Condition of Gridiron Makes Open Play Formations Uncertain of Success.

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.—Old-time line •. rushing tactics were expected to mark the play today on most of the easterr. football gridirons, which are water soaked and make the forward pass and other open plays uncertain of success. As today's games marked the turning point in the season, a majority of coaches had hoped for dry fields to make final tests of open play formations.

Of the several important games in the east today, that at New Haven between Tale £nd Notre Dame attracts the most attention because of its in-ter-sectional favor and reputation for strength of the westerners. The question of the winner, decidedly an open one on a dry field, is expected to be even more in doubt on'a slippery turf where neither team will be able to resort to open play.

The Princeton-Lafayette, Pennsyl-vania-Navy and Army-Colgate games are looked upon as bringing together teams of almost equal strength. Harvard men look forward to a hard struggle with Tufts. Tufts have played three games thus far and have scored the majority of points against opponents.

IRI8H QUIETLY CONFIDENT.

Yale Ah» Expects to Be Returned Victor Today. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 17.—On rain soaked Tale field, Notre Dame plays Tale today In one of the most interesting football frames of the season. It Is the first time a western eleven has invaded Eli's reservation since Pat OTDea's team from University of Wisconsin was defeated, 6-0, fifteen yean ago.

The Indiana eleven, pioneers and masters of the forward passing game, was quietly confident of victory, as it went through a short signal practice during the morning. Tale exhibited no fear of their opponents, as they had been drilled by Coach Hinkey all the week in Notre Dame formations. This game, however, was considered by Tale men to be the first real test of the eleven tinder Hickey's coaching.

SOCCER TEAM PICKED

When the Tcrre Haute socoer football team faoes the Clinton aggregation Sunday afternoon at the West Terre Haute park, several well-known soccer stars will be seen in action. The lineup of the local team has been selected and is as follows:

UNDEFEATED BIG NINE ELEVENS CLASH TODAY

Purdue-Wisconsin Contest Holds Interest of Conference Followers— Indiana Faces Northwestern.

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.—Gridiron struggles bringing four undefeated "Big Nine" elevens into play held the Interest in western football today.

The game between the University of Wisconsin and Purdue, scheduled for Madison, promised to be bitterly fought as both elevens are striving to win the 1914 championship of the western conference. Last year those teams played a 7 to 7 tie. Purdue, although said to be even stroiger than in 1918, feels keenly the loss of Oliphant, who scored a touch down against Wisconsin last year.

With Iowa as its opponent, Chicago will play its third conference game of the season. Victory for Chicago, experts predicted, seemed assured.

Illinois will go into action against Ohio State at Urban a. Illinois must win to remain in the race for the conference title and judging from its form displayed against Indiana last Saturday, the Illinois eleven was expected to pile up a big score against the Ohioans.

Indiana will face Northwestern at Bloomington. As both are conference members and evenly matched a hard fought game is expected.

The University of Michigan engaged in an attempt to wipe out the defeat suffered at the hands o$ the Michigan Aggies last year.

Purdue In Good Spirits

JANESVILLE, Wis., Oct 17.—The Purdue squad took a spirited workout here Friday, in spite of the rain, in preparation for the clash with Wisconsin in Madison on Saturday. In the morning a blackboard talk was given the men, each play which will be used against the Badgers being discusstfi and reviewed.

The men were all in good spirits, but there is no. feeling of overcontider.ce. Rather each man has been made to realize that Friday's game is the most important of the Purdue schedule, the winning of which will place the Old Gold and Black in championship circles and the losing would put them out of the running.

Coach Smith took his men to the fair grounds in the afternoon for a workout. The second team lined up, using Wisconsin's offense, and the Purdue eleven was given practice in building up a defense with which to oppose Che Badgers. The team which will start the game today will be the same as has been playing together so far this season.

The squad spent the night here and Jumped to Madison this morning In time to lunch and rest up before the game. The men who will start the game are Turner and Stinchfield, ends Blocker and Borum, tackles Routh and Cecil, guards Bishop, center Pultz, quarter back Oxer, full back Captain O'Brien and Abrell, half back.

DEPATTW TACKLES LAKE FOEEST.

GREENCASTLE, Ind., Oct. 17.—Sixteen members of the De Pauw football squad, Coach Bogle and Manager Ellis left Friday afternoon for Lake Forest, where, on Saturday afternoon, they will do battle with the Illinois oollegians. The team spent the night in Chicago, going to the scene of the contest Saturday morning in time for signal practice before the game,

The men making the trip are Gordon, half back Mendith, center Sefton, guard Cochran, guard Northway, tackle Woodruff, end Sharji, end Anderson, quarter back Rowan, half back D. Thomas, half back Pence, half back Bell full back Klymer, end Ade, tackle and full back Harvey, half back Smith, guard. It Is probable that' all these men will get in the game.

