NEBRASKANS ARE CONFIDENT Lincoln Foot Ballists Eager to Meet Univer- sity of Minnesota Team, INTERESTING ~ GAME IS PROMISED Howe Team Thinks Iis Showing Against Ames Sufficient to War- rant w Hope of Heating Gopher Manager Harry Tukey of the University of Nebraska foot ball team spent a day last week with his parents in this city and showed a fust and proper jubilation over the recent showing of the 'varsity squad. The defeat of Ames on Saturday, 20 fo 0, com pared favorably, he felt, with Minnesc victory of 27 to 0. “It is true that Ames was in better shape whon it met Minnesota,’ sald Manager Tukey, “‘but the other hand, we made a better score in twenty minute halves than Minnesota did in thirty and twenty-five-minute halves The Minnesotans cond deal heavler than our fellows and #id to average 180 pounds to the m Vie haven't de termined our average welght ms yet, but it 18 a good deal less than that, just as Chi CRRO'S was, T Ames conch expressed the opinion to me that we would have a good deal of trouble bucking the line on account of th phers’ bulk, but that if we could ®ive another such exhibition of runniug with the ball as we did with Aries we ought to make long galns around the end. We found Ames easy prey in this direction and the score stood virtually 48 to 0, three gonls belng lost by some wholly unuecessary of side work. Such ergors o form as this will s remediod long before Thankegiving day and we will mako the showing of our lives against Miunesoia. There 18 no doubt,” concluded Manager Tukey, “that Nebraska has the best team fn years. The men are coming out splendidly under training and the jealousy aund lack of harmony of a ago have wholly disap peared.. | am only sorry that Minnesota aidn't Win outright from Chicago—it would bave added that much to our glory. The University of Nebraska has so far unbent as to give one unimporiant game to Omaha. Manager Tukey sald that the game with Grinnell will occur in this city on November 10, Omaha enthusiasts are bring- ing all possible pressure to bear on the | Lincoln men to transfer the Thanksgiving | gamo with Minnesota to Omaha, Instead of depending upon the slender resources of the capital city. It has been pointed out that after Minuesota’s virtual victory over the Maroous, the people of Douglas county would puy money almost to & man to see the con- test. They realize that if Nebraska can only acquit itself with credit with the northern ers that they, too, even us did Town, find fhemselves worthy of more lofty as- soclations. A victory over Minnesota in Omaha would do untold things for foot bail in this section and from the manager's ac- count of his team it seems fully equal to tho task The manager and his colleagues, how- ever, fail to show the expected willing- ness under this fire of argument and have 60 far held fast to their original inten- tion of experimentiug with an audience In their home town. They point cut the great saving in expense in not bel obliged to transport and entertain team In Omaha and ‘belie as a university town, will furn out unani mously to see tho contest. The officials refer “to the fluanciel failures of Thanks- giving games in Omaha during the last few years, making suitable allowance, as they say, for the blizzards which ha Invariably atiended the contests In this city. The enihusiasts for their part hold that it might snow in any town and that Omaha may reasonably hops for better luck on this occasion. Whether this ar- ray of loglc will have any question for the next few weeks, Coach Stagg of Chicago was a gloomy end long-face individual after the game with Minne one week ago and the Minneapolis had dificuity fn per- suading him to expryss himself. *Mr egg was anything but communicative ter the game,” remarks the Minneapolls Tribune. ““When asked what he thought of the outcome he replicd ‘It was un- expected. Just who did mot expect it he dld pot say and it was impossible to learn from him anything of Lis opinion of Minnesota's team or its chances for the future. Tho members of the Chicago team were equally uncommunicative” Cheered by its honorable record, in the Chicago game the Minnesotans are be- glroing to aspire to the champlonship of the west, although there are several very active lmpediments In their way. The mokt formidable one—asido from Nes braska—is Wisconsin, whom the meet on November 3 after a period of small exertion, having faced Griunell yes- terday and North Dakota being scheduled tor mext Saturday. Then follow games with Illinois and Northwestern on sucs ceediug Saturdays, which should be a matter of running down the fleld and over tho goal line after the form shown fa the ota press gamo with the oons. Nebraska has nothing but good wishes for the Minnes sotans and desires that they bring all the scalps possible to Lincoln on Thanks- glving day. When he reached home Coach Stagg was less taciturn and had the following te say of the Minnesota team As to our own prospects, the chances are against our voing through the #on with- out de: T have said all along that the K00d new men have not come to us.

