Ames, Iowa, Oct. 17.Ames Is busily prepar ing for Nebraska. The men are getting out on the field earlier now, and consequently are given longer workouts. Coach Ristine baa twenty-two men ou his varsity squad, and runs two separate teams thru signal practice. Of late one team has been run by Sub-quarter Knox and the other has been1 I the hands of Captai Jeanson. The teams are put thru about forty five miuutes' signal practice* and then lire taken to the lower part of the field where the rules are discussed and' new plays and signals ex plained. After the new plays are fully ex plained the men are put thru the plays until they are well in hand. About twenty minutes' scrimmage is indulged In of an evening. The forward pass has not been used to a great ex tent in the practice games, but it Is believed that Coach Ristine has several good ones worked out. The men have come out of the early prac tice games in good shape and, with the exception of minor injuries, all are in good shape, and nearly the entire squad will be taken to Ne braska. The men are all eager to meet Ne braska, for they believe they have more than a fighting chance. The sentiment of the stu* dent body is of such a nature that the trick la about due to be turned. Newspaper Scored. JJveryone here interested in football and a square deal incensed over the action of a certain Iowa paper in printing an article In regard to the brutal playing of the Ames team. The article is unsigned and purports to have been written by an eyewitness of one of the games. The article is one that does the entire Ames squad a rank injustice and is directed at the one thing the athletic powers have always felt proud of, and at something Ames has always tried to sidestep. In a recent conver sation Coach Ristine put himself on record as being against brutal football, and anyone watch ing scrimmage can see the efforts put forth by the coaches in stamping out all unnecessary roughness. HOWARD JONES IS STAR AT YALE New Haven, Oct. 17.The varsity was handled rather lightly by the Yale coaches again yes terday, and In the scrimmage most of the tost string were pulled out from time to time, giv ing the scrubs the brunt of the work. Some of the cripples were in the signal practice that preceded the scrimmage, but later only did easy stunts. Roome got into the signal practice and ap parently has entirely recovered from his muscle bruise. Howard Jones today went the pace on the varsity side during the scrimmage und made the best showing of any player, evidence enough that he has recovered from his bruises. Breaking up forward passes and defensive tac tics constituted the main work of the first eleven during the practice against the scrubs. The second eleven was given the ball to try the trick with variations, but Howard Jones time and again got the ball or smothered the run ner before he could pass the ball.

Madison, Wis., Oct. 17.Wisconsin's first foot ball game, which was with Lawrence last Sat urday and which resulted in a close call for the badgers, brought out the almost pathetic weakness of Coach Hutchins' football tearf- The score 5 to 0 does not show the relative strength of the two elevens. Lawrence was just as strong as Wisconsin, on offense and on defense, and it was only hard luck which kept the vis itors from scoring a touchdown when they worked the pigskin to Wisconsin's one-yard line. The badgers never had such a weak team. Reformed football has certainly played havoc at the Madison institution. Good men who wanted to come here to BChool beard that Wis consin was making football a "manly game" and not a contest in which real rivalry was to play a part, and they went to other colleges. The result is already on the surface. There are no promising freshmen, and Wisconsin has nothing better than a prep school football eleven. It is the greenest bunch that ever represented one of the big nine, and it is two to one that it will be overwhelmingly defeated by both Illinois and Purdue. The only likely-looking men have been de clared ineligible because of scholarship. Coacn Hutchins is a man of great energy, but he, too, is not up to the standard. In the east he never became famous as a football player, neither did he ever gain renown as a coach. It is understood that he Was only assistant coach at Syracuse. He is a "professor of physical train ing" and not a football coach when compared with Williams, Stagg and Yost. Old Spirit Gone. All of this is reformed football at Wisconsin. The old college spirit has already been frosted. The student body turned out strong Saturday, not because they wanted to see the game, but because they feared Lawrence would win and they thought that the old Wisconsin spirit would win even if the badger men were out pointed in knowledge of the game. Such is the situation at Wisconsin. Only a light schedule has been arranged, but it is a heavy one at that. Even Coach Hutching has admitted as much. If the badgers were to meet any' of their old rivals in the big nine this year they would go down in defeat by a score so big that it would shock the student body. Only one regular man of last year's team is back. That is Captain Gelbach. "Cody" Clark, who took Vanderboom's place last season in the game against Michigan, is out for the team. Saturday he did the star work. His forward passing was good, the ball going with almost the speed of a bullet and landing squarely in the arms of the Wisconsin man ready to re ceive it. Messmer also is showing some form. He is in at left tackle. He can do a pretty good drop. Saturday he missed three, but it was not his fault. The passes were all miserable.

