local wise ones a chance to compare the
Michigan, Wisconsin ana Minnesota
scores.
With the Michigan game but one
week away the football fanatic will
not go to Greater Northrop field
this afternoon to see a hard fight, but
to see whether or not Minnesota can
equal or improve on the scores made
against Beloit by Michigan and Wis
consin. Beloit has had time to re-
cover from and repair all damage done
to the players in the games with the
men trained by Yost and Curtis, and
this afternoon the majority Will watch
with interest the score being piled up
against the little Badgers by DR.. VIII
liamS' men.
The game this afternoon will show
all this to the enthusiastic football fan,
but it will also give the careful follow
er of the Minnesota team a chance to
get a real line on the play of the
Gophers.
Williams may order his men to go
ahead in the endeavor to beat out the
records made against BeIoit by Michi-
gan and Wisconsin, but again Williams
may be holding back for the one game
of the year to him--the clash with
Michigan-and if Minnesota's score
should fall far below the scores made
by the other big ones against Beloit
the foolish one will Immediately dash
away in search of place to put his
money against Minnesota.
DR.. Williams, the silent man, con-
tues silent and it is impossible to an
nounce his plans for the game this aft
ernoon. The Minnesota coach may or
der his men to start after the highe ST
score possible, or he may tell them to
merely defeat Beloit
There is nothing in the game this after
q oh 70
work, TO see how far the men have i'm
proved in handling punts, in the de-
tense and in the offenSe. The GoDhers
may not try to pile up score, or again
they may try to beat out the records of
Mlchlgan and Wisconsin, but the BeIoit
game is valuable only in the fact that it
alloWs the public an opportunity to watch
the minnesota team at work.
