WILL NOT PLAY.
No Post Season Game Between Iowa
and Minnesota

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov 22-The athletic
authorities If the University of Mime
sofa do not Think it possible to arrange
post season game between Iowa and
Minnesota to settle the championship
question. Prof. F. S. Jones, who is
chairman of the board of control said
today;
tOf course, I cannot say positively
without a consultation with the rest of
the board that Minnesota will not play,
but it now seems certain that we shall
close our season with the Thanksgiving
game with Nebraska at Lincoln The
weather has been such that a later
game is not to be thought of. We have
not been able to hold any outdoor prac-
tice fer d week now and there is no
prospect that we shall be able to hold
any more. Winter has set in here. OBJ
viCuSly ii would not be fair to the Min
nesota team to send it into a champion
ship contest when it is impossible to
keep the men in condition. If we played
a post season game. it would be without
outdoor practice for nearly three weeks.
The squad has now been in training for
three months and the players are all
anxious to break training. Nevertheless
if weather conditions were favorable
they would like nothing better than to
play Iowa"
Assistant Coach Donaldson said: You
may state positively that no proposal
for post season game will be consider
ed. The season win end with the game
next Thursday"
