FOR NEBRASKANS
Gophers Prepare for a Gruelling
I Contest with the Corn
husker Team.
By O'Loughlln.
Minnesota's football team starts in today on
.ther final preparation for. what will doubtless
|pro to be one of the hardest fought and
fittest games seen on Northrop field this year.
I Nebraska Is coming up to the flour city with
all sorts of courage. The victory over the
strong Colorado team has added a new hope
'{to that entertained after Coach Booth returned
to Lincoln after the Wisconsin-Minnesota game
I and tol
thethteam
that the gophers be
if Nebraska team wouldcould get up
i on its jstoes.
Nebraska has a very strong team, most of
it veteran in experience and large in size.
The followers of the Lincoln team protest that
their players are lighter than the gophers,
pointing out 1hat the cardinal and white striped
Jerseys have the effect of making their men
i: appear larger than they really are. This may
'.be true, bnt Nebraska is big and has a lot
of beef.
Th,e
members the team are not
filled with an overconfidencf such as would
hurt them, but they believe that they can win
by hard playing and are preparing to make
the attempt.
The Nebraska team will leave Lincoln on
a special car Thursday night and arrive in St.
2?HTI1 Friday- morning. Coach Booth is of the
mind to follow the Phil King policy ajid se
quester his players in St. Paul until just before
the game. He inay, however, change his policy
and take the players out to Mlnnetonka. Booth
days he believes it to be best for his players
to keep them away from the sight of the Miu
resota rooters before the game as the constant
questioning to which visiting players are sub
jected is liable to increase their nervousness.
"All Minnesota cares ,for is to see us in the
play," said Booth yesterday, "and we will be
en hand when the time comes for us to ap-
-pear."
The Nebraska rootors are enthusiastic over
the recent victories and the more excited say
that 2,000 rooters and the university band
will come to Minneapolis, arriving Saturday,
morning. A low rate has been offered, which,
the more conservative say, will induce fully
1,000 cornhusker enthusiasts to follow the
team.
Minnesota came thru Saturday's romp with
South Dakota in good shape and no injuries.
The men on the squad know that they will
have to sti-ugcle with the Nebraskans and all
regrets over ttie "Wisconsin defeat have been
cast aside in a determination to make the best
possible showing against the cornhuskers. The
followers of the team, their friends, think that
the men have it in them to get together and
win from Nebraska.
Every indication points to another large
crowd Saturday. From their showing of Satur
day at Lincoln, it is safe to predict that the
game will be fully as spectacular as was the
"Wisconsin game and just as stubborn in every
department. Nebraska's offense is similar to
that of Wisconsin and will give the gopher
forwards much to do and think about when
it is directed toward them. Colorado made a
good showing against the cornhuskers at times,
but the gains were not steady and could sel
dom be repeated. Between two teams which
appear to be so evenly matched it is hard to
pick a winner. Nebraska, on the statements of
Its players, is much better now than when
Michigan was encountered, better in play and
better in physical condition. The supporters of
the team assert that only lack of condition
enabled Michigan to win at 'all and that this
weakness has been overcome by the work of
the past three weeks.
A special to The Journal from Chicago,
receive^ today, announces that Northwestern
has decided not to play her freshmen against
the Minnesota juniors. This game was first
suggested by the Methodists and Minnesota
agreed. When it came time to complete the
final arrangements Northwestern called off the
game, saying that its team was not in shape
and a contest seemed out of the question. This
game was to have been played in Chicago on
the morning of the day on which McCornack's
men play in Minnesota. It will be a bitter
disappointment to the junior gophers as they
have looked forward to the Chicago trip with
much interest.
FOOTBALL ROOTERS
FORGOT THEMSELYES
Duluth. Minn., Nov. 13.Superior high won
frora Duluth Central Saturday by a. score of
21 to 0. The visitors were much heavier than
the home team, outweighing them fifteen
pounds to the man. The line plunges of Arthur
Buchanan and the long end runs of his
brother Henry were what won the game for
.the visitors.
