HILLSDALE Hillsdale September 2S There has been a great deal of com ment raised over the questions in volved in the athletic problem here this fall Coach Whipple is going ahead as if nothing happened and at present there arc three like ly men who are ineligible but who will be tried out for the team The first game comes next Saturday at Notre Dame Reports front the Hoosier institution would indicate that the team there is not so strong as last year Stock is making the best showing of any of the new men He prob ably will be used at quarter Ho is fast and a good team general The great failing with the quarterbacks heretofore has been their lack of ability to handle the plays Hills defensive work last year was far superior to her offensive work Had the team been able to advance the ball successfully several of the games would have been much closer and possibly would have been won It was a noticeable fact that the high senoot team last year with as captain was able to use the college plays with great suc cess Stewart and Stock will be used for the punting Both are drop kickers Stock being especially good fn tills 'department Capt Watkins is much heavier than last year and is in fine condition With Watkins and Stewart in the half back positions Hillsdale will havethe best back fields in years There are several strong candidates for fullback Oliver played fullback for two years on the Reading team and he is being given a tryout Strick ler a husky Iowa lad with high school experience is making strong bid for honors and will prob ably get a place at end or full back

interest among Albion stu dents hovers on the gridiron where Coach Chadwick been working hard for a week with a bunch of practically raw recruits" Seven of the old are back but the interest seems to lag somewhat as all of the old men haw ot yet re ported for practice Hayes returned from St Ignav Wednes day where he has been spending the summer lie has been keeping jn condition ns beet he could and appeared in best of shape upon the field Wednesday afternoon Capt Hayes is one of the strongest halves in the intercollegiate and his ap pearance here will greatly strength en the back field Coach Chadwick seems to bo hav ing considerable difficulty in find ing a competent fullback Sackett has been tried in this posi tion but his presence is greatly needed in the line at tackle Brown of last second team has also acted in this respect but he is rather light for that nosition and would make a stronger man at quarter or end Several otjer men of last eleven would be fast enough for the position but they are needed badly to fill up other holes The position of quarterback also seems to be a puzzle Saunderson captain and quarterback of last year's eleven has been out in the moleskins this week but other matters have kept him from prac tice several nights has had a long experience in the game at qaurterback having played on Indiamapolis Manual Training school Lake View high of Chicago atd Lansing high teams before corning here At nearly every one of these schools he played quarter some of the time Saunderson how ever is a good man attend or at half and Coach Chadwick rpay see fit to shift his position to one of these two Barr who has been a sub on the for two years is another man who looks promising for the quarterback job Barr is small and fast and played the pigskin game at Ludington high He has been able to be out regularly so far this season and his playing shows an provement over that of former years The position at center is practically cinched by Skidmore who has played the game well there for two years The tackle posi tions seem to be rather doubtful at present Sackett will probably be in his old place at right but the position at Isft is still in the air Towsley the six footer from up the state has tn tried at tackle as have also Thornton and Pratt Thornton played a fast game at guard last year and has shown up well in practice this fall Pratt the Detroit Eastern high man seems rather light for the tackle position but he has been exhibit ing the football stuff regularly and it is expected that he will live up to the reputation he made in the Detroit interscholastic McKale will probably come in at his old posi tion at end as he is an old timer at that position is also a veteran quarterback and could run the team a3 well as any of them He may be given a chance at quar terback this fall if Coach Chadwick changes the players around James the colored player from the Show university eleven has been working out at the other half this week and he and Miller seem very probable men for that position Miller however may not parti cipate in the gridiron contests as his right wrist is in bad condition and he will be needed for baseball in the spring The football schedule has ben prepared this season under some difficulty as the change in the athletic management was not made until rather late A complete series of games has been arranged how ever with the exception of October 5 which is an open date The official schedule Is aq fol lows: October 5 open October 12 Kala mazoo at Kalamazoo October 19 Olivet at Olivet October 26 A at Albion November 2 Hillsdale at Hillsdale November 9 A at Lansing November 16 Alma at Alma November 23 Olivet at Al bion OLIVET Olivet Mich September 28 ootball stocks here have risen greatly this week The six places to be filled by new material are so well taken care of that the old scoring machine of last year will soon be forgotten The spirit of the team was never better and witn a hundred women students regularly cheering the men at their practice the players are spurned on to make the greatest efforts Never before has Olivet seen such speed on a football field The back field is composed of ten second men men that have the head and nerve to make their average weight of 160 pounds count against great odds The average weight of the team will be about 155 pounds and there will be no slow men on It This week Coach Kennedy has put on extra pressure to prepare for the Kalamazoo game today Among the new players Hillier of Mt Morris is proving to be the find of the sea son He weighs close to 170 pounds and so ably fills place at fullback that he Is likely to be picked for the All Michlgan full back at the close of the season Barry amantliat appeared Tues day Is making a strong bid for a guard position 'He weighs 170 and has had football experience at Laingsburg Arntsbuechler the big tackle from Traverse City is making good He is a stone wall in defense and a sure ground gainer on offensive work Edie and Gifford are alternating at halfback and are giving each other a race for the money Wade a senior in college is getting out for the first time and looks to be a winner He lacks experience but uses his head all the time The mainstay of the team is Hurl but and his ability as a drop kicker and an artist with the forward pass is Increasing every day The for ward pass works successfully on the scrubs because of the speed of the ends of the varsity team This play and wide end runs have worked every night against the reserves The college team seems to be able to score at will while the scrubs seldom make first down Coach Kennedy Is confident that he will have a team that will be with the leaders when the season closes ADRIAN Adrian Mich September ootball practice has been com menced this fall with the most flat tering prospects in years Coach Pamment and Capt Baxter are very optimistic in regard to the outlook for the season ive of last men are back including Baxter Landenslager and Arnot last sea most promising men Case the star quarter has not yet re turned but reports are current that he will register before the end Coach Pamment has made himself popular with the students in the little time since school began by his energy and knowledge of the game By Monday night it is thought that fully twenty fivo students will appear In Although the schedule is still incomplete two games have already been arranged with Detroit College two with Ypsi lanti Normal and one with Hudson CAMERON CURRIE CO BANKERS AND BROKERS Members of New York Stock Ex