It is stated that an open tournament will be held to determine Horgan's successor. Hor gan's interest in billiards, he says, caused him to give up the pool title, as he could not afford the necessary time for practice. TWO BOXERS PUT AWAY BY O'BRIEN Philadelphia^.' Had Easy Time with Trimble and Cooley Last Night. "PHILA" JACK O'BRIEN. Journal Special Service. Los Abgeles, Oct. 17.Philadelphia Jack O'Brien made his debut in Los Angeles last night by fulfilling his contract to stop Fred Cooley, his former sparring partner, who put him out at Toledo last February In two rounds, and Jim Trimble, a local light heavyweight. O'Brien's contract-"was to stop both men in ten rounds each, and he required but twelve rounds to trim them both. Cooley went out in the third round and Trimble stayed until near the end of the ninth round. Cooley made the mistake of attempting to force the issue with O'Brien and was put down three times in the three rounds before taking the count. O'Brien put him down for the count of nine in the opening of the third round with a right to the jaw, and repeated the operation a moment later when Cooley stayed down until Referee Robin son counted twelve instead of ten. Then Cooley arose and protested the decision, claiming that he was only stalling and wanted to continue the fight Their first round was an even break until the last minute. In the second O'Brien went after biin and punished him so severely that he fouled O'Brien three times. O'Brien ended the round with vicious rights and lefts which put Cooley down as the gong rang. The gong saved Cooley, as he staggered thru the ropes and had to be led to his corner. Trimble followed Cooley after*an intermission of five minutes, and took warning by. the fate of Cooley, bringing into play all his cleverness to avoid punishment, frequently clinching^ and stayed until the seventh round without accept ing any considerable punishment. O'Brien be gan business in 'this round and paved the' way to the knockout which followed. He put.rights and lefts to the jaw almost at will, and It was in this round that Trimble first showed dis tress. In the eighth round O'Brien put Trimble down four times, the gong saving him the last time. In the ninth round Trimble came back fresh, bat swung wildly. O'Brien repeatedly landed to the jaw. A few moments before the end of the round a viclons right to the Jaw put Trimble down for thevXacountW ohf five, and he rose In a dazed condition. O'Brien put him down three I this round, when he each tim tw nn erected a 40,000-bushel circular steel bin for the Aown the last time he was counted out, but storage of wheat ._-.,,-. yp, arose and wanted to proceed with tbe fight. THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNALS 'TERRIBLE TERRY TERRY McQOVERN, SCHOOL ELEVENS PRACTICING HARD Central High Management Is Ne gotiating with Shattuck for a Game Friday. South high team put in the best practice of the week yesterday afternoon and Coach Ellis is beginning to think that the North Siders will receive a scare on Friday if things continue as they are. About twenty-four men were out in Uniform at South's practice grounds yesterday, and with the aid of two alumni men Ellis put the men thru a stiff practice in which the first team was given a hard rub. After the regular scrimmages fifteen minutes was spent in socker football, which the coach thinks is good for a player's wind. The orange and black team will put up. a better game against North than they did against East, and, altho it is almost certain that they will be outweighed, the players are in high spirits and will play the game of their life. North high went into Former Champion, Who Says He Will Knock Young Corbett Out In Their Fight Tonight. 