The pleasant weather brought out a large
crowd. The partizans* of both teams were very
enthusiastic and several fights were suppressed
with considerable difficulty. One man was com
pelled to leave the grounds for repairs as the
result of a fistic encounter. For a time it
looked as if the players would cut out foot
ball and indulge in a good, old-fashioned free
fight.

CHICAGO CRITICS
OfT THE OUTLOOK
All Agree that Western Football
Championship Is High in
the Air.
Chicago, NOT. 13.The Record-Herald says:
Results of western football Saturday helped
little to give a positive line upon the contests
in which Michigan, Wisconsin and Chicago
are to vie for final honors. Interest in the
Michigan-Wisconsin game next Saturday and in
the Chicago-Michigan contest Thanksgiving Day
was rather increased than lessened and the
two contests, taken together, promise a fitting
climax to a season in which the championship
is likely to be determined satisfactorily.
Only the Chicago-Purdue battle afforded
great amount of food for discussion, ifs both
Michigan and Wisconsin against weak op
ponents won easily. Purdue, however, showed
its class in unmistakable fashion, and ampl\
bore out the statement made in this column
earlier in the season that Purdue is a factor.
To a man not interested directly in Chicago,
who believes Heston's statement that the Yc-L
line this year is better on defense than evei
the conclusion forces itself that Michigan must
win the Thanksgiving Day game.
Maroons Are Blue.
"If Michigan is as good as last year and
Chicago no better than it showed against Piu-
due," said one eastern critic who saw the
game, ^'Michigan -will -win the Tbanksslvinj
Day game by a score of 40 to 0."
Chicago hopes this is an extreme view. But
with Dan Boone declared ineligible and Walkei
incapacitated, the maroons' views, which have
been more or less roseate so far, have taken
on a decided blueness. But there remain
two solid weeks of working days and mucn
may be done in that time.
Wisconsin is to be no mean foe for Yost's
men to face Saturday and the wolverine coac1
realize this. Phil King is the Phil King of
old and too great credit cannot be given him
for gaining a victory over Minnesota the firbt
year of his leturn to Madison.
Chronicle Less Anxious.
The Chronicle says: All the eyes of tli
football world were turned toward Marshall
field Saturday afternoon. There was not an
other gridiron battle in the west that held any
importance in declaring the final championship
team, not another one that was even inter
esting to the students who are now beginning
to make their final wagers of the year.
Tlie Cnicago-Pardue struggle on Marsnall
field was of interest mainly because the con
test was. sure to be a severe test for the
maroons, who are to meet Michigan Thanks
giving Day for what will probably be the de
ciding game of the season. As was expected
by everyone, the Chicago team had little diffi
culty in gaining another victory altho the en
tire first half of the. battle the eleven coached
by Herrnstein put up a valiant fight that at
times even threatened the local goal.
Stagg's men soon had used up all the
strength of the Purdue men, however, and the
second half proved easy for the Chicago players.
Coach Lowenthal of the Illinois team stated he
believed the maroons had a fine chance to de
feat Michigan.
Michigan Charged.
The most discouraging condition of the mid
way camp at present is the loss of Boone, the
big halfback who was protested by Purdue and
declared ineligible. There is much discussion
over the conduct of the Purdue /Authorities in
entering the protest and it is claimed by many
that it came from Michigan inducements.
Michigan representatives were at the game at
Marshall field in countless numbers. While they
were watching the work of the much-dreaded
Midway eleven their machine at Ann Arbor was
having a runaway practice with the Ohio State
team. It was no test of Yost's men, and simply
afforded them a chance to whet up their offense
for the battle with the Wisconsin team this
week. Wisconsin also had nothing but some
practice with Beloit. But they injured their
great star, Findley, in one play so badly that
he may not be able to last the entire game
Saturday.
