iy7. HERE'S a dark man coming with bundle orn," and he done up In ranva armor until he look like a babo In awsddllng clothes. Rut he'a not a babe, and hta bundle la a paeksge of woes for the other fellow. He la the arid Iron warrior, and maybe he'll be tha hero of the ram put before the enow nf winter have blotted out the graas of ftimmer. The foot ball player will have the renter of the stage anon.

The bane ball men are. In the language of the vaudeville house, "finishing In one." while the foot hall men are grouped Just behind the Vffaln, which will aoon roll up and reveal tif In all their glory, while the plaudits that have been the recompense of a aplen-dld baaa ball season die away as the fan waits for the opening of the new sport. It la conceded on all sides that the season will be full of aurprlses. No changes having been made In the rules governing play, the strategy that has been elaborated during tha eiimmer will stand without change, and tha new pUya will be given a full chance to prove of what aervlce they arc. Just what these are to be la yet a secret with the coaches.

Borne will be baaed on the forward pass, tha possibilities of which are many. Ruecess In this line will require mora of skill than waa asked under the old game. The advantage of the play la apparent, aa well aa Ita dlfflcultlea, and If It la developed to the point where It becomes an Important factor It means that more real skill will be Injected Into tha game than haa been made a feature alnce punting aaa put forward as a factor In offense aa well aa defense. Kicking Is to be still farther developed, and all the big teams are putting a premium on this department. Eckeraall, so far the highest development of the kicker, haa shown what may come from a man who can direct hla punta with accuracy, and In his wake many are following.

It It not altogether on the goal dropped from the field that the aide gains. for the kicker who can make aura of fifty or sixty yarda on a punt and give his side time to get down the field Is a distinct element of strength both In defense and On these two points most of the stresa Is laid, and as both tend to an open game, foot ball Is sure to be greatly Improved from a spectator's point this season. But the old-time line work will net be abandoned and the new game Is not to be revolutionary In any of Its aspects. Locally Crelghton la Intending to put cm the field the moat promising team that has yet worn the This school has always had a scrappy bunch of players, and with Ita neir coach the prospects were never better. The student body la larger this teason than ever and this asnures better support for the team, so that one of Ita problems will be lighter.

Omaha has al ways given the Crelghton team support, but not all that-It deserves, and an effort la to be made thia season to get out better attendance at tha games. It means much for the boys to feel that they are appreciated by tha cltlsena and a good foot ball team must have the sustenance of liberal patronage. Bellevue will also ask for soma Omaha support, and deserves It, for the team from this school has always held high rank In tha Nebraska Interscholastlo contest, despite Ita limited material, and tha plana for the coming season are along lines th.xt will Insure good ball at Bellevue. Omaha. High school team la to be revived aAd an effort made to get athletics there iipllc to where they once were, when Omaha waa a real leader In high schoel affairs of Nebrask Nebraska's foot ball team for the coming aeaaon looks good aa far aa It has got together.

"King" Cola still has to determine Just what material he will have, but la cer tain of sufficient seasoned timber to build a good framework. Even tha new men on the team are In a sense seasoned, for the operation of the freshman rule Is bringing men who Weia given practice last year, but not played, and who come with the advan tage of 'varsity training at least. This Is of great help, for It does away with the rawness that ta encountered in the high school output and secures recruits that will be of aervlce from the start. Nebraska Is ambitious to win again aupremacy lost last year to Kanaas and under ita new coach haa high hopes. Ita schedule Is a hard one.

but not mora ao than tha cornhuakera have faced in days gone by. and if the Scarlet and Cream does not wave triumphant after Thanksgiving It will not be because the 'varsity has not had a good team, or that the team has not had loyal support. If McAleer could only keep hla team going right the winter no question would be raised aa to tha outcome of the next year'a fight In tha American. The only trouble with the Browns la that it took too long to get tinder headway; Denver la about the only spot where any heartache aeema to have followed the West-ern league season. Maybe If Frank Chancs would take the Cuba out thtra aome of the local "experta" would be satisfied for a time, but not for long.

St. Louis Browns haven't played any favorites. Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit and Philadelphia were taken in a row. Just to show that all look alike to the Browns And yet tha St. I.oula papers all roast the team.

Soma or tne sporting "experts" say that big Hackenschmldt Is going back, and point to tha fact that a lot of wrestlers are after nun. to lata none have gotten ahead of him. and that a what really counts, One enjoyable result of the Gans-Brltt affair has been a most gratifying silence on part of tha Brttta, Now If Joe could only get to two or three mora of the bunch, hew happy me might all be. vt ni ao you suppose wouia nave hap. ned If Denver, Dea Molnea and Lincoln had really wanted to win.

