MINI esotat lines up tomorrow after
noon at o'clock against the Ames
football team on ,Northrop field, In
what promises to be the hardest con-
test before the MicMgan game. Il is
the almost UNIVERSAL opinion among
the varsity coaches and players that
Ames will prove g. much tougher prop
osition than Iowa. The agricultural
college has twice beaten Minnesota.
and last year held the gophers tolls
points. This year the Iowa team, with
ten veterans, is considered much
weight Minnesota has no advantage. u
Coach Ristine thinks he has
chance to win from the gophers, and
has bent all his energies to. whipping
his team into shape for this contest.
IT is not likely that Mfnnesota's score
will ruin over 20, and it Is likely to be
much lower than that. The gopher
OF Ames winning, but this appears to
be a remote contingency. f ~,
I re Art1es Ia stronger than last year,
Mirresota also Is In better shape than
when she met the Iowans. The
gopher backfeld has been kept prac-
Ideally intact for three weeks, whereas
year ago shifts were made contin-
ually during the whole season. The
line ALSO has been whipped into fair
shape and the eleven as g. whole ts
better prepared fora hard game than
is usual at:this time of the year, ~. -
The Ames team Is sdue to. arrive IN
Minneapolis at 8 ann to m orroW. and

Practice at Northrop field yester-
day afternoon was entirely secret:: The
work was OF the strenuous order, In
dtcating that the coaches do not In
tend. to take any chances on the Arnes
game tomorrow. Fudge Heffelfinger,
butch Bernhagen and Van Camper
were out assisting Or. Williams. and
the men were driven hard during the
scrinn mage. Rand, the big guard. was
out in e. suit again. ana seems to be
picking up knowledge Of the game
All the big western teams except
Michigan have games scheduled for to-
morrow which promises to prove Sc
we're try-outs. Michigan undoubtedly
will have an easy time with Beloit,
which was defeated handily by Purdue
last Saturday. The Wolverines score
OF s against Albion, only u points be-
gaining machine Of 1909. Indicates
that Yost has gotten his comparatively
green team into shape very early In
the game. The impression is growing
that Michigan will be. quite as strong
as last year. 80
Chicago probably Will have the
hardest game, meeting Purdue, which
| this year IS coached by Cults OF Har-
ward. The hoosiers. think they have a
chance to win from Chicago, and they
expect to turn the trick by end runs.
Purdue has ii fleet set Of backs, but
against the strong Chicago ends It is
not likely that they will do much. The
more conservative Of the hoosier root
ers expects a score Of - to 0 in favor
Of Chicago. :t5}S:
Wisconsin faces Lawrence univer-
sity, which would not be q hard prop
osition ordinarily, and probably will
| not be tomorrow. Last year the
cardinal ran up Sc points against this
same team, but Lawrence is popularity
ing held Chicago to 23 points, altho
the Lawrence players were in poor
| physical condition. The game will
furnish good try out for the badgers.
Illinois meets the Rush Medics team,
which, like most OF the Illinois profess
sional schools, usually has q lot Of old
varsity players on its team. Illinois
has proven good scoring team SO FAR,
but the NEEDLES probably will give
Woodruff's attack severe test In the
early part Of the game. s.;
| Iowa rooters are worried In regard
to the game with Drake. FL The hawk
