GOPHERS LOOK
GOOD TO CRITICS
St. Louis Expert Thinks Minne
sota 1906 Will Be Greatest
in West.
The football expert of the St. Louis Globe
Democrat thinks well of Minnesota's 1906 foot
ball prospects. In Monday's paper he writes
as follows.
The shadow of the Minnesota gopher Is al
ready falling across the trail of the wolverine
and the badger. It Is several years since he
first caught the scent, but, according to present
signs, he will try to make his kill next fall
on whatever football fields he can induce his
rivals to meet him.
This year the gopher -was strong. Fumbles
and mishaps helped to his downfall in a skir
mish with the badgers at Minneapolis. The
eleven of bis tribe showed excellent football,
except for fumbling of punts, and the eleven
badgers were fortunate to get away with
scant victory.
Ne\t year the gophers will rally for an e
pecial effort. Graduations and the four-year rule
will cause the loss to the team of but one
roan, and, with a wealth of new material In
the freshman class that entered this year and
eligible next season, the authorities hope fox
victory over Wisconsin, Michigan and Chicago,
provided games with those elevens can be se
cured.
The spell of Wolverene Tost, broken this year
by Chicago's splendid defensive stand, will no
longer awe the west. It has been shown that
other coaches can handle football squads.
Badger's Claws Drawn.
For the badger will go to battle shorn of many
of his claws. Seven will be absent when
Badger King counts the roll next fall. Those
who will answer include the greatest on the
teamBertke, Flndlay and Donovan, all western
men Vanderboom, Bush, Kemp and Melzner
The Michigan eleven will lose Dunlap, Longman,
Scbulte, Norcross and Hammondleaving holes
i that even Tost will find trouble filling. Chicago
Is also unfortunate, and will miss Catlin, Shertjr,
Bezdek:, Hitchcock and Gale, and will be almost
s unfortunate as her sister teams.
I Thus it can be understood why the gopher is
i crouching for the spring. Last year Minnesota
was denied games with Chicago and Michigan.
Possibly one or both of these elevens will ar
range struggles with Minnesota. In any case
two of the big three will probably give battle
to the Minnesota eleven and thus give a strong
enough line on the championship to settle it by
I comparison.
It hardly seems possible that one of the minor
conference college elevens will be strong enough
to break into the ranks as a rival of the
bigmembers
three, urdue showed an excellent team this
season, and will lose but few men, three being
dated for departure. The team did not have
quite enough class to it this year to break into
championship- caliber rank, and will have to be
mltted from calculations.
Iowa Won't Do.
Iowa was not in a class with the larger teams
of the west this season, as shown by decisive
I defeats of 35 and 42 to 0 by Minnesota and
I Chicago. In addition Iowa will lose four good
i men, and recruiting facilities there are not the
I same as at the larger Institutions. Indiana
had a fine team last year that was just a trifle
short of championship quality. It will lose only
three men, but, like the other lesser lights,
cannot be figured in the race. Illinois and
Northwestern were so weak this year that they
seem hardly worth considering.
Minnesota, therefore, seems to have a chance
to best her rivals from Madison, and make a
bettermake
showing than
Michigarecruit
Tost, however,
will heroic efforts to an aggrega
tion that will win, and despite the loss of so
many stars, can be relied upon to have a team
that will be in at the death.

Journal Special Service.
Chicago, Dec. 6.Eckersall, the greatest
quartetback in the -west, was elected captain
of the University of Chicago football team for
next year at a meeting of the "C men held
yesterday afternoon at the Midway. Two other
of the teamGale, center, and Parry,
left endwere also nominated for the honor, but
Eckersall was the choice when It came to the
showdown
The varsity team had its picture taken in
the afternoon on the steps of Kent laboratory,
according to custom, and seventeen men were
in the group, De Tray being absent. The able
"C" -men snapped were Captain Catlin, Hill,
Meigs, Gale, Russell, Badenoch, Parry, Ecker
sall, Walker, Hitchcock, Bezdek, Scherer, Noll,
Larsen, Williamson, Harper and Booze.
The western trip has not been definitely de
cided upon as^ yet, due to the fact that no ingophers
vestigation has been received from any of thefor
proper institutions with which a game could
be played.
MICHIGAN WILL
NOT CUT PRICES
High Priced PootbaU Needed to
Finish Up the Big Athletic
Field.
Ann Arbor, Mich., Dec. 6.It is almost an
hei representative to vote against the flat rate
of 50 cents for admission and seat to football
games when the conference committee meets
next June for final determination of the ques
tion.
The plans for the-development and equipment
of the twenty-seven acres comprising Ferry field
contemplate an expenditure of $75,000 or $100,-
000*. To biing the price down to 50 cents would
cut off an immense revenue. People are moie
willing to pay the e\tra price to see Chi
cago or Wisconsin play. Again, it Is felt that
to make a rate of 50 cents would give Chicago,
with its immense money resources, a whip hand
and the other colleges could not keep up as
good an equipment

