NORMAL FOOTBALL
PROSPECTS GOOD
Manager W. W. Martin and Coach
COurleOux to Plan
Schedule.

After a respite Of two years from
having a football team in the field
Prof. w. w. Martin. manager of the
1915 team and Ferdinand COurleOux,
who will be coach and athletic director
succeeding DR.. Walter +. Cobb, resign
ed, within the next few days, will be
actively engaged in preparing a
schedule of games with outside Mis-
souri, teams.
A game with the Washington Uni
versity team of st. Louis is in pros
pect as well as contests with Carbon
dale Normal, st. Louis University and
other colleges.
The game with Washington Univcr-
sity would be considered as the big
game of the season by the manage
ment, should it be scheduled. Prof
Martin has had some correspondence
with the officials at Washington about
the game, but nothing has been done
to settle the date in an official way.
Manager Martin last night said that
so far as he knew, the Normal team
will have to be built up from an ag-
gregation of green men with two or
three old players as a nucleus around
which to form a good machine.
The absence of the game from the
schools athletic scheme in the last two
years accounts for the lack of trained
football men in the school combined
with the fact that most Of the students
remain in their course only two years.
Coach COurleOux, who was offered
the position as athletic director at the
Normal Immediately on receipt of the
resignation of DIR. Cobb, yesterday aft
ernoon had not received a reply to
wire he sent his superintendent in
Birmingham, Ala, asking his release
from his position there.
He said, however, that he antici-
pated no difficulty in that matter, be-
cause the superintendent often had de-
clared he would stand in none of his
mems way for an advancement.
Courleux said if he is not released,
he simply will hand in his resignation
to take the position at the Normal.
In talking over football prospects
for the coming year at the Normal
school Courleux said he had every
thing to learn about the men who are
available. He wants every man who
will be in school and who has any am
bition to make the football team, to
get into suit at the start of the sea-
son.
He placed emphasis on the point
that he will be coming to the school
where he is virtually unknown among
the boys and men who will be trying
out for the football team. Consequent
ly, he declared, there can be no chance
of any unconscious favOritism.
Every man will have a fair show
The weekly tribune and the Cape County herald. (Cape Girardeau, Mo.) 1914-1918, 1915-08-27

to deliver the goods and all will look
alike to him, he said.
He also expressed some degree of
satisfaction that he will take charge
of the boys and teach them how to
play the game his way without having
to interfere with the teachings of for
mer football mentors.
Among the Normal school alumni in
the Cape, the election of COurleux to
the football job means the rciubvcna-
ton of football at the Normal and the
making of an excellent team. 1t is an
ticipated that the members Of the
alumni organization who are in town
will do much to aid the team.
In addition to the football coaching,
CourleuX will organize regular gym
nasium classes for men. He expects to
make basketball and baseball leading
sports among the men later in the
season.
Everyman who is bona fide student
at the Normal will be eligible to play
on the football team this fall, Prof.
Martin announced last night.
When the vote was cast to rcintrO-
duce football in the school last spring.
it was decided that freshmen as well
as the upper cIassmen will be allowed
to play if they are good enough to
make the team.
Another feature of the eligibility sit
uation will be that a single failure in
a mans course will not disqualify him
from the team.
Coach Courleux has been visiting
with relatives in the Cape since July
II, and when he was advised of the
offer here, he was preparing to de-
part to Birmingham to resume his
work.

FLOOD Wins over
PRIESTS FOR CROPS
Undermines Railway and Inun-
dates st. Vincent College Corn
River About Stationery.

