Tomorrow afternoon at p. m the
Minnesota and Beoit football teams will
meet on Northrop field in the third game
between teams representing the two in
situations.
The first game between the two institu-
lions took place in 1894. Beloit was then in
about the same class with Ames and Grin
nell in football. The score was Minnesota
49, Beloit O. Three years ago the two
tervening, however, Beloit had gained con-
siderable prominence in the athletic world,
and ranked about fifth among western
elevens. Minnesota on the other hand
had lost her prestige and was accustomed
to taking walloping from any old Sec
ond-rate team that came along. Although
Beloit played a. better offensive game.
neither side was able to score on straight
football, and a couple of accidents gave
each side touchdown, the final score
standing to 5.
In the last three years Minnesota has re-
gained her old standing, while Beloit has
not been able to turn out such strong
teams as she produced in 1898 and 1899.
This year Beloit is currently believed to
have a weaker team than last year, on ac-
count Of the loss of tho Merrills, who for
several seasons were the backbone of the
little Badger eleven. Minnesota Is gen
orally conceded a victory by a score of
fair proportion
The Beloit team has been working hard
however, and will come to Minneap polls
with the intention Of giving the gophers a
hard rub. Reports from BelOlt state that
Coach HOLSTER is satisfied with the work
Of his team, and considers it fast In every
way. It may be that the local eleven Will
be treated to surprise.
Dr. Williams has been working his men
hard in secret practice during the week,
but 1t Is generally supposed that he Will
not show his hand in to-morrow's game,
reserving any surprises he may nave LOT
the Nebraska game next week.
The gopher squad is in fair condition.
Harris injured thumb still bothers him a
little and he has been given comparative
" easy work for fear of further hurt.
O'Brien's bad knee bothers him little
now, and he may be seen in the line up
tomorrow.
The new bleachers at Northrop field
are now practically completed and the
field has seating capacity Of about s,0oo'
ReloIt Feels Confident.
The Beloit College football team took
its last hard practice last night In prepa-
ration for the game to be played with the
gophers Saturday afternoon and Coach
HOLSTER is we'll pleased with the showing
made. Though the team Is light in weight
It is the fastest that has represented the
little badger college In years, and the
Beloit enthusiasts are banking on the
Minnesota boys being surprised The
team left for Minneapolis at 11:17 this
morning, thus getting a good nights rest
before the first hard game of the season.
"a With few exceptions the members OF
the Beloit team are well tried men. Cap
tain Carroll w. Smith is a senior and "a
years Of age. He weighs 1874 and has
been a. member of the varsity for four
years. He plays fullback this year and
his punting is almost equal to that done
by Merrill. Last year he played center
and tackle.
Allen Merrill, who plays quarterback, is
senior and this is his second year on
the team. He played right end last year
and gained a reputation for getting down
the field and tackling. He is p years OF
age and weighs 1876 pounds. On him will
devolve much of the responsibility of the
selection of the plays, he will give the
signals. He Is a good field general
Henry McRae Is senior and this is his
third year on the team. He has played at
end and last year at right halfback, a po-
sition he will play this year. His age is
% and his weight 157. He is a good
dodger with plenty of endurance and
speed. He especially distinguished hin
self in the Northwestern and Chicago
games last year.
Don Slater is % years Of age and weighs
