FoOT-SaIsIs

In Indiana.

The foot-bell season In Indiana, which closes to-day, has on the whole been a very successful one. Some of the college teams have fallen off In their "play and others have come up and taken their places. It Is safe to say that some of the most scientific contests ever seen In the State have been played this fall. The coaching bas In the main been good, but the colleges have not been In a position to pay as high salaries as last season, and not so many Eastern men had charge of

teams.

There have been a number of athletic teams throughout the State this fall, and the interest In foot-ball seems to be steadily growing. Nearly all of the towns In the gas belt, where the rivalry between them has always been very strong, have put foot-ball teams in the held, and these games have attracted as much attention as the semi-profeeslonal base-ball games which take place in the summer.

Indlwnn l Diversity.

For the flnft time to> the history of IndU ana foot-ball the Indiana University team has carried off the honors, and i* entitled to first place among the college. teams of the State, Purdue, of course, excepted. For •ten years Indiana has struggled along in foot-ball, but each season has found her at the foot of the list. Last season there was a change for the befcter. The athletic committee realized last season that there waa some good material In the university, and that a good coach would make a team which would not bring ridicule on itself. Osgood, the famous Pennsylvania half-back, was fir* secured. While Osgood was a great player, he was not a good coach, and after five weeks’ Ineffectual effort, during which time the team was beaten right and left, Bob W'renn, th$ old Harvard quarter-back, was secured, Just at the close of Wie season, and the team did better .work. When the season opened this fall nearly all of the old players were back, and there was an abundance of good material at hand. It was now or never, and M. F. Oonterman, who played half on the Harvard 'team last sea-

son was marred by an unfortunate accident which took place In Lafayette two weeks ago. William Allen, the son of H. (’lay Allen, was thrown on his head while making a tackle, and for a time It was feared that the Injury would result fatally. The youpg man has now almost entirely recovered from the Injury. The Industrial eleven contained some good material this fall, which will bear watching. The High School eleven was composed of much lighter men than the Industrial team, but both contests put up a plucky game, and fought it out until the call of time. A number of good foot-ball players have come from the High School team, and there Is some good material there now.

The other college teams have all fallen easy victims of the State boys, and that team now deserves a high rank

In Indiana foot-ball.

DePauw.

DePauw has not been so successful this fall. The team ..has played some fairly gcod ball, but the work all season has been erratic. The team started out well, but the men have not kept up their good work. Indiana was defeated early In the season, but in the last two games the men from Greencaetle were clearly outclassed. The team defeated a number of the athletic and smaller college teams throughout the State, but it has not at any time showed the form that it did last season. It is hard to account- for th-ls, as Captain Sandy had nearly all of his old men back this fall, and In the earlier part of the season there was a good deal of enthusiasm over the team. The DePauw team did not play In Indianapolis this fall, and the local mthuslasts were deprived of an opportunity of seeing the club that has played so many hard-fought games oh the local gridiron.

Wabash.

The Wabash eleven, after a very disastrous season, dtsbanaed two weeks ago. There was very little good material In the college this fall, and all of it was light. Half a doaen defeats disheartened the boys and they did not finish out their schedule. Wabash IS another team that did not play here this fall. It did some very clever work a year ago and great things were expected of It this season. Captain Sullivan has several of his old men back but the enthusiasm in the college was not what it was last fall, and the team was slow in getting down to work. After six week of Indifferent success the team gave up the fight. Ualveralty of Indianapolis. The University of Indianapolis team has been a great disappointment this season, starting In with bright prospects and an abundance of good material to draw from, it was thought that this would be a great season for the team. Nott Flint, a brother of J. Marshall Flint, was engaged to coach the eleven, and it started out under the moat favorable auspices. Somehow everything went .wrong. The first big game was with the University of Indiana team, and much to the surprise of the local enthusiasts the eleven, was badly beaten. This defeat seemed to have a disheartening effect on the team, and the boys went to piece*. They pulled themselves together for a few days and managed to defeat the Miami team at Oxford, but the next week undid this good work by giving & miserable exhibition on the local grounds, and were In tarn beaten by Miami. Last Saturday the eleven played the best game of the season and defeated Earl-

ham.

