OLSON AGAIN SHOWS HIS SUPERIORITY

Defeats Peterson, Pacific Coast Wrestler, in Handicap Match. TURK AND OLSON TO GO. INDIANAPOLIS WRESTLER GIVES SUBJECT OF SULTON ANOTHER ' CHANCE TO DEFEAT HIM ARTICLES ARE DRAWN. Olson threw Peterson three times last evening and had twenty-nine minutes to spare. To bo more explicit under the terms of the match pulled off at the Coliseum, Olson was to down the Pacific coast demon three times in seven ty-flve minutes, or forfeit the match. Mr. Olson performed this stunt In exactly forty-six minutes. Peterson fought gamely from start to finish, and whenever he had the opportunity he took the offensive, but he didn't have many opportunities. According to the official time keeper, the first fall was made after seventeen minutes. The other timers caught it at twelve minutes. The second fall was accomplished with a full Nelson in fourteen minutes and the third fall was made In fifteen miutes. Olson dearly outclassed his burly opponent, and did not appear to exert himself greatly in pulling down the long end of the purse. He gave a glimpse of his skill at the game in the last falL Peterson secured a good hold on him and Olson went to his back; but promptly squirmed out of the position and in a fraction of a second had the shoulders of the Tacoma man squarely pinned to the mat. After the match Peterson made a hit with the crowd by announcing that there might be some wrestlers who could beat Olson, but he was not 'is eluded in the list. Bob Manogoff, the Turk, acted as referee, and his work was satisfactory. Bob challenged Olson for a match here next week, no holds barred. This arrangement would permit the strangle hold and Olson declined to accept the challenge. He said "choking" was not wrestling and was barred by the Police Gazette rules. He offered to meet the Turk with the strangle hold barred. - ARTICLESJ3IGNED. Finish Bout to be Fought Between ; Turk and Olson. ' In the Palladium office this morning Charley Olson and Bob Manogoff, the Turk, entered into an agreement for a finish bout to be pulled off at the coliseum next Wednesday ev ening. This contest will probably be one of the most exciting seen here this winter. The articles of agreement entered into by Olson and Manogoff are as follows: "We the undersigned hereby agree to wrestle a catch-as-catch-can match to the finish at Richmond, Indiana, Nov. 18, , 1908, beginning at 8:30 o'clock, sharp; Police Gazette rules to govern the contest and the use of grease, rosin and any and all unfair tactics barred. The referee shall be selected on or before the day of the match and be suitable to both parties. Unfair tactics shall consist of gouging eyes, throttling, biting, kicking. We agree, also, to wrestle under the management of promoter M. Charlson H and' to deposit this day (Nor. 13, 1908) $50 for our appearanoe and for the fulfillment of this agreement In, all its details. The winner of this contest shall be awarded the entire gate receipts .(). Signed, Chas. Olson. Bob Manogoff. O. Owen Kuhn. witness. ' WILL EARLHAM WIN? Some Predictions Made That OePauw Will Go Down In Defeat. SUPPORTERS OPTIMISTIC. By T6rt. The eyes of all the foot ball fans In this part of the state will tomorrow be turned in the direction of Reid Field, where Earlham and Depauw will dash. The meeting of these two ancient enemies is certain to attract a large crowd. While Earlham will not have its best team In the field against the Methodists, it will have the best elev en out that has represented the Quaker Institutions this season. The team has been practicing in fine form all week and the hopes of its admirers are at a high pitch. The first of this' week predictions were made that Earlham would probably hold Depauw to a low score. The fine work of the Quakers since then has so brightened the outlook that today predictions are being made that the Quakers will win the game. Thi3 view, however. Is probably a little too optimistic, and . if Earlham holds her old rivals to two touchdowns she will make splendid showing. DePauw has a well trained, well drilled and fairly fast eleven this year and, on paper at least, appears to outclass the Quakers. lATCSKTIAt Juat larned tht Gold Mdl Flour !

All that remains now to complete a season of surprises is for Michigan to wallop Penn Saturday 40 to O. Princeton to defeat Yale 50 to O, the cancellation of the Harvard-Dart mouth game for a lack of interest and for Yale to beat Harvard by dropping eight goals from the field. Coach Leo Detray of Chicago and Pauxtis and Keinath of Penn saw Cornellplay Amherst Saturday. It's a long time since a Yale eleven had two touchdowns scored upon it in oneafternoon, as happened in the Brown game Satrday. Penn will send several hundred rooters to Ann Arbor for the Michigan game Saturday. A New York writer ranks the big elevens as follows: Yale, , Harvard, Dartmouth, Penn, Carlisle, Annapolis, Princeton, Cornell, Brown, West Point, Syracuse. Walter Eckersall picks Chicago as the logical western championship eleven. Cornell plays Chicago Saturday, and the game will afford a good comparison between eastern and western foot ball. Elberfeld has announced that he is willing to be traded to some other club, so It should not be so very difficult for the new manager to settle his hardest problem. At the annual meeting of the National League, of course, the election of officers will come up for considera fl'S TRIUMPH OVER THE A'S By Taking Three Games They! Land in First Place.

