ON THE GRIDIRON ]GOPHERS IN SHAPE

Spend Two Days at Lake BeforeLeaving for Wisconsin.

MORE TALES OF INELIGIBILITY

Officials or the Bum Will Be Walterkeanrd), Ralph Houulund and

Heury Clark.

To-morrow evening the premier foot-ball team of the midle west (.if the Judg-ment of thousands of Minnesotans isworth anjrthios) will leave for the sceneof Saturday's battle. If all reports beirue ihe men were never in better formand never more fit. for a decisive action,such as that of Nov. 18 is to be. Theywill reach Madison Friday morning, and,in accordance with Dr. Williams' plan ofkeeping his men away from the excitementwhich always precedes a big game, theywill probably be kept in seclusion untilalmost the hour of the game, though, ofcourse, they will be given exercise enoughto keep them in proper spirit.

At Ihr Lake.

The team left for Lake Minnetonka thismorning. They will remain until to-morrow evening when they will returnand take the train for Madison.

The men were sent through their usualroutine of signal practice and scrimmagework yesterday. They worked behindclosed gates, but the statement was madeat the close of the practice that the show-ing made by the regulars, as well as thephysical condition of the men, was allthat could be desired.

It was stated that any man on the firstteam, if injured, could be replaced by aplayer almost as strong as himself.

Mutter of Protenta.

The great matter to be settled the daybefore, or the day of, the contest, and\u25a0which will probably not be settled until»iday at the best, is that of protests.The actual status of affairs is hard to getat because of the numerous and often wildrumors that are floating about.

One thing Is certain, however, and thatis that Wisconsin has announced in un-tquivocal terms to the Minnesota man-agement that Schreiber will be iilayed inSaturday's game. This announcement byWisconsin was met by Minnesota with thettatement that Mueller would be played,too. In the eyes of Minnesota, Muelleris far more eligible under the spirit ofthe "Big Nine" rules than Sehreiber;hence, Minnesota's attitude. She is will-ing to i>ltty Mueller and abide by the de-cision of the conference after the game isover.

This brings to light the facts with re-gard to Mueller's status before the Min-nesota I', athletic committee. He hasnot been barred; indeed, it seems thatthe university faculty athletic committeehas never taken action upou his case, ex-cept to have an investigation of the factsmade. These, however, have not been re-viewed hf the committee, so that in al-lowing Mueller to play the committee willnot be receding from any former position.Vnless there i* a. tacit or other under-btanding that both Mueller and Schreiberare to ©lay and that other protests thathave been in the air are to be ignored,it is probable that the whole situationwill be gone over when the Minnesota au-thorities arrive at. the Wisconsin cap-ita! either Friday or Saturday. Until thattime all comments will be largely the re-sult of £uess work.

Meiiautiou at Madtnon.

In connection with mention of rumorsmay be noted the most sensational of all\u25a0which comes from Madison. It is to theeffect that the business men of Madison6cre at certain treatment at the handsof the management of the team, have"given away" a very important secret —no less than that these same businessmen subscribed to a fund to be used forthe purpose of paying Driver, Wiscon-Bin's fullback, and Marshall, her quarter-tack, for their services on the team thisjear. Driver, it is said, will go back toIlls $100-per-month job In the capitol whenihe football season is over, having left1; only by reason of the inducementsoffered by the fund alluded to above.Coehenis, the great Wisconsin halfback-it is said, will also quit school at the endof the football season.

As a result of all the rumors it willprobably not be until the teams go ontothe field Saturday that the rooters willknow who are to play and who are to beleft out.

WORK OF BADGERS

SkoiT Still Suffering- With Cold, butHe Will Play.

Special to The Journal.Madison, Wis., Nov. 13. —The Wisconsin

football team was put through the hard-est, practice of the season yesterday after-noon in the rounding up of the team forthe big contest with Minnesota next Sat-urday. This afternoon the finishingtouches are being put on, and to-morrowthe work will be light.