buy ing to keep up the price of wheat unless help comes from sources not looked for at the moment The room trading element favors the bear side of the wheat market and the export er is not loading ur with the de ferred futures In case the present longs encounter a free movement of spring wheat the question would naturally arise as to the probable results The scarcity of cars in the northwest will be a factor in the matter of movement of the new crop and it is likely to be a great hind rance as many sections are now calling loudly for cars without get ting what they Carson Craig Co Dono van

them from being scared or if they are suddenly frightened says Popular Science Siftings they will squirt tiieir into the water and it would therefore be lost This fluid or milk is very valuable and each cut tie will yield about 15s worth a year It is secreted in a bag which can be opened and closed at will darken the water so that it may es cape unseen when attacked The best cuttlefish are procured in Chi na where for some reason or other they produce the best quality of When the farmer considers it op portune to milk the cutties he pro ceeds bv opening the sluices of the pond and gently agitating the wa ter The cutties then swim around the pond and as soon as one passes through the sluice is closed The cuttie passes down a small channel into a basin or metal receptacle and as

confi dentially wife Is a graduate of a diet and cooking school of the most up to date sort She sees that we never have a meal which perfectly balanced as to food values The things we eat are chosen with reference to that and not with re gard to whether we like them es pecially Well I can tell you old Aunt Laura with her table Just' groaning with forbidden indigest ible articles was a mighty welcome change to me never heard of carbo hy drates or phosphates or cellulose and she know a proteld if she met one in a bean porridge where by the way I believe they largely congregate But I tell you her fried chicken and fresh pork end tho finest things I've had in years My wife actually turned pale when she saw me eat and I know she was worried because we were six miles from a doctor alrlr

year Min neapolis Duluth and Chicago re ported receipts oi 745 cars against 526 cars last week and 627 cars one year ago The corn market was weak all day because of a slack demand large offerings of cash corn and a poor shipping call These factors offset the weather conditions which were considered threatening to the crop it being predicted that heavy frosts will follow the rains that have pre vailed for several days throughout the corn belt The close was weak Local receipts were 512 cars with 243 of contract grade The oats market was exceedingly dull but prices held firmer than those of
