But for all that, the article hich re.

some statements which the whites Of

make the South bloom and prosper
but ii treated wrong they will seek
what opportunity they can to weaken
IL; that the country can not live in
peace and happiness With one law for
ons ciass and another for another
class.
Now the above constitutes all of the
threats which are alleged to have cre-
ated mild sensation."
In other words it is an admission
that this colored journal edited by two
or the most able and conservative COL
cred ministers in the country had
"msde no threats"
Here we have white Negro-haters
threatening to reduce the Negro to a
condition Of slavery, disfranchisinV
advising his deportation to Africa, snd
counselling she massacre of one OF
the kindliest races on the face of the
globe and nothing is said il condemns
tion Of their threats.
And yet simply because this journal
states the nth which comes down to
as through RE pathway of history
it's uttersncfs are declared to be incen-

But the TINES is conservative and
fair 10 dealing with this question. 1t

Windy City Eleven Is Weak in In

CHICAGO. Oct. 25-Two brilliant runs
one by Capt Davidson for forty-ffve
yards, and another by Reynolds for thir-
ty-five ycrds, together with goal kick
ed by Shook, netted a score of II points
for the University OF Pennsylvania eleven
today, while the Chicago men were I'M
able to score. In the first half, Chicago

Davidson smashed through center, STUN
bled, recovered and then ran down the
field without interference Cor the first
touchdown. Shook kicked an easy goal.
The second half was scarcely under way
when Reynolds, on delayed pass, got
the pigskin and sourried down the grid
iron for the second touchdown. He slid
the last three yards with Sheldon cling
Fasteners were the conspicuous super
Tors of their opponents in tackling and
in returning punts, and especially in their

Maroons were lamentably weak. In line

in this they gained easily % per cent

back play was used but little by its orig
inators, as it proved to be no ground

ST. PAUL TEAMS WIN.
Central and Mechanic Arts High
Victorious at Lexington.

Two good games of football were play
ed yesterday forenoon at Lexington park
The St. Paul Central high played the
RlVer Falls, Wis, high school team, and
the Mechanic Arts played the Mime
arolis South side high. In both games
the teams were well matched and the
playing was vigorous and scientific The
game between the Central high and the
River Falls team was called at 10 o'clock
There was no score made until towards
the end of the second half, when the
Centrals carried the ball across the line
and kicked the goal This game was i'm
medlateiy followed by the one between
the st. Paul Mechanic Arts high sc.oc1
and the Minneapolis South side high.
Both sides played a snappy game.
Toward the end of the first half, Myrick,
of the Minneapolis team, the note.
Splinter, carried the ball around the,
Mechanics right end and almost half
way across the field, until within a few
yards of the goal before he could be
stopped. The end of the first half was
announced few minutes later, before
the Minneapolis team had a chance to
reach the line. In the second hair, the
Mechanic Arts team, by succession OF
brilliant plays scored twice, but failed to
kick goal both times. The Minneapolis
team also scored once, making the score
10 to in favor of Mechanic Arts.
The Mechanic Arts boys have improved
vastly of late, and will make it lively
for their opponents during the rest of
the season.

