Williams, but still believe the game
should be played at Ann Arbor. I looked
over Detroit field yesterday and Wouldn't
like to see a friend Of mine on those
stands. They are positively unsafe for a
football crowd ...-
THE limit is 5000 seating capacity on
the grounds. while Ann Arbor field can
seat $4,000. Being the biggest game of the
year, there Is no doubt that we can get all
the crowd at either place we can accom-
modate, and Ann Arbor's superior accom-
modations decided me. IT,.
Detroit is no more neutral than Ann
Arbor. Besides Michigan. under the con-
tract has the right to say whether the
game will be played at Ann Arbor or De-
troit. next seasons game going to Mime
apolis.''
Manager Baird of Michigan also made
a positive statement. He said last night:
The game will certainly be played in
Ann Arbor. Manager Luby of Minnesota
and I have agreed to it and the university
board OF control unanimously sanctioned
the change on the basis that the bleachers
in Detroit are unsafe and the grounds are
not adequate to accommodate over 5000
anyway you might pack them in. We
can accommodate over $4,000 on Ferry
field and the stands and bleachers are
safe. It's getting too late now to make
any more changes and have proceeded to
let the contracts for building grand
stands
Minnesota vitality Interested.
From Minnesotas standpoint, there are
number Of reasons against playing In
Ann Arbor. The principal ones are the
advantage to Michigan in playing on her
own gridiron, and the financial argument.
The first reason Is self-evident. for the
home team is admitted to have an advan
tage in any branch Of athletics.
With regard to the second reason, 1t is
generally admitted that the Thanksgiving
Day game will not draw big crowd to
small town. Thanksgiving Day is recog-
nized as day for family reunions, a day
when every one wishes to eat soul-sat
isfying dinner at home. With regard to
the rooters from Minnesota. or from any
points outside Detroit, this argument
would have less weight Detroiters, how
ever, would be much more likely to at
tend game in their own city than to
take the trip to Ann Arbor. which would
occupy practically an entire day. More
over. all the restaurants with saloon at
tachments in Ann Arbor are closed by
state law on holidays and this adds
weight to the contention that the restau-
rants In that city could not handle the
crowds. Minnesota rooters, remembering
their experience in getting meals at Madi-
son on the day of the Wisconsin, Minne-
sofa game last year, will recognize the
truth of this statement.

Unfortunate.

The Presidents Last Day at smedes Was
Unfortunate.
smedes, Miss, Nov 1e.-The president 8
bear hunt in Mississippi has ended, and
he did not even have shot at bear .
The dogs got a fresh trail early in the
morning, and the president and Holt Coll
1ier followed it to the Big Sunf1ower river.
The bear CROSSED a mile below the ford
they went to, and, the hunters believing
that the bear was making for the cane
brake on the other side started to head
1t off. When they got into the brake,
however, they were Disguised to find the
bear had doubled on his track and crossed
the river still further down. 1t was then
o'clock, and as arrangements had been
| made to break camp at 2:30 the president
was reluctantly compelled to abandon
further pursuit.
While the president was out after bear
Major Hall, DR.. Lung and Secretary Cor.
| telyou had a more successful deer drive
on this side Of the Great Sunf1ower river
They jumped up buck and doe. Major
Hall killed the later from his horse at
about forty yards.
Although the president has failed to kill
bear on this expedition, he has enjoyed
his outing and speaks in high praise OF
the hospitality offered him.
At $3.50 the special train started for
Memphis having added the record of q
presidential bear hunt to the, fame OF
Smedes, which first became known to the
outside world through the story that here
the experiment Of teaching monkeys to
| pick cotton was to be tried.