7the scrimmage work In earnest yesterday, and -a^fl the -players who were injured in'the Ndr'th'flejd game were out and in their positions. It" is thought that Dr. Burgan will begin Friday's' game with the same team that lined up against the Nor,thflelds in the first-half, with probably one or two changes. Chicken, the star halfback, has recovered fully and will be at his post when the whistle blows for the South Side battle. This little man has showed that he is the best in the business by his work last Friday, and the South Siders will find him a hard man to handle if he is right. Lauritzen, Lee and Casey, will undoubtedly start out behind the line with Chicken, and this com bination is hard to beat in any of the school teams. The line will probably be shifted some, but everyone may be given a chance. East Side was out twenty-five strong yester day, preparing for their practice game with St. Thomas second team, which is being played this afternoon on the saint's grounds. The East Siders miss, their regular weekly game by the Mechanic Arts high school of St. Paul backing out,, but, as this game"''would have been all East, there is little lost except practice. Central practiced on their open grounds yes-, terday, but today will find them at Nicollet park in secret practice.- The Central manage ment is negotiating with Shattuck for a game Friday, and should things be arranged, the red and blue warriors will endeavor to down the military menj The Centrals are at their best now, and Coach Morse thinks that the "Shads" could be given a stiff battle. This game would also go a long way in comparing the East and Central teams, as East played Shattuck Satur day and lost by a small margin. Central's first school game comes one week from Friday, when the South high team will be taken on at Nic ollet park. The turnout at this game depends a great deal on what kind of a showing South makes against North Friday. WISCONSIN TRAINS AT KICKING GAME Madison, Wis., Oct. 17.Coach Hutchins of the Wisconsin team Js training his men for 4 kicking game under the new rules. Practically all the time yesterday was spent in develop ing some part of the kicking game. Clark and the candidates for quarter were tried at catch ing and running back punts, and the work showed a great improvement over Saturday. Clark was also given practice in punting, and his work received the commendation of the coach. The varsity was lined up against the fresh men and quarterback kieks were tried. The varsity gained much ground and once scored a tdrjchdown on this play, a man getting the ball after the kicks and going over the fresh man goal line. Clark was back after his dis ciplining by the coaeh for breaking training rules, while Bailey and Soukup were on the field again. MICHIGAN OFF FORM Wolverine Scrubs Give Scare. Regulars a Ann Arbor, Mich., Oct. 17.During secret practice yesterday the scrubs clearly outplayed the varsity. Only good kickinlg by Garrels saved the regulars from being beaten. After forty minutes of hard work the score stood 0 to 0. At one time Featherstoue got away with the ball for what looked like an easy touehdown, but he was stopped by a good tackle of Lowell, the varsity center. Featherstone outplayed Cap tain Curtis at eud. Yost used another freak lineup on the varsity, last night. He appar ently is trying to accustom the men to play any position on the team. SHAKEUP FOR ILLINI Lindgren Shifts Men in Readiness for Michigan. Urbana, 111., Oct. 17.It is evident that Head Coach Lindgren plans several changes in the makeup of the Illinois eleven, hoping to strengthen the ends arid backs. Last night at end he tried out "Prep" Long, hitherto a half back, Cermak and Mackey. In the backfield Hodge was given a chance to shine, for the little fellow discounted some of the heavier backs in the Wabash game. Sinnock, the midget quarter, seems to have the position nailed. His playing- pleased everybody, and he will get a' chance against Michigan. BATTLEGROUKD FOR PTJGS.

