showing and redeem themselves from
the stigma of their first defeat.
J. III. Richie, sport editor of The
Minneapolis journal sizes up the situa-
ton at Minnesota and in other big
games as follows on the eve of .he
great battles:
With the passing of the world series,
football swings into almost complete
possession of the sporting field, While
the season is still I'm the practice game
stage of the work for the big teams the
struggles have advanced to a more SER
ious stage n upsets are liable to come
tomorrow. In the west, Minnesota
tackles Nebraska n the outcome of
the game is a problem for the Gopher
players, coaches n followers. All
things considered, Nebraska should
than has been the case for several
years, but the Gopher team, despite the
loss of Solem a week ago, has shown a
marked Improvement since the Ames
game and If Nebraska wins, it's players
will have to extend themselves to the
limit. Coach Stiehm reports today that
several of his men are out of condition
through injuries, but the material looks
heavy and the weight better distFibut-
ed throughout the squad than is usually
the case with Nebraska teams. Mime
sofa is going into the game with q
grim determination to night 1t out to
the last second M q corktng good
game should result. If Minnesota wins
from Nebraska 1t starts them upon the
big games for the conference title in
far better shape than a been thought
possible under the discouraging condi-
lions confronting the prayers and the
coach at the beginning OF the year.
Chicago plays Iowa on Marshall field
n the Maroons, If they are anything
like up to the form the press agents
have proclaimed, should win. Hawley
has been having a lot of trouble through
injuries and loss of f1rst string men
and the Hawkeyes are not generally
thought to be as strong as they were
last season.
Michigan has an engagement with
Ohio State and Yost should win rather
handily unless John Richards should
spring the Wisconsin style form of
protests against the Wolverines star
players late this afternoon.
Wisconsin e~ntertains Purdue at Madt-
son and the general opinion runs to
the effect that a Badger victory is GER
tain. The Badgers have the greatest
line of material of any of the confer
ence schools this year and If properly
coached will be about the hardest team
to beat in the big nine list this season.
Indiana and Illinois tang1e at Cham
paign with teams of apparently about
equal weight, speed ana general foot

probably determine the winner.
In the east, Yale tackles West Point
and the overthrow Of last season is
hardly expected again. Yale Is com
ing along in better shape this year and

Many Big Battles East and

North Dakota Sees the First
Real Scrap
Nebraska and Minnesota Fight

Football is king of the sporting
world today.
With few exceptions east and west,
today will witness the first really great
battles of the gridiron of the year.
Fargo, and in fact North Dakota, is
seeing its first genuine scrap of the
year with the A. c. and Mitchell. S. D,
teams fighting it out on Dacotah field.

SATISFIED with q defeat this season.
Harvard plays Amherst with Haugh-
tons patricians the general fayorites
for the day while princeton's chances
oyer Syracuse seem ~top-heayy. Penn
will have to play considerable football,
more than was the case against SWart-
more when the Philadelphians meet
Brown tomorrow, as Brown is said to
have quite q formidable team this year,
some of it's recruiting havtng extended
as far west as Minnesota, according to
the football gossip. The Navy team
ties up with Swarthmore, last Saturday
of Penn, and a lively game
will result with Swarthmore generally
favored on recount of the showing of
last week. The game of tomorrow will
settle, though, whether Penn's defeat
was due to Swarthmore strength or
Penn weakness. The remaining games
east and west are OF a minor nature
and interesting only to the parttzans
of the schools engaged.
Next week the schedules tighten all
around and the championship fights
may be said to be well unde way.

JACKSON YEARNS
FOR FARM LIFE
THE FAMOUS CLEVELAND BASE
BALL PLAYER WOULD PULL
BACK-TO-NATURE STUFF AND
TILL THE SOIL LIKE AN OLD
TIME COUNTRY GENTLEMAN.

