BATTLE WITH AMES
Coach Stewart Puts Charges
Through Stiffest Practice
of the Season.
HOSPITAL LIST Is LARGE

Lincoln, Oct. 3l.-(Special.) DIR.
Stewart put his foot ball squad through
the stiffest practice .sf the season here
today in preparation for the crucial
game with Ames here next Saturday
afternoon.
As a result OF the distressing show
ing last Saturday, Nebraska is bound
to play better loot ball for the squad

a serious talk, which Stewart de-
livered in the gymnasium after the
game. The thing which is causing
the greatest worry in the Cornhusker
camp just now. is injuries The hos
pital squad has assumed alarming
proportions.
Moser, Gardiner, Riddel. Galley,
Cook and Shaw, are all suffering from
minor injuries, but are expected to
be back in shape for the game next

ture of the hospital list is its ser
ious interference with scrimmage, of
which the Huskers are badly in need,
Vets May Get Gate.
The Nebraska mentor may scramble
his lineup again before the game
with Ames. The backfield performed
like high school boys last Saturday
and unless there is big improve
ment during the next two days, some
OF the veterans will find their places
taken by second-string men.
Stewart is directing all OF the work
this week behind closed doors. Ames
had scoting party on the side lines
last Saturday, but the Huskers used
only the simplest formation and il
did not benefit the visitors much
The squad will get bunch, OF new
formations this week for the specia
benefit OF the Aggies. The Huskers

Cornhuskers Won't
Play Post-Season
q. /,
Games, Says Reed

Lincoln, Oct. 3l.-The University
OF Nebraska will not accept any offer
to play a post-season foot ball game
with an eastern or any other team;
according to Athletic Director Reed
today in refusing proposal made by
Walter E. Hapgood, business man
ager of the oston Braves. Hapgood
proposed that Nebraska play Decem-
Der on the Braves field. Boston,
TUFTS, Brown or Dartmouth. Reed
replied that Missouri valley rules for
bid more than eight games year
Nebraska's schedule being full, and
also forbid games on other than col
lege fields. As far as Nebraska is
concerned, this ends all talk Of inter,
sectional post-season games.

American Leaaue.

The injury to Frank Gotch. wrest- ling champion, will for some time stop all talk regarding a match between the title holder and Joe Stetcher. Un- til Gotch broke his leg it appeared pro- bable that the two would meet this autumn or winter in a match to a fin ish for the championship. The cham pion is reported to have been gradu- ally rounding into the form he dis played on the mat a few years ago, and to have expressed to his friends the opinion that he could regain the strength and speed that made him in- vincible in the past. It is quite with in the range of probability that when Gotch recovers from his broken leg he will decide to forego any further attempt to reenter the wrestling arena.
 The possible resignation of Colum- bia from the Intercollegiate Rowing Association, if it is followed by Penn sylvania, as has been intimated in cer- tain rowing circles, will probably spell the death of the four mile regat- ta on the Poughkeepsie course. Within the past two or three years there has been a growing sentiment in favor or shortening the varsity race distance. Titular contests at either two or three miles have been suggested as sub ordinate and it is known that several colleges which now encourage row ing but do not enter either the POugh- keepsie or New London regatta, would not be adverse to competing in two mile race. It is not beyond the bounds of possibility that from the ashes of the Poughkeepsie regatta, If it is abandoned may arise an American college Henley. at which will compete not four or five colleges, but twice or three times that number, once the regatta is established aud suitable course selected.
 Entries for the inter-circuit tourna- ment of the Polo Association, to be played at Philadelphia, beginning Sep tember 15, will close on August l. The officers of the association expect that there will be a representative list of teams from various parts of the coun- try and that the competition will be fully as keen and high class as the play for the national championship at Narragansett pier during the next few weeks.

Northwestern rn.

NEW YORK, July 31. - More speed is being shown on the base lines and in the field this season than was the case a year ago, if the vari- ous records of the two major leagues are read alright by those who follow the intricacies of the national sport. Considered as a whole the averages of the players of the American and National leagues show breater hit ting ability; better fielding form and, in fact, an all-round improvement upon the play of twelve months ago.
 A comparison of the base stealing records bear out this statement, for it is seen that with a few exceptions the leading base stealers of this sea. son are well ahead of their 1915 per formances. While Ty Cobb has yet to reach his mark of year ago, the ma jority of the leaders are we'll beyond the total number of bases stolen dur ing the first half of the previous sea son. The ten leading players in both leagues, with their record for both 1915 and 1916 are appended:

AS if loath to say good-by to fur
landings, which have been featured
this season as a finish for gowns.
fashion has turned to marabou and
ostrich feather landings in number
Of the frocks designed for spring and
or present wear. These landings are
wider than the marabou edgings
which were so popular few seasons
ago, and ostrich feathers combined
with marabou or used alone are con-
spicuous in them.
Bands made entirely of ostrich fbers
are likely to be in two colors, as dark
brown with white fbers intermixed
or gray with white, or in two shades
of one color, the darker color or shade
predominating. They are very hand
some but less durable than marabou
landings, because the fibers are liable

looking as marabou down is, it with
stands wear and dampness astonish-
ingly we'll.
One of the new feather-trimmed
frocks is shown here finished with a
full fuffy-looking banding of marabou
and ostrich combined. It is a graceful
dress cut on simple lines and made
Of dark gray satin as soft as crepe
There is an underbodice and sleeves
of georgette crepe, but with this and
a double skirt the frock still manages
to be one-piece garment.

The satin bodice is cleverly cut with
a heightened panel at the back which
gives it the appearance of a little
coat. A girdle extends from each size
of this panel to the front panel, and

The front panel reaches from the neck
of the satin bodice to the hem or the
Overdress. The satin bodice Is cut IN

the crepe underbodice is fulled into
narrow embroidered yoke with a
round neck opening.
The sleeves are long With Deep
straight, turned-back cuffs, and the 1ur
banding is placed about the edge OF
the cuffs and not about the hands.
The dress fastens at one side OF the
front panel with small shank buttons
of smoked pearl. A short band OF
feathers extends across the back OF
the neck of the underbodice.
The underskirt is finished with q
plain three-inch hem which provides
the fashionable panel at the back

WHEN YEARS BEGIN TO FLY
With Advancing Years, Time Has
Disconcerting Manner OF Slipping
Away With Rapidity.

One of the most puzzling phenome-
ma in all life is the peculiar difference
in the conception of the flight Of time
existing between the child and the
aged person. A year seems an age to
child, but to a grown person only
few days. If both young and old were
to estimate the length of time con-
sumed by an hour they would inva-
riably coincide in their decision; like
wise in describing minute or a Sec
ond, but when the year is thought OF
tremendous difference is noted.
William James, the great psycholo-
gist, explained this strange freak OF
our mentality when he analysed it
thus: "The same space Of time seems
shorter as we grow oldsr-that is, the
months and the years do SO; whether
the hours do so is extremely doubtful,
and the minutes and seconds, to all
appearances, remain about the same.
"In youth we may have an absolute
1y new experience, subjective or oDjec-
tive, every hour Of the day. Apprehen-
sion is vivid, retentiveness strong, and
our recollections of that time, like
those spent in rapid and interesting
travel, are of something intricate, null
titudinous and long drawn out.
"But as each passing year converts
some of these experiences into auto
matte routine, which we hardly note
at all, the days and the weeks smooth
themselves out in recollection to con-
tentless units and the years grow hol'
low and collapse"