Championship Pigskin Machines Swing Into Action

NEW TORK, Oct. 17.—Manager George T. Stallings, of the world champion Boston Braves, arrived in this city last night. The miracle man of the Hub is on his way to his southern plantation, near Haddocks, Ga., where he spends his winters. •Stallings was iricen3ed at an interview attributed to him, which was printed in a New York paper, purporting to lay at Ban Johnson's door all the trouble which led up to the dismissal of the big chief from the management of the New York Americans, at the close of the season of 1910. "Tou can not deny too emphatically for me," said Stallings, "any criticism of Ban Johnspn, attributed to me. It is quite true that Johnson and myself have not always been friendly, but it i.= emially true that I never in my life attributed to him the humiliating position in wDicii was placed at the time I severed my connection with the New York American club. "At that time I told the New Tork writers who accompanied the club that Johnson was absolutely blameless. Certainly I should not have said so had I not been absolutely sure of my ground. I visited Johnson at his Chicago offices when the trouble broke with Hal Chase. I was satisfied after that conference that no blame attached to John-

Does Get the Money" Justify All?

There is keen debate in eastern baseball circles over the actions of a former star of the Athletic team, who, according to every bit of evidence in sight, coached and trained the Boston pitchers till they knew every point and every weakness of the Philadelphia batsmen. He 's defended by people who maintain vhat he had a perfect right, after leaving the club, to get the money that he had for years given service for .salary, and that when his salary stop^-.J he owed Mack no obli

gations. But the sentimental ones say no. They point out how Connie Mack took this man when another club had dismissed him how Mack made him rich through fat wages and world's series coin how Connie carried him in recent years—they speak of these things, and then ask if even the right to get the money should have outweighed the days that have been, the kindness and protection of the past.

Danny Murphy, ex-Athletic captain, is the player in question. Murphy Is now a member of a Federal league club.

Feds Plan to Put Team in Gotham Town

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.—President Gilmore announced today that the Federal league was planning the invasion of New York, and that four possible sites for ball parks were considered. Gllmore, with Charles Weeghman and William Walker of the local club, returned today from New "Work, where he said they had been talking over with capitalists the advisability of putting a Federal league team there. Nothing definite was decided on, he said, but at another meeting in New Tork next Friday action probably would be taken.

There is no truth in reports that peace soon will be resumed in baseball circles, according to Gilmore, who declared the Federal league did not want peace, and that organized baseball has made no overtures.

The "Fighting Engineers'* and the Little Giants were scheduled to clash this afternoon at Crawfordsville. The scarlet was the choice, although the men of Rose expected to put up a good fight for victory.

Coach Huebel gave his men a light workout yesterday afternoon and dismissed them earlier than usual. A meeting was held at the school after supper, however, alt which the signals were gone over. The different plays were also rehearsed by means of blackboard and chalk.

Evans is the man who will probably be used at fullback in the absence of Captain Joe Carter. He is husky, heavy, and by no means slow. Carter was out In a suit last night, but Huebel would not allow him to participate in any of the work with the team. Joe did a little punting, and also praotlced drop kicking.

Twenty-one men made the trip. They were: J. Carter, W. Carter, Sommers, Davis, Stevens, Sheldon, Plrtle, Cotton, Tatsko, Buck, Trimble, Goldsmith, Woodward, Henry, Smock. Bright, Grafe, Evans, "Woodling, Springer and Crapo.

VICTORY LOOKED FOR.

Little Giants Expect to Down Rose Poly Today. CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Oct. 17.— Lots of the old "pep" was in evidence in the practice Friday afternoon, with all of the Little Giants out In uniform. The varsity today will be practically the same as the one that started against Earlham. Showalter and Racine will start at the ends, Bacon and Hurd at tne tackles, Michaels and Turner at the guards and Moore at center. The back field probably will be Pfohl, quarter E. Cofting and Sims, half backs, and Capt. Rowe, full back.

Wabash expects to win from the En gineers today, but they are expecting one of the hardest games of the season. Rose Poly always plays the best game of the season against Wabash, and ]n 51 year held the Scarlet eleven to a tie.

NEW TORK, Oct. 17.—Attempting concealment, afforded by aji assumed ramc, Fielder Jones, manager of the St. Louis Federal league team, has been at work in New Tork city for several days attempting to sign several National league players to Federal contracts. He is known to haVe been dickering with five stars of the New Tork Giants and Brooklyn Nationals, but efforts to learn of the extent of his success were unavailing today.

Pfeff'er and First Baseman Jake

Daubert, of the Dodgers, have received offers from Jones, and it is reliably reported that any or all of these players may Jump to the independent camp.

John Philip Sousa and his incomparable band will be with us for one concert at the Grand tonight. The program is made up largely of popular selections, the sort we expcct from Sousa.