That fact in ft- » a8 enough to change the result of the game, Our team outplayed Minnesota during the second half, so far as the amount of ground gainod iw concerned. Chicago galned 294 yards, Minnesota In the first half they sutplayed us badly ay far as the amount of round gained shows, making 219 yards to ur fifty-two. That averuges more gaing or Minnesota, but we threatenod their oal one time ‘more than they ours. Our en were game to the finish. The Missourl Tigers are bandaging up their bruised solf-esteem after the game with the Haskell Indlans, when the Red SELT/ZER: *Not @ tastes worse tAam it emells remedty, " but & pleasant, common sense treatment for rheurnatic aches And pains. 1t removes gouty and rheumatic rnlwn from the System by its uction on the #k!n, kidneys and bowels, 25¢., 50c., and §1.

In the game with Cornell college A week ago lowa got no further than a ore of 6 to 0, not a very stalwart figure. GOLFERS STILL HAUNT LINKS Unrivaled Weather of Past Week Enjoyed to the Fullest Extent by Country Club Members, The second contest for the champlonship cup offered by the extinct Omaha Golf club was entered Into yesterday afternoon on the Country club links, sixteen members tak- ing a haud. LeRoy Austin, who had one of the three triumphs necessary to complete ownership to his credit, has been absent from the city and failed to enter the lists. The lineup for the first round was as fol- lows: Kinsler against T. R. Kimball, Mors- man agalust Lemist, Haskell against R. R. Kimball, Leavitt against Foye, Lewis agalnst Lawrle, Rahm agalnst Buckingham, Bancker agains: Burns, Redick against Fair- fleld At a recent meeting H. Lawrie was ap- pointed chairman of the greens committee, which hes charge of all the athletic dolngs and appurtenances of the club. Mr. Lawrle 18 an enthusiastic and experienced and has several projects under way for the improvement of the golf facilities. There has recently been a revival of golf among the women after a period of lassi- tude and many are seen on the links these Indian summer afternoons whose faces have been‘missing during the summer. An active Interest was taken in the tourney for the Lemist trophy, competed for by the women members oue week ago. Miss McShane de- served her honors and played a careful, steady game. The work of Miss Kountze and others was scarcely less deserving of praise. The contest, however, was not nota- ble for excellence of play and the cont ants are expected to show mprovement as they accustom themselves to that trylng ordeal—tournament play. Those who reaped disappolniment in the maich a week ago will have a chance to gather new honors next Wednesday, when a handicap cup will be hung™ up by the | Women's Golf club for the best woman player. This organization was an adjunct of the old Omaha Gelf club, the donor of the tournament cup. The women's auxillary found that it also had money in the treasury with no more worthy an end to which to devote It than a cup to be striven for by women, The conditions of the tournament have not as yet been given out. As autumn draws near to its closing hour there is no cessation in the attend- ance on the links. The unrivaled weather his had much to do with sustainiug the interest and the golters find this the most ideal of all seasons for the pursuit of their favorite sport. The sun is nei- ther too hot nor the chil) 0o penetrating for active employment and the turf is In an elastie, sprightly condition, which makes 200-yard drives seqm with@n the reech of men of ordinary might, The | closing of the dining room at the end of the month will doubtless have some effect | upon the attendance, but so far the al- leged cloaing ball of one week ngo has served rather as a boom than otherwise. An enjoyable dinner and dance were given lust night to magnify the prowess of the high men in the tourney and both the athletic and social brauches seemed safe for a loug lease of life. J. H. Taylor, who waa beaten In the {nlr champlonship at Wheaton by Harry ‘arden, bas sailed for England to take part in the mid-Surrey tournament. He announced his intention of returning to the United States and sald that he had found the golf standard much higher here than he expected. The players in the United States were equally well impressed &nd found Mr. Taylor & sportsman and & gentleman, Mies Mary Knapp in “Golt” imparts the tollowing good advice 1.

