12 1 'it FIRST SCRIMMAGE ON THE CAMPUS ftudents Interested & First Clash of the Gopher Gridiron Warriors. By O'Loughlln.~ thousand enthusiastic spectators stood ound on the campus at the university yester- afternoonVimd Interfered with the progress "the first scrimmage of the year of the gopher Btball forces. They crowded in. so close to itch the players that end runs were almost it of the question, and back of the lines were fecondary lines of defense, twenty deepso ep in fact, that a mogul engine could not live gained five yards thru them. 'The interference with the play was wholly liilntentional. Not a man on the campus would db anything intentionally to bother or inter fere with the. progress of the team, but it was 4 case where Individual Interest "resulted badly. The gridiron on Northrop field was too soft for tie yesterday without the danger of ruining the rface. The heavy rain of the night before not damaged the field/ but the plowing scrimmage would have had a bad effect upon tfet soft sod. For this reason the candidates tfere taken out in front of the armory for their work. Ir Williams, Assistant. Coach Dobie and 61g Harris were out to look after the men, and aiter dividing- them into three squads sent them trip and down the drill ground for a time in signal practice. 'Headgear was called for and before the spec tators were well aware what' was un the men were in a scrimmage which was marked more ttr its pounding than its precision. The two teams lined up as follows: Marshall.. Left end ....Rogers Ylta... Left tackle Daugherty Smith.... i Left guard Davidson Stafford Center Maul isher. Uiffht guard..Richards. Hengstler Brush Right tackle..Richardson. DonIan Liggett....... Right end.. J. Marshall. Woodriek jarkin Quarter Greaves itting Left half Snyder rsfleld Right half .Sehuchnecht rrent Fullback .Fryekmau. B^st Defense Was Stubborn. Dr. "Williams was behind the veterans, while 5Gete obi encouraged the others with bis well-known ^in there, ptle 'em up." For a time the iiBterans found the opposing line a bit too 'e tiff to their liking Larkiu was new at his ,e gnals, and this caused a little confusion. After 'i- time Brush Irefleld and Liggett began to make headway, and end runs gave gains suf ficient to carry the scrimmage well up and down the field. Dobie"s team put up a stiff defense, and on offense went into the mixing tlgorously. It was all rough and ragged, but no more so than could be expected from the ifirst scrimmage of the year. The most praise worthy feature of the struggling was the deter 'mlnatlon and spirit of the men. The veterans caught their opponents on the charge almost every time, opening up. holes eso quickly that fne new men had time to walk thru after the I man with the ball before the interference had turned the signals over in their minds and Started Into work. It was a good, lively pro ceeding- and the men all came thru it without JWury. JMore lyiaterial Needed. Midweek has not added any particular luster to Minnesota hopes.

I Efficiency. & New York Sun Special Service. Appleton, Wis., Sept. 20.While running from the Lawrence university gymnasium to the football field the squad encountered a hornets' nest. Sherger, the six-foot center, and Wingender, a guard, stepped into the nest and before tfrey could get -ftway were both badly stung 'about the legs. The wasps were unable to penerate the moleskins with their stingers, but made a sav age attack at that part of the body which is covered with stockings. Headgears protected most of their heads, while their arms were used to cover their faces. Sev eral other members of the squad were stung, but XK severely. As blood poisoning often sets in from the stings of wasps, soine fear' the men Will not be in condition for Saturday's game *lth Chicago. #If the team is able to play the makeup will :*t'be decided until the result of the waspt* #tlngs is known, '"v Wednesday Evening, BRINGING ORDER OUT OF CHAOS High School Coaches Make Rapid Progress in Developing Material. By GH. One week ago it required a strong imagi nation to see even the semblance of a football team in the material which South Side sent to Coach Goldblum's moleskin kindergarten. Yes terday It was impossible to overlook the fact that the bunch on the practice grounds were aspirants for gridiron honors. The development made in one week by the raw material mus tered in under the South Side banner is won derful. The long grind necessary to shape even vet erans into a ground-gaining machine Is still ahead, but the hardest part of the work is behind. The candidates have learned that they are out to play football. They have passed the period of self-cohsciousness nnd are following the ball, not debating whether or not they want to play. A number of husky lads are stili hanging on the sidelines apparently waiting for a little coaxing. Coach Goldblum declared his position on the coaxing proposition very em phatically yesterday. He said: "A.man who lias to be coaxed to get out and try for the team is no good. He Is not worth trying out." Backfield Heavy. The men who are turning out to practice are a good lot. The backfield is well un in weight and the line is fast learning to charge low and charge a little sooner than the other fellow. This last lesson^ is being steadily ground into the linemen, and If they keep up as they have begun they will be able to hold men consid erably their superiors in weight by the time the regular games begin. Good men are turning up every day. Hol strom, who played right tackle on the 1903 team, is