the toboggan" as has been so gleefully
expressed in certain places about town
the past few days. The Olympics OF
San Francisco win arrive to-day and
Butte will do its utmost TO retrieve the
laurels II has lost. Reliance defeated
the O1ympics so much more emphati-
cally than they defeated the Buttes
that under ordinary circumstances
Butte should not have much difficulty
IN getting away with this California
team. But Butte will have a weaker
team to present against the Olympics
than II presented against Reliance and
that should even up things. Gillis, the
star player of the team. will in all prob
abilities not be able to play as he has
not yet recovered from the severe
knockout received at Denver. Lass
well is also In bad shape. and 1t Is not
certain that he will play, although he
will IL possible for Butte will be weak
Indeed without either ellis or Lass
well Jim Hooper and Carr have not
arrived. Mcmillan got in yesterday
the Reliance team is bound to strength
en- Butte. Hartzell of Denver will play.
He is an old football player. although
little rusty on active work. Charley
Hooper will be back in the harness
once more and will cover his old posi-
tion at center.
Hooper played left guard for Mich
tgan in last Saturdays game with the
University of Minnesota, which team
is to play in Butte next month. Michi-
gan won by 20 to 0. Minnesota putting
up very weak game. The Chicago
Times-Herald says OF the game:
The gold and maroon OF the Univer-
sity of Minnesota was trailed In the
mud at the ball park here this after
noon by the defenders of the yellow
and blue of Michissp. The wolverines
won by a score of 20 to 0. Minnesota
was never in the game. Its team
showed surprising weakness in often
Give play. In defensive work the Min
nesota players displayed more strength
twice in the first half making brilliant
stands against Michigan's fierce rushes
when the ball was within a few yards
OF the goal line. Minnesota's backs,
however. could make no Roadway with
the ball when IL was in that teams
possession. and Parkyn was invariably
forced to kick Many of his punts were
spoiled by Michigan men, who broke
through the line.
'Michigan's team also showed unex-
pected weakness. The field was Slip
perry. however. and prevented the in
reference getting under way as rapid
Nv as usual But Minnesota's line was
torn open almost at will and the backs
had little difficulty getting round the
ends. At critical stages, however,
Michigan was guilty of holding or OFF
side play and lost a good deal for those
offenses. Minnesota's team was not
entirely clear OF these faults. but II
lost the ball less frequently than did
Michigan. The game was entirely
clean. there being not the slightest
suspicion of smuggling on either side.
Michigan students painted the town
tonight. while the ''rooters" who came
along with the Minnesota team are
keeping very quiet. The weather was

1000 people turned out TO witness the

The great game between the Penn
sylvania and Cornell will take place
on Thanksgiving day.
The San Francisco Chronicle gives
the following account of the great
game between Reliance and Olympic:
TWENTY-FIVE husky young Califor-
mans rushed a tan-hued sphere down
the gridironed field OF Central park
yesterday from $3.50 u. m until 1t was
too dark to see the sphere. When they
were through Oakland had heated San
Francisco out of its copper-toed boots
and Reliance had downed Olympic to
the merry tune of IA to 6.
There was a good, healthy rivalry
between the two athletic clubs. 1t
may not be like the deadly hatred OF
the two college elevens and their root
ers.' but like Mercutios wound, 1T
will serve The men OF Reliance are
brawny. sturdy fellows, broad of
shoulder and built like brick houses.
The Olympic men, unlike the giants of
former years. are 1.-THE and small, agile
as cats and with feline uncertainty.
They are the catch me IL you can
kind OF men. They did some brilliant
playing yesterday against heavy odds.
Reliance men plugged for points
and pushed for yards and they landed
knee-deep in glory.
The modern game Is Infinitely more
Interesting than that OF a year or even
two years ago. The players do not hug
the ball-all the time these days A
mass OF men. about twenty-five deep.
with wild chaos of arms and legs
blue and red ones-is interesting per-
haps. but custom makes Il stale When
you learn at length that the bottom
man comes out with a whole spine
and nothing the matter with his skull,
you lose interest.
The climax OF yesterdays play was
Percy Morse's magnificent run around
Reliance's left end. He tucked the ball
under his arm and ran in a broad
curve from half down the Olympic
side to point behind the opposite
goal-ran like demon and lodged like
a streak OF well-greased lightning The
clip looked like 10 seconds AS he ran
the interference was superb. Each
olympic picked the man the game as
signs him, engaged him in mortal COM
bat. and Morse ran on. Two feet be-
yond the goal he went and threw him
self headlong on the tan-colored OBJ
5ect OF his affection.
Then the Olympians went mad for
jov. Canes with red and white stream
ers waved. and a hoarse bass shout
went up from the bleachers They
gave the yell hundred times, and the
men IN the blue sweaters picked Morse
up and gave him a triumphant ride on
their shoulders.
"All the time Greer Harrison, chew
ing an unlit cigar and never making
a sound. stood up and swung his hat
until II seemed as though he would
twist mis- arm OF. He was too glad TO
shout
1T was the only touchdown Olympic
made. but IL was a beauty.
Reliance played well and piled up
an invincIble score. They had plenty
