Drop Kick Failed.
Later in the quarter Lindsey tried
drop kick from the 37-yard line. The
ball fell short and Cook gathered it up
for a return of thirty yards. That was
the signal for Rutherford, Chamber
lain, Gardiner and Otoupalik to show
something. 1t was a series of pretty
off-tackle smasheS and split buck
wallop through center that ended
when Gardiner rode over the line for
the fourth touchdown. Coreys goal
aiming was accurate and the register
read 81 to o.
Burying the football in his side aft
err receiving the following KICKOFF, the
wing-footed Chamberlain did a dash
of thirty yards before he was dragged
to the ground.
Shortly after the start of the fourth
quarter Rutherford logged the ball
over the line for the final touchdown.
Nebraska dropped the puntout, so
Corey lost his chance to aim for a
final goal. The game ended while the
ball was in the air. soaring away from

The GopherS were rated a stronger
eleven than Chicago, even with the

by experts team slightly inferior to

their contest were able to make two

NO COAST TRANSFORMING.

San Francisco, Nov. 15.-Major
league baseball clubs no longer will
be welcomed in cities of the Pa
cific Coast league as participants in
exhibition games as 'barnstorm-
storming'' baseball officially was
placed on the taboo list late Sat
urday night when the league d.
rectors at their annual meeting
voted to close the gates of all
league parks against exhibition
games whether of local or foreign
talent.
The league also put itself on rec
ord as opposed to playing of win
ter baseball by players under con-
tract or reservation on the ground
that the practice was detrimental
to summer playing ability. No ac-
ton was taken on the salary limit
question.

The election of zehrung and the
most bitter fights ever waged since
the organization of the Western
league. Immediately following the
close of the last season, a majority of
the club owners of the league met at
Omaha and decided to Gust O'Neill.
ONein Wouldn't Quit
President Hanlon. of the Sioux City
club, was chosen president pro tenn,
and Tip was asked to resign. This he
refused to do, announcing that he
would hold on to the job until the
league paid him for his services for
1916, which he asserted was guar
anteed by contract.
Matters dragged along for several
months with Jack Holland, of the ST.
Joe club, and Frank Isbell, of Des
Moines, supporting O'Neill in his fight
and the other club onwers determined
to Gust him at once.
Then, when the club owners came
to San Francisco to attend the annual
meeting of the National Association of
Professional Baseball leagues, both
O'Neill and the opposition came here
to make their last stand. Early last
week it was predicted that cQmpro-
mise might be effected and that
O'Neill might be retained. but the last
hope of the Chicago man went glim-
Omaha, was recognized by the asso-
citation as the official representative of
the Western league.
Frank Zehrung, former Lincoln,
Neb., mayor, and a partner of L. NJ.
Crawford, of Topeka, Kan, in a string
of theatrical enterprises, was chosen
by the majority of club owners as the
most logical man to head the circuit
and the announcement that he had
been officially elected was no surprise
to baseball men.
President Zehrung is said to be one
of the most popular men in the middle
west, and business man of unusual
ability. Even in ST. Joe, where Jack
Holland opposed him, it is said that
the baseball followers are strong for
Zehrung

