Those Auto Trails
Across the State

The Aberdeen Yellowstone trail
people have certainly stolen a march
on the Black and Yellow trail thru
the center of the state. The Black
and Yellow was started first, and
considerable work was done. 1t was
duly advertised and recorded in the
Auto Blue Book. Then the north
trail was started. Aberdeen got
behind it with her live commercial
club, and has about crowded the
central trail off the map.
In the meantime Huron and Pierre
dream on-and wonder why things
are SO. The small towns along the
line would be glad to help, but it
takes a central movement, backed
by enthusiasm and staying qualities
to win out on such propositions.
These things must come from the
larger towns. The Aberdeen hus-
tiers are now at work to make their
trail from coast 70 coast. and they
deserve to win out.

NO SPRING FOOTBALL.
Coach F'olWelI of Pennsylvania Op-
 posed to Such Training.

Philadelphia, Penn, Jan. 25.--Con- trary to report Coach Bob Folwell of the University of Pennsylvania foot ball team will not hold spring prac- tlce. This announcement will come as a surprise to those who had heard that the new Penn gridiron tutor be- lieved in routine work in the Spring.
 II do not believe in regular, spring football training,' said Folwell yes terday when he visited this city to talk over football affairs with members of the committee prior to the meeting to be held at Weightman Hall today. 1T will look over the fellows who think they would like to play in the fall. But I will not hold any practice.
 "Of course, I will not overlook the youngster who looks promising. The men who can punt will be instructed to do a little work during the summer months.
 Howard Berry, who was barred last season by the football advisory board, will get an opportunity to play on the 1916 team. I think Berry is a good football man. I see no reason why he should not make good and will certainly give him every opportunity to represent the Red and Blue"

The players are exhorted not to dissipate in any way, and l know personally that they have responded unanimously to the call of the college and of the coach to abstain from everything which would take an ath- lete out of training condition at any time during the year. I believe that this is an example which might be followed everywhere in college ath- letics.'
 Osbourn was asked his preference for Yales next head coach. He said:
 While l do not wish to compare the candidates for the position, I will say that I have always had 8 warm ad- miration for Al Sharpe, for his per sonality, for his character, for . his method of handling his players and for his actual football coaching. He makes the players bring their best to him.
 Osbourn weighs less than 1SO pounds but he is muscular and active. He is 6 feet tall. His home is at Shen- andoah Junction, w. Va.

NO OFFER FROM YALE.

New Haven, Jan. 25.-Denial was made by Yale athletic officials last night that John Fitzpatrick had been asked to become either head football coach or head of a proposed depart ment of athletics. The officials said that although they would esteem them selves fortunate to secure the services of Fitzpatrick in either ca- pacity, neither to him nor to any one else had yet been offered the position of football coach or athletic super visor. It is considered here un- likely that Fitzpatrick would consider such a proposition because he now holds an important position with a firm of New York contractors.

WHAT PHONY NAME DID. Father Wanted Huggins to Become 8 Lawyer But He Thought Different.

St. Louis, Mo, Jan. 25.-It is not generally known that Miller Huggins, manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, masqueraded under an alias in the early nineties, before he broke into big league circles.
 Huggins was known as James M. Proctor when he played on the St. Paul club. He couldn't use the family name because his father objected to a professional baseball career for his son.
 The elder Huggins had no idea that his son would ever become a big le aguer, so he advised him to stay out of baseball and practice law, but his son became a star two years later. The proud parent forgave him and Huggins dropped the alias.

Joe Jackson and 1916.

Which recalls the impending future ,f Joe Jackson, labelled by Gordon Mckay as The Carolina Crashsmith.' For some reason or another Joseph suffered a serious depletion of base hits last summer. He finished above 300, but not very far above, at sos, where In the old days his mark eN- tended from .340 to .40S.
 Jackson was transplantad last sum- rt.er from Cleveland to Chicago. This change may have been responsible for his slump.
 AS a White Sox regular he may rise again to his oldtime heights as first mate on the Walloping Window Blind e ptained by T. Raymond Cobb. And then again he may not. But Jackson cannot afford to slump. As Ty Cobbs only batting rival he is needed for a number of specific space-fll1ng pur- poses. For three years he gave Ty the battle of his dizzy young life and thereby added copious quantities to the gaety of things.