Club to Omaha Gun Have Live Bird Shoot Next Sat- day. The Omaha Gun club will have a live bird shoot on {ts grounds next Saturday for the Meyer trophy, The shoot will be for fifteen birds and will be open to club members only. The handicapping will be done by an unprejudiced committee. Mem- bers of the club look forward to the event with genuine interest and it promises to awaken a marked entbusiasm. President Charlle Johannes expects that the mem- bership of the club will be represented by a large proportion. Ed Krug writes from Langdon, his favor- ite stamping grounds, a few lines which | speak more eloqu ntly than eould volumes written by & nov| Krug writes: “Fine crappie fishing. Large strings caught every day by fishermen.” Dr. Owen returned a few days ago from Washington, where he spent a short time fishing and had a most delightful and suc- cessful outlng. His string of fish and his tales of the great number left by him un- caught were too much for Albert Edholm and the latter took the first train for the lake to spend a few days. Cherlle Rogers, Sam Barlow and Geory Entrikin hled themselves off Priday for a sylvan spot in Minuesots, known only to the members of the trlo, to fish and hunt for a brief perlod. Upon their return their friends expect to be regaled with storles of wonderful adventures and extraordicary finds, even though there 1s nothing tangible to back up the assertions. move is violently objected to in the | golter | l THE OMAH PICK SMITH FOR THE WINNER Local 8ports Oonfident that Colored Boy Will Best Gardner. IS GETTING IN PINK OF CONDITION Management of Ciab Gives Its Gunranty that Faking Wil Not Be Allowed 1 the Fight. Consclentious training under the di- rection of an expert at the business and a determination ten suggesting the bulldog ity peculiar to many colored prize- ghters are (he elements warranting the beliet on the part of many that Haich Smith will win his twenty-round go with Uecar Gardner at Washington hall Wednesday night. Interest In the aflair on the part of local devotees of the prize ring 18 becoming accelerated as the date of the contest draws uear and the pros- pects are that the event will be a banner one in the history of Omaha eporting aftairs. Not only will this be true in point of attendance, but as well In its inaugu- rating the revival of legitimate sport in this city, and that, under auspices that are alicgeher promising. There were mauy skeplics in Omaha a brief while ago when the announcement was made that Gardner had consented to a match with Hunky Smith, a comparative unknown. It was quite the gemeral opin- lon that Smith would be just so much easy money for the old-time “Omaha Kid,” whose ring carecr has been par- ticularly successful for many years past. There were some, however, who were bet- ter acquainted with Smith's qualifications as a pugilist. He had given a good ac- count of himselt in amateur bouts with husky colored men who punch quite as ef- fectively as the professionals, and he had put Australian Billy Murphy to the bad in less than one round, defeating a fighter who was once a world's champion Remembering these performances these few predicted that Smith would be able to take care of himself with Oscar Gard- ner or any other fighter of his own weight, and their predictions have become the opinions of a wide circle of well in- formed sporting men, as the result of the magniticent showing Smith had wmade in bis tralning operations. Not one minute since he began his training for the bout with Murphy has be relaxed in his dill« gence, and a dally routine has been fol lowed out under the direction of Eddie Robinson, as capable and éonscientious a trainer as Smith could possibly have se- cured. Today Smith is in splendid trim, His muscles have been worked and kneaded and massaged to give them elas- ticity and flexibility or hardened, wherever necessary, so that they will serve as pros tection to the frame of the fighter when Oscar Gardner \chances to get in oume of his sledge-hammer blows. Bmith has become an expert at slde- stepping and has cultivated a natural short-arm punch which looks like a win- ner. He is the possessor of a remark- ably good wind and above all has a grim | determination to win or be able to go into his dressing room conscious of a faliure resultant in no mcasure from lack of effort. Wherein Smith is lacking 1s in ring generalship, but he is a cool-headed darkey, has his wits about himt at all stages and his lack of experience may be offset by reason thereof. Appreciating all of these conditions it looks, at any event, as though Smith were In position to meet his opponent upon a fairly equal level. 