The following Central players have been grant

and it is probable that it will be accepted. The
St. Paul club has offered an appropriate tropjhy
for the match. i
There Is considerable enthusiasm among the

WANT GOPHERS TO
PLAY AT LINCOLN
Nebraskans Think it Time that
Minnesota Returns the
Visits.
Special to The Journal.
Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 6Schedule casting for
the football season of 1906 is already claiming
the attention of the athletic authoiities at Ne
braska university. Football, Manager Morrison
was present at the lecent conference powwow
in Chicago and sounded several of the "bigfists
nine" representatives on the subject of taking
on the cornhuskers. Nebraska is under con
tract to play Illinois in Champaign. The Illjni
have played Booth's pupils for three successive
Thanksgivings, but the arrangement whereby
the cornhuskers are to go to Champaign next
year means that Nebraska must look elsewhere
for a Thanksgiving day foe in 1906.
Nebraska's negotiations for "big nine" games
next season probably will be confined to Michi
gan, Minnesota and Northwestern. The senti
ment is strong in the Nebraska camp that the
ought to come to Lincoln next year
the Thanksgiving game. The last four
games between the cohorts of Williams and
Booth have been played on the Minnesota field,
and if there is any justice In the rule of alterna
tion it would seem that the time has come for
the gophers to book the Nebraska game next
year for Lincoln. The prestige already acquired
by Minnesota and the added fact that Dr
Williams is destined to have a team still
stronger than ever next vear, would, in the
judgment of the athletic authorities at Nebras
ka, draw a great crowd if the gophers were the
turkey day attraction.

as high as $12,000, while Manager Morrison is
confident they would exceed that sum. North
western is also a strong Thanksgiving possibil
ity, and Manager Morrison, who is to have
charge of arranging the schedule, is confident of
king' some definite arrangement either with
weeks.
It Is a foregone conclusion that the Nebraska
hoaid will not approve of playing more than two
games away from home next season. With the
Champaign date already provided for by con
tract, and if both Michigan and Minnesota are
to be on the cornhuskers' schedule, the situation
is that either the gophers or the wolverines
must play in Lincoln, and if either cannot ap
prove of the suggestion, then"there can be no
game. Either would prove a great drawing
card in the Nebraska camp and the Nebraska
management intends to leave no effort undone
to make the needed arrangements.
Kansas Wants Game.
v-*M It
1
The likelihood of a renewal of rela
tions with Kansas university, after a break
of two seasons, is also claiming attention at Ne
braska In the matter of framing a schedule.
Dr. Pound and former Captain Benedict, who
are to represent Nebraska in the negotiations,
suggested the Jayhawkers, probably will take
some step toward a conference during the pres
ent month. Neither one has spoken formallv
as to his views, but both are known to favoi
resumption If the Kansans come forward in
a friendly spirit and show a willingness to treat
on fair tejms. The disposition admits of no
concealment at Nebraska that Kansas, if rela
tions are resumed, ought to come to Lincoln for
the first football game under the new arrange
ment. The cornhuskers concede thta the Jay
hawkers will fairly burn the sod on the field at
Lawrence in their preparations to win from Ne
braska, and for that reason the Nebraska man
agement is confident that the Kansas game, if
one is played, will ,draw a crowd second only
to the Thanksgiving date.
The annual comhusker banquet last night
marked the final passing of the football season
for 1905. Coach Booth was not present, as he
was hastily summoned to his home in New York
city after he had nlanned to be present. The
players, the members of the athletic board aid
about 150 student rooters participated in the
festivities, -vhich concluded with the presenta
tion of gold watches to ex-Captains Benedict
and Borg, whose four years of service on the^football
Nebraska eleven ended on Thanksgiving day.
Question of Coach.
The coachship question at Nebraska hinges
entirely upon whether or not Booth can see his
way clerfr to coach another year. No one else
Is being considered by the athletic authorities.
Booth's law partner objected even a year ago
and no action can be taken until word comes
from the former Princetonian. It is known,
however, that Booth is willing to return, pro
viding he can arrange'his business affairs to
it.
Nebraska was signally defeated during the sea
son just ended by Michigan and Minnesota, but
the average conhusker rooter is inclined to
vote that the year was an athletic success.
Least of all, there is no,inclination in responsi
ble circles to criticise either Booth or his team
for the reverses at Ann Arbor or Minneapolis.,
The captaincy for 1906 is soon to be settled.
Secretary Clapp and Chairman Lees are to pass
on the eligibility of the different candidates
and the ballots are to be distributed among the
players during the present week. Glenn Mason,
fullback for the past three years, seems to be
the most likely choice, altho there are two or
three other aspirants.
NEW FUEL FOB
THEAUTO ENGINES
New York, Dec. 6.If the work of Barney
Oldfield, the automobile man of many champion
ships, comes up to the expectation of his friends
he has discovered in alcohol a fuel for
maas
chines that is as nearly perfect as anything can
be outside of an automobile operated by its
owh frictionwhich "means electricity, of course.
Then will come perpetual motion. These experi
ments are being watched closely, and, if Old
field succeeds, alcohol may be used in motor
boats also. This should interest the Standard
Oil company, as the fuel generally used now is
gasolene, a by-product of petroleum.
Oldfield is busily completing his plans to' re
produce on the stage an automobile race by
means of automobiles in action, and moving pic
tures. The champion has been at work changing
his cars so they .will burn alcohol Instead of
gasolene, and he says that in all probability he
will burn alcohol in MB racing cars on the
track. In the stage act the cars may seem
in a neck-and-neck race, with moving pictures
showing the scenes on all sides as the race goes
on. Oldfield says the "thru the fence" act is
very realistic. The opening will be a Newark.

