Speedy Rush


One comment says that Speedy Rush will be given one
more chance "o beat Harvard and Yae"-or at leas-
Harvard or Yale"
Rush's future should hardly be based upon any such
result Next season Haughton will have the big bulk oil
his young eleven back. At Yale, Tad Jones Will re-
turn three-fourths Of winning team. In the meanwhile
Rush loses most Of and will be forced to build
over lineup. This, in the long run. Will be
good thing Princeton and for Rush But the material
at hand for 1917 may be nearly good as that at
Yale and Harvard This being Rush should be judged
for the future by what he accompshes with the material
at hand, By the further advances he makes in giving
Princeton more football knowledge rather than by any re-
suit against Harvard Yale.
Branding football schedules for year "hard" or
"e.sy" Is no simple How many year ago looked
for Colgate and Brown to have the two most powerful
eevens Pittsburgh in the East? As football Is TO-

as though the Wheeling Club will be

Professional Pocket Billiard
Championship Next Event of
National Importance

The next professional billiard match
Of Importance will be for the pocket
championship, now held by Frank
Taberski, of Schenectady. James
Mature, who was reared in Jersey City,
from which place he became a resident
Of Denver, and who now halls from
Kansas City, will be Tsberski's adver-
sary. The game will be played between
January 2 and II, probably in Science
tady. If the champion wishes to play
elsewhere he must obtain the consent
of Nature and the Brunswick Bake
Collender Company.
Natures defeat by Alfredo de Orc at
Doyle's Academy, January 6, z and s,
1918, will be recalled as an extraordi-
nary happening. Mature began the
final nights play with a lead Of 81
balls, but was beaten 800 to 563. The
Cuban finished the contest with a run
of 80, the highest scored up TO that
time at continuous pocket billiards. On
June 4, 1914, at Kansas City, in a
championship match, in which Ray R.
Pratt, of San Francisco, was the chal-
lenger, Benjamin Allen made run of
II balls, which remains the record.
Nature is showing fine form in prac-
tice.
Recently he gave John Layton a de-
cisive beating in a game Of 1000 balls.

York's "boy wonder" is next in order

Ralph Greenleaf did another sensa-
tional performance at Philadelphia last
week. He contracted TO give Morris
Fink, the local champion, odds of 500
10 400 in four sessions. In the first
session Fink scored 100 and Greenlea
II. The second session yielded Green
leaf 1856 and Fink 100. On the second
afternoon Greenleaf evened the score
by making l03 while Fink obtained 100.
Greenleaf's task for the final session
was 10 make 200 before Fink could
gather 100. Playing with dash and
accuracy that evoked almost continuous
applause, he reeled off his required
quota while the local man was max
ing 35.
buiAhb the HtAl Two months amateur
billiardists will be in the liselight.
Three tournaments under the auspices
of the National Association of Amateur
Billiard Players will be held in New
York. Two will be at 1872 balkline.

James A. Peterson of Minneapolis

practiced law in Minneapolis nearly sc
years. Mr.. Peterson has always
shown his friendship for the Negro
race. He has not objected to them
residing in respectable localities il
they are respectable.
He does not believe in segrega-
tion or racial discrimination, and is an
advocate for Equal rights for all
Atty. Peterson was one of the can
didates for Governor in 1914. He did
not get the nomination, but supported
Hon. w. E. Lee, the nominee of the
Republican party. He recently with
drew from the field of candidates for
Governor, and sought the position OF
Lieut.. Gov. This is most important
position, requiring executive ability
and integrity. Ex. Gov. Eberhart and
our present Gov. Burnquist, were
called to the executive chair to fill
unexpired terms, and it is important
that the people of Minnesota elect
as Lieut.. Governor a man, able to
fill the highest office.
Hon. James A. Peterson is the
logical candidate for the position he
seeks. He knows the resources,
needs, and opportunities of Mime
sofa and as presiding officer of the
Senate; he would maintain, that har-
monious organization necessary for
the advancement of Minnesota's in
terests, regardless of party lines,
mindful of the progress of Our great
State and his duty as citizen.