1f he were mot the fight would lose its zest, but if he is, and Buch seems to be the case, there is no reason why the contest should not be an eminently satisfactory one, whatever way it terminates. Of course Gardner has the best of it when one remembers his long ring carcer and the experience It has naturally given him. He i considered a ring general par excellence and goes in with a confidence of early In the struggle gainiug an insight into his opponent’s weak points and pursuing his warfare along the lines suggested by the knowledge thus learned. Gardner {s a fighting machine, pure and simple, and he has the business down al- most to a sclence. It has been a4 marvel to the fighting world how Gardner skips about the country, making long jumps, and keeps up almost a continuous performance within the roped arena. He tackles almost any one anywhere near his welght, cops out the coln and bags his share of the victorles, too. When Gardner puts in his appearance at Washington hall Wednesday night the crowd will see a fighter who occupies an unique position in pugilistic circles for the very reason that he is a veritable whirlwind of endurance and his scrappy proclivities preclude nome with whom there Is the slightest opportunity of his making a creditable showing. Garduoer for the past month has been on the go most of the time. Friday night he fought Tim Callahan in Philadelphia and is now aboard a train enroute for Omaha. The Kid has not had any time for training, but has kept himself in trim by continual fighting. He carries along a punching bag and his sparring partner and while en- route doés active work in the baggage car of the train which is carrying him from one place to another, Wednesday night's program will include a six-round bout between Paul Murray and the “Yellow Hammer,"” a darkey fighter who has designs on Murray's homors as champlon middleweight of Nebraska. It promises to be a red-hot struggle from start to finish. But the big preliminary event will be a “battle royal” which Man- ager Farrish belleves will take the crowd by storm. A bhalf dozen colored lads, all of them of mor: or less ring experience, will be turned loose tn the ropes and tho one who stays on his feet the longest will be the victor. This affalr will be some- thing after the faghion of the old school spelling becs, only the exercise will be a deal more violent. One of the things connected with the forthcoming bout that (nsures its legitimmey and the absence of fakery and jobbery is the selection of a referee whose reputation is well established. Jimmy Bardell, one of the refereos at Tattersalls in Chicago, will offictate in the Gardner-Smith bout and that fact Is a guaranty that there will be no repetition of the Supples-Abbott hippodrome, which dlsgusted Omaha sporting circles a few months ago. During the twenty rounds tho go is scheduled for, or that portion that It continues, the fighters will not be permitted to shirk or “play horse,” for Jimmy Bardell will see to it that nothing of the kind is indulged in The spread of the information abroad that Gardner and Smith are to fight in Omaha bas directed the eyes of the sporting world toward this city to an extent that has not been the case for several years. Match- maker Farish has 4 number of good attrac- tions on the string and bouts between repu- table fighters are pretiy bure to be a regular thing during the coming winter. Jimmy Corbett 1s disconsolate and is re- peating the gyrations of jumping into and out of the arena with challenges and protestations of retirement, just as he has been doing for many years past. Corbett has discovered that the smell of the alleged fi..s fight with McCoy is altogether an un- savory one In the nostrils of the pugilistic world and particularly with the fighters DAILY BEE DAY whom he seeks to meet, and he {s now up against a roughshod proposition, Basing his claim upon the showing he made against Champlon Jeffries, Corbett now clalms an- other fight with him, but the champion has advised him to meet McCoy again, whip the “Kid" under circumstances that will be a guaranty against any charges of fakery or fraud, and then come to him, if he wishes to talk business Whether or not Corbett will take this timely advice remains to be seen. It is an odde-on bet, though, that he won't be seen in the ring again until the theatrical season 1& over and all this advertising he is get- ting gratuitiously will be turned to good advantage by his press agents WITH ROOKS AND PAWNS L Nebraskans in Correspondence Game Hetween the Two States, The first scores are only now being sub- mitted fn the Nebraska-Mississippl match bogun nearly two months ago. The long intervening distance naturally puts a time barrier on the play which no promptness in response can altogether overcome. At boards Nos. 12 and 20, where Cohn and Bar- ron, Hill and Crosby were engaged, the lat- ‘ter being Nebraskans, the games were de- clared a tie because of 8 added to by an frregularity in the mall service which threw the contestants nearly a month behind. This 1s the first match ever undertaken by the Nebraskans at a further distance than Kensas and many difficulties are encountered which ot future occaslons may just as easily be avolded Thus far the score stands: Mississippt, 3; Nebraska, 1. There are seventeen games unfinished, however, so that the northerners have an abundance of opportunity to make £ood their hortage. The Mississipplans have had thelr club organization in effect for a number of years and are to be respected as worthy and stalwart adversaries. The southerners have #o far shown a spice and dash unusually lamentably absent from cor respondence games and have sprung a num- ber of surprises. N. J. Smith of Jackson, Miss work of W. R.

