At 2:3O this afternoon the Minnesota
Haskell game, which was postponed from
Saturday because of the rain, will be
paved at Northrop field. The indications
ere that it will not be postponed again
because of wet weather The game will
be played today rain or shine. Both
teams are ready for the fray and both
In good condition. The Indians are es-
pcci3lly eager to meet the Gophers on
The gridirOn. They seem to labor under
the impression that they are going to
turn some surprise on the husky Mime
sotans. The varsity boys are going TO
take no chances, and the game promises
to be one of great interest. There will
undoubtedly be a large crowd out to see
The famous Indian football experts. The
cold weather will only add zest to the
players and insure a better game all
around. The Indians insist that nothing
can keep them from scoring on Mime
sofa. The experience of the Iowa team,
if nothing else, forbids any mention of
Il possible uncrossed goal line. The line
al for the game today will probably be
as follows:
Minnesota Haskell

The fun reports of the Wisconsin Ne
sr&ska same certainly indicate a weak
Aess on the part of the Badgers, and
at the present time there is little doubt
That Minnesota is in better form II
Kings men expect to make good ON the
10Th they must show a vast improve
anent. During the entire first half of the
game on Saturday the Nebraska players
forced the fighting and smashed the Wis
Cunsin line for repeated gains, while their
defense seemed invulnerable. The result
is TO be explained simply on the ground
that the Badgers were the stronger and
heavier players and they tired out the
Eornhuskers, 50 that in the second half
they were able to 90 about as hey
pleased against their weaker antagonists,
but while the Nebraskans were in fettle
they more than held their own against
Ehe Badgers.
Ii is freely confessed or adj sides that
thc showing of Wisconsin is disappoint-
Ing in the extreme. If Minnesota con-
tnues to work consistently from now I'M
II the 10Th inst. there should be little
doubt as to the result. The present
heavy team has always played a better
game in the second half than in the first
malt. They have never yet been ex-
hausted in any Of their games, but were
stronger at the close than at the start.
wisconsin Must Play Ball.
To defeat the Gophers Wisconsin must
glay ball till the last minute of the game.
The defense of Wisconsin, as thus far ex-
hibted, cannot be compared to that of
Minnesota. The Nebraska team, greatly
outclassed as it was, made great gaps in
the Badger line. Nebraska 5 backs plung-
ed through it as if it were tissue paper,
and as long as the COrnhuskers kept their
wind they had no trouble in gaining
through the Wisconsin line Nebraska
made no gains to speak of against the
Minnesota Defense but were forced to
kick throughout the game to protect their
goal. But four times in the entire play
did they make their distance on downs
against the Gophers. The Madison peo-
Rle size up Saturdays game in this wise:
The Wisconsin eleven is not yet in
championship form Can they improve
more in the next two weeks than the
t1ophers will have improved in six weeks?
10 win that is what they must do. There
is little danger that the varsity eleven
HANDLED by such man as Williams will
make the mistake o. cashing in thus early
en- Wisconsin's supposed weakness, and
suffer from overconfidence
The loss of Mueller forces upon Will
Jams a problem difficult of satisfactory
solution But there are several ways
out of the difficulty, and when Williams
mas sized up the various solutions and
decided on one, it may be confidently ac-
cepted as the proper remedy.
Fer those who delight in comparative 4
scores the following are given, but it Is
well to remember some Of the things that
comparative scores do not prove. Here

tons the Eastern championship will be
definitely settled when Yale and Harvard

the face of things thus far Harvard has
y slight advantage.
one of the things not 90 he overlooked
IN Saturdays terms is that Iowa's ''sa-
cred goal line was again crossed, this
time by Knox, giving another severe jar
to McCutcheon's bunch.
1t is too bad that Iowa and Nebraska
do not meet this year. They are prob
ably more evenly matched than any two
teams in the West.
TIE only games in the West next Sat
urdaN are the Illinols-Iowa game and the
thicago-Northwestern game. Northwest
