"Go1NG TO WHIP MINNESOTA,
Coach Yost Says Michigan Will Do
the Trick-Bettors Are Wary.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Oct. 2s.-The
Drake game has had one effect on the
side issues for the Minnesota game, and
that is an inclination upon the part of
Michigan betters to becomes little chilly
and there will not be that expected
bunch of money sent up to Minneapolis
to back the team.
Michigan rooters have not that over
confidence as to the outcome that has
characterized the scenes before every
other critical contest during the past
two years. But with all that Yost still
keeps a cheerful smile and says:
Certainly we are going to lick Min
nesota. We have got to do it. We
started out to do the trick, and that's
all there is to it,
The main question which is being de-
bated is whether James of Norcross
will be at quarter in the Minnesota
game. 1t has been a hot race between
the two, and Yost has told each not to
mind outside criticism. Satisfy me"
he told them. But the fact remains
that vote of the dope followers would
show NorcroSs would win by a big ma
jority. Yet everybody here Is willing
to agree that Yost's judgment is better
than that of any other man in the west.
One feature developed by the game is
that Maddox is going to be played
for nearly the whole thing against
Minnesota. He is being worked as a
tackle and as a back on offense after
the twenty-fiveyard line is reached.
He and Grayer occasionally are changed
between the wenty-five-yard lines.
and the big tackle goes to half. Be
sides this he is to do all the punting.
In other words, Maddox must play
three positions, and there is confidence
in his versatility.
AS a result of Saturdays games
Michigan will have the distinction for
at least week of being the only mem
Der of the big nine that has an I'M
crossed goal line this year.

.. Going Over.

After. travelling here and there thru,
Europe for four months without more
than a passing glance from customs
officers, b. Bank, jewelert at 321 Wash-
ington avenue S, had the time Of his
life with Uncle Sans sleuths on his
return thru New York last week. Mr..
Bank was not. expecting trouble, but
he did expect to be seasick all the way
over and so he employed an hour or
two before sailing in making up a, list
in which he declared everything he
was bringing back, even down to g.
rubber ball that cost sixpence:
At New York the customs officers
shifted at this elaborate declaration.
=. We'll have to. search you," they
said.
Bank did not demur and four in
spectors took him into a stateroom
where his baggage and every stitch Of
clothing he had on were examined
microscopically. Not finding any
thing, the searchers finally made a
careful examination of his hair,
looked into his ears and nose and then
after a careful scrutiny between his
toes were forced to admit that his
declaration was correct. $50
Thruout the examination Mr.. Bank
was so good natured that the inspec-
tors felt called upon to explain. In a
typewriter letter from Minneapolis,
they said, they had been warned to
keep a. keen lookout. for him as he
would attempt,to smuggle in big

of this letter was not revealed, but he

country for twenty six years, and long
residence In the United States had
expanded his vision. Things around
Koenigsberg, his old home, looked
smaller than they used to. Even the
people he used to know there had
shrunk. In Vienna he saw women
harnessed with dogs and doing the
work Of a horse. Also the hod car

In Paris the traveller frequented
out -of-the-way restaurants where
English was unknown. His first meal
at such a place was "biftels'' beer and

them under their French names. Later
he was obliged to draw picture Of
a chicken which a, bright waitress
identified as as"poulet,'' and after that
he used the scheme Of .meand dering
around among the diners Indicating
various viands in front Of each that
he wished to order. In Paris also, Mr..
Bank found strong evidences Of Amer

buy bay rum and asked for the best

be imported from America. At a