Yep! Just as soon as l get my farm
paid for and well stocked l am going to
quit baseball" 1t was Joe Jackson
talking, Yes, the famous 10 Jackson
of shoeless note, the terror and the
bugaboo of pitchers, and the rival of
Ty Obj is tired of travelling around
and wants to settle down in peace and
quietude.
Il have been on the go ever since 1
was Is years old, and, although 1 en-
joy travelling with a crowd Of ball
players such as the Cleveland fellows
are, yet l detest city life and will only
that my wife and 1 can evade the
hustle and hustle of 1t all. Yes, sir, if
l had my ranch now 1 would quit the
game tomorrow"
Not NarrOw-MInded.
Now don-c mink that Joe is of the
narow-minded sort with a grudge
against the world, for he is not. Jack
son is as kind and thoughtful a fellow
as you would ever meet, possessing an
abundance of good nature and an ever
the popularity that is coming his way.
Yes, Joe is all right-wnat appeals to
one may not appeal to others-what Is
wine for one may be vinegar for some
one else. g..
You see, he was raised in the coun-
try. His home is in South Carolina.
Greenville is the place. 1t was while
growing up there that the deepest love
OF Lne country grew UP WIN MIN, ana
the outdoor enchantment still fingers
as strong as ever, so you can but inn
agine how he must feel in the whirly-
twirly city life.
1t was in Greenville Joe learned to
play ball. Joe's father was in the
butcher business-and Joe had
to drive the Wagon at times. You know
how it was yourself when you were
young-there is nothing like a game OF
bah to asoothe labor's aching pains-so
young joey took no chances with the
pains of toll.
His first team of any Importance
was the Greenyille Changers, a member
of the South Carolina State league.
1t Was while playing in this league
that the famous cognomeu of shoe
Less became attached to his person.
"ShoeIess" Explained.
IF was playing in Anderson, S. c.,
one day" explained joe, and 1t hap
pened that l played the day before In
a new pair of baseball shoes. You
know how ill-fittinG shoes will act at
times. Wei, this pair simply raised
the biggest blister you can imagine on
each heel SO When l put on the shoes
for the Anderson game / found / could
hardly walk with them on, much less
play ball. So the only thing for me
to do was to tax EN- on or die stand
ing up-rso / just naturally took 'em
off and played ball in my stocking feet.
Son fan in the bleachers with a4mega-
phone shouted with all his might: oh,
YOU shoeless wondern / guess every
baseball fan in the country heard him
for 1 have been called that ever since"

likes the new football rules, although
he admits they have not yet been
given enough OF q trial to determine
their true value.
'It may be said that every change
made had q veIy definite weakness
Of the game In mind" recently de-
clared Camp. land yet the altera-
tons are along conservative rather
than experimental lines. Moreover,
whether they hit exactly TIE points
desired, they are designed to be pro-
ductive Of further information rath-
er than Of complications. and 1t 10
certainly fair tc say that the rules
had become over-complicated and the

ANTIPODES TROTTING

A sample Australian trotting pro-
gramme for one day consists in the
following events: Novice unhoppIed
handicap, a mile and a half; handicap.
a mile and an eighth; mile handicap;
mile and an eighth handicap; unhop-
pied handicap, a mile and a half; two
mile handicap. All the handicapping Is
by distance, while the backmarker in
the two miles has sometimes an eighth
of a mile to give away. The New Zea-
land rules provide that there must be
at least n race a day for unhoppled
horses and an allotment or one-seventh
of the stakes given at the meeting. No
change has been made In trotting pro-
grammes in that country in fifty years.
The bill is always the same-mile
heats.

PAPERS ARE RUN FOR WOMEN
Writer In Atlantic Monthly Blames
This for the Deterioration Of
journalism.

During the past few years hum
dreds of journals have sprung up
devoted to women's special interests.
They are almost all of them snowy,
fragmentary, personal, concrete and
emotional. 1t is difficult TO find one
that represente general or abstract
interests. One Of these journals,
which boasts a fabulous circulation,
is supported by its women subscribe
ers and readers to oppose the larger
interests of women in education, in
dustry and political life. At least,
if it does not oppose these interests,
it does not aid them. Imagine a mil
lion German women sending the kai-
ser one dollar and a half a year to
induce him to tell them once a
month to 90 back to their kitchens,
churches and children.
The newspapers of America have
steadily changed during the last
three decades in the same direction
Editorial pages and news columns
have been steadily modified in the
direction of fragmentary, egotistic,
personal and sensational, or at least
emotional, appeals. These are the
qualities of children's minds, and of
undeveloped minds everywhere. The
change is, of course, all a part of the
larger democratic movement of our
time, and many causes have con-
tributed to bring it about. Had wom-
en- not been so active, something of
the same sort would have happened,
but if women were all to forget how
TO read over night, there is little
doubt that the newspapers would
find it advantageous to print more
statesmanlike editorials, and more
general and abstract news.-Atlantic
