SOLL OF FOOTBALL IS
ALREADY VERY LARGE
F " (By B. F. Burkhardt.)
Sevdi~ i ad Sixty-three injured!
This Is to toll already exacted by
American football this fall.
* With the football season but half
over, it is apparent that the number
of casualties from the great fall sport
will at least equal that of last year.
In 1913 14 players lost their lives on
the football field, while the number of
injuries ran well over the century
mark.
It is significant that, of the seven
deaths, four occurred in high school
games, two in independent team con
tests and one in a college interclass
match, None of the players killed
were members of carefully drilled
school or college squads. Apparently
the lack of proper medical supervis
ion, in all cases, was responsible, par
tially at least, for the fatal accidents.
Few Collegians Hurt.
But two college players of the mul
tittade of collegiate football squads
have been badly hurt this fall. Atwood
Violet, a scrub halfback at Yale. was
seriously hurt in making a tackle re
cently. J. 13. Coleman, fullback of the
Central Ientucky university eleven,
was perhaps fatally injured last week
in a game his team played with Van
derbilt university.
Hard tackles in the open field seem
to have succeeded the old style mass
formations as the most productive of
fatal accidents. Five of the seven
deaths so far this season were directly
attributed to hard falls after tackles
in the open. The other two resulted
from the piling up of players after at
tempted mass plays. One player was
fatally hurt when his back was broken
in such a play, and another was
kicked in the stomach, death resulting
shortly afterward.
Open Game a Safer.
The adoption of the "open" game by
the larger colleges and universities in
preference to the old line-plunging is
thought to be responsible for the com
paratively small number of fatalities
in the last few years.
The yearly totals which used to be
up around 50 dead and many times
that number injured have dwindled to
an average of about a dozen each
year. In the last four years the total
has not exceeded 14, while in 1912 but
10 deaths resulted from the gridiron
game.

GO right to your dealer and
Gget a pouch of "Right-Cut"
--the Real Tobacco Chew.
It will give you better satisfaction
than the old kind and last you longer
and taste better.
It's a new blend of mellow, sappy leaf
-seasoned and sweetened just enough.
Take a very small chew-less than one-quarter the
old size. It will be more satisfying than a mouthful
of ordinary tobacco. Just nibble on it until you find
the strength chew that suits you. Tuck it away.
Then let it rest. See how easily and evenly the real
tobacco taste comes, how it satisfies without irindnla, how
much less you have to spit, how few chews you take to
be tobacco satisaed. That's why it is The Real Tobeaco
Chew. That's why it costs less in the end.

LOYOLA WARRIORS
PLAY HELENA
SATURDAY
ELEVEN FROM MISSOULA CATHO
LIC HIGH SCHOOL WILL MEET
MOUNT ST. CHARLES TEAM
The Loyola high school football
team is hard at work pieparing for
the game to be played in Helena
iagainst the Mount St. ,Clarles college
ion Saturday.
The Loyola eleven this year is said
ýo be better than any which has yet
represented the institution and Coach
Higgins is confident that his men will
"be able to give the heavy St. Charles
men the hardest game they will have
this season.
On Friday the Loyola men will leave
Missoula. Before that tame the grid
)iron battlers will be given the hard
est kind of workouts and gotten in
shape. The Catholtc high school has
,been greatly handicapped this season
as it has been difficult to get a full
.schedule of games. .o.wvever, the
'second string men of the institution
have been loyal and have given the
"big" eleven much valuable practice
in scrimmage work.
The St. Charles college game is
looked upon as the most important on
the schedule of the Loyola team and
the outcome of the contest will be
watched with much interest by the
supporters of the Missoula school. The
St. ('harles team feels that it has a
reputation to make in this game, be
ing a new institution, and the Loyola
men will make the collegians fight
hard for all the honor they get.

