Reber has a student of the university for four years, but previous to this season had not seen a football game.

Because of his great weight and speed that he had shown in the gym, he was Induced by fellow-students to join the squad at the beglnnlrg of the season. This he did. and from the very start made great and is now a regular guard of the team. With 1 lr weight he has done much for the blue and white In their contests this season, and at line positions has held strongly.

While the St.

Louis University football learn has gone through the season without being scored upon, it Is the intention of Coach Dclaney of the blue and white team to attempt the same thing next season, as he will have all but three of this season's plaers in the game again. To do this, however, he will have to do equally as hard plajlng, it not harder, ns Llgger garre -will be gone after in 1305. In another week the managers of the St. Louis tenm wll bcxin on next ear's schedule. St.

Louis has had onlv a few hard gnmes this season, although this Is the custom of all the Ug teams, to have but three hard games on the rchedule. It Intended to arrange games with Kancin. Missouri and Iowa. With these teams. St.

Louis can well afford to have lighter and inferior contest for the completion of its schedule. As for Washington, they will not ask for a game with that team, although If the latter wants a game, the contest may be arranged. While St. Louis has gone through the season without being scored upon und many of the teams be'ng inferior, De-Ianey has had his share of trouble with his squad, although he managed to alwajs have hi- team iu condition whenever a game vva scheduled. As for a postseason game, one may lie arranged with Kansas or the Univeriitv of Cincinnati for net Saturday, although Delaney is not overanxious for a same, as he tajs his team has been worked very hard.

Not la the games so much, but in 'practicing, and If they won or lost noth- irg would be decided by the game, St. Louis's hardest games were 'with Tarkio. Kentucky and Missouri, although the last named is rated as the best of the three. Thev had an easier time of dls-pon'ng of the Tigers than they did with the others.

MEN WORKED DAILY. Coach Delaney, although his team has plaved man teams that were easily disponed cf. h-as kept his men morklns dally. They have been sent through ery hard practice since the latter part of September, and whenever a plaver failed to appear for prep, work he was reprimanded. Mnnj accidents have happened to the St.

Louis team, mcie severe than has been the case on any otner team. Bennett, the star half back of last season's team, when r.bout to start training1 for this eleven, wa taken III with appendicitis and v. us compelled to keep out of the Rosier, the big guard, who started practicing at the beclnning of tho seaton. bad his leg broken in the first game he plajed. He was one of Delaney's most promising platers, although it was his first time In contest.

He has- been laid up during the season, and he witnessed his first contest last Thursday on crutches. Later on, Robinson, one of the full backs of the team, had his shoulder blade broken and was out Just in tli-ie to play In the last game. Dmgiran. the big tackle of the team, caught cold In hl shoulder while at Columbia. Mo.

plavlng the Tiger team, and has been out since. Hcnnerich. afiothcr full back, has water on the knee as the result of an injury in the Missouri camj. Pechmann had his ankle sprained recentlv and was out of the game for several weeks. TEAM ALWAYS READY.

With these accidents happening all through the season, Delaney has kept his squad In condition, and had a team ready at a minute's notice. When the season opens next jeir he will have the same plaers with th exception of three regulars, with the addi-ion of the candidates from the law ischool that will have been opened. Sa'm Campbell, the sub. full back of the team, will be another abscnt-e nej 1 jcai. Sam has figured promncn'ly In manj of the games, although 110: a i.vule.- plajer Cooper, one of the ends, is the third mm that will be missed next year.

He is the player who tried for a position on the Missouri team two jears ago, but could not even sain a place on the scrub eleven He came to the local university in 1203 and subbeu. This season he turned out to bo ono of the best end plajers in the State, and recently, when the team went to Columbia, he was revenged. Of the back-field plaj ers.Delaney has a fast lot. Pechmann, Kinney. Griffin, Irwin.

Robinson and Hennerlch can easily be called upon for dut. Hone and Dillon are the quarter backs who are equal to the position. Howe is conceded to be the best plajer in running a team in the city. Stuttlc of Washington Is not in his class, while he can outpunt and outklck Hood of C. B.

