nesota team. Pillsbury was through, but
Van Camper was there and Harrison and
Walker. AS usual the Wisconsin game
was the big game of the year, but this
time the cardinal team stood solid
against Minnesota and Won out by the
score of to o.
The next season brought Harry Loomis,
who Won glory as a halfhack. Loomis
played with the team the following year,
and his fast work won him a reputation
that brought him offers from many teams
looking for a strong football coach.
The other players named in the list
printed in this story have all played in
games on the U team, but the real stars
are the ones told about-the men WHO
played when Minnesota clashed with Wis
consin.
The picture of the first team of. the
university shows the great difference be-
tween the game of today and the game
of 1887. Then mass plays were practical
ly unknown. The line was looked upon
to keep the opposing line away from the
backs and the backs were expected to
carry the ball. A captain ordering a
tackle back play would have started a
protest that could only be stopped by con-
sulting the book of rules, and then 1t is
more than probable that the referee would
refuse to permit the play.
Today the football player goes out on
the gridiron arrayed in arnor from head
to foot. Then padded trousers were not
thought of; some of the men played in
tights. A canvas jacket to prevent hold
ing was all the protection these early
players believed necessary and several
players were proud enough to wear neck
ties into the game.

tempt to get around the Minnesota end,
and of a tackle that brought Sumner
down without yard gained. They can
tell how Belden kicked a goal from the
field and how Harding crawled ten or
twelve yards with the two teams piled
on his back.
In 1891 Belden was out of the game,
but the other old-timers living in Mir
neapolis who were in the 1890 game, were
there and helped stop Wisconsin's deter
mined effort to stamp the maroon and
gold in the dirt. Leary was captain Of
the team this year. His men were COM
PEELED to work hard, for Wisconsin scored
first and scored second time before the
game was over. The first score in this
game was really a fuke, for Minnesota
had pushed the ball over the Wisconsin
line when the Minnesota man fumhied
and Wisconsin player seizing the ball
ran the entire length of the field for a
touchdown.
In 1893 Van Camper was playing on the
team Harding and Pillsbury were still
at the q. but Belden and Leary were
through with the game. Madison felt

Leary and George Belden. Many others
who followed on succeeding teams, but
are entitled to be recognized as old-time
players, still live within a few miles of
their university. In the list may be
found C. Fl. Van Camper, E. P. Hard
ing, John Harrison, H. c. Loomis, Willis
Walker, George Cole, Washington Smith,
Arthur Smith, Ho Gilbert, Charles Shep
ley, Richard Wordsworth, Fred Glover,
Martin Teigen and V. Won Schlegell.
Though boasting of a team in 1887, Min
nesota first demanded attention in $780,
when Minnesota met Wisconsin for the
first time and defeated the Badger team
by the glorious score of 63 to 0. Belden
played in that game and Harding made
the Wisconsin team remember him for
years. ALT. Pillsbury was at quarter in
this first clash of the Gopher and the
Badger, and William Leary was one of
the halfbacks. Belden played fullback
and Harding was one of the tackles.
The student body of today may know
little about that famous battle, other
than the score, but the men who played
for Minnesota in his first game are stil

ball player remains with him. On all sides
he hears words of praise, and he is happy
in the present, but even football players
are forgotten.
In St. Paul and Minneapolis today live
men who were once stars on the white
barred football field and the student body
of today, almost to a man, pass these
men by UNDECIDED.
They are the pioneers who blaze the
way for football at the Minnesota uni
versity. They made Northrop field posi-
BILE; they planted the seed that gave Min
nesota a team strong enough to compel
the admiration of the intercollegiate
world; and yet today few of the support
ers of the maroon and gol3 know their
names
These men. though their football repu-
tations are buried in the commercial world
of today, feel proud of the records made
when it was their turn to line up against
the teams of the other colleges, and they
delight to gather in groups and talk of
the old days of the game. They are not
envious of the triumphs scored by their
successors, but With the cheers of the
thousands ringing in their ears, they cam
not help but think Of the difference be-
tween now and then.

TRAINERS ARE N. G.
Knipe Does Not believe They Are
of Use to a Team.


IOWA CITY. Dec. coach "A: a.
a believer in trainers for football teams
and does not hesitate to say so. The
subject of having a trainer for next
year mas been discussed by a number OF
students who have seen the great re-
gard in which some university trainers
are held and the share in the victories
that have come to the teams this tall
which has been accorded the trainers by
the students VINO enthuse over them
The Daily IOwan in an editorial advo-
Gated the enlisting of a trainer to super
intend the physical condition of the team
next year work that this year has
been done by Coach Knipe and Assist
ant Coach Hobbs. Coach Knipe read
the Iowan's editorial yesterday While
waiting for his train to take him to
his home in Sioux Falls, s. D., Where
he went to look after several patients
that will demand his care for a few
days.
why do We need a trainer. anyway,
I would like to know?'' said DR.. Knlpe.
Il think that trainers are the subjects OF
a great deal of oyeres timation al many
universities l do not admire the work
ball game. In fact, l think they are big
nu1SanceS. They fondle the men and
coddle them and say they cannot work
too hard and many other things of which
the coach is the judge. | would not
leave a trainer around one of my teams
under any consideration.
Football men cannot be coddled and
shown too much tenderness without sonic
bad effects The fact of the matter seems
to be that when a trainer connects him
self with successful team he is some
thing desirable. whereas he may simply
nave been innocuouS or his coddling
may have been overcome by some other
influence or the team has been too
strong for 1t to make any difference.
1.-THE Iowa team this year suffered a
great deal from accidents, but none Of
them that I am aware of could have
been prevented had we had trainer
for the team. A trainer cannot keep a
man from having his knee wrenched Or
having befall him the many accidents to
which football players are peculiarly LA
bic. Because We have had a large num-
Der of these accidents Jumped together
this season does not argue that we
should have trainer any more than the
mere fact that Northwestern and Chica-
go resolving to have trainers hereafter
should make us Immediately follow the
precedent.
1.-The matter of selecting an all-West-
ern eleven seems to nave given many
sporting writer's a hard time continued
Coach Knipe 81 could not say what Sc
lection is the best, as it is hard york
to select any. I think that Michigan
would beat any team that could be pick
ed outside Of her team.

the season opens with these youths try
ing for places. In 1887 the training quar-
tiers were never overcrowded, and the
old-timers still tell about the game at

reported at the train compelling the cap
tain of the team to pick up a farmer
boy at one of the stations on the way
Gown in~order to have a full team.
The players on these early teams are
row scattered over the country. Some
of them still claim Minneapolis and st.
Paul as their homes, and when the day
of the big football game arrives they find
their way to Northrop field.
Among the early players of the 1887 and
1883 teams to be found in the Twin Cities