expected back Monday and has been men tioned for the vacant captaincy. Several other heavy men are now arranging their outside work so thai they will be able to play,' and will be out before the alumni game scheduled for Sept. 29. Manager Solem has also arranged" a game with Mechanic Arts of St. Paul, to be played a week later. Dr. George Goldblum. quarterback on the Chi cago Fhysicians and Surgeons team lu 1901 and 1902, and an alumnus of South high, was out helping with the coaching yesterday. Burgan Is Cautious. North Side will riot play against the university. Coach Burgan is unwilling to risk his men in ft game with players out' of their class, and is op posed to the forced training necessary to put them In shape for such a game a week from today. So far no attempt has been made to divide the srraad Into a first and second team. The men are divided for scrimmage haphazard and every man of the thirty or more ont will be given a tboro trial before any selection is made. In view of the large number of candidates it will be some time before a first team is evolved and even then the men will have to fight to hold their places. Neither Ertle nor Wilkinson, the two most promising candidates for the quarter position, were out yesterday. Green was given a trial on one of the teams and Captain Marks, who was out in a suit for the first time this season, passed the ball for the other. Marks is still a little off condition and will not mix in the more strenuous work for several days. Friday afternoon eleven men picked from the squad will line up against the alumni. This will be a practice game, and Coach Burgan will try out as many men as possible. A week from Fri day the first outside guime will be played. Nego tiations are on wlttr Hamiine, Macalester and St. Thomas, and one of the three will be the' opposing team. East Side^s" Heavy Line. East Side is to haye a heavy line. A tough estimate places the average weight of the whole team at 1T0 pounds, and the line will probably go a little above this. Coach Wyman is still following out the "hurry up" line of campaign with which he-started, andIs University1 avenue bunch getting the idea speed developed to the point of instinct. Central is now practicing three hours a day in preparation for the university contest-Satur day. The players did n6t leave the field until 6 o'clock last night and Coach -Morse plans to keep school till i--tonight. The tryout is well along. Every candidate has been. given a chance and the first lineup for Saturday's game Is practically settled.1- New men with football experience on some other school team are turning up dally. The latest addition to the red and blue squad is Sem ple. formerly of Hill school. He made his first appearance yesterday and did some work which promised well for the future. Enthusiasm in the school is high and there will be no lack of loyal rooters to cheer on Captal'i Dickenson's cohorts when they go against the varsity Hue. ECKERSALL HAS AN ADDED DDTY Will Try to Score Goals After Touchdowns by a Drop Kick. Chicago. Sept. 20.Walter Eckersall is likely to have new and original duty to shoulder in the games this fall. It is a duty in the kicking line at which the maroon quarterback Is most proficientnamely, of kicking goals from touch downs. Instead of boosting the oval over the cross-bar from placement, as is the most common method of adding the extra point. Eckersall will drop-kick the pigskin over, provided Coach Stagg decide* to let him add this feature to his kick ing game. According to the gridiron rules, the drop kick for a try at goal IS a legitimate proced-, ure, tho until last Saturday it had never been seen on Marshall "field. Eckersall then tools advantage of the apparently forgotten ruling, and after the maroon candidates had scored their third touchdown of the afternoon against North Division, he sent the ball sailing over the goal in easy fashion with a drop-kick. Since the days of Hershberger. Stagg has never been favored with a reliable, consistent goal-kicker, despite his repeated attempts to develop one. Walter Kennedy in 1899 proved hims-'lf a competent man ip this department at the blose of the season, but early in the year was a crude goal-kicker. Jimmy Henry in 1900 was fair and in 1901. 1002 and 1903 no maroon showed above the ordinary. As a goal-klcker from placement Eckersall himself is a com plete failure, Stagg.having tried him out time and time again. In the art of drcp-klcklng, however, "Eckie" Is a nastmaster. He has proved himself the superior of any man in the west, if not in the e*ire country, in this respect during his two years' service at'the Midway. For him to stand on the forty-yard line and register a percentage of close to .900 out of fifty attempts from all the angles is no task. Naturally it is even eas ier for him to send the ball over the goal from the fifteen-yard line, where the rulings declare that th? attempt at goal should be made. Of course the kicker is allowed to move back as far as be may desire from this line. MAY TEY TACKLE Shevlin's Weight May Cause Shift in Yale's Line. New Haven, Conn., Sept. 20.The most in teresting piece of campus gossip in evidence at Yale is that Captain Shevlln will shift one place in the line and become a tackle. He tried for fullback last season, but soon dropped back into his position at end.. His weight is a factor that makes him needed as tackle, ami it is thought here .that Jils quickness and strength will make him a valuable man as a ball-advancing tackle.