PHYSICAL CONDITION OF MEN
ON ROCHESTER CLUB IS
PRONOUNCED GOOD
With the arrival of "Monk" Mooney
from Butte, all of the participants in
Jimmie Piquett's card for tomorrow
evening -are in the city ready for the
fracas.
The men who will battle at the Ro
chester were examined ,before the
medical board appointed by the state
boxing commission yesterday, after
noon. Every man proved to be in ex
cellent physical trim and each was
given permission to engage in fistic
encounter.
Last night the fans gathered In
numbers to witness the training.
"Monk" Mooney and Art Allard trained
together, Collins pairing with the new
ly arrived Soldier Gomez. Mooney is
a tough little fellow and he made a
very good showing even against the
bullish Allard. The two worked out
in thorough fashion as did their re
spective opponents.
Jack Collins*' --m continues to im
prove amazingly. He is in splendid
form and his bout with Allard will
be his best. A few weeks ago Allard
and he went a draw at Hamilton, and
this bout should decide which is the
better of the two.
Soldier Gomez is unknown here but
he appears to be an experienced man
and indications are that he is a hard
man to beat.
Collins and Allard will battle twelve
rounds; Mooney and Gomez eight.

COAST DIRECTORS
LAY PLANS FOR
NEXT SEASON
SALARY LIMIT IS REDUCED AND
ALSO NUMBER OF PLAYERS
FRANCHISE DESIRED
San Francisco, Oct. 27.-By fixing
$5,000 as the monthly salary limit for
each of the six teams and by cutting
the number of players allowed each
club from 20 to 18, the directors of the
Pacific coast league, who concluded
their annual meeting here today, took
the first steps in a policy of retrench
ment deemed necessary by President
A. T. Baum, who admits that the sea
son just closed has been a disastrous
one from a pecuniary viewpoint.
A committee was appointed to con
sider the applications of Salt Lake
City, San Jose, San Diego, Seattle and
Sacramento for the franchise forfeited
by the Sacramento-Mission club.
The directors decided that the 1915
season will open March 23 and close
October 17. Adjournment was taken
until February 17.

BRUINS RE TO HAVE SEC.ET PRACTICE
EACH DAYUNTIL AFTER THE AGGIE GAME
Coaches Nissen and, Heilmau
Believe , Scouts Eron
Farmer 5amp Are on Job
and Precaution Will Be
Taken - Workout of Last
Evening Best One in a
Long Time-Aggies Come
Today.
Beginning this evening, the univer
sity football team will be put through
secret practice every day until after
the Montana Aggie game.
This announcement was made last
night by Coaches A. G. Heyman and
Jerry Nissen, :who are drilling the
Bruins, for, the championship of the
state. In explanation, the coaches
stated that they do not desire to
dampen the ardor of supp6rters of the
Bruins but they must have their
workouts in secret because of the
suspected presence of scouts from the
Farmer camp. Also, the number of
spectators who are turning out each
night and flocldng out on the gridiron,
has in a degree hampered the prac
tices of the university team. The
coaches desire it understood that they
do not wish to offend anyone by their
action. They hope that all the foot
ball fans will see the necessity of se
cret practice if the Bruins are to take
the Aggie host into camp as they
have done formnany years.
"PS," Is sBack
Last evening'\ the workout of the
university football team was by far
the best that lis been held since the
conflict agaia. the University of
Idaho eleven. LCore than enough men
for two full t' s turned out and the
"pep" in the scrim age clashes was
like old times on Montana field. The
men seemed to have more heart than
they have had 'since the first week of
work this fall. Guerin and Bentz, in
the tackle positions on the varsity,
were the stars of the drill and broke
through the 'scrub" line almost at
will. Guerin "p'oved to be especially
effective in carrying the ball on tackle
plays. At end, .Shei'dan played a
heady, consistent' game and the gains
around him were few, and far be
tween. Sheridan now has the nack
of "smearing" the interference and
getting the man with the ball. Gault
played on the opposite wing in place
of Clarke, who 'is disabled, and filled
the crack end's shoes in a manner
altogether creditable.
The varsity was kept on the defense
practically all the time devoted to
scrimmage work and the scrubs could
not advance the ball with much suc
cess.
Sanderson was used in the back
field in place of Vance and the coach
es discovered that they have a good
substitute for the back field. Sander
son has been the victim of many in
juries this season and last evening
was the first opportunity he has had
to show his ability.
c Among the men who made is pos
siblo for the Bruins to go through a
good workout last night were: Bow
lman, a freshman, who shows- ability to
engage in gridiron conflicts; Suchy,
ho has returned to the squad after
an enforced absence; Nesbit and W.
Brown, both of whom have been kept
away from football by circumstances
over which they had no control.
Coaches Pessimistic
While the outlook is bright this
morning for a team up to the season's
standard, the coaches are a bit pessi
mistic over the outcome of the Utah
Aggie game, which will be played on
Friday. Both mentors of the Bruins
-hold the opinion that the two recent
and crushing defeats of the Utah
Farmers have but served to make the
visiting eleven willing to fight harder
for laurels. Neither Heilman or Nis
sen think that the men from Utal
will be a lunch for the Bruins. They
know that Old Man Jinx is hand in
glove with the Utah Aggies and Mon
tana has never beaten the men from
the south since athletih relations were
established several years ago. Mon
tana's coaches are fearful lest the
players become over-confident and
lose Friday's battle through careless
ness.
Aggies Come Today
The Utah Aggles are due to' arrive
in Missoula this evening at 5:38
o'clock on the Milwaukee. They have
been in Spokane, where they were
badly beaten by Gonzago, Saturday.
A large delegation of Montana stu
dents will be at the station and plans
for a rousing reception are being
made. The visitors will practice at
the university and the ball park in
preparation for Friday's game.

