This honor Is rc Mow held by the Bute University, and all the practice up to the present time has been With the one Idea of fitting the OtoeoN to main the championship. While Notre Dame defeated Indiana last fall, and played a tie with Purdue, the first contest did not count, as It was proved that Netrs Dame played two professionals, Wsgaer aad Hsnlsy. In the Indiana game. This fall, however, the Notre Dame eleven Is strictly amateur, and all of her players nrs eligible. tn arranging the 1.

This week, la addidoa to the two-hour practice every afternoon, there has been an hour devoted to football la the morning and signal practice in the gymnasium la the evening.

Tiro Hen Unable to Play—Chance
For the Scrubs.
[Special te The Indianapolis Neva] RICHMOND. Ind.. October 24.—Coach Marshall, of Karl ham. is encountering dlfflcuttles this wee* in the way of crippled men. Ratcliff, the regular quarterback, on whom so much depends, sprained his ankle In the last scrimmage of the Butler contest. Saturday, and will probably be out of the game for a week or more. Grave, regular light-half, has not. yet recovered from the Iniury to his side received In the Miami game, over two weeks ago. and will probably not be ready to play before another week. Captain Chapman has resigned, and will play no more this year. Unthank, full-back, recalved slight Injuries In the Butler game, and has not reported for practice this week. Leslie will ho out of tpe game tho remainder of the season because of hit sprained knee. Griffin, left-end, to just recovering from a sprained ankle, and will not be out for practice until tho snd of this week. As a result of these disabilities the scrubs an working overtime, because of the chances they have of
making tho team.
Baldartn has been placed at full-bach, and la doing splendid work In punting. Shoemaker Is at left-half, and Hastings has been brought back from righttackle and placed at right-half. Oliver Rill Is playing at quarter. Roland James, former full-back on the Vincennes University team, is playing at right-tackle. From present appearances. Earlham will be compelled to place a
team composed largely of scrub* agi DePauw, at Greencastle, Saturday,
as there Is an abundance of rnattf.... coach Marshall thinks thera Is a chance to win. Marshall was not satisdqd with tha attempt at end runs Saturday, because of the lack of spaed shown. The men were very slow In cagrfing the ball around tho ends, largeljr^tne result of tha tardy formation ofXhe Interference. He also lectured them for their bad work tn handling tJA ball when It was kicked off. He. fomplimented them, however, on Aelr excellent defense

There has been little opportunity ss yet to get s line on the true form of the Wisconsin players. The playing schedule was arranged with excellent Judgment and the Badgers have been given a long practice season, not broken up by any big games which would force the coaches and tralnors to put the men on edge before tha rsal fight for the championship begins. The wisdom of the Wisconsin management In declining a game

A big delegation of students from DePauw will witness the game at Bloomington to-morrow between I. U. and Notrs Dame.

X. U.’a Crack Half-Back.
Great things are expected this fall of Clevenger, the crack Indiana University half-back. Although this ts his freshman year, he is considered one of- the “headiest’’ players In the State University eleven. He learned hts football In tile Muncie high school, and had little
difficulty in makl

Chicago a Disappointment. The Chicago University sloven has been a great disappointment this fall. While coach Stags has said from tha first of the season that he did not hope to turn out a team aa strong as the one which represented Chicago last year, many believed he was mistaken. It will take one. and perhaps two. years to bring the Maroons back to their 1899 form.

Harvard did not have a man laid up as a result of the game with West Point Saturday. Trainer McMasters has the crimson squad In better physical condition than ever before. Davis, one of the most promising ends at Princeton, was severely Injured In

In another year or two, could hold his own on any of the big Eastern elevens. The intense rivalry between Michigan and Illinois lends an added Interest to their meeting on Marshall field, next Saturday. In practice and games plays
two teams appear to be evenly Michigan to conceded to have er line, while Illinois is thought have the faster back field.

There to much rejoicing at Illinois thla week over the fact that Cook, the crack half-back, le again In shape to play. He was Injured two weeks ago and at first It waa feared be would be out of the gams for the rest of the season. He will play against Michigan Saturday.

Illinois piayers feel tbe same over their game with Northwestern, last Saturday, as did the State University boye ever their contest In Evanston the week before—namely, that Northwestern was decidedly lucky, and can claim little credit for the result. The Indiana and Illinois teams say that thsy were handicapped by the Chicago officials, who are always ready to penalise them, while they overlook flagrant violations of the rules on
the part of Northwestern.
Humblrd, of tho Princeton “scrubs,'* has attracted more attention by hie play at half-back than tbe regular candidates on the ‘varsity. He will doubtless be given a chance to show what he can do on the regular team before the eeason closes. In a practice game this week ho made a spectacular run of forty yards through the entire ’varsity squad, brushing aside five men who reached for him. He Is a freshman, and.

MISSIONARY ASSOCIATIONS. Higher Education of tho Negro— Winners of Price Essays. fiPRINGFIELD, Mass., October M.—At the second day’s session of the American Missionary Association's fifty-fourth annual meeting, the Rev. DeWltt Clark, of Salem. Mass., chairman of the special !.committee appointed for the purpose, offered a report on tho readjustment of all oengragatlonal missionary societies tn their relation to one another. Tbe report Will bo considered to-morrow. The Rev. Edward H- Bln*ton presented a report on Chinese missions. The Rev. JOslah Strong, D. D., of New Tork. spoke on "The Chinees In America and the Regeneration of China” The Rev. C. A. Vincent, of Illinois, preeented a report on .Indian missions, and the Rev. A. C. Garner, of the District of Columbia, presented a “Negro's Plea for a Negro.” President Horace Bumetead, of Georgia, spoke on the “Higher Education Of the Negro.” In part be said: “Tbe American negro Is In condition to receive. In due proportion, a much greater variety of education than many people have supposed. Tho four millions set free by the civil war have grown, probably, to nine millions, or nearly as many as the entire population of the United States In 1820. The more hopeful classes may be still small relatively to the whole mass of tha negroes, but they are too large absolutely, aad they are potentially too Important a factor In the solution of tho great problem to be safely Ignored. For the Individual negro who so far rises above the common mass of bto race as to be fitted to receive It, the higher education has a pre-eminently practical value. There la a practical advantage In the mere offering of such an educational opportunity to the Individual negro of exceptional ability. A very practical service which a college education renders to the individual negro la to teach him to think. Tho power of rational thought 1a ona which the past history of the race has not tended to cultivate. It to the lack of this power which constitutes one Of the chief elements of weakness In the negro of to-day. It Is not too •arty for the negro to learn that soma of tha opportunity and responsibility for the brain work of the world belongs te him, and that In the proportion that he Is able to embrace It and use It well, will his race achieve a development of Its powers, more nearly approaching that of other races, and so gain more and more the respect of their fellow-men.” This afternoon the winners In the prise ys on missionary themes £ Of the fifteen Sundaywho gained prize*, four-

President Ebbitts Bays That a Change Will Hill Baseball. President Ebbitts. of Brooklyn, to authority for the statement that there Will be no change In the reserve rule > this year. He aaya that the foundation of baseball rests on the ability of elub owners to absolutely control the services of their players, and a change In thla rule dtlll kill the game. The players know that tha reserve rule Is necessary, but they want It so modified that, after a certain length of time, they will he free to make new contracts. They want the rule limited to from three to live years. This question will be the bone of contention In the conference between the magnate# and players' committees. It to now thought that thla confersnes will be beld In Buffalo during tbe preeent week.
