one which confronted the coaches, in
the early games Warren, Webster,
Burdlck, Pattee, Benson, Russell, Oech
and Kicker were all given considera-
ton and trial. Thorpe. who had been
playing in the halfback position, was
not at that time considered seriously
for the line. He had been tried at
guard the two years previous and
found a failure in that position. 1t
was thought that Thorpe was the logi-
cal candidate for fullback. For this
place, therefore, Thorpe was work
ing. AS rival candidates for the posi-
ton were Earl Currant, a rather poor
substitute in 1902, and Kraemer, the
freshman, former fullback on the Wi
mona high school. I
While the fight for the guard posi-
tons was going on, Webster and War
rem were having a tough argument as
to which should secure the place of
left tackle. Warren, by virtue .of his
year Of experience in that position,
and Webster, by virtue of his fine
spirit and fighting qualities, demand
ed equal consideration. The struggle
between these men was a fine one,
and each. proved himself Of varsity
caliber; each showed that he must
be given a place on the team, and the
matter was finally settled by dropping
Warren into left guard position as a
fixture, while Webster retained the
place at left tackle. Thus was solved
the problem of the left side of the
line.
At an early date it was recognized
that Burdick possessed qualities and
strength which ought to be utilized
upon the team. In the preceding fall
he had played substitute tackle and
given great promise in that position.
But an old injury to his neck, which
was aggravated, and made worse by
the heavy defensive work required of
| tackles, seemed to make placing him
there out of the question. For a sim
| liar reason the guard position was
closed to him. For. a while Burdick
was tried Behind the line at fullback
| but good candidates for that place
were numerous, and so finally Bur
dick was placed on the end as an ex-
pertinent. Marshall had been doing
| good work here, but an injury handi-
capped him for the time, and in the
meanwhile Burdick made good.

GREAT GOPHER TEAM
OF THE YEAR 1908
Brilliant Deeds Will
Says JasonHow the Team Was Seeed-As
Tt Played to the End Of the seasonPa for the spomen
andGe
and Gentlemen

The gradual formation, growth and
development Of the present football
team at the university, which made for
itself such a brilliant record during
the season that has just passed, has
been watched with great interest by
the writer, himself an old player and
devotee Of the game.
At the outset the outlook was by;no
means rosy. From the old line Roger
Gray, at right end, and both guards,
Smith and Flynn, were missing.
Flynn, the captain, and mainstay of
the 1902 team was unhesitatingly
pronounced by all critics the best
guard in the world. Behind the line
the heavy back field, which had been
playing together for three years, made
OF knoWlton, Van Valkenburgt and La
Fans, had been wiped out. Il Truly, at
the beginning of the season, this
seemed like a mighty gap to fill.
But Rogers captain, at left end,
Warren, former left tackle; Strathern,
center; Schacht, right tackle; and
Harris, quarter, were all in their
places and formed a magnificent skele-
ton on which to construct the new
team. Beside these there were
Thorpe, Davies, Irsfeld and Boeck-
man, who had won their MS for hav-
ing played in some Of the previous
championship games, and Currant,
Webster, Burdick, Burgan, O'Brien
and Pattee, faithful members of the
old squad-familiar with the Mime
sofa style of play and whose varsity
honors still lay before them.
This aggregation of fifteen formed a
splendid band Of men in whom
the coaches saw great possibilities and
hopes for brilliant season. With the
opening of the term came the advent
Of several new and promising men.
Most promising among these were
Kreamer and Oech Of Winona, Mar
shall and Luce of the Central high
school, Smith of Caledonia and Rus
sell from a small town in Wisconsin.
There was another group of men
which helped to make up the squad
of the present season, a number of
whom have in them the making Of

l. Preliminary training was begun just
| q. week before the university opened
| the camp being located on Coney
island, an ideal spot in Clear
water lake, some ten miles
to the westward of Lake Mime
tonka. Here was laid the foundation
| for the coming seasons work; here
it was that the style of play for the
year was evolved. This was closely
adhered to and developed turnout the
| entire fall.
Made Good at Start
On the return of the squad to Min
neapolis Rogers, Strathern, Schacht,
Davies and Irsfield at once became
fixtures in their positions, but the
other places were won by each man
only after hard fight.
i The problem of properly filing THE
guard positions was the most seriou.

dispensable member Of the@ eleven.
Finally it was decided that Thorpe,
with his weight and strength, ought to
be able to fill the vacancy at right
guard, where his, past experience in
the back field would be Of the great
est value when he was drawn back in
was put to Thorpe. He was told that
Currant would be given fullback and
that unless he, Thorpe, could fill the
position of right guard he would be
obliged to drop into the substitute
ranks. Finding that it was Pixies
peak or BUST Sunny made good
and developed into one of the best
guards of the year, outplaying every
opponent against whom he played.
Lineup Settled Early.
So finally was the team selected.
All thru September the changes and
experiments mentioned above were go
ing on. Good, careful wedding and
sitting it was, too, for on Sept. 80, in
the game with Manchester college, in
which Minnesota ran up 112 points in
3S minutes Of actual play, was, the
identical lineup that was played
against Wisconsin on Thanksgiving
Day, with the single exception that
OBrien played at quarter instead OF
Harris. ! ss
The lineup Sept. 80 was as follows:
Rogers, left end; Webster, left
tackle; Warren, left guard; Strathern
center; Thorpe, right guard; GSchacht
right tackle; Burdick, right end
O'Brien, quarterback; Davies, left
half; Irsfeld, right half; Currant full
back:
These men played thru the Macal.
ester game without any substitution
and it is an interesting fact that these
same men played the same positions
thru the game with Wisconsin Nov
81, with no substitutions, except tina
Harris played quarter and not O'Brien
Thus it is seen that the team played
together in their proper positions fol

all, Smith, Burgan, Kramer and
Boeckman to take the place Of their
team mates and score on Michigan
during the last five minutes Of the
game by a bit Of the grandest football
ever seen on western gridiron.
In looking over the team which has
brought such credit and honor to Min
nesota, one cannot but remark upon
the character of the men themselves
who have composed the squad and
fought their games so valiantly. ---
The Quality of the Men.
Minnesota can be proud of as fine a
set Of gentlemen as ever played upon a
college, team. Stories of rough play
and unfair tactics which came out
after the Michigan game were SUBJ
sequently proved malicious ISLANDERS
thrown out by a disappointed rival.
In the final game of the season with
Wisconsin the clean and gentlemanly
conduct of the men upon each team
was a feature particularly noticeable;
so much so that it was a matter of
comment after the game and as a, re-
suit friendly relations were re-estab-
lished and ties reunited with our sis
ter university and dearest foes, which
newspaper articles and misunderstand-
ings had endangered.
The Minnesota team of 1903 has
been "a grand one and will long occupy
an honored place in football archives.

DO the Right Thing
Right Away

Very much that is saddening-
heartbreaking even-has been writ
ten about consumption. We shall not
add to the bulk Of this depressing lit
erature. Our purpose is to say that
the consumptive;'s hope-he is usually
hopeful to the last = rests upon a
broad and solid foundation if he does
the right thing right away.
That is-take Ozomulsion.
That Ozomulsion cures consumption
and other throat and lung diseases !;
that, being full Of nourishment, it
covers the patients bones with solid
flesh, that it destroys the death-deal-
ing germs and fills the nervous sys-
tenn with energy-all this has been
proved to the satisfaction of. severe
critics among the doctors.
But treatment ought to begin early.
Do not pooh-pooh the trouble until
that awful hour when all human skill
is unavailing.