JACK DILLON
Being turown out of the Ling at
St. Louis the other night for lukewarm
ring effort wasn't exactly a novelty
to Jack Dillon. A couple of years ago
Dillon was matched against Eddlie Mc
Goorty at New Orleans. The day of the
bout Jack showed up with a huge boll
on his right forearm, but he insisted
he was able to go through with the
bout. That night he stalled and cov
ered up so that the referpe stopped
the proceedings in the to th and
called it no contest. Then,.,ozy a few
weeks back Dillon cakewalked through
a 10-round go at Kalamazoo against
Bert Fagin. There was also his
eight-round farce &t Windsor last
spring, when he refused to knock out
the helpless Freddy Hicks. Maybe
Jack's too tender hearted.

Chicago, Oct. 4:.-"Tni re will be

Charles A. Comiskey, the White Box
magnate, made that remark in the
course of a discussion of the year's dis
-asters in the national game.
Comiskey is one of the few big
league magnates supposed to have
made money during the late and most
lamented baseball s'eason. the fact
that his books show a profit is due, of
course, to Commy'e remarkable per*
sonal followirig, whooh .will stand by

company.

But right now Comiskey stands tp
lose every dollar he made last year,
for an effort to hold that "personal
following" he has signed his name to,
the most remarkable collection of one
sided baseball" contracts in the history
of the game.
To avert a raid by the Federals,
and purely as a matter of professional
pride, he has hired for a period of
years a gang of what a member of
the Sox team calls "baseball bums," i
next year, but who are signed and
sealed to receive salaries they cannot
earn.
What is Comiskey going to do with
this excess baggage?
COACH OF WASHINGT ON AND JEFFERSON
PICKS HARVARD TO WALLOP MICNIGAN"
Michigan hasn't a ghost of a chance
to win from Harvard- this year, ac
cording to Bob Folwell, coach of the
Washington and Jefferson eleven. He
says the game is in already for the
Crimson. Folwell ought to know
something about the Harvard ma
chine, for it snatched a victory away
from his team in the very last few
moments of play.
"Harvard is potentially ca stronger
team than Michigan," explains Fol
well, "and it is splendidly coached in
the fundamentals of football. The
Crimson team was by no means at top
form 'when we played it, but by the
time of the Michigan game. Haugh
ten's eleven will be in shape.
"Yost may have a chance with a
forward pass. Harvard seems, to have
little or no real defense against this
play and we worked it several times
for long gains. Probably before tack
ling Michigan, though, Harvard's de
fense will be better. They ought to
know up at Cambridge that Yost will
pull something along this line.
"Harvard plays a kicking game, and
it is good, too. The punter gets fine
protection, and the kicks are covered
admirably, four men going down un
der punts. Sometimes thre men hit
Spiegel all at once, almost putting
him out of business.
"Don't think Harvard plays a 'kid
glove' game. The Crimson plays a
fierce game all the time, roughing the
opponents whenever opportunity of
fers. Harvard is out to win all the
time and doesn't care how victory
comes. Haughton keeps shooting in
fresh men and they wear out any or
dinary tealr in this way."
Bob Folwell played football at Penn
sylvania and was considered one of
the best forwards in his day. His
opinion is worth much. He says that
in his time he never found the Har
vard line so very strong, but that
under Haughton's coaching the Crim
son line is one of the toughest in the
country.
