with E. W. Farr as alternate. compose the
Minneapolis bowling team which will seek
to win honors at Buffalo.
The closing games Of the trial tourna-
ment were played yesterday at the CO.
operative alleys. The scores were excep-
tionally large, six men averaging over
200. Wooley, who leads the bunch in
grand average was sixth man yesterday.
The highest score Of the tournament and
the highest average for any four tourna1-
ment games ever played In the twin
cities were made. Oscar Aalbu made 200,
the high individual score of the tourna-
ment, and Con Sandblom averaged 227A,
breaking all twin city records for match
games. This lifted Con from eighth to
fourth place. and gave him a place on
the team. In addition Sandblom IN his
first three games averaged 231 2-3, way
above all previous records for three
game average.
The averages Of the team members are
unusually large, and the men feel more
sansuine now about their showing at In
dianapolis than over before. It was pre-
dicted by the wise ones some time ago
that nothing less than an average OF lSo
would make the team but the record OF

YOsT IS READY TO LEAVE.
Hurry-up Coach Wants to Quit
Michigan Without Leaving
Ill-Feelings Behind.

Coach F. H. Yost, over a quiet Sunday
afternoon lunch at Ann Arbor yesterday,
inti,nated that he would not coach Michi-
gan next fall.
when will you decide about leaving
Michigan?' he was asked.
'I don't have to decide at ALL he said.
II am waiting for the university author
tiles to decide that. There Is a differ
ence Of opinion between them and myself
about my contract and I am waiting for
them to say that my interpreta ton Of the
contract is right. Their construction
would prohibit my coaching elsewhere
when / leave here. want them to say
that I may go. The matter will be set
tied, think. Monday afternoon
Seen later: ''Mr. Yost's contract is
perfectly plain. 1t binds him to coach at
Michigan for three years or not to coach
at ALL"
Yost's statements are taken to mean
that he wants the chance to get away
from Michigan without leaving ill-feeling
behind. He admitted receiving several
offers from both eastern and western col
leges.
chance to so east?" he was asked.
mo, SIR replied Yost. II have had
other eastern Offers Dc.
Yost stated that several western offers
besides the reported $4,000 proposition
from Missouri university had been made
him.
But have never" he added, asked
Michigan for a cent more salary"
The sentiment in Madison among the
students and townspeople on the coach
question for the football team is strongly
in favor Of tho election Of Arthur Curtis
as head coach, with an assistant coach to
handle the mon in the back field. It is
certain that Phil King will not come back
as coach at the advanced salary which
he has asked, and it is even doubtful
now If he would be asked to come back
at his old salary, as the sentiment in
favor of a graduate coach Is quite strong.
A great deal of confidence Is felt in the
ability Of Curtis, since his successful sea-
son at Kansas. There are number Of
the members Of the athletic board who
favor the election Of Charles Mccarthy,
the old Brown fullback, as an assistant
to Curtis. Mccarthy has had considerable
experience and has assisted in coaching
the Wisconsin team during the last few
years. He understands the system that
has been in use at Wisconsin and also
understands all the systems generally
used in the west.
Secretary Halsey Of the Naval Academy
Athletic association. says there is no truth
in the report that F. Fl. Yost of the Uni
versity Of Michigan has been selected to
coach next years navy football team.

G0PHERS WIN ALL THREE
Minnesota Basketball Team Makes
Clean Sweep Among the "a.
Fargo Quintets. " -

The invincible Minnesota University
basketball team fully held up it's reputa-
ton during its short stay in Fargo. Three
OF the strong Fargo teams went down to
defeat before the gophers, and although
the news came as a dash Of cold water to
the hopes Of the local teams, yet it was
nothing more than had been anticipated
and foretold by knowing ones In the
game.
OF the three teams who tried their skill
with the Minnesota boys, but one ct them
made any kind of a showing, and that
showing was such that there could be no
doubt as to the superiority Of the Min
nesota team. This was the agricultural
college. which was defeated by score
of 81 to 10. ,,.
The high school team put up a ganey
fight, but they were no match either in
strength or skill for the visitors, and
they were beaten by score Of Al to 20.
Fargo college was expected to make the
best showing, but for some reason they
we're not in form, the team work espec-
tally being very bad They were defeated
by a score of 81 to II.
The credit for. the little success that
the Agricultural team met with in the
game is given to Eddie Cochems, the
coach Of the team, as for weeks he has
been working and training the boys for
the coming games.
The Grinnell college basketball team
experienced It's third successive defeat
Saturday evening, losing to the state agri
cultural college by a score Of Is to 7.
Better team work won for the farm
school,. The Iowa boys played fast
game and the contest was exciting
throughout. The Gr1nnell men, however,
were too eager to mix in the scrimn1ages
and frequently left their basket unpro-
tected The farm school guards carried
off the honors Of the evening, getting
many opportunities to distinguish them
selves as a result of the peculiar style Of
the Iowa teams play. -.