The good material which promised to develop at the start faded away. Most of this was In some other department, besides the collegiate and the boys found It a diflkult matter to Journey out to Butter field even- evening for practice. So many of them gave it up This left practically only Butter to call on. and the material there was not even up to

the usual standard. Already plans are being laid for next seaaon. and the athletic committee is determined that In ’97 the misfortunes of this seaaon shall be

wiped out. Purdue.

Purdue has played Its usual strong game this fall, and the team is fully up to the atandard of the last six years. It

His Opinion of «be Foot-Ball

Elevens of Indiana.

When Ihe referee's whistle to-day signifies that play is ended the story of college foot-ball fn Indiana for the season of '96 will be completed. Notwithstanding the fact that a great political battle has been waged In the State, the manly game of foot-ball has continued to excite and enthuse the students of Indiana colleges. The season of ’96, as fax as actual football is concerned, has shown development and Increased knowledge of the game. With a few exceptions, the teams have been comparatively strong. Purdue closes to-day with a struggle with Its old rlvaJ, University of Illinois. The teams seem evenly matched, and a royal battle may be expected. It is something of a State battle, and Purdue will have the support of all the foot-ball en-

thusiasts of Indiana.

DePauw and Miami, at Greencastle,. will be another State contest, in which Indiana ought to come out victorious. However, whether Purdue or DePauw win or not to-day, their standing, so far an Indiana colleges are concerned, will not be altered. Purdue will still stand for the best foot-ball In the State. While she has only met DePauw and Notre Dame, still her supremacy can not be doubted, though Notre Dame proved herself a dangerous rival for State honors. In her

16 to 0, ,£n the latter 14 to 0. While to many this may look as If Purdue were retrograding in foot-ball, such is hardly the truth. Purdue was the leader of Western foot-ball for years simply because she was the first to have Eastern coaches, and learned the game before her sister colleges. The other colleges are now having good coaching, and rapid development Is to be expected, especially when they have more material to draw upon. A somewhat simLJar condition may be noticed. Among the big teams of years ago, It was a sin evah to be scored against by the. smaller

but they have not played weir together. Parker, Lister, Loop and Hestor seemed to outshine the rest. Wabash has been more or less disorganized this year, and as a result has not made much of a showing. She has been weak at both offense and defense. Ristine, Rauch and Younst outclass the others. For an all-Indiana team out of these four teams, the following would probabh prove a stronger combination: For ends—Sandy, of DePauw, and Parker, of Butler. For tackles—Lister, of Butler, and Endicott, of I. U. For guards—King, of I. U., and Roller, of DePauw. For center—Ray, of I. U„ though rather light, has showed much ability. He snaps the ball well and is useful on the defense. For quarter—Ruik, of DePauw, is but little above Blnford, of I. U., but his tackling and general usefulness on the defense would make him the better man. For full-back—Ristine, of Wabash, is easily first for the back. Hunt and Youtshler would surely prove the strongest combination. They can be depended on for consistent games and are strong on defense. Shireman, of DePauw, is also a good man. Indiana colleges have yet a great deal to learn concerning management in handling a foot-ball team. There Is a certain amount of looseness here that would not be tolerated in the East. The manager and captain both have their duties, and there should be no friction between them. The manager of the eleven should, of course, consult the captain In making up his schedule, and when this is once completed should have sole charge of the business end of the team. The captain should have absolute control of the players and their work, subject, of course, to the approval of the coach. The two departments should be run without friction to make a well-managed team. There must be more honor In regard to keeping dates. If there are eleven men In college able to step onto the field, the dates should be kept. Again star playing and star players must be watched; It kills team play. Too many are playing for or on their reputations, and lastly athletics must be pure. In the long run It will prove the wiser. The only manly thing to do is to develop your own men, and then do your best. There have been charges of professionalism made against certain colleges in the State, but I. U., at least this season, has been free from any tinge of professionalism. The faculty and athletic committee took matters into their own hands, and insisted upon pure athletics, and other faculties ought to do the same. There are no short cuts to victory in foot-ball. Professionalism kills team play, kills college spirit, and Is unjust to bona-fide students. It is only when Indiana colleges get above such methods that foot-ball among them will become a truly manly sport. M. G. GONTERMAN, Coach Indiana University.

