OLD BELDEN HILL
BACK IN HARNESS
Will Again Pilot Cedar Rapids
at Fans Request-Jack
Herbert Out.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Nov. Bel
den Hill and not Jack Herbert will
be manager of the 1914 Rabbits. This
announcement, which will be received
with joy and acclaim by all the Bunny
boosters and which also will be well
coined throughout the entire league,
was made late yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Hill has given Herbert his un-
conditional release and has promised
to assume the leader ship of the local
baseball craft foe at least one more
season. The cause of this action is
the result of the strenuous opposition
by directors of the Cedar Rapids club
to Mr.. Hills proposed REIMBURSEMENT
of the managerial reins. The direc-
tors threatened all sorts of dire things
if he refused to reconsider his an
nouncement that he would not be so
active next season.
Although the Bennies lost three val
liable men by way of the draft route,
Pitchers Brown and Hawkins and Out
fielder Milligan, there is still mighty
fine nucleus on the reserve list and
Manager Hill announced that he has

Spider" is one of the lightest men
on the team, tipping the beam at a

which he has installed in the squad,
has gone far towards winning victor
les this season. One week ago, when
pete" Larkin resigned the captaincy.
Whistler was the unanimous choice of
the varsity, an honor to which he was
justly entitled.
His line-plunging ability is known
throughout the state, and teams that
have opposed Rock Island all cherish
wholesome respect for him.
He is a hard, sure tackler and has
proven a tower of strength for the
secondary defense. Time after time
in this seasons games, Whistler has
broken through and spilled plays BE-
fore they have fairly started. Owing
to the fact that the squad does not
play at fighting game when Whistler
is out of the lineup, and in many in
stances have shown signs of becoming
demoralized, the 1913 eleven has Of
times been designated a. a "one-man
team"
Whistler has played on r. l. II. s.

first two years as substitute quarter

shifted to left halfback and stuck.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Nov. 5.-AnS-

the parade.
The extent of the anti-conference
sentiment among the students was not
realized until the Daily arranged for
a ballot on the question this week
and from the noise the ants are max

against Michigan's return would be
overwhelming.

Chicago, Nov 5.-With games Of

Michigan and Cornell will clash at
Ithaca in one of the important inter

Ithacans met defeat last Saturday by

furnish an idea of the relative strength
parative score method.
Although Harvard appears to be
much stronger than Princeton. an in
teresting and close struggle is antic
ipated by those who have followed the
fortunes of both elevens this year.
The Crimson warriors have played con-
sistent football all season, and all
games have been won by decisive
ton as to the superiority of the Cam
bridge eleven over all the teams play
ed this year, and in each succeeding
struggle Harvard has shown marked
Improvement
TIGERS DEPEND UPON SPEED.
With one defeat chalked up against
them the Tigers have rallied. as was
shown by the big score piled up
against Holy Crossa last Saturday.
Princeton is lighter than ii has been
for several years. Speed is the factor
which the coaches are depending upon,
but it is hardly likely this football
essential win Offset the many advan-
tages in Harvard's favor.
The Crimson team is composed of a
number of veterans who have had
the experience of many hard fought
battles. The eleven has been deyel-
oped gradually. From the form dis
played this season Harvard should win
and step one notch nearer the eastern
title.
Michigan's rejuvenated eleven should
win from Cornell, and it is hoped
for western football that the Wolver-
ines Will defeat the Ithacans by a
larger score than Harvard. Last
Saturdays victory over Syracuse dem
onstrated that Yost has developed an
other of his characteristic machines,
which will improve with the playing
of each game.
The addition of Jimmy Craig to the
back field is one of the most import
ant factors in the improvement. This
player is without doubt one of the best
backs in the west, and his playing
against the New Workers last Satur-
day was the feature. AS none of the
players suffered serious injuries, Mich
igan should be fortified to put up a
great game against the Big Red
team.