Keep During tho past week at the high school, attention has been turned towards, basket ball, and football dropped, but only for a week, for commencing next Monday, the high school football warriors will again begin their nightly journeys to the public school play grounds to prepare for the game Thanksgiving with the Piqua high school at Piqua. The football men held a meeting at the high school this week and Coach Horton pointed out that unless every man turned out every evening for practice, the game would be called off. In basket ball three practices have been held at the Garfield gymnasium, and at each, there have been from, twelve to sixteen men out. Coach Horton expects to have strict training rules and has asked every candidate to pledge himself not to miss more than two practices a month and the following have signed their names Graves, Acker man. Scott, Davrs, Wann, Spangler. Thornburgh. Haas, Taggart, Halsley. Meyers, Shaffer, Harris, Brown and Allison. STANLEY IN WEST. Former Earlham End It a Wire Chief. Raymond Stanley, known to Earlham students as "Red," one of the greatest ends the college ever had. Is wire chief of the telephone company away out at Great Falls, Montana. "Red" worked as a lineman one summer. The next year at Earlham he found use for his skill with the climbers in removing class flags from the tops of the tall sycamores In front of Earlham Hall. Since leaving college he has kept climbing until now he occupies a seat in the office and tells others how to do the work.

tion. There does not seem a chance of Col. Pulllam being displaced from the executive. Those on the Inside say the only dissenting vote will be that of the New York club. The week of December 6 to 12 will be a busy one for the base ball magnates and New York. Ban Johnson will line up the American league moguls for the annual gabfest at the Hotel Wolcott Wednesday, December 9. Of course the national commission, too, will have to get in on the limelight about the same time. It looks very much as if the Navy eleven had struck its second wind. Jack McMasters is pretty sure to have his charges ready for the Army game. Because Yale had a hard time with Brown there seems to be a general tendency to proclaim Harvard a victor over the Blue without taking into consideration the fact that Yale's ' is one of the best elevens of the year on paper the very best. Coming right down to hard pan, Yale's showing against Brown was not much better than Princeton's against Dartmouth. Yale has shown better form throughout the season than Princeton, a much more dependable attack, but in the game which she was expected to cut loose with power she did very little better than Princeton against Dartmouth. It will be two chastened elevens that clasli at Princeton Saturday. YALEII Crimson and Eli Football Elevens to Clash on Nov. 21. STUBBORN CATTLE EXPECTED Regeneration cf Cambridge Teem Has Been Talk of Gridiron Experts. Bath Clevena Have Two Great Kickers Yale's Strcng Dack Field. The football elevens of Vale mid Harvurd v. Ill tsi!ie t In? field at Vale oval, in New Haven, on Nov. J1 and light cut once lure their animal gridiron battle. Yale will lie the favorite, for those wLo have watched the development of the two elevens and seen them in action do not hesitate to predict that Harvard Is doomed to defeat. It might be well to postpone judgment, however, until the referee blows his whistle for the last time, as the crimson players will not acknowledge defeat without a stubborn fight. Those who are predicting a rout for Harvard are likely to be mightily surprised, for while Yale should win on all football form she wiil not fiud herself at a pink tea in New Haven. There has been ample evidence that Harvard has learned the new game to a nicety. The use of the forward pass has been the direct means of several of her big scores. How much this means can be appreciated only by one who has seen an eleven try to play old football against a team well versed iu the new. Another feature of Harvard's game has been the strength aud speed of the backs. Six of them have been used this season. They are White, Corbett, Smith, Kennard, Leslie, rorcheimcr and Ver Weibe. Cutler has bceu developing into one of the best all around quarterbacks that have ever played at Harvard. His build is precisely like that of Tad Jones, and his work is almost as keen. Crowley seems to be an iron man at right end. This plucky little player has gone through many games this season uninjured and has showed signs of making one of the fastest ends since Dave Campbell's days. At center Nourse has been playing In much th form that Pat Grant played last season. McKay at left tackle has braced up and is How one of the most valued men on the eleven. Hoar at left guard was a' prominent factor In the reversal of form made by Harvard in the Yale game last fall. His work, with a long, rangy tackle like Fish beside him, will make the right side of the Harvard line far from the easy proposition that opposing backs found It last fall. At left guard Captain Burr's worth and ability are too well known to be treated here. His plays this season bear the evidence of his four years experience, and, by the way, when he la graduated he will have the distinction Qf being .fcJast man to pla tout

