READY FOR low ANS
Minnesota Has but One More Day s
Practice Before Meeting Hawk
eye Eleven.
More Than 1000 Persons Will Come
From Iowa to See the
30 Contest.

The Minnesota football eleven is
now practically ready for the game
with Iowa Saturday. But one more
day remains for practice before the
and to-mOrroW's work, in all probab bill
ity, will be light, as customary on the
last day before an important contest.
Secret practice was again the rule
yesterday. The rooters are still in the
dark in regard to the man who will
be selected to fill Schacht's place in
the line. Schacht said yesterday that
if 1t was the last game he ever played
in his life. DR.. Williams, however,
says that Schacht will not be allowed
to play again until he is in good condi-
ton. At present there is good ground
for hope that the giant tackle will be
in the lineup Oct. 81.
Manager Barnard announces that
Saturdays game will begin at $3.50
p. m. The prices for the game are
81 for general admission, $3.50 for re-
served seats and 50 for seats in the
boxes in front of the reserved seat
Voegelrs drug store, the School Edu-
cation company on the East Side and
Tibbetts' cigar store in ST. Paul.
In preparation for the big games,
the seats In the reserved section
of the grand stand on the south side
Va lIlS lASlu nave Ueeu boarded up SO
that the rooters will not have any
wind upon their backs. This provision
will add materially to the comfort of
the spectators In this section.
Little Betting on Game.
Up to date there has been practical
~ no betting upon Saturdays contest
The students and the rooters generally
are strong for Minnesota and willing
to offer liberal odds, but no Iowa
money can be found. There has been
some betting upon the size Of the
score. Estimates Of Minnesota's total
run all the way from three to ten
touchdowns. Assuming that Iowa is.
as has been reported, stronger than
Ames. and stronger than last year,
Minnesota is hardly likely to go over
thirty especially with Schacht out of
the game.
The bullish reports from Iowa this
week DO not scare the Minnesota root
,ers bit. There is no doubt that q,
large part OF 1owa's confidence is real,
and not assumed, for the hawkeye ex-
cursion trains to Minneapolis Satur-
1000 persons. 1t is unlikely that so
many would take the trip if they did
mot think their team had a good
chance to win. Two special trains
Will come from the hawkeye strong
hold, one from Iowa City and one from
lSSuti TtdpluS. manager Spanplar

tickets. ~
At a mass meeting Of 1900 students
at Iowa City last night, President G. r.
MaoLean, Coach Chalmers, Assistant
Coach Clyde Williams and Manager
Spangler told the students that Iowa
would defeat the gophers. Clyde viii
ltams said:
We're going to beat Minnesota
saturday. We've got to do it and r
.inoW we are going to do it, We have
the men and I don't wonder that a lot
or rooters are going along to see us
play, as a chance to see Iowa defeat
Minnesota has not been so plenty as
to pail on Iowans yet.
Il told Manager Spangler when I
contracted with him to assist Profess
sor Chalmers" continued Williams,
that l might not feel like going to
minneapolis to see the game with
Minnesota and Spangler said he
would leave that with me. I have
decided now to CO."
Williams alluded to a matter that
is we'll understood among Iowa stu
dents, his VOW taken on Northrop
field two years ago during the game
from which he was excluded by the
Iowa board of athletic control, fol-
lowing Minnesota's protest that he
would never again come to Northrop
field with an Iowa team until Iowa
