Indication of High i ; The - teem that turns In a better f that will via the championship of the c That's what the knowing footballing persons la the Mississippi river dlstrlct tell yoo ' aad they seem to be quite correct la their assertions. ' : i Minnesota's 1916 prospects are much ; brighter than those .of any Minnesota eleres la many years. It has an at ;mostJ complete team of veterans to (pat lato taattle, and among those vet1 eraas It has a chap named Solon, who was called a "whole football team la J aba salT' by no less an authority than ; 9ob ' Zuppke, coach of the Illinois champions. Pelea ts the player who has made the MinnesOtlans of the present and peat forget every other star that ever deasad a Oopher moleskin a player superb, peerless. . toloa hat played on the lineend i played, a. woadarful same. Two years j ago he was an end and was an unanii mous all-western selection. Last year he 'played in the backfield, and once ! again he made the all-western team. - Solon a Wonder. ' !); Solon hits a line with a power that '. seams even more crushing than that ' of Heston's in the old Michigan days. ' Ahd when he hits he goes through for : huge galas. No line has ever been able to throw him back for consistent .losses: He runs ends with the fleetest of Maban, and he never has had an equal as a tackle dodger. He 'start at full speed and even after he 1 thrown he haa a trick of adding two to five yards more to his run ?y- his twisting and squirming. Deeasively, be is Just as wonderful an all-round marvelous football machine; driven by a set of brains such as few. footballers In the east or west possess. , Selofl will have quite a bit of asgistaac la his fight to make Minnesota supreme la the western football world this year. Seven of his mates of last year are back and all are sure Of again making the varsity team. Tewnley aad Mayer, the regular tickles last year, will be regulars. So -will ' be Ouist aad Boston, the great end of 1914; Blerman, one of the star halfbacks last year, and Sinclair, the giant guard. Only Four Regulars Gone. ' Df. Williams, coach of the Gophers, will have to And a center to take the place of Rosenthal, captain of' last year's team, a guard to replace the graduated Dunnigan, a quarterback in place of Erdall and a halfback to fill the gap left by Hamilton, who has left the -university. But the task does not seem difficult. Haedge, flrst substitute quarterback last year, is a great player and seems able enough to fill Erdall's empty boots: Long, a sophomore, . is also showing up well. . Hauser, the star tackle on last year's freshman eleven, seems of varsity calibre. He's big aad .husky, and probably will be converted iato a guard. There are four likely looking candidates. fOr. the. centering job and no trouble Is expected in finding a successor for the gone-but-not-forgotten Rosenthal. Weymari, Ballentyne and Kleffman all. of thettx stars of exceeding, brilliancy in their freshman days are the candidates for the other halfback po sition. Kienaian iookb oest so tar. . "Our prospects are very bright,' laid Coach Williams. "The squad this year is one of the best looking I have aver seen at Minnesota, and I look for the- boys to make quite a record for, themselves." WHITESIDE DRILLS EAHLII AM RECRUITS ON FUNDAMENTALS Earlham had its first scrimmage of the season Saturday. About thirtyflva men turned out and were .put through a series of light practices before the , heavy work was started. They punted the ball around the field and caught punts and dropped on the ball. Whiteside had them crawling on their hands and knees to get speed for recovering the ball after a fumble In scrijainage, aad also gave Instruction in tackling and blocking. .After the scrimmage the coach said that the men were , very green. .The only men. In the squad who appeared in : good : form were Meeks, lineman, ahd Captain BOWen and F. Mills In the back field. It will take a lot of hard work to round the squad into shape tor th game against Wittenberg Oc tober 3, when the first game . of the season will bo played. s Iv Rumanian peasants in favor of kaiser 'ZTJRICH, Sept 20.

CAPTAIN "PETE" RUSSELL AND COACH A. A. 8TAGG. "Pete" Russell is back in the University of Chicago, that and the fact that Alonzo A. Stagg, the veteran coach. Is still on the job, makes the students at that seat of learning very optimistic regarding the football outlook for 1915. Chicago lost her quoto of regulars via the graduation route, but thenPete Russell is almost a whole team in himself, and Stagg will surely find enough men to piece out the eleven. Russell Is one of those rare quarterbacks who has an' Innate sense of football, knows how to call for the right play at the right time, never loses his head, and can "carry the ball with the best of .them.. Last year. Russell was one of the sensations of the west. He is a marvelous booter. a sure daring tackle and a star at running through a broken field. Some of the regulars back In line include Flood, fullback; Gordon, halfback; Sparks and Whiting, guards, and Shull and Jackson, tackles.