Minnesota came back In grand shape, in spite
of her defeat by the badgers the previous week,
and Saturday set her scoring apparatus to work
ing and ran up eighty-one points on the South
Dakota, team. The gophers have to meet Ne
braska and Northwestern yet this fall, hut will
likely dispose of hoth of them in easy fashion.
McCornack's Northwestern team showed up in
good form.
Key in Ann Arbor G-ame.
The Chicago Tribune says: With the finish
of the football season of 1905 less than three
weeks away, interest, which has been unusual
in the west this season, is bound to increase
until the curtain is rung down on the final act
on Thanksgiving day. In the east, where the
big games are not allowed to interfere with
turkey dinners, the end will come a week from
next Saturday.
There remain three games in the west which
will have an important bearing on the final
rating of the leading elevens. The first of
these in point of time is the Wisconsin-Michigan
affair at Ann Arbor next Saturday, the second
the Northwestern-Minnesota game at Minneapolis
a week later, and the last and most important
of all probably is the Michigan-Chicago battle
scheduled for Chicago' on Thanksgiving day.
Saturday's Ann Arbor game will give the first
real line on Yost's team which it has been
possible to get this year, as nothing on the
wolverine schedule to date has forced them to
anywhere near- their limit, it is believed. That
Yost has a powerful team no one doubts. How
strong no one knows, prohably not even Tost.
It is not known even how heavy the team is,
for it is the statement of all who have seen
the team in action that the weights, of the
men as announced are far below the real figures.
Just what Michigan hopes to gain by this policy
of concealment cannot be guessed, as the ele
ment of possible surprise is eliminated by the
fact that the team has been on public exhibition
repeatedly.
Wisconsin a Mystery.
Wisconsin's chances In Saturday's game, there
fore, are a matter of conjecture only. The
badgers exhibited a strong defense against Chi
cago, then apparently neglected Its defense to
improve the offense for the Minnesota game. On
what King's men Bbowea in either one ol tnese
games alone they would have small chance of
beating Michigan.
But if Wisconsin can perfect the defense
shown against the maroons, eliminate the fumb
ling of punts and the uneven charging exhibited
in the Minnesota game, and at the same time
extend the variety of Its offense as mnch as it
did between those two big games, it will be
a formidable rival even for the Michigan team.
After next Saturday Chicago's chances against
Michigan will be better determined in all prob
ability than at present. The test given the
maroons last Saturday by Purdue did not en
hance Chicago's outlook so much as it did Pur
due's. Coach Herrnstein demonstrated, he had a
strong team already, with some splendid ma
terial on which to work another year. He
should be able to make Purdue a factor in the
west so long as li is material holds out.
In the game at Minneapolis two weeks henee
Northwestern has an opportunity to retrieve
many of the laurels lost to Chicago, and Coach
McCornack is working to that end.
Race Still in Air.
The Inter-Ocean says: Saturday's games
brought no changes in the western championship
race. Michigan and Wisconsin both played sec
ond-rate teams and won by wide margins. Chi
cago's defeat of Purdue, while the game was
hard" fought, showed that the maroons had a
strong team.
Those who went to the Chicago-Purdue game
with the hopes of getting a line oh the real
strength of the maroons were disappointed.
Stagg's men showed nothing new In the way of
offense, but perhaps they showed that their
defense was not strong enough to stop the fierce
rushes of the Michigan line and backs.
All Interest in the coming week will be
centered in the great game between Michigan
and Wisconsin at Ann Arbor Saturday. The
game will be hard fought from start to- finish,
as Wisconsin realizes that it has a chance to
beat the wolverines. The badgers, under the
direction of Phil King, have made a wonderful
improvement over last year's form, and their
defeat of Minnesota shows that Yost will have
to work his men to their limit in order to win
the game.
