Minnesota is rapidly Retting a
nam? among eastern football critics.
"Referee" in the last number of Town
Topics gives 5Jig Harris of the gopher
eleven the position as quarterback on
the All-American, team. As only one
other western man, Heston of Michi
gan, Is put on the first eleven, and
only two, Maddock of Michigan and
Salmon of Notre Dame, on the second,
this is a signal honor for the stocky
Minnesota quarter. "Referee" has the
following to say of the westerners:

backs and do his share of the rushing and
punting. Hlg line will know that he will
protect the goal from runners breaking
clear and that ha will run back every
punt sent to him for a gain. Heston's
powerful plunges will be only equaled by
his marvelous work in the secondary de
fenbe. In the rushing game we have Hes
ton Foulke, Mitchell, Hogan, Turner and
DeWitt. It would be unreasonable to ask
a better sextet, for they combine weight,
speed, tremendous strength and marvelous
endurance Then, too, {hey would have
the help of a wonderful line. So much for
line plunging plays Heston and Foulke
are equally adept at end running and It is
aeldom that you see such speed In men so
big and powtiful. Then all the other men
arc fast enough to make end pla suc
cessful if they ever could be. Harris Is
fast enough and heady enough to bring off
any tricks. Thus our offensive game lacks
neither speed, power nor versatility.

SPORTS.
SEES MUCH HA R1
V-, IN ATHLETICS
NOTE OP-WARNING FROM CHAIR
MAN O P PA. COMMITTEE, ,
Dr. Edgar F . Smith Says College
Sports Take Attention of Students
From Move Serious AffairsSug
gestion for Elimination of Evil of
Procuring Athletes.
Philadelphia, Deo. 21.The college
football game is now coming in for a
world of censure. Dr. EJdgar F.
Smith, vice president of the University
of Pennsylvania and chairman of the
faculty committee on athletics, is out
with the following statement:
"After many yearB of close associ
ation with intercollegiate athletics I
feel that to-day the excessive enthusi
asm worked up over athletics, during
the football season in particular, is
positively harmful to the proper con
duct of the studies. I find that most
men, whether athletes or not, do not
get down to serious work until after
the season is over, and that many of
the faculty are affected in the same
way. There is too much publicity
given to the boys, and they often fail
to realize the true meaning of their
stay in college.
"Then, I believe that many men
have their lives ruined by athletics.
Take members of the football teams
they graduate, but many of them take
uj coaching for several years because
they can make far more money coach
ing than in any other line. Thus their
minds are taken away from the real
object of life, and after five, or per
haps ten years they find that they are
no longer able to coach, and they are
unfitted for their professions.
"One of the most lamentable cases
that I call to mind iH that of George
Woodruff. He was a man of excep
tional intellect, yet where is he to
day? Useless as a football coach and
out of joint with all other work. Very
few men actually go into professional
athletics, but by spending the best
years of their lives as coaches many
valuable boys are nearly lost.
"I do not know a remedy for ex
isting affairs. There is, a great good in
intercollegiate sport, and, quite aside
from the sporting features, it keeps
many men occupied Avho might devote
themselves to worse pleasures. The
desire to win is so great that m^n
scour the country for star players,
and in this way the element of sport
is dwarfed, for the average man,
knowing that'men are being procured
or sought after for every place on the
football team, is apt not to try for the
team, and thus exercise is not so gen
eral as it should be, but is confined
to a few exceptionally strong men.
"One rule that I have had in mind
for some time would, I thmk, help out
the situation so far as the procuring
of athletes goes, and that is, to forbid
any man from repz'esentmg a univer
sity who has ever before represented
a degree-granting institution. I should
like to see this rule put in force here
at Pennsylvania, and I believe that it
jvould benefit our athletics in the end.
The athletic tramp is a danger to
pure athletics, and I would be glad to
see him eliminated."