Skow was not out yesterday, his placeat center being filled by Holstein. Skowis still suffering from a cold, which af-fects his throat, but his condition is notbelieved to endanger his chances of play-ing Saturday, but care is being takento avoid his catching more cold. His lossat center would be as serious a handicapes Wisconsin could suffer at this stage ofthe game. Fogg, the quarterback, wasnot in the practice, and there is little orno chance now that he will be able toplay. Captain Curtis has not entirely re-covered from his cold, and did not staythrough all the scrimmage yesterday.Abbott was in the work, and is in fairshape again.

The announcement that Minnesota willplay Mueller, the big guard, is receivedwith varying feelings here, and there istalk of a meeting of the athletic councilto consider what Wisconsin will do inthe matter. There does not appear to beany desire to protest Mueller, but in thelight of the action taken by the Minne-sota council, or the report, at least, oiChairman Jones, that Mueller had beenguilty of professionalism and is not eligi-ble, it is not seen how he can play with-out endangering the standing of the othersin the game, the especial point being thefact that several of the Wisconsin foot-ball men are also members of the trackteam, and liable to be disqualified, underthe A. A. U, rules, if they take part ina gamo in which a professional plays.The same point arose in the case of Mer-rill of Beloit, who was kept out of theWisconsin game.

Owing to the big demand for seats atSaturday's game, and the complaintswhich have been made by Madison peopleover the fact that there were only thirty-five grand stand seats to be had when thesale opened here Monday, work was be-gun to-day on the erection of a new grandstand, with seating room for 1,900 peo-ple, to join the present grand stand onthe west. It is to be made permanent,and while it cannot be entirely finishedby Saturday, the seats will be in place,and will be reserved for Madison people,

IOWA'S SLUMP OVER

Men Are Practicing- in Old TimeForm Attain.

Special to The Journal.lowa City, lowa, Nov. 13.—Coaches,

players and students coming up the hillfrom the practice at lowa field this weekwear broad smiles. The team is showingwhat it can do when it plays football.The men are playing together, are play-ing low, and are running good interfer- 'ence. They are helping each other. Both |on offensive and defensive they are nearly Iback to their old form. Coach Knipe isoverjoyed at the way the men play."In this Illinois game was the first time ateam of mine ever slumped," said Dr.Knipe at the end of the practice .lastnight. "That is what makes me so soreabout It. At Rock Island last year inthe game with Northwestern, the team didnot slump, and they played consistent ball jconsidering how sick they all were. Butthe slump ihas come and gone and I'don't think it will occur again. No, Idon't think so at all."

PREPARING A DEFENSE

"tHKK Ready for Michigan—Opposed

to Mueller'* Reinstatement.Veur York Sun Special Servte*

Chicago, Nov. 13.—Coach Stagg and 'hisband of Maroons spent the hours of prac-tice yesterday preparing a special defensefor the game with Michigan on Saturday.Coach Stagg gave the second team the balllor the greater part of the time and toldthem to use Michigan plays, which theyhave been taught, in order to give theregulars the proper practice. The Michi- jgan formations, which the scrubs used,proved surprisingly effective against theregulars at first, but became less terribleas the special defense was developed.The maroons have a large stock of of-fensive plays ready, It is even, said that

i in the repertory are no less than thirtyplays in which Kennedy figures behind theline.

Coach Stagg declares plainly that heis qpposed to the reinstatement of Muel-ler, Minnesota's right guard.

Grand Forks. N. D., Nov. 13.—Ward, theright, half of the North Dakota univeraityfootball team, who had his left leg fracturedIn last Saturday's game at Minneapolis, ar-rived home Monday morning. He was ac-companied by Manager Blair. Both Wardand Mr. Blair speak in the highest possiblemanner of the kindness and sympathy shownby the Minnesota boys when it was foundthat the former had been injured. Wardsays it was almost worth being hurt to seethe sincere sympathy shown in his behalfby the members of the Minnesota team. Heparticularly appreciates the thoughtfulness ofthe University Athletic Association in pre-senting him with a bouquet of AmericanBeauty roses soon after his injury. He isresting comfortably and is expected to recoverrapidly.

Praise for Gophers.