From present dope, the game promises to be
a battle between the lines. The Wisconsin baek
field Is the equal, if not the superior, of the
wolverine backs. In Yandejrboom, Findley and
Roseth the badgers have a heavy, fast bunch
that can gain against any team. Michigan has
Tom Hammond, one of the best backs in the
west, Longman and Magoffin to rely upon, and
it is certain that they will put up an offense that
will be extremely difficult to stop.
Yost Is Feared.
In the case of ends Wisconsin has an ap
parent shade, Bush and Brlndley naving done
better work this year than Garrels and Harry
Hammond. In quarterbacks, If Norcross' knee
will allow him. to play the entire game, Mich
igan has a decided advantage.
In the line Michigan has a great trio in
Berlke, Remp and Donovan. Graham and

verine lorwards, while GelDacli ana Deering are

Boone's loss has caused Chicago's stock to
take a perceptible drop, and Coach Stagg ap
pears to think that with Boone's going his team
is badly crippled. He said yesterday that the
loss of Boone may ruin the chances in the
Thanksgiving game, as he intended to keep
Walker out and play Boone at right half.
On the whole, the outlook is bad for a victory
over Yost's wonderful'- machine, but there will
be a chance if Wisconsin makes trouble for
Michigan.
Coach McCornack will now set to work to
point the purple teem for the game with Min
nesota at Minneapolis on Nov. 25, and says that
he is confident that his team will win. This
week there will be hard scrimmage nearly
every day, and next week the team will have
only light practice.
FOOTBALL'S EIL
IN GATE RECEIPTS
"Excessive Costliness" Most Ob
jectionable Feature of Game,
Says Pres. Shurman.
Journal Special Service.
Ithaca, N. Y., Nov. 18.President Shurman
of Cornell university believes' college football
would be purified, by doing away *wltb gate re
ceipts. On this he said:
"I have always thought that the excessive
costliness of football in our American colleges
and universities is, after brutality, by far the
most objectionable feature of the game. It
is the prolific source of commercialism, gam
bling and professionalism.
"I cannot but think the time will come
when it will be regarded as degrading to
except money for the sake of gate receipts.

change in that direction, however, -will
be rossible until several of the leading uni
versities adopt some reform.' It would embrace
the elimination of mass plays, and it would
cut down largely the amount of money now
devoted to the support of the game.
"The costliest features at the present time,
apart from that necessary to keep up the ath
letic field are, I believe, the salaries of the
professional coaches, the maintenance of train
ing tables and the luxurious travel and hotel
accommodations provided for the teams. If the
American university public will consent to
make a recreation instead of a business of
football all these expenses could be greatly
reduced.
"If there were no gate receipts the game
would have to be supported by the voluntary
contributions of students and alumni and if
football were played for sport's sake such con
tributions would be adequate for the necessary
expenses of the game."

THE COLLEGE AMATEUR
The following gem is from the Pen
of W. A. Phelon, of the Chicago Jour
nal. It is clever and shows well the
Chicago idea of purity in university
athletics:
Adown the college yard he came
Like some Greek god he strode
His eye was bright, his satin skin
With health and vigor glowed.
They gathered round him,' spellbound at
His size and strength of frame.
"Come this way," cried the football coach
"You'll win eternal fame!"
"With me next," cried the baseball chief,
"You'll snine behind the bat!"
"And then with me," a track man called
"For you, nine seconds flat!"
"I wish to say," the noble youth,
With accents clear and loud,
Exclaimed: "An amateur am I,
Wbereof I'm. greatly proud!
In younger days, for Sunday ball,
I never took a cent.
For even carfares to the park
My own small coins I spent.
I'm purer than the driven snow
I come here creamy white^
You couldn't bribe this little boy
With all the gold in sight!
I ask no free tuition for
The way I kick the goals
Let all remuneration go
mercenary souls!
I'll be insulted if you try
To pay me, understand?
I'll purify the college world,
And B-r-r-r-zingzangbiffbrr!

CORNELL MEETS DEFEAT
Iowa Namesake of Eastern University
Falls Before Charles City.
