Hawkeye Coach
Discards Dummies
And Bucking Straps

Iowa City, Ia, Sept. 23-(Spe-
cial )-Tackling dummies, bucking
straps, charging machines, and some
of the other frivolities Of elemental
foot bali that have in the past con-
sumed some of the early days OF the
fall practice at Iowa seem in a fair
way to be practically, if not entirely,
discarded under the regime OF Coach
Jones. Anybody can tackle dunn,
N.Y." said Coach Jones. I'VE shall
have the men tackling runners in Of
der that they may learn the. prope..
way to bring down twisting and
turning player carrying the ball. In
the same way Jones opined that any
body could push charging machine,
about the field, and that no particu'
lar ability was necessary to hit the
hole in the bucking strap.
Practice at Iowa on the second day
of the season was continuance OF
the driving work in signals that had
been administered to the first team
on the opening day Of work. The
eleven was chased back and forth
Nd and down the field with Jones al
WAYS at its heels and directing the
efforts Of the men. Considerable ad-
vance in running off plays smoothly
is already apparent, and the signals
are working we'll. Use Of the shift
formation in a considerable number
Of the plays has been evidenced, but
this indicates no radical variance from
the style Of play generally used
throughout the west for the last few
seasons.
Captain Laun, Triplett, Bowlesby,
Holmes, Grub, Fosdick and Mckee
continued last night to hold line po-
sitions, with Jacobsen getting a try
at Fosdick's tackle. Bannick and
jenkins at quarter, Davis, Menden-
hall, Hammond and Duncan at halves
and Scott and Wyland at fullback
made up the back field. The mate
rial from which the first team is to
be built seems to have largely been
picked.

Omaha Fans May See
Donaldson Attempt
To Battle Rourkes

A game between the Rourkes, win
ners of the Western league pennant,
and the Affiliations, the famous cos
mopolitan organization of which
Donaldson, the negro hurier, is the
star, is a plan Pa Rourke has on
foot
Omaha fans who have seen Dom
aldson NOW down the Brandeis slug
gers repeatedly for several years,
have always been more or less GU
rious as to how Donaldson would
fare with Western leaguers. There
are those who believe he would be
Just as good against the Rourkes as
against the Brandeis. There are
others who believe the pros would
drive him to cover pronto.
1t would be an interesting combat
and Rourke is now in communication
with the Affiliations. II the game
is arranged, it will be played week
from today.

FOOT BALL FIENDS

NoNpARE1Ls ON THE JOB
By FRANK oUIGLEY.

Amateur base ball around these
jungles is just about ready to sneak
under the covers for approximately
six months and an old tried and found
guilty entertainer commonly called
foot ball will be the center OF attrac-
ton for some moons to come.
A large number Of aggregations
are already lined up and prac-
ticing hard couple Of nights per week
and most of them will take advantage
OF, the daylight by working out today.
Nearly every team is fortified with an
experienced coach and the raw ma
terial will soon gain enough knowl-
edge OF the game so they can quality
for fast company.
1t has always been the desire OF the
local foot ball enthusiasts and players
to mold together team that could
mop up with the Wisner Cornfeds, but
to date the Grape has always been
hung on the Omaha squads that at
tempted to turn the trick. Last sea-
son the Nonpareils came close when
they lost the championship OF the
state to Wisner by the score Of 7 to Q.
Wisner has a corker of q team and
they play clean foot ball, but here IS
hoping some Omaha bunch is rough
enough to clean up on them. sc,
Nonpareils Are Back.
OF course the Nonpareils, the big
noise in local foot ball circles, will be
back in, the field for the supreme puff
pose Of again mailing the Champion
ship Of Omaha to the cross. The
following gents are on the Nonpareil
roster: Kieny, Sandau, Hassen, Ray,
Moore. Long, Smith, Foran, Simpson,
MAY, Pearson, Schuelsky, Payne,
Nordstrom, Murphy, Blackman. Sci
den and Lynch. This team will be
under the personal direction Of Phil
Lynch. For games call Tyler 2279W or
scribble 1850 South Twcnty-second
street. q,
This season the Athletics will enter
the Class A race amply fortified to
give any Class A band run for their
kale. They have been practicing tor
some time and are now ready to meet
all corners. Frank Green is the main
squeeze of this herd.

Eastern base ball experts have
started discussions Of the relative
worth of Walter Johnson and Gro
yer Cleveland Alexander. Some ia
vor Walter, some Grover. Some say
Johnson must pitch against better
hitters, other demurr. Some say
Johnson hasn't got the team behind
him. Perhaps not, for hitting, but in
the fielding line Washington has
Philadelphia dashed to the mast.
There aren't any McBrides, Fosters,
Milans or Shanks on the Phillies.
Walters mates will cut down lot
Of hits that Alexander's never would
be able to touch. But Johnson pitches
in one league, Alexander in an
other. Alexander's record, OF course,
is the better, but ii would seem that
argument over the merits OF these
two hurting wonders is foolish, there
isn't any way to arrive at All unprelu-
diced decision. If you're from Ne
braska Alexander is the better pitch