CAMP LOSES NO
TIME OF MEETING
Football Rules Committee Sum
moned to Meet in New "tfork
Saturday.
Special to The Journal.
Chicago, Dec. 6.Members of the national
"football rules committee will meet in New York
Saturday to consider proposed changes in the
gridiron game and draw up a code for the season
of 1906. Walter Camp of the governing body
notified the national representatives of the meet
ing by telegraph yesterday. The early date set
for the annual session came as a surprise to the
members of the committee. It Is regarded as
an emergency meeting in view pf the prevailing'
agitation against "rough football."
Coach A. A. Stagg, western representative
of the body, received the official summons
yesterday afternoon. He will leave for New
York tomorrow or Friday morning to attend the
meeting. In his message to the Chicago coach
Mr Camp gave no explanation of the suddten
calling of the committee. Stagg declared the
session was probably intended as the regular
annual meeting. He declined to state what
suggestions he would place before the body.
"As the representative of the west I shall be
glad to receive the suggestions and opinions of
anyone who cares to communicate with me
onCOLDMBIA
the subject of changes in the rules." he said.
"My own opinions are not formulated enough to
give them out in definite form. I wpuld like to
hear from all who are interested in the game
before I leave for the east. I am a member of
the university special committee appointed to .re-
port on the evils of football and therefore do
not feel at liberty to state my views on the
subject."
The members of the national football rules
committee are Walter Camp, Yale Paul J.
Dashiell, Lehigh and Annapolis: John C. Bell,
Pennsylvania Professor L. M. Dennis, Cornell
R. Wrenn, Harvard, Professor J. B. Fine,
Princeton A. A. Stagg, Chicago.
No action was taken yesterday by the special
faculty committee chosen by the University
of Chicago senate to report on ways and means
of ridding football of the evils deplored in the
resolutions adopted Monday. It is expected
to meet within a few days and the students look
for radical changes to be demanded by the pro
fessors. The majority of the members of the
committee have openly expressed themselves
against certain features of the game.
"The meeting of the national rules ecommit
tee will not put an end to our deliberations,
no matter what they may decide," said Dean
Albion W Small of the committee last night.
"We will go ahead with our task independently
of their action We are not considering merely
sities andr moral. of the
well."