Charles City, Iowa, Nov. 13.Cornell college
met defeat at the hands of the Charles City
college eleven here Friday afternoon. The teams
were about equally matched in weight and both
played fast, clean football. Charles City was
particularly strong in the backneld and ends and
kept the ball in Cornell's territory the greater
part of the time. Fullback Wellemeyer and the
halfbacks, Merrill and Gethmann of Charles City
seemed to be able to smash the line or run ends
at will.
A spectacular event was Dyer of Cornell's drop
kick from the 30-yard 'line. Cornell made a
touchdown on a fumble, leaving their final score
10. Charles City netted three touchdowns and a
drop kick but failed to kick goal twice, leaving
their final score 20.

HUMANE SOCIETY
FOB CLEAN GAME
Watches Grinnell-Ames Battle for
Possible Evidence of Foot
ball Brutality.
Special to The Journal.
Grlnnell, Iowa, Nov. 13.An interesting fea
ture of the game played here last Saturday
between Ames and Grinnell was the presence
of representatives of the Humane society on
the sidelines watching for any case of un
necessary roughness and brutality which might
occur during the progress of the game.
President Hale Bump stated before the game
that he was not opposed to the game wheu
properly played, but that he was opposed to
the unexcused roughness which is characteristic
of so many games. The Humane society pro
poses to aid President Roosevelt in his reform
movement in football as it is played at pres
ent. The game turned out to be the cleanest
game seen here this season and no occasion
was given for the action of the Humane so
ciety. According to state law the detention
of ny player for the period of three hours
might have been caused on mere suspicion.
HOPE OF VICTORY
IK PURPLE CAMP
The Wonderful Improvement at
Northwestern Arouses En
thusiasm.
Special to The Journal.
Chicago, Nov. 18.Optimism has replaced
pessimism in the Northwestern football camp,
and the Methodists are now looking forward
to the annual game with Minnesota with great
hopes of victory. The purple team has made
wonderful improvement since the Chicago game.
The eleven which showed practically no of
fense against the maroons, have been working
with machine-like precision. McCornack believes
that his team could sain, ground against any
eleven in the country.
The past week has been one of revolution.
McCornack, always a devotee of the close mass
style of offense, has taken to open attack,
used so successfully by the maroons and Mich
igan. The ease with which the Chicago backs
gained thru his line by their shifty attack
off tackle and the inability of his pushing
style of offense to penetrate the Chicago line,
caused McCornack to revise his offensive sys
tem.
New and intricate formations, with Johnson
starring in trick plays, will mark the offense
of the purple against the gophers. McCornack
realizes that he cannot hope to defeat Min
nesota with the slower style of attack, as
his light forwards are no match for the gopher
linemen. Speed, and speed alone, is what he
will rely on to win.
Get Dark Sweaters.
The most singular development of the week
was the changing of the sweaters of the play
ers from purple to gray. The purple jerseys
worn by the Methodists made it an easy mat
ter for the opposing teams to pick the man
carrying the ball, as the pigskin stood out' in
bold relief against the color. It is believed that
the gray will make it hard for the North
western opponents to select the man with the
ball.
Hurdling will be one of the main features
of the Northwestern attack against Minnesota.
McCornack has had a special class in hurdling
for the past week. All of the backfleld candi
dates and some of the linemen have spent an
hour daily running thru the hurdles. While the
form used in jumping the sticks is altogether
different from that which football players em
ploy, McCornack believes that training at
track hurdling will help the backs get high
into the air and restllt in good gains.
Get "Director.
A startling cMnge in the athletic policy
at Northwestern will be made at the end of
the present football season. Since McCornack
announced that he would not coach the North
western team another year, plans have been
formulated for the adoption of the athletic
director system now In vogue at Minnesota and
Chicago. Some eastern star, perhaps Hogan of
Yale, will b'e secured if possible to assume
the position o* director. This move -will mean
the end of the professional coach so far as
Northwestern is concerned. The director will
be made a regular member of the faculty and
will have charge of all branches of athletics.
