THE FOOTBALL CAMPS

was announced that Pogue, the bril-
liant quarter back, had no broken
bones and would probably be able
to play against Purdue next week.
The Illini could figure no hope at
all against the boiler-makers with the
star quarter out. Pogue watched prac-
tice in his street clothes. Johnny
Silkman's return to condition also
pleased the rooters. Silkman was
placed at quarterback on the varsity,
where he showed well.
Badgers.
Madison, Wis, Nov. 5.-Secret prac-
tice continues to be the daily program

Lincoln. Neb., Nov. 1.-THE contro-
versy with Kansas university over the
playing of Clinton Ross, the Nebraska
negro guard, in the Nebraska Kansas
football game Nov. 10, is closed so
far as Nebraska university is concern
ed. Yesterday a special meeting of the
athletic board was held, at which a
resolution was passed permitting Ross
to play. The action was taken in &C.
cordance with an ultimatum by Chan
cellor Avery last week, in which the
official refused to permit the color
line to be drawn.

Bloomington, Ind, Nov. 5.-With
Iowa looming up as strong opponent
for next Saturday. the Indiana teams
practice was heightened last evening
by use of the arc lights and ghost"
ball. Last night the freshmen used
the Iowa formations against the vars
ity, some plays resulting in good gains.
Captain Davis will not be able to take
part in the Hawkeyes' contest, but
will be saved for the last game ON
the schedule with Purdue.
Notre Dame.
Notre Dame, Ind, Nov. 5.-'Tame
practice" in the most harmless form
made its appearance on the Notre
Dame gridiron yesterday in the gold
and blues last workout before leav-
ing for Penn State today. The fresh
men, after surviving a rugged fight
with the strong second team, were
sent in against the varsity, using the
same line of attack that shot the Army
to pieces. The regulars completely
swept the yearlings off their feet.
Notre Dame football fans are anxious
for post-season game with Chicago
Yale.
New Haven, Conn, Nov. 5.-Yales
football practice will be strictly secret
all of this week while the coaches
are trying to remedy the serious de-
fects developed in the defeat by Col
gate last week. Head Coach Jones
has many problems to harrass him,
the chief of which is the selection of a
quarterback to fill the vacancy left
by ,Cornish's retirement because of in
juries. Nate" Wheeler, the intercol-
legiate golf champion, was believed
yesterday to be the likely choice of
the coaches.

FOR US. SUPREME COURT
Federal Judge SuspendS All
Proceedings Until Hearing on
ExtraditiOn by Felker.
BENCH REBUKES JEROME
Hints in Informal Discussion
That the Prisoner Is Held
Illegally for Crime if He
Is Still Insane.

ft,r,,, o staef Co-respondent OF The Tribune
Iittleton, y. H.. Sept. l6.-Harry n
Thaw and his lawyers were jubilant 10
night over the result Of the discussion OF
the habeas corpus writ before Judge Eu-
gar Aldrlch. Of the United states Dlstrlct
Court. to-day First they were delighted
a. the way the court administered re-
buke TO William Travers Jerome when ne
attempted TO raise the issue that they
had taken the writ ont in bad faith. Sec
ond. the request was granted for sus-
pension of the proceedings until Governor
Felker had disposed of the question OF eX-
tradition. and third. they took the stand
that the court had practically laid down
the rule that Governor Felker's action on
The application for Thaw's eXtradiuon'
should II be adverse 10 Thaw. could be re-
vcrsed by the operation Of the federal
writ But they were particularly pleased
because in their Interpretation of the
iudee's remarks he himself had raised the
question as TO whether il were possible
for New York State to charge an insane
man with a crime and extradited him.
When the Governor passes on the mat
ter OF Thaw's cXtradition at the hearing
findings il adverse TO Thaw, will be re-
viewed by the United States District
Court. and should the decision be against
him successive appeals will be taken. his
lawyers say. until the case reaches the
United States Supreme Court
I'm the Informal discussion from the
bench with MIR. Jerome after he had
handed down his opinion granting sus-
pension Judge Aldrich said:
- he novelty of the question arises from
the fact that il was started at the IN
stisation Of tine New York authorities un-
der a process against Thaw as an insane
man. and the fact of criminality, ac-
cording to their own account of 1t and
their description of 1t. is his escape from
an insane institution.
Whether that is a crime. whether in New
York with such an insane person they
are in position 10 set UP his escape as a
crime within the meaning of the federal
law and Constitution the state consti-
tuition. Is question.
II YOU have come to any conclusion on
such a question YOU have done better than

Merrill Shurtleff, of Thaw's counsel.
asked for a postponement of the hearing,
SIR. Jerome ut once rose and interposed
an objection.
Il believe" said Mr.. Jerome, that an
examination of the return on the writ
will show that the questions raised in
the application are frivolous and were
merely for the purpose OF delay"
IF you seriously maintain IL IS fcu-
t!ous OF for an improper purpose" the
Judge said. >"I will have 10 hear il. but
unless you have pretty strong case !
advise you to save yourself the trouble.
Before Mr.. Jerome could answer George

said 1--WE have been charged with bad