FOOTBALLHARMFUL SAYS PROFESSOR

Head of Biology Department At Earlham Has Unique Thsory. LOGICAL REASONS GIVEN. SAYS THAT FOUNTAIN OF ENERGY IS EXHAUSTED AND ACTUAL GAMES DO MUCH TO WRECK PLAYERS' PHYSICAL MAKEUP. Although he has never opposed the layrng of football at Earlham college Prof. David W. Dennis, head of the biology department at Earlham, has :nformed the students that the game 's harmful to young men because it saps their physical energy. For several years many arguments have been advanced why football should be abolished but, so far as known, has enered the field against the great col'ege snort with a brand new argument. ; In his address to the students. Prof. Dennis stated that football practice was a most beneficial exercise, but that the actual playing of the game vas exceedingly harmful to the play-v:-s. "The grape susar stored in the liver if a human being is the source of his hys'cal energy. 1 have found that vlien a young man participates in a football gnme he draws so heavily on 'is physical energy that by the time 'It nnis is finished he has exhausted !i the grape sugar in hi3 system. 1 "pj.il 'i;s liver is again stored with 'Ms energy producing substance he is bliped to draw upon his nervous sys?v. for the required amount of physical t-n Tgy. T;iis is abnormal and has t e affect of d sorganizing and ruin::ig the nervous system," was the t:itor.:ent made b:' Prof. Dennis. He "advanced no reason why the irape sugar in the liver of a day laborer was not exhausted after ten ours of work handling a pick or a shovel, which work is said to be far nore strenuous than a hours rough and tumble play on the gridiron. Notwithstanding the warning given the football warriors of Earlham col"ega that they are exhausting their physical energy and crippling their nervous system, "it is quite probable that all the young men on the Quak-! cr team will enter the game tomor-' row against Depauw entirely oblivious to the gloomy picture drawn for their especial benefit by Prof. Dennis. I years on a ilurvar" rontrs. The strength of the Yale team is well distributed, although at times her ends have shown weakness. The return of Captain Burch and Kllpat- j rk-k Is expected to strengthen these positions. Tfie line, though heavy, is fast aud aggressive. Not only do the players make holes for the. backs in good fashion, but help them along in good style. Yale has in her back field the best set of any of the colleges. Coy. rhilbin, Wheaton, Brides and Murphy are a set that have been tried in former championship games and have not been found wanting. Yale is strong enough to stop any ' consistent advance of the ball, while Harvard will have to Improve to a marked degree In this respect o wlth1 stand the onslaught of the Yale backs headed by Coy and helped along by every man on the team. Far back in 1901 Harvard beat Yale 28 to 0. Since then Yale has trailed ! the crimson In the dust 6lx times, and Harvard ha not scored a single point New Umpire For American League. California is gradually acquiring an identity as a recruiting station for the major league baseball teams. Not content with grabbing off the best coast league players, they have descended upon the umpires. "Bull" Perrine, who has been the indicator mau in the Pacific Coast league for several years, has signed up a contract to umpire in the American next year. - Wheu Perrine first started in the Coast league he had a rumpus with a player who was telling Perrine many things about his lack of knowledge of the national game. The iudkator man stood for it for a time and then ordered, the Irate one to the bench. As he walked off the diamond the player turned and said: "Yon bullheaded chump, what you don't know about the game would fill a bookl" At first they called him "Bullheaded" Perrine. and then It was shortened to Just plain "Bull." May Try Cobb on First. If Tyrus Cobb was played at first base instead of in the right garden would he make good? That's the question that the baseball fans of Detroit are trying hard to solve at the present j time and one which Hughey Jennings j is reported to have answered In the affirmative. If it is true that the Tiger manager really believes that Cobb would make good on the initial sack It may come to pass that next season will find the leading batsman of the American league no longer acting as a "fly catcher," but instead tending the Initial station. Carlisle Indians Play Denver Dee. 5. Arrangements have been completed whereby the Carlisle Indians play the University of Denver at Denver on Dec. 5. The Indian management demanded a $3,000 guaranty, which was granted by the westerners after considerable discussion on the part of the athletic council of the university. Other western games for the Indians are Minnesota on Nov. 21, St. Louis university on Thanksgiving day and Nebraska on Dec. 1 or 2.

CHlCMfllOOKS" BEST Stagg's Football Machine Looms as Logical Western Champion.

