SCHEDULE IS GOOD
Reply to Some Who Think They
Won't See Enough Football.
LIMITATIONS ON MANAGEMENT
Team Can't Play All Games Here MOI
Meet Succession of Heavy
Teams.

Some Of those who love the great sport
of football are saying that tney are no'
to see enough of the game IN Mlnneapo-
lis this fall. For the benefit OF such per
sons attention is called by those elose
to the management to the Minnesota
schedule and to some Of the limitations
placed upon the management IN tue eA
rangement OF the same.
The first real trial of strength comes
next Saturday in the game with the chi
cago physicians and Surgeons. II mas
been pointed out already that the meln-
bers of the "P. & S." team are not only
veteran football players, but that tney
have played together as team tnrouSh
an entire season, with the exception OF one
man. Besides the men have all mace
names for themselves in football. Ihese
facts should be enough to assure lovers
OF the sport that Saturdays game VIII %
well worth being on hand to see. 1t may
or 1t may not prove heart breaking
game. Whether it does or not, II Will Dc
4 sharp battle and give a pretty exnlDl-
tion Of the game. One OF the nnest
games to watch last fall was that Win
Northwestern, yet the issue was never a.
doubt. This will doubtless be as pretty
a game and should draw large crowd, be-
cause. as stated. it will also mean the first
real trial Of strength of the gopher team
for this season.
Then next Saturday comes the game
with Nebraska. All who saw the game at
Lincoln last fall will want to see the
game of Oct r. 1t will be fierce pattIe'
for, whether the confidence OF Mlnneso-
tans in their heroes leads them TO thlnk
the victory will be an easy one or not the
Nebraskans will put up great ngnt ana
one that would try any foes greatest
strength.
Following the Nebraska game comes
that with Grinnen. The Grinnen team
has always played pretty football, and may
be counted upon to keep up its record TINS
year.
Then comes the game with the loWans,
who call themselves champions OF l9OO.
Minnesota will never admit tnat Inc
Iowans are entitled to the honor, and the
measuring-up Of these two teams, alter
all the hot words Of comparison that were
printed last fall, should bring out tre-
mendous crowd. 1t is certain that at tnat
game, too, will be given great exnlbl-
ton In advance the contest appears 70
contain all Of the elements that make for
a thrilling contest.
week later comes the North Dakota
game, and then the gophers go to Madlson
for the annual struggle with the Daogers.
A low rate will doubtless be made so tnat
a large body of enthusiasts can see that

all but the most ''bloodthirsty," so tar as
the sport in Minneapolis is concerned. Ii
takes the season up to Nov. 16, after
which, in this northern climate, there Is
not much pleasure in sitting outdoors to
watch even a football game, except 1oI
those who have the football fever, which,
like love, 9'keeps the cold out like
cloak"
OF necessity a part Of the schedule this
year has to be played away from nome
Furthermore the team has about all OF
the big games a team can well take on 1or
a single season. The character OF these Is
sufficiently set forth above, and there
should be no complaint. At least that Is
the feeling Of the management.
There is talk at Evanston, H., OF the
possible cancellation Of the Northwestern
Minnesota game, owing TO the fact thai
there is objection on the part Of some to
the arrangement to play it at Marshall
Field instead of Evanston. Just why the
game should be Cancelled Is not clear as
the question seems to be one of accommo-
dating the largest crowd possible. the
Evanston folk regard the game with MIL
nesota as the star game Of the season
and there Is little likelihood OF their call