Donbt at Ann Arbor.Ann Arbor, Mich., Nov. 13.—Both Yost and

Baird shake their heads ominouslywhen talking about the Chicago-Michigangame for next Saturday, and they have notthe confidence of winning that seems preva-lent among the student body and the team.The team is altogether too cocksure of thegame, and may get its dumps worse thanNorthwestern did last Saturday. They willnot enter the game with the determined spiritthat Chicago will show, as the men are over-confident, and Yost seems unable to scarethis feeling out of them. Yost is certainlymore worried than Stagg, who has almosteverything to gain and no great reputationfor his team of this year to loae.

Post-Season Talk.The Milwaukee Sentinel has this to say of1 Minnesota and a post-season game:"Minnesota, in the event of winning Satur-

day's game, would be justified in refusing toplay in December, on account of the handicapshe would sustain in the severity of theweather conditions in the higher latitude ofMinneapolis, and because her heavy schedulefrom now until Thanksgiving would make itvery doubtful whether the gophers could re-tain their form so long The lesson of theChicago-Wisconsin post-season game, in ISB9,

1 can hardly be neglected. If ljer objections\u25a0 were ba3ed upon these grounds, frankly

stilted, no fair-minded person would be apt\u25a0to cavil at them. Unless the game can bei played under conditions fair and equal to

both teams, sportsmen do not care to see iti played at all."

Banquet for Farntera.Special to The Journal.

Fargo, N. N., Nov. 13.—One of the pleasant-est events of the football season was thebanquet tendered the champions of the statelast evening toy George H.

SHOT HIS BOLT IN A HURRY

Michigan Deer Hunter Musi SowGive His Time to Partridges.

Special to The Journal.Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., Nov. 13.—

An amueing story in which a deer hunterfrom lower Michigan is the central figureis brought to the city by E. E. Orvis, alumberman who is conducting loggingoperations near Strongs, this county. Anelderly gentleman from the lower sectionof the state arrived 1 a few days ago and

I fitted up a fine hunting camp in expec-tation of some rare sport with the biggame.

When the season opened last Friday thehunter was up at dawn and started out onhis first tramp through the woods. Hehad gone but a few yards from the tentwhen he came upon a buck, doe andfawn. The buck was the first to fall,then the fawn, and, lastly, the doe, threeshots only being necessary to do the busi-ness. Of course the old gentleman waselated over his luck, but it was notlong before reflection left him mad andsad. He had come several hundred mil^sto put in a few weeks of deer hunting—and within half an hour had used up hislicense by bagging three deer in a bunch.However, he intends to hang around fora few days and hunt "partridges."

Senator Spooner declined to dis-cuss the question of reciprocity and tariff,but expressed the opinion that the newtreaty with Great Britain would be rati-fied and the canal bill passed at the ap-proaching session of congress.

\u25a0Senator Bailey, who was for two con-gresses the leader of the minority in thehouse, says that so far as he is awarethere will be no meeting of the minoritysenators to decide upon a policy of op-position in the coming congress. He isinclined to think that events will be likelyto determine their course. Senator Baileysaid that if the new canal treaty was thestrong American treaty it was reported tobe, he gladly would give It his support.

Seats for Madison Game Going Like

Hot Cakes.

WELL KNOWN MEN BUY LARGELY

Ticket Supply May Be Exbani

Within the Day—Xo Uos.esAvailable.

The North-iWestern ticket office, 415Nicollet avenue, looked like the Metro-politan box office at a Henry Irving en-gagement this morning. For the firsttime tickets for the Minnesota-Madisonfootball game Saturday were placed onsale, and great was the demand therefor.

The office was blocked with people wait-ing for the sale to open long before 9o'clock, the hour set. Prom then on untillate this afternoon a steady line of peoplefiled in and out of the office after indi-vidual or blocks of tickets. It was thegreatest advance sale for a football gameever held in Minneapolis.

M. J. Luby of the University Athletic |association, who is superintending the jsale, said at noon that fully 1,000 tickets 'had been disposed of during the morning !hours.

After the block of 400 tickets reservedfor university students, the biggest lotsold in a bunch was that purchased byGeorge K. Belden, a member of Minne-sota's first football team. Mr. Beldentook eighty of the best seats, deposited alarge wad of long green and walked off,well content with the transaction.

