"~s University Interests.

Under the auspices of The Minneapolis
Journal, and the Minnesota Daily, the Of
fetal university paper, the biggest and best
football bulletin show ever presented in
Minneapolis will be given Thanksgiving
Day at Exposition hall, and rooters who
are unbale to attend the Minnesota Michi-
gan game will have an opportunity to
follow the progress of the game In all its
finer details. '....
For years The Journal movable bulletin
board, or model gridiron, has given to
thousands a satisfactory and graphic re-
production Of the larger details of every
game played by the Minnesota team away
from home. The scheme evolved now is as
far ahead of the model gridiron as the lat
ter was ahead Of the old style written bull
letins. The new plan will enable the
crowd at Exposition hall to see the game
played In all its finer details, in a graphic
and satisfactory manner.
The exposition hall will seat many thou
sands. The game begins at Ann Arbor
Cor Detroit) at 2 p. m. Thanksgiving Day,
and T e o ur a has already made
arrangements to have e wire run directly
from the grounds to the exposition build
ing. A bulletin service fully commensu-
rate with the Importance of the great con-
test will be given. All the movements Of
the ball will be depicted, showing the kind
of play, the yards gained or lost, and all
the other details. The names Of the play
ers concerned In important plays will also
be given to the audience.
The entertainment is a benefit, and the
beneficiary named by T h J O. n a is
the Free Kindergarten association, one OF
tons in the city. The Minnesota Daily
will select as its beneficiary certain uni
versity interests, to be definitely decided
when the exact amount of the receipts Is
known. In any event. however, the Min
nesOta Daily's share of the receipts will
go to some public university enterprise.
1nasmuch as Thanksgiving day is a ho]i-
Gay, and inaSmuch as only a. small per-
centage of the football enthusiasts in the
city will attend the game at Ann Arbor
Cor Detroi) it is expected that several
thousand rooters will accept the oppor-
tunfty to see this championship game. sc
faithfully and graphically reproduced
While the hour may conflict. with the din
ner hour Of some enthusiasts, 1t is be-
lieved that few. will allow this considera-
ton to keep them away, and that the ma.
jority will change their dinner hour tn
stead of missing the chance of following
the fortunes OF their team in the last an6
greatest contest OF the season. -
This ,1s the most elaborate scheme ever
evolved for :; the reproduGt Ion. Of 4 foot
bali game, and 1t is hoped that the audi
cnce will he as nearly as possible re-
production of the spectators at football
game, and that the roofing and cheering
will be the equivalent Of THAT on the
gridiron in Michigan. There will be room
for thousands and the privilege of seeins
the game from a comfortable seat in a
we'll warmed hall is ;a"big consideration.
General admiss ion for the show will b.
rs cents Few seats will be reserved, bu
for the benefit of those who may be forced
toe& arrive late on account of dinner o.
other engagements; the box seats and or
chestra: chairs will be reserved at IS cents
Announcement of the opening of the sal,
Of reserved seats will be made within
day or two.
Inasmuch as the Minnesota Daily is on,
Of the promoters of the entertainment i
is expected that the students will be GU
In hundreds to cheer for their team. TIL,
Journal Newsboys band will be in attend
ance, and will enliven the period between
halves, and also render selections as {
prelude to the opening of the bulletin