CLASH WITH BADGERS NOV. 21 Maroon and Wisconsin Gm Wiil Be Final Contest For Championship In tho West Coach Barry Satisfies: With Work of Csdser Squad. Cy THOMAS F.CLARK. With only one more big game scheduled to play, that with Wisconsin on Nov. 21. ir now l.oUs. certain that Chicago university will again land the westeru football championship. The overwhelming defeat of Minnesota and the brilliant football displayed by the maroons in many games have satisned the enthusiasts of the gridiron game that Chicago university has another great fv:iilnll machine, versed iu all the possibilities of the uew game. The only question iu doubt is wheth er the maroons with their light line and backs can stand the hammering of Wisconsin. It is almost certain the backs and ends can Jrustrate the for ward passiug of the Badgers, and the problem for Coach Stagg to solve will be to build up a defense to stop the heavy mass play of Wisconsin. When Coach Darry of Wisconsin was asked to state what he thought; of the Badgers' chances against the i maroons he said: '"I am satisfied with the work thai the men have done during the past few weeks. They have shown that they have the rlsht tuQ iu them. It's up to thcin to get it out. Chicago will of courso, play the same style of game against us that it used against Min-, ncsota. Wisconsin's trouble at the be- j glnping of the season was the lack ol any team work. The men played wcl! individually, but there was a lack ol unity, which is so essential to championship teams. Recently, however, things have gone differently." A conspicuous feature of Wisconsin's recent games has been the work of Keekie Moll? the varsity drop kicker and quarterback. Coach Barry Is fig uring him in several of the forward passes. Moll's rheumatism had him in poor shape at the beginning of the season, but under the care of a specialist he has picked up wonderfully, although there is always the danger of a return of the malady. No one man has as yet been singled out by Coach Barry to do the punting. Moll. ex-Captain Messmer and Captain ,7 ' PAT FA OK, SENSATIONAL CHICAGO EUD. Rogers have all been taking a whirl at booting the leather, and all three havt done well. Who does the kicking in a game depends pretty much upon the play and upon the form shown at the beginning of the game. Chicago will depend upon the speed agility and ability of its players to manipulate the forward passes and oo side kicks, together with the kicking ol Captain Stcffen and Schommer, for a victory. Wisconsin will resort for the most part to the old tactics of hammering the line and mass on tackles, varied with an occasional end run oi forward pass, for its win. However, these plans may be upset at the start of the game and other forms of gaming ground" substituted, but it Is the general plan of battle so far as it can be forecast. Taking man for man, Chicago has the stronger team of the twe and will in all probability win the championship again. The probable lineup of the two elevens is as follows: Chicago IMght end. Page; right tackle. Falk; right guard, Kelley; centei Badenoch; left guard. Elliott or Ehr horn; left tackle. Hoffman; left end Schommer; quarterback. Captain Stel fen; right halfback. Crowley; left hall back, Iddings; fullback. Worth wine oi Schott Wisconsin Right end. Dean; right tackle, Osthoff ; right guard. Dreutzer: center, Stiebm; left guard, Messmer; left tackle. Boyle; left end. Captain Rogers; quarterback, Moll: right halfback. Mncklestone; left halfback, Culver; fullback, Wllce. Reached Hi Limit. Little Henry had been very naughty ad was shut up in a closet until he should express proper penitence for his misdeeds. Near by sat his mother, ready to extend pardon to the small offender at the first sign of sorrow. Minutes passed, but none came. At last a faint sigh caught her ear. Creeping silently to the door, she discovered the child seated on the floor in a disconsolate attitude. "Poor mer he muttered, with another sigh. "Why can't I get out?

Clean Sport. I wish to notify you that I am not interested with Charles Olson and M. Charlson In promoting wrestling exhibitions at the Coliseum. It was my intention to lease the Coliseum for every other Mooday this season, and give the public something first class In the way of clean wrestling matches, bring some of the best talent procurable here, and give the, lovers of good, clean sport something for their money. On Friday morning, Oct. 22 rd, Mr. Chas. Olsen, wrestler, came Into my office and accepted my terms to go against some good wrest Ier of reputation on Monday, Nor. 9th, and I so advertised the matter that I had arranged for a first class match for that date. Bat the Coliseum management leased the Coliseum for the same week to Messrs. Olson and Charlson to hold another match, and Mr. Olson going back on his agreement with me. I do cot believe that the public will long stand for fixed vp wrestling bouts, where both principals receive eren money, win or lose, but will demand nothing but the best, and conducted in a straight, legitimate and sportsmanlike manner, which I guarantee to do providing I am able to lease the Coliseum exclusively for this purpose.