AUTOS MAY RAGE
ON ICE COURSE
A circular cinder track on the ice at Lake
Harriet looks good to the auto enthusiasts of
the city. Such a track would give the /Irivers
a three mile course upon which to speed their
machines without the slightest danger of teams
or pedestrians, and the proposition Is regarded
with favor by the owners and dealers.
Such a track could be used as a race course,
and by keeping down the number of entries the
danger of accidents could be reduced to a mini
mum. There has been considerable dispute
among the advocates of the different types of
autos over the speed value of thir respective
car^. A road race has been proposed, but found
to be Impracticable The ice track would offer
a fine opportunity to settle all disputed points
It is probable that If such a track is installed
some enterprising dealer will offer a cup to be
competed for in matinee races held on alternate
Saturdays. The lake is under the jurisdiction
of the park board, but there is little question
but that its permission to install a track can
be obtained. Manager Bleld of the street rail
way company was asked if the company would
lend its assistance, and said that he would take
the matter under comsideratlon. RJ. Smith,
secretary of the club, is in favor of the pro
ject, and prominent dealers are backing it and
will push the matter at the next meeting of the
Automobile club.

YALE AT WORK
ON 1906 TEAM
Shevlin Is in Demand for Head
Coach Next
Year. fl
New Haven, Oonn., Dee. 6Altho the Yale
football season closed with the annual* game
against Harvard, plana were Immediately begun
for next season.
'Whether Captain Totn Shevlin can be Induced
to come back to act as head coach is not sure.
He has planned to go into the lumber business
In the west, but strong pressure will be brought
to bear to induce him to return to Yale as
coach. His year as captain closes with him one
of the most popular leaders who -ever headed a
Yale team. There is a strong demand for for
mer Captain Frank Hinkey to return next year
as an all-season coach. Hinkey has been the
most active and constant of the regular coaches
this fall, and it is felt that he cannot be
spared another season. Foster Sanford, the cen
ter coach, probably will be here another season.
More than to any other one man Yale's defense
this fall was a product of Sanford's brain.
The regular field coaches for the past fall,
Jack Owsley for the backs, and Ralph Bloomer
for the line, will go into business at once, and
will not be available for much coaching next
season.
Yale will have fully as strong an eleven next
year as the past season, at least in point of
raw material, but everything will depend on
how well it is handled. Captain Shevlin will
be the most missed member of the eleven
During the four years he has played end not a
gain has been made past him. Princeton has
not tried to run a play around him.
Yale will ave Cates back at end and

following lively substitutes- Howard Jones.
Beebe, Leggett and Burch, the last named two
from the freshmen. The varsity tackles, Big
low and Forbes, will return, and Peyton, the
former Andover tackle, the best man on
thelaps.
freshman eleven this fall, again will be avail
able for the varsitv. At guard both Hockenbur
ger end Erwin wiU return, and Paige, the for
mer St. Paul's school guard, who would have
been on the varsity the past season except for
scholarship troubles, will be a regular next
year. Substitute Andrews again will be a
candidate next fall.
Center Rush Flanders will return. He is
regarded as one of the steadiest men in the
country. Some brilliant new material is ex
pected. Andrus, the former Lawrenceville cen
ter and guard, will come down from Andover
and will he tried for one of the other positions.
At quarterback both Tad Jones and the substi
tute. Dines, will be back. Jones will be han
dled with more judgment another season. Yale
will have lot of brilliant halfbacks and full
backs next fall. Veeder, Roome, Wylie, Linn
and Levine are assured, and more are expected
From the freshman eleven of the past season
the splendid drop kicker, Dunbar, and Olcott
and Romas will be available for the varsity,
and Captain Soper, a quarterback, will try
Five of the crack Andover academy eleven are
coming to Yale.
Yale has swept everything before her on theRoot-Folger
gridiron for two years, and her prospects are
easily the brightest for next season. It is ex
pected that the KHs will arrange a game with
a western eleven, probably Michigan, in case
Harvard declines to meet them, on account of
the abolition of football at the Cambridge uni
versity.
STUDENTS
WOULD PLAY FOOTBALL
New York, Dec. 6.Columbia students de
clared against the abolition of football at a
massmeetlng yesterday. A resolution was passed
requesting the body of students' organizations
to rescind ""their recent action In barring the
game from Columbia's list of sports and to
continue the football association at least until
the meeting of the Intercollegiate committee

teams made speeches In favor of eliminating
brutality from the present game of football and
of retaining the game in its proposed remodeled
and mollified form.
President Butler and the members of the Co
lumbia faculty expressed themselves as very
much pleased at this action.