It can't change the results of the season, Omaha still has tha flag. If Ban Johnson only make If stick on the pop bottle thrower, he will have done a aervlce for the game.

ALCOHOL IS THE MOST AVAILABLE fcxpcrlmeata how Ita talaf I neler Working Conditions Maa Proved ItelUhle and IVoaoralcal.

It UiNlJON, Sept. LI. -The fuls committee of th Moior I'nlon hoB submitted a report on the projerties of possible substitutes for patrol. A heavier petroleum spirit, they are of opinion, might be tried, and motors us ing paraffin, some of which are already on the marke are worthy of attention. Coal dut might bo burnt explosively In suit ably designed engine, but unfortunately ash and tor are deposited on combustion, and cause much trouble In the cylln der and at the valves.

Another possible fuel ta gas from producer fitted to the car. From many points of view, but particularly ns regards flexibility, such an equipment would be undesirable. Benxol, a by-product obtained during the distillation of coal In the manufacture of coal gas, has. also been put forward. It Is richer In carbon than is petrol, and would therefore need to be diluted with sonic substance or spirit auch as alcohol, more deficient In carbon.

If It were used in an engine de- algncd to tuke petrol. All these proposed substitutes for petrol being, like coal, of mineral origin, are limited In quantity, and sooner or later the supply will be exhausted. The Ideal fuel would be one of vegetable origin, the production of which would require no great Interval of time, so that the supply could be regulated to the Immediate demand. In thla connection It Is of Interest to note that the extraction by man of fuel from vegetable products cor responds, In a way, to the process of nature, by which the vegetable products of remote agea are converted Into tho mineral fuels of tho present day. Not aa Ideal Fael.

In the present state of knowledge, alco hol, though not an Ideal fuel. In relation to existing conditions. Is the most promis ing fuel of vegetable origin. For Industrial purposes It can be prepared from beet, potatoes, peat or grain, and, If Ita use became general, the country would be ren dered Independent for foreign eunnllea. Thla consideration is probably responsible.

In a great measure, for -the farslghted policy of encouragement adopted by the French and German governments, and par ticularly by the latter, towarda thn use of alcohol Industrially. In Germany the alcohol motor has been a commercial succers for many years, especially In agricultural and mining work, and the number of en-glnea Is rapidly increasing. In Bralaln de-vtloyment )iaa been retarded by the high cost of excise supervision which the In dustrial alcohol has to hear. From beet and potatoes It can be produced for less than a shilling a gallon, but the excise duties bring It up to two shillings. When peat la used the cost Is as low at three pence per gallon.

Advantages of Alcohol. The calorific value of 90 per cent alcohol la only about 65 per cent of that of petrol, hence a greater volume Is consumed for the same power, and also the Initial pressure is less. The fuel has, however, many compensating advantages. In the first place It Is much safer to handle; Its flashpoint Is over sixty degrees centigrade, whereas that of petrol la ten degrees centigrade. Moreover, it Is extlngulahable by water In case of fire, while petrol floats on the water spreads the flame.

Lower trans port and insurance rates may therefore be expected. In the engine Itself a more uniform pressure on the platon, higher compression, and greater flexibility are ob tained. Combustion la more perfect, and the flame la propagated, comparatively speaking, at a slow rate. The resulting pressure being more uniform than In the petrol engine, a lighter flywheel may be used, and a car fitted with an alcohol motor will experience lege vibration. In internal combustion engines, the efficiency depends other things being equal on tha degrees of compression of the explosive mixture attained juat before firing, and the compression Is limited by the Ignition temperature of the working substance The Ignition temperature of alcohol la conalderably above that' of petrol, and con-aequently compression can be carried to a much higher point without fear of pre-Ignltlon.

The practical limit of petrol Is about eighty pounds per square Inch, but for alcohol 300 pounds has been passed. and In Germany research work is being conducted with engines using a still higher compression. The Ignition temperature In alcohol engines can be controlled by adding water to the spirit, the resulting mixture being perfectly homogeneous. Automobile Notes.

ATA PRIZEFIGHT IN 1874 Tough Men Saw Billy Edwards Whip Sam Colyer. PLEASANT NIGHT ON STEAMBOAT Experiences ef es York Ilrwker Who Waa at the Contest noli, herr aad rocket picking Part ef rrweedtage. B'lly Edward's death the other day re minded a man of the experience he had when he attenied the fight tn which Edwards won the lightweight championship rom Bam Colyer. He said: The fight came off August 11. 1874, on the Ohio river below Plltshurg.