A few minutes later appeared a dis-tinguished-looking gentleman, flying theold gold and maroon from his upper leftbuttonhole and purchased thirty-threetickets with the satisfied manner of aman who has just made an investment individend-paying mining stock. No needto ask his name —Colonel Frank Joyce,who is seriously considering establishinga new line of football insurance.

"Wouldn't miss the game if it cost me$1,000," said Mr. Joyce.

Soon after a short, thick-set manwatched his chance and stole around theend for a gain of three yards which en-abled him to make a touchdown on thedesk in front of Mr. Luby, where hegasped excitedly:

Being assured that there were evenmore, he heaved a sigh of relief, threw aroll of bills on the counter, grabbed thepassports and walked off without hischange.

"Are there sixteen tickets left?"

It was. Isaac Kaufman, another insur-ance man. Strange how this footballfever affects the most conservative busi-ness men!

At this juncture Harry Marsh "buckedthe line" for twenty tickets, whereuponA. M .Woodward, by good interference andlow tackling, made the goal and scoredtwenty-six more coupons.

Hal Watson then delayed the game longenough to ask if "that box for six people,"for which he telegraphed early in theweek, had been reserved.

"You know it." said Luby, and Mr.Watson retired to the extreme rear andgot back to 'change in time to watch theclose.

Owing to this morning's rush and theinability to handle the business at oneoffice, Mr. Luby made arrangements withthe Milwaukee office .to help dispose ofthe tickets this afternoon. As a result theMilwaukee office, which is also handlingthe downbound end of the transporta-tion proposition, was crowded to its ut-most capacity.

At the rate tickets were going thismorning, Mr. Luby estimated that hewould be "all sold out" by 5 o'clock thisafiernoon. He has only received 1,500tickets for disposal, but if need be anotherbatch will be ordered for to-morrow.

There was much complaint among thetickei purchasers because no plat of theMadison field, which would give some ideaof the location of seats, had been provid-ed. Naturally enough, a man who is tak-ing a party clear to Madison wants to beassured that his seats are what he bar-gained for before it is too late. Somegood, hard kicks were registered, also, be-cause no boxes were to be had.

In justice to the Minnesota end of the Isale it should be said that the university |athletic association is in no wise to blame ifor these shortcomings.

_Special requests j

were made well in advance- not only forplats of the field, but for at least sixboxes. Their request for boxes was made jtwo weeks ago. No answer was received \u25a0

until Monday, when the Wisconsin man-agement telegraphed:

"Allsold out."There is no doubt about their being sold

out at that time. The question is: Wereno boxes for the visitors available twoweeks ago?

'TWAS ONLY A "PIPE"

Fund Raised at Madison Not to PayPlayers.

Special to The Journal.Madison, Wis.. Nov. 13.—The soreness of 1

several Madison business men over the !manner in which grand stand seats for iSaturday's football game were disposed ofin advance of the sales has given rise tovarious reports, one of these which is in- jtimated at by the local morning paper is <\u25a0

that some of these have stated they havesubscribed to a fund to pay some of the \Wisconsin slayers and that they will not \u25a0

now »ay their subscriptions.No foundation in fact can be found for

I this report. It is true that Madison busi-ness men are asked annually to contributeto the general university athletic- fund,and that some of these say they will neverpay again owing to the grand stand epi-sode. But several of these contributors,when asked this morning if they wereever asked to subscribe to a fund to pay iplayers, replied positively that they hadnot. The report that Coehems and Driverwill leave the university at the close ofthe football season cannot be verified.

BADGKRS WANT ODDS

Minnesota. Backers Are Confident,but Want Even Money.

Several fat wads of money are lying atthe chamber of commerce ready to bestaked on the Minnesota-Wisconsin foot-ball game, when any one can be foundwho will bet even on Wisconsin. Onebroker has $500, given him by a local en-thusiast, to be placed on Minnesota.There is Wisconsin money in sight tocover this, but the badger backers willnot even up. The Minnesota men cannotsee why they should always be expected togive heavy odds on Minnesota, and thisyear they are not doing it.