Johnson is veteran and plays an end position. Taylor has be.en circumvented by faculty restrictions. He donned his moleskins last night and tonight the whole array of players were taken to the state farm for secret practice. Johnson has played four years, but part of his gridiron service was in the days of prepdom. Cotton was debarred altho hia case was similar to that of Johnson. Nebraska did not display singular gridiron skill in the contest with Drake last Saturday, The signal work was bum, while the action of the team was rugged. Fumbles and penal ties were frequent and rough play was alluded to several times by the officials. Nebraska's weakness is in the offensive. The defense has so far appeared stronger than the tactics of the opposition. Interference for quarter runs is decidedly bad. Unless Foster gets more speed and ginger into the team the cornhuskers will do little scoring this season, the tactics being to keep the opponents from success. Ames is an unknown proposition this year and Foster has debarred all spectators for the week and will try to Inculcate a few tricks in the cornhusker repertory, GRAIN HEN GIVE GDBS A BANQUET Journal Special Service. Chicago, Oct. 17.The members of the Chi cago National baseball team were guests of the Chicago Board of Trade at a banquet last night. The event was arranged by the grain men in anticipation of the national league winning the world's championship. Altho the team was defeated by the Chicago Americans none of the arrangements were changed. Five hundred of the team's admirers sat down to the dinner. President. Murphy of the National team stated tonight that between $5,000 and $7,000 had been divided among the players on his team sines the post-season games, in addition to the loser's end of the prize money in the world's series. "We voluntarily gave the men nearly' $3,000 from exhibition games," said Mr. Murphy, "and today we divided between $3,000 and $4,000 more in bonuses and presents. We did this re gardless of the fact that our salary list ia the largest of any club in organised professional baseball. We did this because we feel elated that our team won more games in a season than any other club'has ever done." ^i 0 9mP rM PRACTICE AFTER TODAY'.^p SWORN TESTIMONY IN "LIFTING" CASE vuij -i" r goo a tne attention of the coaches and as he is one shape with tight work, out Kaufnwji .Jhas not rf ft* best sprinter* in t*' jSdStT m I yet arrived & ka.al-ren a efcmwoa, 7T- Urbana, IU., Oct. 17.The case of Olen Wat son, the former Illinois athlete who went to Chicago last week, was the talk of the state university campus today.

Oct. 17.Gloom spream over the football quarters yesterday jjrhen it was rumored that Dwan, who has made such a remarkable showing at quarterback since the opening of the season, may quit the squad owing to parental influence. Fifteen minutes of gruelling scrimmage took place yesterday between the second team and the varsity. The work was unsatisfactory as the varsity was weak In defense and if a better showing is not made today work in the gym will be started. .O'Flynn, the most promising man for sub halfback, injured his shoulder yesterday and will be out of the game for some time.

Journal Special Service. iUew York, Oct. 17.Terry McGovern wlU be either the happiest of the present-day pugilists on Thursday or he will be the saddest man in the east, and all depends upon whether or not he Is successful in beating Young Corbett in their six-round fight which is scheduled to take place before the National Athletic club of Phila delphia tonight. Terry's greatest ambition in life la to wipe out the two defeats he received at the hands of Xoung Corbett, and so anxious is he to land a knockout in this contest that he has trained harder for this fight than he ever did for any other. In form Terry should have no trouble in whip ping his old-time antagonist, but then every time Terry ever fought Corbett his chances were thought to be far better for victory than his opponent's. But Corbett succeeded in landing the winning punch each time, and he declares that he will be able to repeat the trick again. McGovern claims he won't, and each of the fighters has a host of followers and admirers who believe in his ability. The only thing that is liable to cause Mc Govern's defeat this time is the same that con tributed to his downfall in their two previous meetings, and that is that be might lose bis head. It was Terry's inability to keep cool under fire that beat him before, and it is ac knowledged by even his most ardent admirers that Terry is highly excitable even now. His rest in the Berkshires has done wonders for him, and he seems to have more control over himself than he did at the time of his last fight with Corbett. In bis present condition he should have little trouble in emerging victorious from tonight's battle. As for Corbett, he, too, is in much better shape than be has been for some months. But fast living has sapped much of his former wonderful fighting powers, and besides be has felt the knockout punch many times since his last mill with Terry, but the Denverite has, worked hard for this fight and the contest should be one of the fastest seen in quakertown in many a day. The men will fight at catchweights, and will probably weight about 135 pounds each in the ring. GOTGH FAILED TO THROW MATTSON Frank Gotch failed to throw Carl Mattson in ten minutes at the Dewey theater last night, and as a result lost his forfeit of $100. There was a long delay in starting the match, as Mattson bucked at the last minute and refused, to go on unless Gotch would reduce the time limit from fifteen to ten minutes. Mattson claimed that the proposition made him called for ten minutes, and Gotch held that fifteen his time. After considerable wrangling Gotch gave Mattson his way and the match began. For nine minutes Mattson kept the champion guessing, and in the last minute Gotch secured a hold that looked good,' but the AjiuneapolitaiP was equal to the occasion and held out until the time was up. Tonight Gotch will take on Oscar Paulson,. a local heavyweight, and the limit will be fifteen minutes. was FOOTBALL PLAYER DIES SUDDENLY Journal Special Service. Delaware, Ohio, Oct. 17.Lewis A.

