More Cyclone News
The storm and tornado which
passed through here Wednesday ev-
ening, did considerable damage. 1t
passed through Gutenberg, doing
great damage to the depot and 20 or
80 dwellings and other buildings
Pieces of roofs and a bed mattress
were found over half way up the side
Of the bluff When it crossed the
river it's suction drew up vast vol
umes of water and dashed the water
to fury. About the first material dam
age inflicted on this side of the river
was at the Wallace Rogers farm. The
windmill was blown down and the
barn and out-buildings were more or
| less damaged. From there it crossed
the road and uprooted a number Of
trees at the Roger Winner place. At
Gustave Kuenster's but slight dam
age was done. Geo. Vogt, the heavi-
est loser, was next. There is COM
pletely demolished three big barns,
picked up a double cOrncrib and
smashed it into some trees Is or 100
feet away and carried the roof oyer
the trees across ditch and deposited
it about 100 feet further on in field.
The windmill was twisted up and
blown down and many large trees
uprooted. The neighbors have con-
tributed both money and labor, a tidy
purse of about $3.50 being raised The
stock all miraculously escaped death
or serious injury with the exception
of few hogs and chickens. A hay
loader was completely wrecked and
| a hay rack but slightly damaged af-
ter having been carried about fifty
yards. From Vogt's it proceeded east
ward and destroyed hay shed on the
Jas. Powers farm. The John ]. Ryan
farm was the next in it's path where a
large basement barn was moved part
ly off it's foundation, crushing a part
Of it in and taking a corner off the
roof. The windmill was blown down,
porch torn off the house, several large
windows in the house blown in and
chimney and roof badly damaged.
The Dodge church district was the
next plact struck where more or less
damage resulted. It's pathway is we'll
defined by hundreds Of rods of fences
destroyed and many trees uprooted or
broken off. A part of the storm took
northward course striking the
Chandler and Wood Bros. farms and
doing small damage to windmills,
shade trees and small buildings Some
places a violent hail storm preceded
the tornado by several minutes, the
hailstOnes being of unusual size and
shapes.

Columbia Has
Big ootball
Squad at Work
Seventy-6ve Men Put
Through Their PAGES by
Head Coach Dawson
By Charles A. Taylor

The football outlook at Columbia
frightened considerably yesterday
afternoon when squad of seventy-fve
men appeared on South Field At one
time four different elevens were lined
up and Head Coach Dawson had his
hands and feet full keeping in touch
with the various sectors of the grid
iron. The practice attracted a large
number of the soldier and sailor
students and they finally had to be
the football warriors might have room
for their mannuvres.
Among the most interested of the
spectators was Major Earnshaw, who
has the athletics Of the institution in
charge. The major saw action at
Chateau Thierry and much to his
chagrin was ordered back home to re-
cuperate. He is an enthusiastic foot
ball fan and in his opinion this is the
one sport that fits man fo- such tests
as the major underwent lover there"
jim Rice, the veteran rowing coach,
was another onlooker. Jim was
amazed at the host of candidates and
sighed as his mind went back in con-
trast to the years when he was lucky
if he succeeded in corralling twenty
men for his crews. Jim amused him
self by appraising Dawson's pupils
from an oarsman's viewpoint. He
picked out a half dozen or so of the
lads as measuring up to the standard,
The first twenty minutes of the
practice were devoted to the tackling
NJ, no h no
taskmaster. In the first place there
was no straw scattered about the ma
chine and the men who didn't hit the
dummy just right got some pretty hard
bumps. The major displayed especial
interest in this feature Of the drill.
Dawson introduced one innovation in
the tackling. When he was instructing
the men how to put an opponent out of
the play he insisted that after hitting
the dummy they spring quickly to their
teet and hit it again, on the theory that
II they missed their man in actual rlay
the first time they must always make
another stab.
A long punting drill and some signal
work followed the tackling, and then a
brlef scrimmage was held. No attempt
was made to pick first eleven, as Daw-
son feels that he needs few days more
IN order to get definite line on the
more promising material.
The coach was relieved to learn that
Charley Shaw, the veteran halfback,
will not be transferred to an officers
training camp until later, SO there is a
possibility that he will be able to take
part in some of the games with outside
teams which it is hoped will be ar
ranged for November.
Among the new candidates who re-
ported yesterday was Peterson, who
! played such sterling game at halfback
on the Stevens eleven last fall. Peter
son Is in the naval unit at Columbia.
Dawson was assisted in his work yes-
terday by Lieutenant French, halfback
on the Rutgers team for three years,
and by Kennedy, the captain-elect of

Man Who Said

Louis Meyer, the "Prince of Ciga-
rettes" and partner of Senor jacques
Curley in the promotion of wrestling
matches in this city last winter, was
spanked yesterday at, but not on. 1882

would have to take his meals off the
mantelpiece for the next two or three
days Louis fastened to court and Sc

zbyszko, Curley and Meyer were in
Curley's Broadway office yesterday
morning, discussing wrestling, liver
wurst and the war. Zbyszko claimed
to be something of an expert on the
habits of the succulent liverwurst, and
this drew from Meyer, who is about a
yard and a half in length, the remark
that Zbyszko was a German.
The mighty son Of Poland contorted
his face into his favorite wrestling
glare. grabbed Louis by the seat Of
his pants and laid him across the
arms and kicked his heels Zbyszko ap-
piled the palm of his hand to the place
where our fathers tell US it does the
most good.
When Meyer escaped from the giants
clutches he grabbed the softest pillow
in the Office, called taxicab and sat
himself tenderly down on the seat.
Then he went to the West Side court,
where he secured the summons from
Magistrate McQuade. Zbyszko appeared
in answer to the papers, while Curley
occupied front seat as the audience.
"Where did he strike you? Show
me the evidence" demanded the magis-
tratc.
Meyer blushed. wriggled nervously
and said it would be impossible in such
q public place, and so the magistrate
announced he would discharge Zbyszko
because of "lack of evidence"
The Polish wrestler said afterward
that he could not stand being called

The first double header Of the school
boy football season in Brooklyn wlll
be played next Saturday at Ebbets
Field. The games scheduled are Boys
High VS.. New Utrecht and Manual

tending eevens take the field. In the
past it has been the custom for elevens
concerned in double header attractions
to play their first half and then rest
while the other teams played their
first two quarters.