I was then a broker In New York, and was requested by one of my largest customers to go to see thla fight. The steamboat was to leave Pittsburg at midnight. We were directed to a gambling house, called Frenchle's. where we bought from Barney Aaron, the second of Bam Coyler, two ateamboat tickets for 15 each, and two for the inside ring at $2 each. We then went to the Monongahela house and rigged ourselves out In rough fishing suits.

That the clothes were suitable we soon found out, for wherever we went the Small boys would shout, ''There goes two of them!" We put our money, except that which we had received as "change out of a bill. In the soles of our socks. Out of this change we had bought some cold chicken and -sandwiches. In the evening we went to a variety theater where Colyer's brother was acting. Going out between acta we got a tip to hurry to the boat, as more tickets had been sold than the boat would hold, and the jtart was to be an hour earlier than advertised.

When we reached the levee In the dark and fog we saw no steamboat, but a very large coal scow bow on to the levee. Reception at the Boat. There was a very large crowd at the landing and Barney Aaron and Tom Allen, with lanterns and revolvers, stood at the head ot the boarding plank. As soon as they had taken our tickets and we had passed down a short ladder Into the hold we each had our arms pinned and our assailant quickly went through us, a lantern being held up In front of each of us so that they could make a clean Job of It. We Informed them that we had nothing but our lunch.

1 had forgotten the 17.60 change from the 110. They got this, and held It up In front of me while they counted it. We then stood to one aide and watched them go through the others as they came on board. One young man claimed that he had nothing, and at the same time said that he waa a newspaper reporter and waa therefore exempt. He had boots on In which they found a sliver watch and some funds.

A stout German, who did not know that they had gone through htm, was asked by one of the men who carried a lantern, what time It was. He found his watch gone, and they told him that he must have dropped It. The victim and all the gang got on their knees to hunt for It. Some enterprising man had a small shanty erected In the middle of the scow Intending to furnish lunches during the night. His whole stock and his change were captured In a few minutes.

The crowd was so dense that moving about was Impossible, and wa were almost In total darkness, and were then showered with cobblestones by the crowd. In the confusion Horace and 1 went down In the coal dust between the timbers. I think wo were covered up three or four feet deep, while the steamer with a cable was towing us out Into the river. They soon found that we were too many and too rough a crowd to be let on board the steamboat. Getting; Aboard the Steamer.

"Our barge, Ohio faahlon, was pushed ahead of the boat. A row of men above us on the after deck of the barge with revolvers kept us off the steamer. We managed to, get close to them and I offered 15 for each of ua If they would pull ua up and let ua on board the steamer. "They asked to see the money. I told them It waa In my shoes, and that I would pay them by the light of the boiler when on board.

They agreed, but told us 'we would have to climb and be pulled up quickly or the mob below would pull us back by the legs. We got aboard all right without losing our legs or shoes. "On the main deck was a large saloon which was used by picnic parties for danc ing, there being a piano at one end of the saloon. The floor was marked out in squares, which were occupied and rented by gamblers for their outfits. But we three were the only passengers In sight.

"There were only two staterooms. Billy Edwards had one. and presently the boat stopped and 8am Colyer. who came aboard from a rowboat, took the other and opposite one. About thla time Warry Ed-waras, Billy's brother, was brought on board badly cut on th-) head by the ahower of cobhlestonea.

He waa laid on the piano, and no doctor being on board I washeaand bound up hla wounds, and afterward put him to bed In Billy Edwards' stateroom. Mob Takes Charge. "Shortly afterward the mob on the barge were let. or broke, through. At any rate, they awarmed into the saloon.

The llghta were allot out and I understood that the gamblers were renevea oi tneir i any rate, later on none of their games I was in sight. Aaron had a large closet full of wines and liquors for a private party that we were to meet down the river. Thla was broken open. The cases were brought out, the necks of the bottles were knocked off and the contents dlspoaed of. "Horace and I retreated to the stern of the boat.

From the kitchen we got benches and tablea. made a barricade, behind which we alept until daylight, when I was awak- ened by a atruggle on top of me.

"The man hearing Horace call me by name said that I was as much of a pickpocket as he was, and that he had seen me working the crowds at the Erie ferry. As this was the ferry that I used dally as a commuter It put the joke on me and put us In good hemor. "Our friend told of the haul they had made on the scow, even describing my be- lis inirl th 7 VI which Ih.I obtained from me wa. about the largest haul they had taken from anyore. "I then went to Billy Edwards' stateroom to get our lunch, which I had left there.

As the lunch was handed to me through, the door a man Jumped at me and said that it was hia lunch. On stating that It belonged to me he made a lunge at me with a large I ran and got on to the hurricane deck, cxtrss.