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 20.The inception of foot ball practice at Nebraska university was at tended by distressing weather conditions, but Booth, the head coach, had shaken off some of the discouragement which had seized him at the South Bend training camp, and was' in good spirits. More than thirty men were 1n uniform. A dozen other candidates were on the side lines und twice as many more are expected to reach Lincoln before the end of the week. Booth Is figuring that he will have upwards of sixty men from which to pick his first team. The persistent rains of the past week had converted the gridiron into a veritable quagmire, and the players had gone thru only a few min utes of practice when they were bedraggled from bead to foot with black Nebraska .mud. The,, players were divided into two squads, Booth taking one in charge and assigning the other to Captain Borg. The gridiron at Ne braska is notoriously the hardest in the west, and before the end of each season its granitelike surface has been responsible for the Injury of many players. To mend this situation, Booth inspired the athletic board to plow the field early in the summer and sow it to millet. The hay was cut early this month, leaving a healthy stubble and a soft field which should not hardeff until late in the season. Booth figures that the soft field will make the plays decidedly slower, but visiting teams will be handicapped as badly as the cornhuskers. High scores nat urally will scarcely bew possible, but the elimi nation of most of the danger *of injuring'play ers should more than counterbalance the factor of slowness in' the plays. The roll of candidates has been strengthened by the addition of one or two.new huskies,'hut there is no denying that men of pronounced avoirdupois are still very much in demand. Mean while Slatf, Taylor and Nelson,"the only guard possibilities at the training camp, are the only men of promise who have yet appeared upon the' campus. Captain Borg declares that others have given assurance that they will be hi school, and Booth is anxiously awaiting their' arrival before he will venture an opinion as to Ne braska's chances for the. season. i Cptton, the Wg right .tackle, who crossed the Minnesota's goal last year for the' first touch down registered ngalnst' the gophers, and wild blocked the place kick which enabled Bender to scoot down the field, for the other, was in line for the opening campus practice. Cotton has been rusticating in Colorado during tht summer, climbing mountain peaks to keep his weight down, and he is already in fairly good physical trim. He brought the information that' Caley, who played a Superb halfback for Colo rado university and had expected to register at Nebraska to take football under Booth, had decided not to become a cornhusker. He will, however, retire from football, as It is his pur pose to enter into a matrimonial contract. Admitting that the line furnishes more or less of a problem, Booth was well pleased with the initial practice, and at its conclusion de clared that the array of new material was as good as he had ever seen upon the Nebraska campus. His elation was prompted chiefly by the fine-prospects as to backs and ends. Nearly a dozen youngsters, fast and well built, available either as backs or ends, were out in moleskins and bidding for places. Inasmuch as the" end and backfield situation was satisfactory even at the South Bend eamp. Booth now has a wealth of material for': those positions from which he is quite confident that he will be able to develop several high-class men. Toward the end of the practice Booth had sorted out a varsity line-up and was running the men thru signals. Scrimmage practice will not be undertaken until almost the eve of the Grand Island collejge game Saturday. At least two men were tried out In each" line position, Captain Borg at cen ter nnd Johnson at end alone excepted, and it is much too early to venture a prediction as to the probable make-up of the line for next Sat urday. is reasonably certain,, that Morse i* the season at quarter with Wilso and Beek^y as t\YQ of the backs. Beekly and Morse-, are* both. 7pi%iising as kickers, and one of this pair will da the punting. v.- Booth has not entirely abandoned bopejof in ducing former Captain Benedict Nebraska' chief reliance as a punter, to get back into a.

The' injury to Benedict's knee last year prompted his parents to object to an other seasoh of football until It, had permanently, mended, altho a younger son. who will be lit hig freshman year, has'iee already joined the Pressure has been brought to bearpreclndesqnadg unon BenJf diet parents, fortified by medical assurance **.J1 should $hf kne likelihood* of a' permanent inTurv.. and Boottr is now quite hopeful that Benedict will .sodfi be In line.

With the new rules in force,. and strictly, adhered to, there is no reason why in future the colleges of South Dakota should not meet on common ground and. pull off- track meets and football and baseball games without dis sension. The authorities of the state university pro pose to live up to the. eligibility rules in eyerv respect, and the players Will have to abide bV their decision. The big sticking point for some of the men will be the scholarship requirement. A student who does not keep his studies up to the required standard will not be permitted to enter athletics, There will be no ifs or ands about it. And those who leave school toward the close of the year without taking the- final examinations, will, be Jjarred for the followins year.