Is it a matter of wonderment thatSousa's band should be considered, the world over, the most perfect organization of its kir.d in existence?

There are numbers of»musicians playing in Sousa's band today who weVe original members in the first concert by the organization in September, 1392, which was given in the Broadway theatre on a Sunday evening, to ar. overflowing house. There are certain members who have played continuously with Sousa ever since, and very m-.ny who have been on the liyt and played at intervening times, as, for instance, some' whose family obligations prevented them from going abroad with Sousa on his five foreign tours, including his tour around tiie WOrld.

Nan Halperin, who was first recognized as a musical comedy star by Chicago critics and theatregoers, is entertaining all comers at the Grand. Miss Halpeirin cheerfully responds to four and five encores at every performance.

"Across the Border," in the filming of which the leading woman, Miss McHugh, and the camera man lost their lives, is being shown at the Savoy today.

Fhilip Bartholomae, the young American playwright Who leaped into instant favor as the author of "Over Night" and "Little Miss Brown," seems destined to continue his remarkable success in the field of musical comedy. His first work in this latter activity was "Whon Dreams Come True," the three-act musical play in which young Joseph Santley has enjoyed thres consecutive seasons of success, and in which he is announced to appear with his company of dancers at the Grand opera house Thursday afternoon and nipht, October 22.

"Jess of the Mountain Country," acted by childron ranging In ages from seven to thirteen years, is the film attraction at the Grand this afternoon.

The judges In the comedy scenario prize contest conducted by the New Tork Morning Telegraph and Chartered Theaters corporation, have awarded the three prizes as follows:

First prize—Roy ^L. McCardell, of New Rochelle, N. T., for three-reel comedy entitled, "A Jay in Peacock Alley."

Second prize—Miss Elaine Sterne, of New Tork city, for three-reel comedy, entitled, "Without Hope."

Third prize—Miss Caroline Benbrooke Wells, of St. Louis, Mo., for three-reel comedy, entitled, "A Purltan's Conscience."

VICTIMS OF WHEATSICKNESS.

Train Passengers in Kansas Upset by the Billowy Grain Fields. Seasickness In the heart of Kansas, in the geographical center of the United States, has arrived. The malady Is caused by the wheat fields. Travelers on railway trains In central and western Kansas tell some wieid tales about the sickness. On nearly every line in the state long, unbroken fields of wheat, five and six-root stalks, can be seen as far as the eye can reach. And it is knotvn far and wida tnata wind more or less gentle blows most of the time In the sunflower state. The wind, blowing against the thousands of acres of wheat, produces a billowy waye. A gentle sway Is all there is to it, but persons have become violently ill because of the wheat.

A tale Is told of one man who has been to Europe several times, fitting in his Pullman on a through tram, the traveler looked out to admire the luxurious wheat lands. As usual the wheat was waving. It caught the eye of the traveler. It worried him. Ho ceased looking at the wheat, and decided to soothe his feelings with a cigar. He arose to enter ^he smoking compartment, and made his way there with some difficulty. In a short time ho was seasick.

Doctors tried to diagnose the trouble, but failed. Finally one of them reached the conclusion that It was a new Illness, wheatsickness. And later circumstances point out that it Is true. Trainmen report dally that passengers have slight or serious attacks of wheatsickness.—Chicago Tribune.

There seems no limit to the lnyehtf», ity of the enterprising gei-rlch-aulck opierators who devote their time to schemes for separating the public from Its money.

A Chicago dispatch tells of the donviction in federal court of ten men, who had succeeded In cleaning up more than a million dollars through k. the medium of a bogus mercantile agency. The scheme was a new oneui The plan was to convince creditor*, of bankrupts that the so-called mercantile agency could collect their accounts from "concealed assets" of the bask-, rupts. The agency was transacting a good business in many states when the operators fell into the clutches of the federal secret service-- men. In the prosecuti"n of the cases In Chicago the government charged, and apparently proved, that the agency, after receiving fees for the collection of accounts, made absolutely no further effort to serve its clients. /"I

The plan looks fraudulent on itsface and it seems almost incredible that thousands of persons were vietimized by such representations. The average get-rich-quick artist, however, fs a. persuasive letter writer and_^* tho mails were used freely lor thet rurpose of gathering in claims. As every one of the defendants in the cases In Chicago drew an eight-yeari prison term and a fine of $39,000, 1* is evident that the court looked upon?, their agency as a most flagrant swindle. I

That such frauds invariably attract patrons and not infrequently get awatf with a few millions of good moneS before their activities are suppressed is hardly creditable to the boasted ln4 tellisence of the American people. Exf perienc.c is a dear t« acher and ough|. to be a good teacher, but the experiv er.ee of one g'eneraticn seems to navsmall cffcct on the conduct of thi next. I