About the lonesomest specticle now- adays is the wheelrider spinning over superb roads, drawing health and inspiration from autumn colors and atmosphere. Here and there the wheel encounters a bunch of fu len leaves and their crunching sound startles the rider and breaks the silence. How marked the change! Where formerly clubs and quartettes and tandems aud singles made an almost continuous procession now thoe lonesome wheelman pumps his weary way, whistling betimes to keep bis courage up. The Natlonal Cycling association has just {ssued the contract entry blanks for the grand international professional six-day team race for the cycling championship of the world, which will take place at Mad- ison Square Garden December 10 to 15. The rules which will govern the contest are as follows: Race will start at 12:05 a. m., De- cember 10, and will finish at 10.05 p. m., De- cember 15. It will be a continuous 142-hour contest, the contestants having the right to rest and ride as they may see fit, except that no rider may be on the track more than twelve hours in each twenty-four hours. Each team must select and name thelr official colors, and under no circum- stances will contestants be allowed to start or ride without these colors. In addition to these colors, each team must wear the flag of their country, the emblem of their state, or other distinctive mark which will make apparent the country, state or city which they represent. Contestants must use only safety bicycles, whose driving wheel does not exceed thirty-six inches in dlameter, and it ehall be within the jurls- diction of the referee to determine whether & machine is eligible or not. A change of machine may be made at any time during the race. In case a change is necessary, contestants shall slow up on the outside of the track on elther of the two stralght- aways (no change to be made on the turns) The contestant’s attendant may aid him in Aismounting and mounting and may glive the contestant & push-off, but no attendant may run with his charge on the push-off. Each contestant may have two official at- tendants, whose names shall be handed to the management. Contestants who are guilty of unfalr riding, or who ungen- tlemanly in dress, Junguage or conduct, may be disqualified by the referee at any part of the race, and upon such disqualin- catlon of the contestant forfeits all rights to prizes, entrance fees or any returns or prizes whatever. Claims of incorrect scoring must be lodged with the referee Immediately after suid error, or alleged error, in scoring 16 detected. The referee or his representa- tive shall also be notified at once, ficlent proof of error is obtainable the ret- | erce may, in his judgment, allow the claim. In mo case shall any person, excezt the referee or his representative, charge the score.

Bicycle sults are barred in the suprems court of the United States. This discovery was made by the correspondent of a west- ern paper who was refused admittance to the court until he had gone home and changed his clothes. He was new to Washington newspaper work and happened to ride his wheel up to the capitol, expecting to report a particular case in which his paper was interested He was held up at the door of the marshul's office and told kindly, but firmly, that he would be obliged to adopt more conven- tional attire before he could get into the press seats, and, incidentally, while he was putting on a walking costumo he had bet- ter choose & black sult, as that was more in keeplug with the dignity of the court. A raflroad bicyclo i the latest thing in transportation devices. A Chicago firm bas introduced an attachment for a bi- cycle to substitute for the bandcar when the latter Is not avallable. The attach- ment conststs of three steel rods runnieg from the different parts of the frame of an ordinary bleycle to one small wheel on the other rail of the track. The little third wheel 18 flanged on both sides and adapted to run on the opposite rail s a guide to the bleycle, The attachment can be made In three minutes, it 18 sald, and welghs but eight pounds. The guiding wheel runs on ball bearings and the three polnts are so distributed as to in- sure the bicycle remaining in ab upright position and its wheels keeping the track | Uses -for the attachment will readily suggest themselves. There are many rail- way employes to whom In the course of |thelr dutles it would be of undoubted nd- ventage to have available w simple and expeditious means for covering & portion of the track when a regular handcar or old-fashloned railway velocipedo may mot /be at hana, A further aavautage is claimed in that [the attachment requires but little room for storage, being easily kept under a table or counter, and thus available for immediate use. The small cxpense will st its use in cases where provision of a handcar or rallway | velocipede would be out of the question. 11 0 '2“("! l\itchc“ v\ 2 n“np'.'vl‘d.‘ - Cabinet— ’** two lame flour bins < one large drawer for cutlery and large bread board -almost a necessity in every kitchen and these s only (seo cut) the new price on ..3.95 Still left Afew ofour Noo 420 Ouk Dining Chairs brace arms—cane seat v 4UO /e giye our stock pumbers on the above pieces that tra heavy, for goods may be ordered by mail—and shipped EXACTLY as advertised A Ifll‘uc quantity sf new goods lace curtains, uphols stery goods and portieres in drapery department.