Town to Have a New Slide for the Coming Winter. Ishpeming, Mich., Oct. 17.Altho the national ski tournament is to be held this year at Ash land, the Ishpeming club will conduct a big meet on Washington's birthday. This date baa been conceded to' Ishpeming by the officers of the National association, and it is understood that the national meeting will be held earlier, perhaps Feb. 6 or 8. The Ishpeming Ski club is to have a new slide the coming winter. Brasswire hill, which has been used a number of years, is to be abandoned for one immediately east. The hill is one that the officers of the club were desir ous of procuring last winter, but it was feared that it might not be in as good condition for the big tournament as was the old hill. The Cleveland Cliffs Iron company has granted the club the privilege of using the hill, which is not only higher, but also considerably longer than the old one. Considerable work will be necessary to put the slide in condition for Jump ing, but when it is finally rounded ont It will easily surpass anything in America, and it is doubtful if a more desirable site for the big contest is available anywhere in the world. The" new hill is forty feet higher than the Brass-, wire. The length of the new hill is about, 1,000 feet, while the old one from the top of" the scaffold to level ground was only 600 feet. The top of the new hill 1B just 172 feet above the level, while the old, including the trestle, was only 132 feet. It is planned to cut down the slide wherever necessary, giving a 30 degree elevation above the "bump" from which the ski-jumpers will make the leap. In two or three places there is a vertical drop and fill, and the erection of bridges may be necessary at these points. The trees and shrubbery will be cut away so that the spectator will have a clear view of the rider from the time be starts on the descent until he lands. The officers of the club have not yet decided to equip the hill with a trestle at the starting point, as this may not be neces sary. The new slide will be more desirable in many respects than the old. The hill is well protected from the winds, while the weather had to be perfect before the contests were a success on the old slide. On cojd or windy days the spec tators suffered, while the skiers were unable to work well. This was demonstrated on tour nament day last winter, when the wind was so strong the contests had to be postponed until the following, day, much to the disappointment of 10,000 spectators. Carl Tellefsen, founder of the Ishpeming club and the national association's first executive of" ficer, said today that he would be much dis appointed if the big jumps made by the world's record men In Norway are not shattered here the coming winter. "The hill," said Mr. Tellef sen, "will be perfect. There will be a splendid view of the entire .slide from any point within 600 feet or more of the level below the land ing. It will result in giving the ski sport in the upper peninsula, and particularly in this county, a great boost. The club will put the hill in first-class condition for the February meet, and work will be started on it before winter is very far advanced. It will cost a considerable sum to put the hill in condition for the big tournament, but the club is finan cially able to have the work done properly." GRICAGO ASSUMES NORMAL ASPEGT Chicago, Oct. 17.The diminution of the great wave of baseballism which has clasped the city in many-tenacled grasp for the last two months is expected to begin tomorrow. Today witnessed the getaway of President Charles A. Comiskey of the whitesox for a hunting trip in northern Wisconsin. The much talked of banquet given by the board of trade rooters to the National league champions was held tonight and was a com plete success, barring a tinge of gloom cast over the assemblage by the unexpected defeat of the cubs by the whitesox in the recent won derful series. Everybody present tried to cele brate the great feat of the west side in win ning 116 games in the National league, but every time they thought of the four lost to the whitesox their ardor was appreciably dampened. The members of the victorious whitesox are gradually beginning to disappear, but many of them will stay around town and play a few exhibition games. The barnstormers will leave tomorrow morning for Jbliet, where thsf/ will play the first of their exhibition games.