It was first suggested that the graduate sys
tem should be adopted, but the turmoil result
ing from the- employment of former stars at
Wisconsin put an end to all discussion of that
plan. Many of the Northwestern alumni wanted
to see the position given to Dixie Fleager or
Joe Hunter, but the general sentiment would
not allow the employment of a graduate.
Gopher Game Indian's Last.
The Minnesota-Northwestern game, Nov. 25,
will mark the passing of one of the greatest
football players that ever played the game.
Johnson, the Indian quarterback, of Northwest
ern has announced that the Minnesota game
will be his last. He has already played six
years of football in fast company, having been
a member of the Carlisle Indian team for four
years and of Northwestern for two seasons. He
reached the climax of his football career in
his senior year at Carlisle, when he was unani
mously selected as AU-American quarterback.
Since that time he has been steadily going
back and has shown only flashes of his real
form.

COACHES SURE OF
BADGER VICTORY
King and Holt Return to Drill
Team for the Michigan
Game.
Journal Special Service.
Madison, Wis., Nov. 13.*Coaches King and
Holt returned late last night from Ann Arbor,
where they witnessed Yost's football machine
go against Ohio university Saturday. All that
the coaches would say was that Michigan has a
splendid team, but that they propose to defeat
it next Saturday. This is the final game of
the season fo Wisconsin, and every effort is
to be made to wipe out the stinging memory of
the defeat by Chtcago three weeks ago. The
coaches commenced today to put the finishing
touches to the Wisconsin team.
All of the regulars who took part in the game
with Beloit Saturday came out of it in good
condition.
The squad will leave for Ann Arbor Thursday
evening, traveling in a special coach attached
to one of the fast passenger trains. It is ex
pected to reach Jackson, Mich., the following
morning and probably will remain there until
Saturday morning. The students' special will
leave Friday night.
BEEF AND BRAWN
IGNORED IN EAST
Speed and Stamina Triumph in
Pennsylvania Game Relegates
Weight to Rear.
Journal Special Service.
New York, Nov. 13.Two factors in football
speed and staminahave superseded all
others. Beef and brawn have been relegated
to a lesser consideration and the coming grid
iron player must be a fleet, hardy man instead
of a towering and expansive mass of muscle.
It is a transition in football requirements
that has gradually developed, but the Pennsyl
vania-Harvard game on Saturday stamped a
proof of its requisite value in a team that
aims for victory. Harvard \rith her mass of
beef and brawn was played to a standstill by
Pennsylvania's quick, stocky eleven. The crim
sons' massive men, relying on bulk and breadth
of chest for a fortress of defense and the force
of weight for offense, were left sprawling in
their traces while the swift Quakers played ali
around them.
The simplest tricks of the game, many so
old it was not even dreamed Pennsylvania
would try them, blinded Harvard's men. They
knew them perfectly well, but stood dum
founded while the Quakers darted around them.
Time and again the Harvard center men
came tearing thru the Quaker line and the
Pennsylvania backs simply passed the ball to
each other. In an instant the crimson beef was
piled in a heap on top of Folwell and Steven
son was tearing around the end as fast as his
legs could carry him.
It cost Harvard whatever chance she had
for the season's championship and before her
defeat on Saturday her prospects of a clean
slate were far from hopeless. She had stopped
the war dance of the Carlisle Indians and In
comparatively easy fashion made against Brown
within one point of what Yale exerted her
best efforts to do on Saturday.
Harvard was not the only thing that was
shattered and that was form. But in the other
contests the results were generally expected.
Yale beat Brown, but with the smallest score
the blue has made this season and it took her
best backs, Morse, Flinn and Veeder. to run
up that score of eleven points. Princeton
Bhowed her expected improvement and defeated
Cornell. The Ithacans' bulk, that was over
come by Swarthmore. had been thinned out by
hard gruelling and Cornell was able to score
on the tigers.

