MERRILL, FILES PROTEST
Coach Of St. Cloud High Says His
Team Beat Central Fairly
and squarely.

Larry Merrill, the old Central high
school football player, now coaching the
St. Cloud high school, takes exception to
the statement Of Coach LOOMS Of Central
high that the Minneapolis team should
have won last Saturdays game with ST.
Cloud. Merrill says in a letter to T n e
J ourna u:
IF you could have seen the game I
think you would have given St. Cloud
credit for winning the game fairly In the
first half, it is true. Central played a
better game than st. Cloud, but in the
second half it was decidedly In favor OF
St. Cloud. All through the game Cen
trails gains were nearly all made on end
runs and double passes, while st. Cloud s
gains were short but steady, and our at
tack was very firing to Centrals line and
backs. We made several longer runs, two
Of which nearly netted touchdowns.
"Our successful drop kick was made in
the last half from the twenty-five-yard
line and cut the goal squarely in the mid
die. If the quarterback had given the
proper play when the last two drop kicks
were made we surely would have made a
touchdown The fact that we tried three
drop kicks in the last half shows who
had the better of the argument. Our line
held every time on drop kicks or punts,
while we blocked Central several times.
We clearly outplayed and outclassed Cen
trail, and we wish to get credit for it.
IT do not claim anything as regards
the championship, but we will make a
strong bid for it if given the chance. I
| would like to get games with North and
South high of Minneapolis and Central OF
| st, Paul. The game we played at Duluth
was fatal for u.s. as it was our first game
and the boys all had stage fright, which
resulted In our defeat.

SMALL BORE RIFLES BEST
Best Killing Guns Are Those Of High
Velocity, Which Use Smoke
less Powder.

The old dispute between big bOreS and
small bores is meaningless now, because
the most killing guns are the high veloc-
ity nitro guns, Which are all small bore
compared with the black powder guns.
The best all-around rifle is now the 30
calibre nitro, not because it will do all
that is claimed for it, but because 1t
makes so much f1atter line to everything
within reasonable distance than any
black powder gun can do. The ball goes
too much to pieces on some shots, and all
that have tried throw 10 per cent OF
balls wild, five slightly wild and five badly
so. But the swiftness of the ball over
balances the other defects.
An all-around rifle is almost impossible
and some sacrifice must be made. Sacri-
flee for flat trajectory is not always 4
sacrifice of accuracy, but often one In
favor of it. Between Is and 200 yards
the place where most shots on open
ground fall, no black powder gun small
enough to be carried with comfort car
make up in accuracy what it loses ir
curve of trajectory as compared with the
so calibre nitro rifle. I refer to the high
velocity shell and not the smokeless cart
ridges of the same strength as black pow
der.
The soft-nosed bullet driven with the
high power nitro is the most killing form
in which a ball of equal diameter can bs
made for all-round work. Those OF cop
per or steel do not make a large enough
hole for most shots on the softer parts
Of the body. From Handling the RlTf
on Game, from Outing for November.

Hit and Run Game.
Says "Bilie'' Keller: None of us had
ever heard of the hit-and-run game until it
came up accidentally the first day of the
season OF '94. We were playing in New
York. McGraw got on first base and
started to steal. saw him going when the
ball came over the plate I swung for it.
Johnny Ward had left his position to
cover second base to get the throw, and
I hit through his position. McGraw went
to third, and that play won us the game,
which was close. The play struck US as
being a corker. and we all remarked about
it after the game. The next morning we
were all at the park early and practiced
that play. We fixed up sign and worked
it successfully during that series and beat
New York three out Of four, much to the
surprise Of the New York players and
Johnny Ward. We played it all that sea-
son, and venture to say that the sea son
was almost half over before any Of the
papers mentioned the hit-and-run game.
Late In the season some of the other teams
began to play the hit-and-run. Hanlon
says that the Detroit team played 1t back
in the sos, but if it is the case do know
that he never mentioned the play to us
previous to Its accidental discovery, nor
did We practice it in the SOUTH

MICHIGAN EXPECTS EASY VICTORY.


=, Ann Arhor. Mich, Nov. s.-Every one expects
the wolverines to win by a comfortable score, in
view OF the comparatively poor showing Of the
hawkeyes against Minnesota.
However, the reports from Iowa City this
week indicate that Dr. Knipes men are getting
together in better shape than before, and Coach
iost warns the rooters not to expect too much
from the team. DR.. Knipe is basipe his hone
of a good showing against Michigan on i'm
proved ofense. The offense Is receiving his
entire attention this week and Improvement Is
visible in the work of the men, especially the
backs. according to report. He believes Notre
Danes low score against Michigan to have been
due to the advantage of an offense that gave
the wolverines considerable bother, and he. there
fore, Is developing this feature to the greatest
possible extent. The guards were out for the
runners in a new play of DR.. Knipe's. and Cap
tain Hollenbeck was in that position for the
outside Of Ann Arbor yesterday afternoon, where
they arrived yesterday.
The Michigan practice yesterday afternoon con
sisted mainly Of signal work. New formations
are being perfected by Yost for the Chicago
game. and after the team run through then

GRIZZLY MORE TIMID
Once He Attacked Men, but Now He
Shuns Conflict.

Grizzly Bear Lore in November Outing
There are numerous reliable statements
of grizzly bears having attacked men, but
nowadays the grizzly does not geek out
his human victims, as there are creditable
statements that his forefathers used to
do. Neither does he lie in wait, and,
bouncing upon hunter, tear him into
bloody shreds in delighted fendishness, as
the old-time stories used to tell.
The change in the grizzly's disposition
is likened by veteran hunters to the
change in the character of the white
cousin Of the grizzly, the polar bear of the
Arctics. Whe nthe stations for the
Hudson Bay company were established,
the diaries Of the men there often referred
to the fright Of attacks by polar bears
Many a navigator in the Arctic seas has
been clawed and chewed to death by
polar bears. But for nearly a century
the polar bear has not been regarded as
SO very fierce, and nowadays it Is looked
upon as a cowardly beast. Association
with armed men has modified the polar
bears disposition.

He had been on the Winnibigas1ish res