After priests of st. Vincent's Col
| lege had made a determined effort to
save their corn crop on the lower farm
of the college five miles south of town,
the flood waters yesterday afternoon
undermined the Frisco Gulf line tracks
which had acted as a levee, and took
the field with a rush inundating the
corn to depth of more than four
feet.
Brother Vincent of the college was
on hand shortly after the water took
the corn field, with car load of sack
ed rock, too late to save the railroad
track by bolstering the weakened
rlaces with the rip-rap.
The Mississippi yesterday continued
to rise slowly. The advance of the
gauge yesterday was matter of only
few inches, and early this morning
the river was at a mark an inch or
two below 34.5 feet.
1t was said by rivermen that this
mark would be advanced perhaps by
another inch or two before the river
Begins to fall.
Reports from ST. Louis show that
the crest is about over there and the
fall is expected to set in here shortly
1t is expected that the water will go
down rapidly when the crest is past.
Reports of damages to crops from
the flood continue to reach the Cape
from farmers living south of here.
Between the Cape and St. Louis the
river has done little more damage than
it Rad created on rises earlier in the
summer, according to Capt. Buck
Leyhe, of the Steamer Cape Girar-
deau.
The st. Vincent College priests had
watched their corn crops very closely
all morning. They put force of about
20 men at work filling sacks with
crushed rock and loading the sacked
rip-rap upon a car in the Cape.
1t was believed that the rock inside
the sack would accomplish more in
fighting the flood than the loose rock.
In the afternoon, the officials of the
Cape Girardeau Portland Cement Co.,
offered the services of the cOmpany's
engine to push the load of ballast to
the college farm, where they wished
to have it placed along the Gulf line.
The afternoon Bloomfield local pass
ed down ahead of the rock car, which
was accompanied by Brother Vincent
with his crew Of about 20 men. In a
short time, the local was forced to
hack up, and the rock train drew into a
siding at the cement plant to allow it
to lass to go southwark by another
route.
The carload Of cement then pro-
ceeded down toward the college farm
on the Gulf line. The part of the
farm south of the track had been kept
dry by the protection of the railroad
right of-way and the ballast of the
track.
As they approached the farm, it was
seen that a place about 100 feet wide
had been completely swept away by
water and the flood was rushing
through under the track into the corn
field.
Father Vincent waded into the
The weekly tribune and the Cape County herald. (Cape Girardeau, Mo.) 1914-1918, 1915-08-27

stream till he was waist deep in the
water, to investigate the nature of the
damage under the track and learn if
it could be repaired readily.
He found that in some places there
was hole four feet deep under the
track and it would be impossible to re-
pair the dyke in the fact of the rush
ing waters. The attempt to use the
rock was abandoned at once and the
train returned to the city.
Last night it was learned that the
sewers along the levee on Water
street have been backed up into some
of the Easements of buildings. Water
has seeped into the easements and
stands several inches deep.
The stagnant water has begun to
cause trouble and owners of property
along the levee have been working,
trying to stop the seepage.
Virtually all the Easements are be-
ing literally treated with lime to keep
the water from becoming obnoxious.
South of independence street, the
public team track on the Frisco line
has been inundated to a depth of sew
eral inches in places.
Rivermen in explaining the rise in
the river at this point, say that the
rivers narrOwness for a distance of
about six miles after passing Gray's
point, six miles below, is the cause of
the phenomenal rise here. The water
in the bed of the river cannot pass
through the narrow portion of the
river channel fast enough to keep the
stage down.
According to some reports, the Mis-
sissippi is not giving a vast deal of
trouble below the narrow part of the
channel. Flood trouble in those places
has been caused to a great extent by
the tremendous rises in the small
stream in Southeast Missouri.
Train service between the Cape and
st. Louis yesterday was restored to
the normal, when the great washsut
near Tenbrook on the Meramec River
was repaired as the swollen waters of
the Meramec disappeared almost as
quickly as they came up.
Telegraph service also was COM
pletely restored by last night. The
Memphis Limited on the Frisco, which
is due to arrive in the Cape at AS a.
M, was an hour and a quarter late this
morning on account of careful rum
ming. The roadway between the Cape
and Memphis is said to be in good
condition.
The Frisco yesterday had consider
able trouble with local accommodation
trains to the South.
The Steamer Cape Girardeau, whish
arrived in the Cape early yesterday
morning brought many passengers
from St. Louis who had been unable to
get through by rail.
Capt. Leyhe declared that on his last
trip upstream, he picked up as many
as a hundred stranded passengers
along the river bank at various land |
ings. In some instances the passen- |
gers went through hardships to reach |
the river bank to board the steamer.
Flood conditions at st. Louis vir-
tually have disappeared, he said.