ON THE GRIDIRON TO-DAY. TUe University and Athletics In This City—Games Elsewhere. The University of Indianapolis eleven completed its practice yesterday preparatory to being ground into the mud by the Athletic’ giants this afternoon. Captain Parker is determined that his men shall score, and the men will work with that

colleges, but such a thing is not considered remarkable now, and is to be expected, owing to the increased knowledge of the game which all Ota ms are acquiring. The Purdue team this year contains many old veterans, ot whom Jameson, as half-back and full, Marshall at end, Webb as guard and AI word at tackle seem particularly to shine. She is particularly strong In back and ends, and plays a snappy, tricky game, and realizes that punting Is one of ihe useful qualities in

a full-back.

Aside from Purdue and Notre Dame, the work of the colleges wntch formed the old association is interesting and instructiw. DePauw. Butler, Wabash and I. U. have all put teams In the field. I. U. has played with and defeated all of the teams, and for the first time In her

In The Gast.

The foot-ball season, which practically closed in the East last Saturday, and in the West to-day, has been the most successful that the sport has ever known. Notwithstanding the fact that the quesicn of championship was not settled, the games between the big colleges attracted larger crowds than ever before, and there was more Interest and enthusiasm over the result. It is conceded that Princeton is entitled to the honor of haring the strongest team on the gridiron this season. The only club wdilch has a right to dispute the claim of the Tigers Is the Pennsylvania eleven. Both of these teams met Harvard, and Princeton made by far the better showing against the crimson. Harvard did better than was expected, and when the fact is taken into consideration that the crimson had to contend with the hardest kind of luck from the very opening of the season, the team deserves great credit for what it did. Yale was a disappointment. The blue has not had such a weak team in the field for years, and no one will regret when the memory of another season has supplanted this. Captain Murphy probably did the best be could with the material at hand, and there is no question but that Yale was unfortunate in haring a number of promising men laid up In the early part of the season. Princeton can always look back on this season with nride. The Tigers played hard foot-ball throughout the season, and although several good men were forced out of the game early. Captain Cochran developed others to take their places. ! Princeton’s remarkable showing a gains t> Yale last Saturday was one of the greatest surprises ever seen on the football field, and proves the team to be one of the best that ever represented Princeton on th® gridiron. The sensation of the year In Eastern foot-ball circles, however, was the Indians. The redskins from Carlisle In a single season have jumped Into a position but a shade below the big four, 3hd if the same team can be held together next season It wilt be fit to cope with any team on the Eastern field. Almost unheard of until this season, the Indians have absorbed more foot-ball knowledge than, all of the smaller colleges put together. They defeated every team which they met, except the big four, and Pennsylvania was the only one of the combination that escaped without a scare. Princeton, had Its hands full in fighting ‘back the men from the West, Yale was all but beaten, and If justice had been done the score would have at least been a tie. Harvard barely won the game with Carlisle, and it was not until the close of the game tha; the crimson eleven was sure that it had won. The Indians ran up against Pennsylvania at a wrong time. Smarting under the defeat at the hands of Lafayette the wearers of the red and blue put forth every effort to retrieve that disgrace; not only was the strongest possible team put in the field, but the coachers spurred the men on until they fought like demons. In this one garfie the Indians were badly beaten. Throughout the season there was not a charge of slugging against the Carlisle boys, and the critics say that they played as dean a game as any team that ever went on tie gridiron. Of the .small-el- colleges Lafayette did the best work. Its victory over Pennsylvania will long bs remembered. The boys from Easton hare been very successful, and have played a very consistent game throughout. Brown has dotie very good work this fall, and playid a number of close games. It has not, however, done as well as it did last season. Cornell has b4en a great disappointment, and is not to be classed with the four big teams. West Point has kept up the standard of last season. While the soldiers were easily beaten by Yale and Harvard, they defeated nearly all of the smaller colleges. One of the features of the campaign Just closed Is the fact that there was less rough play than ever before. Not a charge of slugging was made In any of the big games, and not a player had to be ruled off the field. The game was cleaner and more scientific than ever before, and the Eastern critics unite in saying that they believe the game to be on a higher plane In which science and skill will be the chief features.