Coach A. A. Stagg of the University
of Chicago, leaves to-night for Chlor
ide, N. M., in search of health ana
vigor.
Stagg does not,go on this long trip
of his own free will. Only on the ad
vice of his physician, the urging of
his family and the persuasion, of many
friends at the university have in
duced the director of Midway athlet
ics to go away.
In speaking of the probable foot
ball schedule for the maroons for
next season, Coach Stagg said that but
two games were certainly scheduled
so farWisconsin on Thanksgiving
Day, and Michigan, at Ann Arbor, on
Nov. 13. Northwestern will, of course,
be played as usual. Stagg says he will
be glad to go to Evanston to play if
the Northwestern people want the
game played there. - -
Stagg has received letters from Dr.
Williams of Minnesota -ani from -Ne-
braska, Kansas and West Point re
garding games for next year, but has
not ye't been able to do anything to
ward completing final arrangements.
He cannot say anything definite now
about his final schedule.

International polo played for tbe world's cham

features of the St. Loins fair next year. For
some time past the national polo officials hare
heeti in communication "with the leading Ger
man, French and British teams and of the, trio
the Germans^ have practically decided to come
over to play In the exposition stadium, for the
world's Championship. The British forces have
not yet definitely declined to make the trip, but
want, of course, to bring the best team they
can muster for the tourney.
The St Louts polo club will hare charge of
all airangement* in the matter, haying been
delcgatid by Chairman H. L. Herbert and the
executive committee qf the National Polo as
sociation for the affair. To meet the Britishers

The entries for the second annual
international automobile meet, under
the auspices of the Florida East Coast
Automobile association, promise to
eclipse in number those of any previ
ous meet entry. Much interest is cen
tered in the speed W. K. Vanderbilt,
Jr., will make in the mile. It is free
ly predicted th,at his previous world's
record of 48 seconds, made in France,
will suffer by at least 5 seconds,
which will make Mr. "Vanderbilt beat
the* present world's record by 3 sec
onds, as it now stands at 46 seconds.
M. J. Morgan, who attended the Gor
den-Bennett international race in Ire
land last summer, asked many of the
French automobilists whom they con
sidered was the fastest American
driver, and they all accorded that
honor to W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., and
maintained that he should have been
one of the drivers representing the
Americans in the international race.
Henry Fournier, the great French
driver, told a New York friend -that
he considered that Mr. Vanderbilt had
a good deal more nerve than he,
Fournier, had, and spoke of Mr. Van
derbilt's saluting his wife by raising
his cap while going a mile a minute.
Fournier said that he would not dare
do such a thing.
An important event has been se
cured for the tournament at Ormond
beach, and that is a meeting of the
National Good Roads association,
which will convene at Ormond during
the automobile tournament, and the
date "will probably be Jan. 28 and 29.
Among the prominent visitors from
across the water at the Florida tour
nament, Jan. 25 to Feb. 6, -will be
Sir Thomas Dewar, ex-sheriff of Lon
don, who, in the course of time, will
be lord mayor, if he lives. Sir Thomas
has a large stable of automobiles,
among them being a well-known
American machine. Sir Thomas is a
well-known sportsman, and fo years
has had a candidate for derby honors.
He has often been seen automobiling
with King Edward as a guest. Fred

The officers of the various boat clubs compos
ing the Iowa Amatejr Rowing association will
probably hold a meeting in January for the pur
pose of reviving interest in the annual state
legatta No legatta was held in 1902 or last
summer, and fear Is expressed that unless some
action is taken to arouse Interest in the annual
legattas the association will go to pieces.
Beyond doubt a regatta will be held at Clear
Lak-e next August, as there has been much cor
respondenco going on among the officers of the
various clubs in the association, and all are
unanimously in favor of entering junior and
senior crews next year. The finances of the as
sociation are in gjo condition, and there is no
reason why this rjmrt that has become so popu
lar in Iowa shonlti not be revived. It is prob
able, however, that not as many rews will
compete in the various events at Clear Lake
us in previous years.
The second game between the Victorias of St.
Paul and the Portage Lake team was played on
