BY GRANTLAND RICE.

Ut HAS been known for some time
that Minnesota and Ohio State
stood out Is two Of the rock
L crushers Of 1886. Here are two
veteran teams. stacked up with high
class material. three deep at least,
ably coached and on their way.
You1l find partisans Of both claim
ing national supremacy. even this
far ahead, with more than one big
boulder left in the road.
As the case now stands, both wade
in up to their necks this coming Sat.
urday.
Ohio State must beat on .
fast, powerful Pittsburgh team
at Columbus, while Minnesota
will be called on to repeI enc ef
the best Nebraska teams Of
many seasons.
Jock Sutherland will move his
Panthers into Columbus with . heavy,
hard-charging line that knows how to
handle the job. In Larue. Goldberg
and others he has q backfield on q par
with his famous 1884 aggregation that
came so close to spilling Minnesota s
winning march. Jock had q young
team last season, but they have the
needed experience now, plus an addi-
tion Of sophomore helpers who will be
heard from.
Has Fayorite Material.
ONO STATE is exceptionally
strong. Schmidt Is one of the
country's best offensive coaches and
In Dye, williams, Bettridge and others
he has the passing and running ma
terial for the type OF attack he likes
largely on the open side, where speed
and passing figure extensively.
He gave Nal Stevens q slight tip on
the situation last week by piling up 90
points against N. Y. U. But the Buck
eye pack will find Pitts defense an
entirely different matter. Year after
year you see few lines that measure
up to Pittsburgh forward strength
and next Saturday will be no excep-
ton.
The winner in this contest
should have q good chance to
gallop on unbeaten. At least
this will be the toughest after.
noon either will face for some
time.
Minnesota took her first hurdle
nicely with an unbroken run Of 1S
straight from 1888. This Fall Bier
man, another brilliant offensive coach,
has just rs good . team on hand a
he had in the unbeaten years Of 1894
and 1895. He has another fne cross
blocking line that knows how to open
up the boulevards for an extremely
able set Of backs in Alphonse, Uram,
Thompson, wilkerson and others. Min.
nesota Is usually the type of team
that gets better and better Is the
season advances. 1t never bogs down
around midseason. But Nebraska.
with Cardwell in action, will be no
soft opponent at this early date. The
Corn Huskers have plenty this Fall
and they should crowd the Gophers
all afternoon.

THIS next Saturday will be the day
Of the descending Ak. Here are
some of the strong, unbeaten COM
binations that face heavy casualty

Ross Gets . Break.

Ross Gets . Break.
THE local boxing commission has
been severe with champions who
do not defend their titles within six
months after winning them. This
also goes for the National Boxing
Association. which finds it best suited
TO its needs to break into print by
vacating q title when the holder does
not defend 1t within the period Of
grace.
Ross seems to be fortunate. In that
his transgression Of the rules were
overlooked on three separate occa-
sions. Canzoneri challenged for the
title and agreed on what was con-
sidered . good guarantee. Failure 70
agree on . promoter was all that pre-
vented . meeting between boys who
had fought two close fights. Neither
the local commission nor the N. 3. A..
took q hand in Strengthening out the
tangle, although the former insisted
on forcing Canzoneri into q match

air, four days without water and 40
days without food
Meanwhile, Farrell, 30-year- old
Indianapolis man, chung to his story
and resolution not to eat or drink

court"
City physicians, also skeptical
over Farrell's ability to remain alive
this long without water, have
warned him that he has only three
more days to live unless he aban-
dons the self-imposed fast which he
started Feb. 2.
Farrell believes that in the settle
ment Of the estate of his grand
father, George HUNDRED, he has
come out on the short end.
When Mr.. HUNDRED died in 1882
he left an estate of approximately
$4,000, including an estimated S15,-
600 in bonds and a 120-acre farm
near here. 1t was to have been di-
vided six ways, according to Farrell,
but all he has received to date is
$2000-minus attorney fees.
He has filed two suits in Clinton
Circuit Court to have the estate re-
opened, and there'll be no steaks
until he gets some action, he says.
ut is not my intention to die nor
to seek notoriety," he said yester-
day at the home of Mrs. Hanna
Burkhalter, where he is a roomer.
ut is my intention to get justice. If
I have to die to get it, I'll do it."
A doctor was called yesterday and
informed Farrell that if he con-
tinues to abstain from food and
water he can not live longer than
Monday. He appeared weaker to-
day. Already partially paralyzed as
the result of stroke in 1881, he
has lost 18 pounds.

COAST GUARD CUTTER
IN SINKING CONDITION

The United States Coast Guard pa
troll boat No. TIA, commanded by
Roatswain Ernest Tillett, was beach

crushed her port bow.
The Coast Guard vessel was break

Tangier Island when the mishap oc-
Cured. Water poured into the hull
and she was turned around and beach
ed to prevent her sinking.
Unable to complete her trip with
several tons of provisions for the IS
landers because of the ice, the Nettle
Crockett put back into port to await
the arrival of another cutter to re-
place the damaged vessel.
The gasoline boats Whitelock and

four and five tons of foodstuffs for
Smith Island, made a successful trip

PRINCIPALS RIGHT TO AID
MINISTER PUNISHMENT

Principals of Maryland schools are
permitted to inflict corporal punish
ment on pupils-as last resort.
A ruling by Attorney General Her.
bert r. O'Conor held that bylaw
of the State Board of Education, CIV
ing such permission had the force of
law. The ruling was returned at
the request of James H. Pugh, Mont
gomery County States attorney. Sew
eral pupils in the county complained
that they had been whipped by a
school principal
The regulation quoted by O'Conor
as giving power to punish was:
"Under no circumstances shall an
assistant teacher inflict corporal pun
ishment on a pupil. Cases seeming to
require corporal punishment shall be
referred to the principal, who may adj
minister corporal punishment as last
resort.
Pupils shall not be stricken on
or about the head in any way, nor
shall they in any manner be subjected
to any brutal or unreasonable pun
ishment. The alternative to corpor-
al punishment in cases of last resort
is the temporary suspension from the
school by the principal"

committee suggested, on a general
basis of two-thirds to Baltimore City,

PRINCESS ANNE EXPECTS
SUMMER BASE BALL

Officers and directors of the Prln-
cess Anne Base Ball Association held
an interesting and we'll attended meet
ing to devise ways and means Of pre-
paration for an early opening of the
1886 season.
After a thorough check-up it was
found that it would be necessary to
enlarge the present grandstand, build
new bleachers, repair the dugouts and
improve the playing field prior to the
opening date. They already have
excellent unifroms which were pur-
chased near the close of last season.
The matter was discussed from all
angles and it is thought that a plan
has been devised which, if given the
support of the fans will raise quite a
neat sum to be applied on the needed
work and at the same time will not
mean any financial sacrifice upon the
part of anyone.
The baseball officials gave Princess
Anne high class ball last season, Win
ming from the strongest teams on the
Eastern Shore and at the same time
maintaining a team of gentlemanly
ball players who filled their various
positions far better than the average
player.
This year all the best players will
be back again and several exception
ally good amateurs will be added tc
the ranks. Within a few days the
public will be appraised of the new
plan of financing and it is hoped thai
each and every citizen of this com
munity will lend their encouragement
and support to the movement.