eNSeptzs bitterly at being ruled out at the
last moment, 1t was a bad piece of work,
for fairer player than Aune never wore
a football Uniform.
Iowa Poor Losers.
One regrettable feature of the game
was the way in which Iowa accepted de-
feat. They were inclined to be sore af-s
ter the game. From the beginning OF
the game they found fault continually.
Every time Dobie spat on his hands.
<nipe would say foul" and McCutcheon
shrek robbery, Knipe insisted that
La Fans touchdown should not be al
lowed, as it was clear case of holding.
They We're loath to admit the superiority
of the Minnesota team. They roasted
DR.. Williams for protesting Quarterback
Williams, and talkd of refusing to go on
the field. AS a matter of fact. just as
DIR. Williams explained, the Iowa cap
tain was protested in order to protecr
Minnesota. and Minnesota was perfectly
willing that Williams should play under
protest, having no desire to keep him
out of the game. The Iowa PLAYERS
themselves say that Williams was not In
shape to go into the game.
After playing SO admirable a game Iowa
has no reason to feel sore because of
their defeat There was noticeable,
difference in their spirit and that display
ed by Nebraska.
Phil King, the Wisconsin coach, was
present occupying a box from which
point he closely watched the play, max
ing notationS on the back of an envelope.
King was less worried than when he
watched the Nebraska game. He evident
ly expected to see more Improvement
in the Gophers. DR.. Williams and the
players both realize that there is neces-
sity for much Improvement before the
great game at Madison. and that i'm
prevement will be forthcoing. They will
go to work with will to fit themselves
for the final contest for Western suprem-
acy. 1t would seem impossible to better
their defense very much. If any team
in the country can smash UP the present
Minnesota line it comes pretty close TO
being the best team in the bunch. But
Minnesota does not want tie with the
Badgers, but hopes to win, and with this

First Half.
AT 2:90 the Gophers came running out
of the armory, and the crowd set up a
wild cheer. Shortly afterward the Iowa
squad appeared, donned in the old gold
sweaters. They looked small in com
parison with the stalwart varsity boys.
At 2:45 Iowa kicked off fodty-five yards
and Dobie brought the ball back ten.
Fee went twice over the line for five
yards, and La Fans made four through
the tackles. Held for downs, Minnesota
was forced to punt, the ball going out
of bounds and to Iowa on the Minnesota
thirty-fve-yard line. Both teams were
playing great game and conteSting ev~
cry inch of ground. Waters made four
yards, and then Minnesota held, throw
ing Mack back for a loss and getting
the ball. Fee made two yards. and La
Fans eight, when Iowa held, and
Knowlton was forced to kick sixty-five
yards. Iowa could not bulge the Gopher
line, and Macy kicked forty-five yards
Dobie making ten back with Rogers fine
interfering assistance. Boeckman went
around right for two, Fee through center
for three, Boeckman around left to be
stopped by the Iowa tackles. Minnesota
tried goal from field but failed, and
Mueller downed Macy before he could
gain five yards. Welland fumbled and
Knowlton fell on the ball. Aune and La
Fans made slight gains, but >the Mime
sofa play was broken up by the halfbacks
and Iowa secured the ball on downs
Iowa tried the line but could not gain.
Schacht broke through and blocked
Waters, and Iowa was forced to kick
for forty yards. Rogers was down the
field to help Dobie for a five-yard gain.
La. Fans hit the line for four, Boeck-
man for two, and Fee for three, and
Schacht twice for five, but Iowa got the
ball again on downs, but was immedi-
ately forced to kick forty-five yards.
DObie i'm Evidence.
Dobie made a sensational run of twen-
ty-flve yards through the Iowa players
by clever lodging, and after he was
thrown crawled two yards with three
men or top of him. B oeckman went

they were penalized for ten yards for this
offense and the distance awarded Yale
aided materially in keeping the BAH
in the enemy,s territory.
The contest throughout was more stub
bornly and fercely fought than MANY
another so-called big" game played in
New Haven. Columbia's back field plav--
ers were up to the standard which has
enrolled them already in the list of great
football players. The blue and the white
rush line occasioned much comment bv it's
apparent stonewalI solidity early in the
game, and these same linesmen were ale
often to open up gaping holes in the stal-
Wart line of Yale. There was more or
less smuggling and roughing and on one or
two occasions the rival players were
momentarily locked in little disputes that
might have blossomed into free fights
mad not cooler heads prevailed.
throughout e afternoon the 6 600 spec
tators We're treated to an exhibition OF
the sturdiest and most skilfuI kind OF
football. By many the outcome of the
game is looked upon as virtual Column
bla victory on the theory that at this
advanced stage of the season Yale's team
should be capable of administering a
smothering defeat to a team so young In
football experience.