CENTRAL'S TEAM
QUITS GRIDIRON
Flayers Finding No More Foes to
Conquer, Close the
Season.
By Gil.
Central high has disbanded its team for. the
season. The moleskins have gone to associate
with the mothballs in Manager Britzius' cedar
chest, and the warriors who have battled long
and bravely for the red and blue have returned
to the less stirring business of acquiring knowl
edge.
After learning that North .had called off the
game scheduled for Nov. 17, Coach Morse held
a telephone conference with the members of the
team. While the boys were willing enough to
stay with the team as long as there was a city
rival in the field, they did not care' to "play, any
out-of-town games. Several of the best men' on
the team have paper routes which they have
been out thru the
season,r
the Dlue and white lined xxp for that game, it
covfld not be touched by any team in the city,
and would probably prove too much tor any team
in the state intercollegiate league.
Lincoln Is Strong.
Lincoln is said to be out of the high-school
class and able, as it stands, to give the Ne
braska varsity a stiff game. With two teams
of this caliber on the field, the battle will be
worth going some distance to see. While it
lool's at present as if .the university manage
ment would refuse the high schools the use of
Northrop field, it is to be hoped that the board
of control wlil change its decision.
The men who are playing on the high-school
teams are the material which will make the
future varsity teams, and it is well worth,
while to give them all the recognition and as
sistance possible. Northrop field is an ideal
place for this game, which will attract much
attention outside of high-scbool circles.
South has no game for this week, but will
keep in training for its St. Paul game In the
week following. It is very probable that Man
ager Solem will secure some practice game for
next Friday. After the showing made against
Central last Friday, the orange' and black fol
lowers have good grounds to hope for a vic
tory over the St. Paul bunch, and the -team
will work hard with this in view.
East still has a team in the field, and Man
ager Turnstrand is trying to arrange a gam
with Central for next Friday. In view of thi
disbanding of the Central team and the proposed
interclass tournament, it is doubtful if he will
succeed. In case he does not, the crimson team
will probably disband.
WATCHED "SOCKEB" GAME
Long-Deferrerl Contest Given, at Lex
ington Park.
The long-promised game of "socker" was
played at Lexington park yesterday afternoon.
The Minneapolis team scored two goals while the
St. Paul bunch drew a cipher. Individually' the
teams were well matched. but Minneapolis
showed better team work. A fair crowd was out
and showed considerable curiority about the Eng
lish rame. After the association contest the
Athletics of St. Paul and the Beavers of Min
neapolis played two fifteen-minute halves oC
rugby. Neither team was able to score.

Morse at University."
ious-
In view of these facts Coach',Morse has de
cided to disband his team, and unless "some
unexpected development should calf it back from
the shades of 1905 Central high team has passed
into history. There waB no practice at the
Twenty-second street grounds, tiiis afternoon. The
members ol tne team were busy- enjoying-tbeic
first day of liberty from the practice tread
mill, and Coach Morse was ont trying for a.
place on the university freshman team.
Football is not quite dead at Central, how
ever, for Manager Britzius is trying to arrange
an interclass tournament to be played at Nicol
let park next Friday. If the plans go thru, the
freshmen will play the' sophomores and the jun
iors will, play the seniors. Both games w^ll be
short and the winners will meet each other on
the same afternoon for the championship of the
school.
To Central has disbanded and the city cham
pionship is settled, there are still some good
high-school games in prospect. North Side plays
Lincoln (Neb.) high school here on Thanks
giving day and South plays St. Paul Central in
St. Paul on Nov. 24.
The Thanksgiving-day game between North
Side and Lincoln high promises to be one of
the best, if not the best, game of high-school
football ever seen in Minneapolis. Their vic
tory over the university freshmen has placed
the North Siders in a class by themselves. As