Harry Mitchell's Editorial
I'm Up Against It
This time I'm in the worst pickle I was ever in. Yon see, tha
lease on my store "puttered out" and for the past year I've been
hustling around trying to get hold of a building in a suitable location
and big enough to accommodate my business.
I skooted around "like a grayhound* chasing a jack rabbit," but
"nothing doing." One day I hustled around and found the landlord
of the two buildings, 310 and 312-314 Nicollet avenue. I showed Mr.
Landlord the size of my wad and the color of my coin and told him
I would take the blooming old buildings for so much and would re-
model them and add another story on top of them.
I don'ft just know whether he got stuck on me or my money.
Anyway, he said, "It' a go, and fixed up the lease. I signed it,
and there you are.
Well! Just as soon as the New Year starts I'll have an army of
carpenters, plumbers and decorators "tearing the life" out of the
building.
Now, before I can allow these workmen to tear up I must get
rid of my stock, so here is where you come in.
All of my beautiful line of fine imported English worsteds that I
have been getting $20 and $25 for, and for which I know many tailors
charge $40 to $50 for the same goods, I will make a sttft or an over-
coat to order, while they last, for $15.
All of my best materialsspecialsgoods that are made for me in
the old country, and which I have been getting $25 for and are worth
at any other tailoring establishment $50 to $55. fey price will be,
while they last, $20, made to order, with my guarantee attached of
"Satisfaction or No Pay."
Only the staple goods such as are used for full dress suits, Prince
Albert suits and overcoats, etc., are reserved, and these I will make
up to your order for $25, and I pledge you my word that a lot of* tail-
ors have got the nerve to ask $75 to $80 for the same quality.
Be on hand early and select the best. Yours truly,
HARRY MITCHELLi

New York, Dec. 6.Twelve teams were left
in at the end of the second day of this year's
six-day team race, aU far behind the record.
There was a lot of bard sprinting between 8
and 9 o'clock in the morning, in which the Root
and Fogler and Bedell brothers teams were
the leaders. Fogler started it right after 8
o'clock, when he knew Root was about to re
lieve him. His initial Jump netted him fifteen
yards, and this he increased by hard riding.
Root rode at a very fast pace when he went
on and for a time it looked as if the Doerflinger
Dusott and Trousselier-Decanp teams would lose
a lap Dusojt and Decaup ere on the track
at the time and they were more than two
thirds of a lap behind when the sprinting was
at its height. Hollister pulled the bunch up to
Root after a long, hard chase, and then the
field slowed down, so Dusott and Decamp wars
able to catch up again.
A few minutes later Menus Bedell started a
sprint and this was followed by sprints by
Moran, John Bedell and Hollister, but noe of
the lap stealing attempts succeeded.
Things were rather quiet for the rest of the
string, tho Hollister and John Bedell debated tho
lap-stealing question at some length lost before
10-30 o'clock.
Started by Sprint.
Shortly before 12 o'clock last night Joe Fogler
was the leader in a sensational sprint. It last
for fifteen minutes. Fogler was relieved at
intervals By Root The Bedell brothers stuck
close to the leaders and set the pace when
Fogler or Root fell back. The result of the
sprint was that the French team lost two
The sprint continued until 10 o'clock this mor
ning when the Bedells had succeeded in gaining
a lap on the other teams.
The Hall-Downey team withdrew from tba
race when it was found that during a spill in
the midnight sprint Hall had broken his collar
bone. Several riders, all of whom were try
ing to catch Bedell, went down in the fall, but,
immediately mounted their wheels and rode
madly ahead Hall was as quick as the others
to" mount, and he kept up the pace until after
8 o'clock In the morning, when he suddenly
pitched unconscious from his wheel. He was
thrown by the fall completely over the fence
and into one of the spectator's boxes. It was
reported today that the sprint last night was
caused by an offer of $300 by a spectator to the
rider who would gain a lap on his competitors.
Ten Teams Left.
At 8 o'clock this forenoon only ten of the
sixteen teams which started remained in the
race. The standing at that hour follows

out of the race since early morning on ac