This country smoked 300,000-tons of tobacco last year. We smoked 7,689 337*000 cigars, an increase of 185,000,- 000 over last year. The cigaret con sumption was 3,368,212,000, an increase of over 141,000,000 over last year. The snuff output was 21,131,000 pounds, an increase of nearly 1,000,000 pounds over the previous year.. The production of smoking and chewing tobacco was 334,- 489,000 pounds, ah increase of 2 per cent. These are the figures of the To bacco Leaf. The total value of the to bacco consumption in 1900 was $263,- 977,000, cigars and cigarets costing over $160,000,000. The increase in thetackling tobacco industry is shown by the fig ures of the last' twenty years.' In 1880 the value of the total produce was, in round numbers, $116,000,000 in 1890 it was $195,000,000 in 1900 it was $263,- 000,00. Last year.it was probably $300,- 000,000. Last year we exported $37,- 000,000 worth of tobaceo and imported $22,000,000 worth in its various forms. This is a tobacco-using nation. So many people smoke it is not difficult to imagine what becomes of over 7,000,- 000,000 cigars and* over 3.000,000,000 cigarets, but what is done with 21,000,- 000 pounds of snuff? Who, uses it? There is still a considerable demand for snuff in the backw6]bds'' districts, and it is still used by women in the more re mote rural regions, and mountain sec tions of the south, but this would ac count foi only a small part of 21,000,- 000 pounds.

KEEP IN EYE ON ^RUBEWADDE LL Big Pitcher Is Watched Carefully by Connie Mack's Special Emissary. New York Sun Special Service. New York, Sept. 20.Undoubtedly the condi tion of "Rube" Waddell, the big Philadelphia pitcher, and the number of games he will pitch against the giants next month, if the two teams play for the world's championship, will affect the betting on the series more than any other one thing. Recently a number of queries from fans have been received. They do not know how to ligure "Rube" in the wagers that are now being laid. The fact that he has not pitched since he was defeated at Boston ten days ago in a thirteen-Inning game has started the rumor that Waddell will pitch no more this season. There is not a doubt that "Rube" will cut a big ligure in the series. Just now he has a sprained shoulder caused by falling over a grip in the sleeper between Boston and Philadelphia the other night when the players were having their annual straw-hat "cut up." The shoulder still bothers "Rube!' a bit, but he is here with the team and may pitch today or tomorrow. However, Manager Mack will not work Waddell unless satisfied that he is in good shape.. He, however, believes that Rube can be relied upon to take part In the big games. Rube is more important than a prima donna with her maid. The club is carrying an extra man who acts as "Rube's" keeper. Frank New house, trainer of many fighters, including Young Corbett," "Battling" Nelson, "Mike" Schreck and Benny Yanger, is the faithful watchman. He has trained several ball clubs, imd does a little rubbing on the side, but as the athletics are in good condition, Newhouse's prin cipal labor is the care of Waddell. He car ries the money and doles out enough to enable the eccentric pitcher to make small purchases. Here in New York Newhouse has redoubled his vigilance, as it is feared that some agents of the giants may undertake to lead the big fel low astray and "keep him In pickle" until after the big game. Whenever Rube and Newhouse walk up to a bar and order two drinks Newhouse gets side both while Rube wipes his mouth with the if 1 I*, m. accordingout- 5houl(3er. th e,J?.a and Vb^BO E Chicago S 0 0 1 0 0 *8 0 Cincinnatril 0 0003000 36 11 0 ^,S Chicago,4Weimer0 Reulbach16 and eesFo E Des Moines ...-.-....2 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 *3 5 Pueblo i. 0-0 O'O'O'O 0 01 3 2 BatteriesManske and Wolfe Hutter and Minor.

Woman's Life. Give your maid as good wages as you can pay her regularly, or give her reasons wh}' she should wait. Do not expect her to be a mind reader, but tell her just what you want done. Give her as pleasant a room as pos sible, and let her have time to keep it in order. Do not talk as if your own was the only right way to do things. Never allow children to treat her with disrespect or make her unneces sary work. A command given in an abrupt, dis agreeable tone will often make her an gry "and unhappy. If you like her, tell her so sometimes. If she is cross or irritable, be pa tient with her. She may be suffering acutely, mentally or phvsically. Never reprimand her before children or strangers. Always say "Good morn ing" and "Good night.'' Always say "please" and "thank you" when yon ask her to do anything for you, and insist upon the children doing the same.