EARLY PRACTICE. Comments On the Results In the Case of Pennsylvania. There was a good deal of adverse critclsm early In the fall when the Pennsylvania team was called together the first of September for practice, and a number of Eastern critics protested against the practice. These critics are how silent. It was the preliminary practice that fitted the Pennsylvania team for the season’s campaign. It hardened the men and gave them a foundation for the heavy work which followed. It was that preliminary practice which enabled the red and blue to defeat the crimson last Saturday, for It was the superior physical condition of Pennsylvania which brought her the victory. This Is acknowledged by all who saw the game and the comments of some of the foot-ball authorities are intercs:ing. Here they are: “Pennsylvania won because she had a better eleven, and because her men were In better physical condition.”—G. W. Bouve. Harvard’s left-guard. “In brief. Pennsylvania won because her men w-ere In better condition, because the backs handled punts better and because she played a better line-bucking game.”—James Dean, Harvard's base-ball captain. “It was a great game of foot-ball, and Pennsylvania won by a wonderful brace in the second half. Sbortiy after play had begun for the second it was speedily noticabie that Harvard was weakening, whereas Pennsylvania seemed to be playing more and more aggressively. "—Clinton R. Wyckoff, umpire. “In the knowledge of foot-ball, and in Individual play, the men were evenly matched, but the Pennslyvanla team came Into the field in better condition physically than the Harvard players, which the result the game shows, and the surprise was that Pennsylvania did not score more in the last part of the second half.”—Frank W. Hallowell, Harvard’s former endl rush. “In the second half the conditions were reversed and Pennsylvania had the best of it until the end, because her men seemed to me To be in far better shape, while Harvard’s center allows large gains to be made through it. in fact, Pennsylvania's strong finish wou her the game.”—W. O.. Httkok. referee. "This formation In the first half, when the Harvard forwards were fresh and active, was not successful, but when. In the second half, their condition became poorer, tha weight and determination of the heavy men directed at them t-igan to tell, and Pennsylvania was enabled to make the sure, steady gains that carried her over the Harvard goal line. • * • Perhaps the shortest way to sum up the game is to say that, being a game where kicking was ustd very little, the team that was stronger In rushing the ball, and that had : the greatest endurance, won.”—Bertram Gordon Waters. Harvhard’s coach. In connection with this. It is Interesting to note that In the past three seasons Pennsylvania has not had a man laid up