Predictions are now being made
that Yale will trim Harvard. Last
Monday a prediction Of this sort
would have produced only jeers. But
football dopesters are all quick change
artists.
Aside from the Yale surprise, Sat-
urday's eastern games ended as they
should. Cornell won, Harvard Subs
defeated Brown 16 to Z. and Michigan
and Pennsylvania, both rotten teams,
played a to 0 tie.
In the Big Nine" Illinois won
from Wisconsin II to 8, and Mime
sofa defeated Chicago 20 to T. The
Oklahoma Sooners had little trouble
in disposing of the Arkansas Razor
backs at Fayetteville
The big game this week will be the
Yale -Harvard clash at Cambridge
Saturday. OF course, the game of
most l. cal interest will be between
Washburn and G.. of E. at Emporia
Thursday. The Aggies finish their
season with the Oklahoma Sooners at
Manhattan.
If the Ichabods show the same form
against the Emporians that they dis
played against the Aggies they should
win. But indications are that it will
be a close game with the teams evenly
matched.
The old season is rapidly drawing to
a close. Washburn winds up her regu-
lar schedule this week. K. U. has only
the Missouri game left, and the Ne
braskans will end their activities
against Iowa.
AFTER TINS week the only games OF
more than sectional interest that will
be left will be the Misso uri-Kansas,
the Army Navy and the Cornell-Penn-
sylvania clashes. There is little indi-
cation that Nebraska will play a post
season game with Oklahoma or any
other team.
Reports from Missouri are to the
effect that the Tigers. as usual, con-
expect to defeat Kansas again
this year. In no other game on their
schedule do the Tigers fight so much
like fiends as they do against the Jay
hawkers, and with the battle on their
home ground they feel like they will
enter the contest with better chances
than last year when they upset all
dope and won.
However, it has been definitely an
that Fullback Woody will not
be able to play in the game. Hamil-
ton, the new Missouri center, who is
said to be a real football find, will
play against K. u, and Lansing will
be switched to the backfield. Prepare
tons are being made at Columbia to
a 1900 crowd at the
game.

Sweet Peas, Shirley Poppies
and Candytuft lmo 9 Va
rieties for Early Bloom
PREPARATION OF THE SOIL
Best Place to Plant Sweet Peas is in
Vegetable GaroNn--lnformation of
Interest to Lovers of Flowers.

(By c. A. Keffer, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
II sweet peas are not yet planted
they should be sown as soon as posi-
bic. Buy the orchid-fowering, or Spen-
cor varieties. The named sorts give
tie best results, but mixed seed pro-
duce satisfactory flowers. Prepare the
soil by spading two spades deep, mix
ing good manure all the way down.
Dig a trench two spades wide, throw
Ing the soil on each side; then spade
good layer of manure, a full spade
deep in the bottom of the trench. Fill
In one-half the surface soil, mixing
fine manure with it, This will leave
the surface of the trench from four
to six inches below the level Of tie
garden Chip the coat of each sweet
pea seed, and SOW rather thick, as for
garden peas, in line down the. center
of the trench, covering not more than
one-inch. Some gardeners cover the
seed with two inches of well rotted
manure AS the peas grow the trench
is gradually filed; trellis is made for
the plants to climb on, OF brush or
chicken fencing. By the time the
plants are ten to twelve inches high
the trench should be filled to the level
of the garden
1t is best to plant sweet peas in the
vegetable garden, where they can
have thorough cultivation. The
flowers should be picked every day if
large blossoms and long season Of
bloom are desired
Shirley Peoples and candytuft.
The best strains of seed are the
Sunset and Burbank Shirley Poppy
and the Empress Candytuft. All gar
dens that are to produce early flowers
should be dug deep in the fall with
plenty of fine manure forked in, and
4 left rough until planting time, when
the soil should be made very fine and
smooth Poppy and Candytuft are
among the hardest flowers, and the
seed should be sown broadcast on the
surface, without covering, any time
from January to the middle of March.
| have had the best results from Jan
uary sowing. The peoples being of
many shades, from deep red to white,
are best sown in beds by themselves.
The Shirley peoples are the best of
their family for cutting, but they
j should be cut in the early morning be,
fore the. dew is off, and placed at
once in water, or they will wilt. Carry
q vessel of water to the garden and
set the peoples deep in it, and they
will last quite while. To prolong
the season the flowers should be cut
every day.
Empress candytuft is a white variety
4 bearing very large clusters. 1t is es-
lpecially good for sowing broadcast
among perennials. or as a ground cover
lamong later blooming plants Proper
lily grown it covers the soil with a
| sheet of white bloom, and It Is one OF
/ the best spring flowers for cutting.
