ager -SteEens,a5of the Foxy QuilIer'
company, has decided to inaugurate the
custom IN royal fashion, and so success
iuiiy as TO establish it as a regular
tn'ng. they have set aside Saturday
night as Football Night" and the foot
pail interest will be supreme.
Supt. Dow Smith, of the city railway
company, will send a football special to
Minneapolis, and Immediately after the

managers and hackers, and the. profess
sors and coachers, about sixty in all.
Will be carried in triumph to st. Paul

one side of the theater will be decked out
IN the maroon and gold colors of Mime
sofa, and the other side in the old gold
manners of Iowa. Mr.. Sykes and the
company Will take especial pains to
tickle the footballists during the even
VIII be returned to Miilfleap polls on the
special car. 1t will be a happy occa-
sion.
The enthusiasm over the coming game
continues to increase. There is every,
indication that the crowd will be the
largest that has ever attended a game
at Northrop field The special rate from
Iowa assures a crowd of 1900 at least,
and every section of Minnesota will send
hundreds 10 Tiy,,,a &c on
Saturday. ST. Paul enthusiasts are go
ing to turn out in large numbers to at
test their loyalty to the Gophers.
Knipe Is Confident.
Dr. Knipe evidently expects that his
beefy battalion will be bumped hard dur
ing the game, and is planning on several
of his men being, laid-out He is making
special effort TO cit a large number Of
substitutesf.to be ready IN case of emer-
gency.
The latest report from Iowa City is to
the effect that Knipe is so confident of
the superiority of his men that he has
abandoned the idea of using his trick
plays. He iEteiids to play straight foot
ball during the first half TO show how
easy it is to play the Gophers to a stand
still, and then in the second half his
men are to go in and overWhelm the
varsity team with touchdowns galore
If Mr.. Knipe's' press agent keeps this
thing up some good Iowa rooters Will be
looking for him when they have dropped
their little Wad of money.
DR.. Williams has the Minnesota team
at Minnetonka now putting on the fin
ishing touches. He will put the boys
through all the new plays until they are
fully perfected and will keep them away
from Minneapolis until just before the
game. He is giving out very little in
formation as to the teams work, and
will not say anything concerning the
probable lineup. Thorpe has returned
and will in all likelihood be in the game
on Saturday.
Betting on the result has not been as
lively as was expected thus far. Despite
their apparent confidence, the Iowa peo-
pie, when it comes to showdown, think
they are entitled to Odds A number of
bets have been made that Iowa will not
score.
One Minnesotan has bet that Minnesota
will win by IS points. This is SO far as
known, the biggest risk taken.