C. Dillon Is a very fast player and is fair at the kicking game. The only drawback is his weight Tipping the scales at little more than 123 pounds, ne has played in many of the games. Next season, with more beef, he should get in the games wMth the big teams. Hobbs Is a fast player at end.

Dlngman and Lucky arc tackles. Of the guards, Reber and Silk Campbell have done great work. With this Une-up in the field again next season, and with many car.did.itcs that will appear from the law school, St. Louis University Is sure to make a showing next year equally as wcU a3 this season. 4 t.

There Is more frugality and thrift and alertness to opportunity to invet earnings Judiciously among professional hascbal! placrs than there u-ed be much more. the nature of hi. occupation, there ar-six months of thp ear when the ball p'lyer Is idle if he so Hut it is petting more and more the case tnat such a way of spending the time between seasons, is not his choice. His business sense Is being cultivated, and not only is he appreciative of the wisiom of saving- from his pay as a plajer, but he is taking advantage of changes to increase the nest egg by going- in for various outside ventures with a view to enlarging his income. Well-to-do baseball plajers whose sup-pij- of woridlj goods had it start from pa- received from plajlng ball are bj- no meaii3 few and far between.

The pav is good, and it Is quite probable that the pircentage of ball plavers who have sufficient bu-Iness enterprise and Judgment to realize profits from their earnings is as bis as with anj othr class of wage-earners. It is quite probable that a ma-Jorltj- of professional ball plajers are not mere winter grasshoppers. The ants in the vocation are numerous those who do not frivol aw a j- the winter months, but are ambitious to get ahead. Manj- instances may be cited of rlajers who are as busj- from October to April as they are from April to October. BASEBALL AS A STEPPING STONE.

"A better grade of men is playing- ball professionally than used to be the case." taj-s Harry Putham, president of the National League. "For one thing, the pay In good, and many joung men are picking out baseball as something that not only offers a profitable career in itself while It lasts, but that will earn the means whereby they can prepare the way for a professional or business career after they get through on the diamond. They find baseball a good stepping- stone. In the six months that they are not playing ball thej- can be learning their future business, or. If thej- ha.ve a business al-readj-.

devote their time to it in the off season. "With an av erase of over JIM a week for plajlntr ball, and expenses paid half of tho time in season, the plajer has a good opportunltj- to save his monej-. Nor are ball plajers' wages affected bj- hard times. I recall distinctly a number of j-cars ago, when times were hard and all the big business firms were cutting salaries, ball plnjers' salaries were not cut a pennj-. You see hard times do not affect baseball.

The prices of admission are cheap, and the game Is a recreation and a tonic to which business men turn even in hard times. "As for the class of men engaged to play the game, it mav be worth while to point out that thej- put up at the best hotels and are welcome there. And you will find that thej- hold up their end in either behavior or conversation. Their hours are good, they are well behaved and intelligent." A notable evidence of the shrewd and thritfv ball plajer is Fred Clarke, the captain and manager of the Pittsburg- National League'champion. Clarke is interested in farm lands In Kansas and every ear at the close of the baseball season hioa himself to the Sunflower State with an eye to the main chance.

He, bujs grain anu wnn tne nnanciai anciior to windward resulting from his savings from plaving- ball Is able to carry the grain until he can dispose of it to advantage. Also, he discounts notes and has other irons in the fire. He is keen, conservative and self-reliant, can write his check for five figures, and his skill as a Kill player has played no small part In his comfortable accumulation of that which makes the mare go. Wagner, of the same team. alo Is frugal and has nut bj- considerable of his wages, but Is not as enterprising as his captain.

He fights shj- of stocks and bonds and has his monej- put away in different banks. "If one goes up. I'll have some in the others." he reasons. Rltchev. of the Pittsburgh has ir.onev invested in oil lands, and Jone of the Chicago Americans, recentlv became an extensive purchaser of oil lands.