PAT MORflfJ RANKS HIGH AS PHILLIES' LEADER

Pat Moran deserves ranking among the greatest baseball managers the game has ever known. It is the wonderful leadership of the red-faced, gray haired Irishman that has put the misit Phillies where they are today. When Moran took charge of the Phillies this spring, he found himself the possessor of one wonderful pitcher two hitters, a half dozen castoffs from other clubs and a bunch of unseasoned and unlikely looking youngsters. . "The outlook wasn't exactly promising," Moran said recently, "but I soon found that the boys had spirit that they were workers and . that they'd give me the best they had at all times. And they certainly have. Never In all my baseball career have I seen a gamer crowd of boys or a more hustling lot. They never quit. They're out there all the time, fighting until the last man Is out, and that is why we are leading some of the teams that seem to have the 'edge' on us in class." That's modest Moran's story of the great fight the Phillies have made all year but the story the. players tell gives the major portion of the credit to Moran. "He's the greatest manager in the world," say the players. "He's the life and the soul Of our team. A dozen times we'vebeen afflicted with 'glooms.' But Pat always rushed to the fore and stiffened up our wilting backbones. Eleven of the Phillies either were released or traded by other . clubs, These clubs didn't think they were good enough to keep around as substitutes, yet Moran injected them into the regular lineup and look where the Phillies are and where they have been all season. j First Baseman " Luderus, . who : is fighting it out for the batting leader ship of the league, was considered too clumsy by the Cubs and turned over to the Phillies as the bargain part of a trade. "Home Run Cravath was turned out by the Red Sox, Senators, and White Sox aad then sent back to the minors from where' he was later rescued by the Phillies. ""Outfielder Whitted was given to the Phillies by the Braves in part payment for Sherwood Magee. Outfielder Becker landed with the Phillies after being traded or released by the Braves, Reds and Giants.. . Bobby Byrne, third Backer, was traded by the Cardinals and Pirates and considered- "all in", when he anchored in Philadelphia. nfielder Stock was included as the "to boot" part of the Giant-Phillie trade. The same thing goes concerning Oscar . Dugey, infielder, with the Braves in-1914. r ' Demaree, who has been pitching better ball than any of the Giant pitchers, was traded . to the Phillies by th Giants.. Pitcher Chalmers was released by the Phillies last fail,-tried

The Pirates recalled ' him and then released him to the Phillies. Quite a. collection of . "stars," eh? AQUATIC MEET REVEALS GLASS of swir.ir.iERS Over thirty-five entries participated in the aquatic meet at Hawkins' lake on Saturday. Over 100 persons watched the sports. Probably the hardest fought contest of the day was the boys' 100 yard race which ended In a dead heat between Kenneth Parker and W. Ferguson, with E. Ferguson in third place. It was decided to race off the tie and after th boys had rested they took the water and Ferguson managed to beat Parker by two strokes. In the faacy diving contest between Moore and Parker, the officials could not pick a winner, so evenly . were the men matched, and they were both awarded prizes. The prettiest exhibition of the day was the fancy swimming contest. Every, stroke known was exhibited. The summaries: Men's 100 Yard Race: Won by F. Katte; Ivan Tony, second; M. Pitcher, third. Time, 1.30. Fancy Swimming: Won by Casper Parker; :E. J. Saettel,' second;- P. Smith, third. - Men's 50 Yard Race: Won by Ivan Tony; Roy Moore, second; E. J. Saettel, third. Time, 33 seconds.

BY OLD SPORT. George Whitted may give-Josh Da vore a battle tor the tittle "the luckiest man la baseball." Whitted was with the Cardinals up to the middle of the 1914 season, and then was traded to the Braves.- Was George glad? George was not George was gosh darned mad., that's what ha was! Att the time the deal was put through the Cards seemed to have a nic chance for the pennant, and the4 consequent share in the world s series spoils. . Tike Braves Just then, were trying to -push the bottom out of the National league. ' Well,' George" went to the Braves, because be waa forced to go and the Braves won the pennant and the world's series. ' Whitted got something like $2,500 as his share of the booty. - In the spring times of this year the Braves traded Whitted to the Phillies and gosh, how George did howl! HO dida't want to quit a club that looked like a repeater in the world's aeries to play with a joke outfit such aa the Phillies. But In the end George went. And now there's a beautiful ' chance for. George, as a member of those same "joke" Phillies to share in the cutting of another world's series. Ty Cobb, after hitting around .400 all season, slumped about twenty-five points. That still left him a average of .375 a mark far beyond that of any other clouter in the game. Yet the' Detroit fans are panning him for weak hitting. Can you beat it? Baseballlstlcally speaking, the fans are of the opinion that it was suicide for Charley Somers to sell Joe Jackson. .The southern slugger was about the only drawing card on the club. Bulldog's QQACH FRANK HtNKFf

Coach Frank Hinkey and Capt. Alex D. Wilson Yale has not forgotten that 44 to 0 defeat administered by the red sweatered brigade from Harvard last fall, nor will Yale forget it very soon. Yale thinks the story will be different this year. She has more of her regulars left than Harvard has, and she is relying strongly on the coaching of Frank Hinkey and the guidance of Capt. Alex. Wilson, who is also some quarterback. Harvard has nothing in the quarterback material line which looks as good as the veteran Wilson, from this early in the season.

FUTURE OF POLAND WORRIES' GERMANY BERLIN. Sept 20. The question of the future Of Poland continues to occupy the German press. With remarkable frankness Der Tag points out that it is a great mistake to suppose that the population of the occupied Russian Poland looks upon the Germans as liberators, as some papers have tried to make it appear. "It Is too early to discuss Poland's ultimate fate, but we realize that if the Russian wave flows back into those parts the entire population will declare themselves Russians." Die Post, organ of the German free conservative party, writes: "The campaign is. far from being over, but we may even now say this to the Polish representatives in the Austrian parliament, that- It was not to crown a king of Poland that German troops entered Warsaw. RUSSIANS AT WORK. PARIS. Sept. 20.
