COLUMBIA
Students to Have No Voice in
Naming Team Managers.

1t was announced at Columbia Uni
Verslty yesterday that hereafter managers
of athletic teams will be elected by a
committee TO be known as the Columbia
University athletic managers election
committee, and that the Undergraduate
body rs a whole will have no voice in the
naming OF candidates for any managerial
position. Heretofore all managers have
been elected at general mass meetings OF
the student body. and more than once
campus politics has decided the elections.
BY the new system this will be done away
with, and managers Will be elected wholly
for reasons Of merit
The constitution adopted TO govern the
new committee provides that II shall be
composed OF seven members. including
the graduate director OF athletics, the
chairman or the university committee on
athletics and the managers OF the crew,
the track. the baseball, the basketball
and some particular one OF the minor
sports
The most important change. however,
will be that this committee will have the
authority 10 make elections % all man
agerships and assistant managerships OF
both varsity and freshman teams. and
even to remove any Of the various team
captains, though the latter power can
only be exercised by a fve-sevenths vote
OF the entire committee.
An entirely now provision Is made with
reference 10 the assignment OF the various
candidates FOR managerships 20 the re-
speCtlye teams When a candidate begins
20 work for one Of these positions. he IL
required 10 MI out a blank, which gives.
in addition 10 other data his order OF
preference with respect 70 the various
teams. Assignment OF the men Is made
weekly by the graduate directors TO those
teams which in his estimation need men,
and the final elections by the committee
In May are based on the amount OF work
done by the candidate for all teams dur
ing the year
In the final election the Candidates
order OF preference is 10 he adhered 10 in
so far as Is possible. Another feature OF
the new system is TO be the weekly re-
ports on all candidates work. which will
be submitted 10 the graduate director by
each OF the respective managers.
The new scheme works direct sys-
tematization OF the old arrangements,
whereby man worked only during that
part Of the year I'm which his particular
sport held sway, and. in addition does
sued during the past of having the man
agerships filled by a membership vote OF
the athletic association.

squad through final hard practice yes
terday, on Ohio Field, in preparation for
the game this afternoon with Trinity
College, at University Height. 1t IS ex-
pected that the team will be hard hit
by the scholarship reports that are to
be turned in this morning. and several
new mensmay be seen i'm the lineup.
The practice lasted until long after dark,
and the men were pretty well tired out
when it was over. Only half an hour
was devoted to scrimmage, but the squad
was kept at work on a long signal drill
and running down punts.
In the scrimmage the backheld showed
marked improvement in getting under
way. In the last game with Williams
the chief defect lay in the fact that the
backs were tackled before fairly started,

New Orleans, Nov AID Wolgast,

narrow escape from decisive defeat at
the hands OF Joe Mandot, the local
pugllist, IN one OF the most sensational
ten-round boxing contests ever seen in
this city. Both men were badly used up
at the end.
While expert opinion was largely in
favor OF declaring the bout draw, the
greater number Of the spectators were
loud in their declaration that Mandot had
won, and won easily. on the whole, how
ever, there was little to choose, although
Wolgast was knocked fat from a right
hand punch on the jaw in the ninth round.
He leaped up and rushed In, forcing the
fight.

done him little good and while he was

Annapolis Md, Nov. 4-Football prac-
tice at the Naval Academy did not start
until twilight this evening, owing TO a
long infantry drill. which occupied prac-
tically the whole Of the afternoon. The
members of the squad were given Just
enough work TO timber them up, but
there was no lineup or signal drill.
There is some encouragement over the
showing Of the team on Friday against
Western Reserve, and during the prac-
tlce of the week, but II is admitted that
the team must improve greatly before
meeting the Army eleven on Novem-
Der 30.
The backfield has not been decided. and
there are at least three places on the
line which may be regarded as unsettled.

unsatisfactory work at guard for some
time and may be replaced by Woodward

The weight of the players taken within

the team is not quite as heavy as thought.
The average Of the team, as It would
probably be selected at present 20 oppose

averages 1S3 II pounds. and the back

alter these figures. There are two mem

TO TUNNEL UNDER CHANNEL
Long-Deiayed Franco-EneIish Project
Is Once More Being Put
Forward.

tunnel between England and
France beneath the English channel
was first proposed at the beginning
of the nineteenth century by Matthew,
a French mining engineer, says the
Argonaut. Fifty years later the
scheme was financed, but 1t was not
until 1857 that it seemed that the
project would be actually attempted.
At that time there were a dozen or
more plans for rail communication
between the two countries. The ac-
cepted scheme was that of tunnel
bored beneath the bed of the channel
The estimated cost of the undertake
ing was about G10,000,000 Prelimi-
nary boring had been made, when the
work was interrupted by the Franco
Prussian war. In 1874 the French
and English governments resumed ne
gotiations concerning the tunnel,
leaving the matter in the hands of
joint commission. Failure on the
part of the English company holding
the contract for the work to receive
sufficient funds resulted in the fail
ure of the enterprise in 1880. Now
the project Is receiving some atten-
ton, better feeling having been es-
tablished between the people of the
two countries

HUNTER ACCIDENTALLY SHOT
Was Using Gun to Club Way Through
Grass When it Was Discharged.

Western Newspa~ err Union News Service.
Little Rock.-Carelessness in hand
ling gun was the cause of the serious
and painful wounding of j. C. Busby,
of Slate, Ark.
Mr.. Busby was out duck hunting
with party of friends and was alone
in boat some distance from his COM
panions when he endeavored to force
his way through the grass in the lake
by taking the muzzle of his gun and
beating the grass aside. The accident
happened when the trigger struck an
object and was discharged. The shot
skinned through the right hand, tore
away the flesh from the palm, and con-
tinuing upward. laeerated the fore
arm.
Companions Of the injured man paid
no heed to the sound of gunshots, as
all had been shooting at frequent in
teryals, according to their story, more
than an hour passed before they heard
Busby's cries for help and found him
lying unconscious in a pool of water.
A tourniquet was applied to the wound
ed arm and the unconscious man car
ried to a nearby farm house where a
wagon was procured and 1t was three
hours later that the injured man re-
ceived medical attention at the city
hospital of this city.