CHOYNSKPS OPINION. He Think* Foot-Ball In More Brutal Than Prize-Fighting. Jo» Choynski, the famous pugiHst, attended the Yale-Princeton game at the Invitation of the New York Journal, and the following is his opinion of the sport: “Compared with boxing, I find very little that is analogous or comparable between the two sports. In boxing it is possible to eliminate all elements of brutality when the principals are well-matched, scientific fighters, but in foot-ball Just the opposite results are reached. The better trained and more evenly matched the opposing teams the greater the brutality and violence incorporated In the contest. “They say that the game to-day was a very clean one, or rather, that it was not a rough one. If this be true, what must a rough one be like? Foot-ball is undoubtedly ten-fold more brutal than prizefighting, let alone boxing. The very makeup of the players proves this assertion, and shows that each one of them expects to be injured. When these teams ran out upon the grounds, preparatory to lining up. I noticed that the majority of them wore leather head-cases, ear, eye, nose and moth-protectors, while their whole bodies werej thoroughly padded. In boxing the principals simply wear short trunks, and have their hands incased in five-ounce gloves. But as to the game, I positively saw more brutality inflicted than I ever witnessed in all the combined fights and bouts between the heavyweight pugilists that I saw contend In this country, England and Australia. “In the very first scrimmage of the game and but within four minutes of the kick-off, I saw a man lay on the field WTithlng, while a few minutes later Cochran, of Princeton, was almost used up. “In foot-ball there is not supposed to be any slugging or punching, yet with the aid of my field glasses I distinctly saw both sides do some punching, and In one instance there was an attempt at gouging. Tnis would be a deliberate foul In l oxing, and an honest referee would Instantly disqualify the man indulging In such a practice. I saw men injured and stunned after each formation play. The Impact of these two ‘teams coming together was simply terrific. If your readers will remember, just as Bannard made one of his big gains hi the first half, one of the Yale team was noticed to drop near the northeast end of the field. I had my glass on him instantly, and saw at a glance that the fellow was knocked out. He never moved, and it was some minutes before he regained his senses sufficient to continue in the game. “In boxing a knock-out means defeat. It was so with me last Monday, when I met Peter Maher, yet, had I the same opportunity, or a few minutes’ rest to recover, as my foot-bail friend, Maher would not have been the victor perhaps. But, as I just said, boxing rules do not permit a contestant to continue after being counted out. This is one of the few instances which prove that foot-ball Is brutal, as compared with boxing. “I saw four men led from the field, limping and fainting. Two of them had to be held up, and I was told had to receive medical attendemace im their dressingrooms. They were applauded and cheered, and I distinctly heard one lady, whose hair was as white as snow, say: ‘What grand young men they are. It is such a pity they were hurt.’ “When the game was finished there was not one member of the two teams whose bones did not ache,, or who had not a bruised face, shoulder or joint. In fact, they were a fit lot for a hospital. It is quite evident that the people want football, and the bloodier and rougher the work the greater heroes are the players. The Spaniards and Mexicans glory in bullfighting, yet they hold their hands up in holy abhorrence at the mere mention of a prize-fight. “I presume that if boxing had been adopted by the colleges, and big tournaments held, with the finals to be decided as was the focA-bal'l game to-day, it would be accepted by society leaders, who would fill Manhattan field to applaud and chear the principals. Such is net the case, however. and a manly sport must suffer, while one that is brutal In Its mildest form is the accepted sport of the day, and is applauded by our divines, statesmen and merchants.

RYAN AND SMITH MEET.

Referee Given the Fight T« Ryan In the Ninth Round.

Maspeth, I* I., November 26.—Tommy Ryan and "Mysterious” Billy Smith met before the Empire Athletic Club last night to decide the welterweight championship of Anvcrlca. This Is the fifth time that the two men have coroe together, and in their previous contests the fighting has been lively. The crowd looked for a good battle last night, and probably would have seen one if Referee Tim Hurst had not stopped the contest In the ninth round, much to the disgust of-the crowd. He awarded the fight to Ryan, and this raised another howl. The conclusion was unsatisfactory and it is probable that the two men will come together again. For eight rounds the fighting was even and then Ryan assumed the aggressive, and at the close of the round had his man on the ropes. In the ninth the fighting was fast and furious. Both men were weakening when Referee Hurst stopped the battle and gave the decision to Ryan. Grim and Blackwell. “Kid” Grim and Jimmy Blackwell have signed articles of agreement for a twenty-five-round contest, which is to take place Just outside of Marion county within the next three weeks. Friends of both men have been trying to match them for several weeks, but they did not get together until last night. The fight will be for $50 a side and the gate receipts. These two men recently had a lively battle near Maywood in which Blackwell was bested. It was one of the best fights ever seen in the county, and the coming mill will probably be just as good, as both men are nervy fighters.

Pyramid Pile Cure Cures Piles Quickly. Painlessly. Without Dancer People go along for years suffering with piles. They try this and that and the other thing, from carrying a buckeye to getting treatment from a physician. They obtain temporary relief, maybe, but they are never quite cured. A little strain In lifting, excessive fatigue, a little constipation or a little diarrhoea and the piles come back. They don’t seem to amount to much, but they banish sleep and appetite. No position Is comfortable. There is Intense local pain and that dreadful feeling of weight In the perineum. Maybe In the early stages some of the many salves on sale will afford temporary relief. If the case is of long standing, there Is only one speedy and sure remedy. It is Pyramid Pile Cure. Even in light cases it is the safest thing to use. Other applications may cure and may not.