To Make Potash Here

The United States Potash Company
, is the name of newly formed Mary
land corporation which claims to have
discovere dand patented chemical
process for securing potash from field
spar rock, which is found in consider
able quantities in some parts of this
State as we'll as elsewhere. The COM
pany, which has been organized with
a capital of $250,000, proposes to To-
cate it's first plant in or near Balti-
more, as it's promoters say transpor-
tation facilities are easier there than
nomic handling of both the raw mater
ial and the finished product.
The process by which potash is to
be obtained from the feldspar has
been examined and tested by a local
chemist, assisted by Daniel B. Banks,
local mechanical engineer. and Geo.
G. Debler as a consulting chemist. 1t
was the report made by these experts
which prompted number of Balti-
more business men to embark in the
enterprise to form the local company.
~ Iermany. which exports to this
country about S0,000,000 worth of
potash year, has by its refusal to
continue shlnments caused much con-
Germ to the domestic fertilizer manu-
article by manufacturers and farm
ers.
Potash is used in the manufacture
of fertilizer, gunpowder, soap and
glass and has many other important
uses. American chemists and investi-
gators have for many years been en-
deavoring to make potash economi-
cally from feldspaY rock. This is
found in unlimited quantities in MANY
States, but no commercially successful
method for that purpose had ever
hene fVund until recently, when the
Baltimore chemist improved the

POPULAR FILMS
OF WAR SCENES

For the first time in Honolulu there
was presented at the Popular theater
this afternoon a series OF remarkable
pictures showing the German side or
the great European war. There was
an unusually large audience for a mat
inee and what the patrons saw they
seemed to enjoy immensely. These
pictures are billed to run through the
week, with matinee and evening per.
Torrance daily, and indications are
that the feature will do an unusually
large business in view Of the fact
that this is the first time Honolulans
have had an opportunity to see for
themselves exactly what Germany ia
doing i'm the war zones.
The pictures consist OF 5000 feet OF
films and show $50 vivid war scenes.
They were taken under the auspices
of the New York Staats-Zeitung, one
of the greatest German.Americah
newspapers, and an immense amount
Of money, time and trouble were ex'
pended in getting them. From the
viewpoint of education the pictures
are instructive and well worth seeing,
while they are sufficiently remark,
able TO interest any person no matter
with which side OF the great war his
sympathy rests. ---... -

KOREAN FACING
TRIAL ESCAPES;
CELL UNLOCKED

Yuan Ku Hee, Korean facing sew
eral charges, including robbery and
an assault with a weapon to commit
murder, sometime last night escaped
from the central police station. Today
a posse of officers is searching the
waterfront and Oriental section OF the
city for the man wanted for shooting
Japanese storekeeper q week ago.
The Korean is said to have been
locked up alone in cell. The po-
lice say he answered to roll call at an
early hour in the evening, when the
prisoners were fed before going to
bed. When the early watch began
duty at the station this morning they
made a tally of prisoners. Ku Hee
was not I'm the ranks. An inyestiga.
ton showed that his cell door was un.
locked. ..a IL .....
1t is admitted that 1t is q compare
lively easy matter for an active and
able bodied man to scale the wall that
surrounds the police station compound.
About all that is necessary is for the
prisoner to, climb to the roof Of a
cook house and then leap to the top
of the wall. A number of buildings are
conveniently located on the other side
of the barrier in the rear of the Inter.
Island premises. The Korean was to
have received a preliminary examina.
ton at district court today.
