MICHIGAN OUT OF
WESTERN CHAMPIONSHIP

Chicago, Oct. 29-Walter Eckersan,
one of the best football men that the
Western colleges have ever turned out,
foresees an easier settlement of grid
iron honors in the Middle West this
year. He says:
For the first time since 1905 Mich
igan cannot be considered contender
for premier honors. The Wolverines
defeat at the hands of the Michigan
Aggfes have eliminated Coach Yost's
eleven for the race. Like other in
stitutfons, Michigan is in the midst
of an athletic slump, but %Yost still
has time to develop a team which will
make things Interesting for Pennsy1-
vanian in the Wolverines big game
of the year at Ann Arbor on Nov. 10.
Nebraska, Notre Dame and the
Michigan Agricultural college are en-
titled to consideration this year when
the highest honor of the Western grid
iron season is awarded. The Corn
huslers already have shown their
strength by defeating Minnesota to
0. Notre Dame is represented by the
same eleven as last year, when the
team was acknowledge to be one of
the strongest in the West. The Ag-
gies' victories over Michigan and Wis
consfn place the eleven In the fore
most rank of championship contend
ers."

year Daubert has boosted his stick
credit to $50 and there is a possibility
that he may be the batting king in the
organization in which he plays.
In his first 123 games this year Dau-
bert procured 1e5 safeties, going hit
less only in 26 controversies In each
of the Sc games he made one hit; in
each of 81 two! in each of Ii, three,
and in each of 2, four. His largest af-
ternoons with the willow were on July
IA and Is. On the first named date he
secured four hits in four times at bat
off Pierce, Overall and Reulbach of
the Chicago Cubs, and on the late
named date he located Jimmy Law
ender, of the Cubs, for four smashess
batting against him five times
Daubert was hit at a -428 clip
against the Cardinals, and at .403
pace against the Phi1lies. The Cub
pitchers have yielded him an average
of $50, the Pittsburgh hurlers of .342,
the Red beavers of .339, the Boston
Gunners of .310, and the Giants artil-
1erists of .279.
Daubert has made only a dozen er-
rors this season and only once has he
committed two misp1ays in the same
contest. His biggest days work at the
frs corner was on April 20, when he
cared for twenty out of the twenty

WALTER CAMP IN
CHARGE OF SQUAD
Comes To Rescue After Others
Make Mess OF Yale
Football

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 2S-Walter
Camp, dean of Yale football, took &C
tive charge of the football squads
here yesterday afternoon. The show
ing of the New Haven collegians in
the last two games, especially in the
contest with the Washington and JEFF
ferson eleven last Saturday, was a
keen disappointment to the well wish
ers of the Ellis, and as q result of
conference and urgent calls for a
brace, Walter Camp took an active
part in the drilling of the men.
A sweeping change took place in
the makeup of the varsity squad.
Caldwell, who played centre in last
Saturdays game, was kept out of the
lineup and in his place Miller was
substituted. Besides the change in
centre the right side presented a diff
ferent appearance from that of other
practice days.
New formations were tried out. The
scrimmage was satisfactory to the
coaches, as the new plays seemed to
work with success. Two touchdoWns
were scored by the varsity.
Besides being assisted by Head
Coach Jones and the resident coaches,
Camp had Burr Chamberlain and Ar
thur Howe, former stars of the Ellis,
take part in the drilling of the team.
The practice was secret.
The eleven lined up against the
freshmen as follows: Hubbard, right
end; Madden, right tackle; Caldwell,
right guard; Miller, centre; Keteham,
left guard; Talbot, left tackle; Avery,
left end; Cornish, quarterback; Cor
nell, Knowles and Wilson, backs.

ACCIDENT MARS
GIANT-S0X BATTLE
One Killed and Many Hurt
When BIeaehers Fall. /

Tulsa, Okla. Oct. 29.-One man was
killed and ffty injured when the right
field bleachers at Exhibition Park fell
soon before the game was scheduled
to begin between the White SoE and
the Giants yesterday afternoon. Ches-
ter Taylor, twenty years, a, private in
Company l., Ninth Infantry, u. s. A..
stationed at Fort Root, Ark, received
a fracture of the skull. He died soon
after being removed to the Tulsa Hos
pital.
The crash came without warning
while five hundred fans, who had been
attracted to witness the struggle be-
tween Walter johnson, pitching for the
White Sox, and "Chrtsty'' MatheWson,
hurting for the Giants, were seated in
the bleachers. There were about four
thousand in the park and those that
remained after the accident saw John
son shut out the National league team,
to 0.
Governor Cruise, of Oklahoma, and
many other well known citizens, in
GLIDING officers of the Ninth Infantry,
had just seen 'sChief'' Meyers hit the
bail in practice to the centre field
fence, when the old b1eachers crashed
down. The soldiers, who had been de-
tailed for police duty at the game,
were marching into the field by the
stand and Private Taylor was struck
on the head by a heavy timber.
Mrs. Lobert, Mrs. Meyers and Mrs.
Doyle, wives of Giant players, had
walked directly under the stand few
minutes before, the front entrance
was blocked by enthusiastic fans, in
Guiding hundreds of Indians, who came
to pay homage to Meyers and Thorpe.
When the b1eachers had been cleared
and the injured cared for the game
went on and was played in the re-
markab1e time of one hour and ten
minutes johnson pitched the full nine
rounds and had the satisfaction of be-
ing on the winning side 2 to when
Matheweon, who started for the Gil
ants, left the mound at the end of the
fourth inning. The rest of the runs
were made Off Wiltse who finished the
game.

Such, at least, is the opinion OF

the best goodwill on both sides.
Officially we have not yet received

one hitch is likely. The National

FSultz
If the players wish to send a dele
cation of their own numbers, with
an active player as spokesman, we
will receive them in the most AMIGA
bic fashion. But we cannot see
where any outsider has any business

F0LWELL PRAISES
YALE IN FOOTBALL

Coach F'olwell, of washington and
Jefferson, says he regards the Yale
line from tackle to tackle, as the best
Of any in the country. Seldom, he
says. has he seen such defense and
such ability to diagnose attack. What
ever of exaggeration there may be in
this, there Is also a powerful element
OF truth, Whatever may be said of
the Blue offence there is no ga.insay
ing the power Of the Ellis to repulse
opponents.
It is no disgrace for big eleven to
be scored upon in these days Of open
football, but just the same the team
that goes along through the season
with clean slate argues a team that,
IN addition to defensive power, is gift
ed IN details of the game. In other
words gifted in fundamentals Ya1e's
attack may never equal her defense.
but, even so, the day has not gone by
when a strong resistance has in it
many qualities of offence
Speaking of the YaIe-Washingto n
and Jefferson game, FolwelI says: II
thought the game a. good exhibition of
football, considering the ground condi-
tons. What Yale would have done on
q dry field is hard to say, for a. dry
field would have been even more in our
favor than YaIe's. Wilson is a good
back, and Cornish has all the qualities
requisite fer a good quarterback. He
used excellent judgment in running
the team, and made many individual
plays for substantial gains.
stAs whole, the Yale team is good.
Time after time Saturday they called
our plays before they were even start
ed. On the offence they furnished the
best interference have seen this sea-
son. When near the goal line, how
ever, there was a noticeable lack of
punch displayed"