"Hardly had the crowd started to go up the bluff when we were charged by the sheriff and his numerous deputies, armed mostly with pitchforks, and, although the Irishman, the owner of the farm, yelled at ua to come on and not to mind the sheriff, the latter, with his men, drove the crowd back on board the several steamboats.

We then went down the river to a point where the lln runs between Ohio and West Virginia. There had been a fight there a year before and thla point waa selected ao that In case of arrest It would be hard to say In which Btate the fight was pulled off. "Barney Aaron and Allen landed first and put guards about the only farm house. I was shown where the ring was to be pitched and we Immediately got on the branch of a tree directly over the proposed ring, which was a belter place than any Inside ring, for, Indeed, there was none. "Barney Aaron seconded Bam Colyer and Arthur Edwards acted for Billy Kdwards.

Edwards In every round pounded and cut Colyer's face with his long left arm blows. So long was his reach that Colyer waa unable to touch him, and devoted his energies to round right swings, but they all came too short. "Before the battle waa ended Colyer's face waa like a piece of raw liver, cut with Edwards' bare knuckles. There were no gloves of any kind used In those days. Edwards won In eleven rounds lasting twenty-four minutes and It was always said without ever being struck.

On the War Home. "After the fight there was a rush for the river. Our steamboat waa not In alght, but we were bound to get to New York aome way or other. We hired a rowboat to take ua across to the railroad. We had hardly left the shore when part of the crowd ran after us, and, jumping In, swamped us.

"After they had gone we emptied the boat and were put across. Going through the wooda we met parties leaded down with the commonest kind of farm house plunder. At the railroad station Horace and I were, I think, the only ones that bought tickets. The steamboats to getythe crowd away had ferried the crowd across the river, and they swarmed about the station. "How many of them were able to get on board the cars I do not know.

I never saw any conductor auk for tickets. The mob deserted the train entirely opposite Pittsburg, being afraid of arrest, and we had the cars to ourselves into I'lttshurg.

NEBRASKA HOPES ARE HIGH (Continued from Page One.) team something II hasn't ha4 for years-two star quarterbacks. The coaches refuse to take an entirely optimistic view of the prospects for the team, in spite of the fact that six men are back, together with enough of last year'a most promising scrubs to make up a couple of teams of considerable strength.

Coach Cola Is quoted as saying that not a man on the eleven Is sure of his Job, with the possible exception of Captain Weller. Thla statement la taken cum grano rails by a good many of the supporters of the team, to whom several of the men, both new and old, look decidedly good. T. H. Matters, an Omaha boy who played all last year at tackle, haa attracted especial attention.

Matters has gained both In girth and height since the last season and Is now a veritable giant. This has not Ititereferd with the acquisition by him of considerable speed, in which he was somewhat lacking laat year. Bo far he haa had no opposition whatever for hla old Job and appears to have it cinched, despite the warning of the coaches. First Game Next Week. Training will take on a more serious aspect thun ever next week, which will end with the first game of the season.

Peru normal being played 8alurday. The following Monday the training table will he started. Probably no more thun a full team will be sent to the table the first week, the veterans being chosen first and additions being made aa the other men allow the desired development. At Nebraska the objection to training tablea which caused their abolishment at the conference unlveraltiea haa Jeen largely done away with, through the exaction from the men of the same board fees they would have to pay elsewhere. Thia leaves no room for petty grafting, auch aa for- nu-rly waa much complained of.

The I charge for meals served to men on the table, as agrui to lietween the board and the hotel at which the table will be aet, In J'l ner man a week. Of thia amount the athletic board will not pay more than 14 50 and doean't expect to pay more than 1 3. The total appropriation made for tne table ia fC50 for the season. I The most probable lineup for the 'varsity 1 at the opening of the Season will be some- lllle th': Center. Collins or Frum; guards, Kwlng and Harvey: tacklea.

Matters and Hart; ends. Beltxer. Burnett, I'atten, Denslnw or Chaloupka; quarter. Cooke or Minor; halves, i or Chaloupka; full. Craig or Kroger.

The race for the end positions la warming up and several candidates may make a good fight for the Jobs. Bill Chaloupka was playing at one end a rrt of this week and was doing good work there In spite of Ills weight. It Is considered possible that he muy be given a chance to show what lie can do there. Manager Eager has a letter from Mtk Denalow. In which the latter that he ia detained at homr the serious illness of his mother, which may result in.

keeping him out of the game this year. Tie- tone of the letter was hopeful, however, and Denslow's pre, ence is being counted on.
