CENTRAL HIGH HAS
TWO TEAMS TO BEAT
Beatrice and Lincoln Alone
Stand Between Mulligan and
Valley Championship.
SHOULD WIN BOTH GAMES
BY KARL LEE.

While the path to a valley cham
pionship with its wreaths of glory
almost stares Coach Harold Mulligan
OF Central High in the face, the cloud
of Beatrice and Lincoln rises to stand
between. The burning question is,
will he keep his step" From the
standpoint of perfectly-coached
squad the Omaha team is winner
Yet there is always that possibility
that some of the men may prove false
when they stack up against such as
Rathbun and Reese have in the field.
Lincoln's game with York displayed
one outstanding failing. 1t is a one
man team. In Halfback Griffin, in
jured or not, the fate of the team de-
ponds. This towering youth of 10
years and 1875 pounds is the. whole
works at Lincoln. After failing to
gain a foot in two line smashes, due
to bad Charley horse" this Griffin
at critical moment stepped ten
yards back of the line of scrimmage
on fake punt formation, looked for
several hair-raising moments to the
right and to the left finally singled
out his man, and dropped twenty
courtyard pass into the waiting arms
| OF Lamb, end, who was at the mo-
ment racing across the goal line, Lin
coins other two touchdowns were
hung up in just the same manner.
Two Stars at Beatrice.
Coach Rathbun has husky, we'll
rounded squad at Beatrice. Probably
but two men shine above the others,
these being Fitzpatrick, tackle, and
Jones, fullback. The former is com
paratively slow and numbering in his
weight, but is wonder at kicking.
He can place-kick or drop-kick at al
most any angle. His beef on the line
is one Of the bulwarks that makes
Rathbun's slow, easy style Of play a
success. Jones is hard line smasher
fast on his feet, and has statewide
reputation. Including two entire
back fields, the rest of the squad is
of capable quality, good for gain al
almost any time. Supported by a
| hedNy inc anu ScHci dieu ny qudi
terback of three years experience, the
team works like a machine.
Team Has the Goods.
Such is the situation that faces Null.
ligan and such it gives rise to the
question. The goods is in the team
1t has weight; it has speed; it has
fighting power, backed by the bes
possible coaching. Mulligan has de
veloped a defense that in the game:
this far has proved impenetrable.
Speed will be Centraps slogan il
these two crucial games, speed backed
by machine-like line work. To let ;
Griffin whirl his way past the primary
defense would be slaughter, for Reese
has developed wonderful interference
even with his weak squad. To forge
to spread on formations with the Lin
colnites on the offensive would b,
disaster. The Beatrice game will b,
battle-of one machine against an
other, the speed of the one agains
the speed of the other. Let Mulligar
strip the Queen City of her wing mei
!, and there Is little chance of Contra
losing the valley title.

Al Mccoy May Not
Be Great, But He's
Got Plenty Of Nerve

New York, Oct 28.-Al Mccoy,
who claims the middleweight title,
may not be regarded as great cham
pion, but he seems to be game
enough. If it were not for his doubt

with Tom Andrews, who acts as Pro

for bout with the Australian sensa-
ton. The Brooklynite has named a
price which is reasonable enough il
his claim to the title is at all worthy
of consideration. But in order to
avoid mistakes, Mccoy insists that the
amount Of his guarantee be posted in
local bank before he packs his trunk
for the long trip. That is where the
hitch comes in, as Baker is not in the
habit OF paying for goods in advance
For Mccoy to tackle Darcy, looks
like pugilistic suicide for the awkward
Brooklyn slugger. There is no such
thing as no-decision bout in Aus
tralia, otherwise he would not be tax.

when Captain Racely deliberately
kicked Swisher in the face. Three OF

dis Own

Over and over again, the wisdom
of the adage, "A man who is his own
lawyer has a fool for a client" and
the understanding that inspired the
injunction, Physician, heal myself"
are established in the courts. Every
lawyer is familiar with many instances
in which the wills of distinguished
%jurists have been set aside because
they were improperly drawn, and it is
a matter Of pretty common knowledge
that few doctors can diagnose their
own ailments.
Another exemplification now ap-
pears in the conflict about the will
of the late Dr.. Austin Flint. He was,
perhaps, more frequently employed as
an expert witness as to testamentary
capacity than any other alienist in
the country. Questions of mental fit
ness, of intent, Of motive and of the
other attributes of a "sound-disposing
mind were before him constantly.
Yet he drew his W will so ambigu-
ously, so o%bscurely, that his executors
have been compelled to invoke the aid
of the court to determine what the
learned testator meant.-Richmond
Times-Dispatch.

Dickens Poor Taste in Dress.

When Charles Dickens was to make
his first appearance in America as a
reader an immense crowd awaited him
at Il public hall in Boston. The en-
thusiasnf&of the people had risen to
fever heat. One of his most ardent
admirers afterward told this little in
cident Of the evening:
with q few gentlemen, who wished
to welcome him and to show him at
tention, l was in the little room back
Of the platform when Dickens entered
it. He was a rather stout man, with a
somewhat red face, and l saw, to my
surprise, that he was dressed in an
exaggerated servility to the extreme
of fashion. More than this, he wore a
b~outonniere In each buttonhole, and
two watches, the chains of which were
strung aggressively across his chest.
There was a gaudy bad taste IN his
appearance which his friends regret
ted, knowing how distasteful it would
be to his admirers, who appreciated
his genius and enjoyed his writings"

bird was absent.
