CHANCE FOR A Line
Minnesota Plays Grinnell and Iowa
Plays Ames College.
GRINNELL PLAYED AMES o TO o
Second Minnesota Team VIII Play
North Dakota Agricultural
School Team Friday.

While the football game of next Satur-
day may not be regarded as dangerous
one by the friends of the varsity team, IL
Is nevertheless a game OF considerable
Importance Grinnell is understood to
have a good team this year. Sept. 2S 1t
played a game with the Ames college
boys which resulted in tie-O to .. Inc
Ames boys are understood to be ooth
heavy and fast this year. The inference,
therefore. is that the Grinnell team Is
one that can give a good accounting.
Grinnell always did play fine, clean foot
. ball with Minnesota and has not an un-
broken record Of defeats at the hands
OF the Minnesotans by any means. The
game of Saturday will be important for
the further reason that Iowa state U
plays Ames Saturday. Opportunities for
q comparison of the work OF the Iowa
State U folk with that Of the Minnesotans
will be afforded, therefore, and something
can be told as to what to expect Oct 70,
when Iowa meets Minnesota.
Game for Second Team.
The second Minnesota team will be
given q chance to show what 1t can 90
against a foreign foe Friday, when 1t Will
meet the North Dakota Agricultural team
at Fargo, n. D. The makeup OF the team
for the game has not yet been decided
upon. From the stiff work the second
team has been giving the first team, It IS
predicted that the farmers Of the flicker
tail state will have their hands full. Ad-
vices from Fargo state that the agricul-
turalists are preparing to make things
warm for the midget gophers and are
hoping for dry weather so that the swift
ends may have firm ground over which

Hard Signal Practice.
The university football team was given
q stiff signal practice Of half an hours
duration yesterday afternoon, followed by
twenty minutes Of hard scrimmage work.
All the regulars were out except Knowl-
ton, who Is still nursing his broken finger.
Boeckman had recovered from his injuries
sufficiently to get into some Of the scrim-
images, but Allen, who has been alternat-
ing with Boeckman at left half, Is still
on the hospital list. The rest of the men
are said to be in good condition except for
q few slight bruises.
The positions Of left half back and right
tackle are untitled, and apparently more
of q puzzle than at the beginning Of the
season. Boeckman, Allen, Evans, Thorpe
and drafeld have made fair showings be-
hind the line. No high-class tackle has
been developed. Tiff, Schacht, Waist and
Thorpe are all fairly good men.
Central High to Play Friday.
The Central High school team will play
most OF It's games this season on Northrop
field. Mr.. Beall, the lessee Of Nicollet
park refused to rent the park to the high
school management, and the university
authorities have given permission for the
games to be played early Friday after
moons on Northrop field, the stipulation
being made that the game shall be
finished before the hour set for the var
slty practice.
The contest between Central High and
the Mechanic Arts team Of st. Paul will
be played on the university field Friday
afternoon.

ereeing high school games. Mr.. Tweet is
