GOPHERS RETURN TO
THEIR PRACTICE WORK
All of the Men Who Played In Michigan
Game Are Able to Work.

All the men who played in the Michigan
game were out for their first practice
since Saturday. Some of the men are
still limping and others move slower than
usual, but in a day or two they will be In
as good shape as ever. OBrien was
also out in uniform and is rapidly recoY-
ering. He would have been able TO go
in on Saturday if Harris had been Obliged
to retire. Burdick is still on the hospltai
list but will soon be out
Practice was open for the first time IN
several weeks, and few awaited them
selves of the opportunity to watch the
varsity men do some light signal work
and running down on punts.
A mass meeting to celebrate Saturday
game was planned. DR.. Williams and the
team were expected to appear, but they
were too modest, and the crowd listened,
instead, to a short review of the game
by President Northrop, and gave vent to
their enthusiasm by a few cheers for the
team and DR.. Williams.
The second team returned yesterday
morning from its victorious trip to Fargo.
DR.. Williams is highly pleased with the
work of the boys. as the Agricultural col
lege had not been beaten before in three
years or scored on in two.
The last college game of the season on
Northrop field will be played with Law
renee university, Wisconsin, on Satur-
day afternoon. The game will be called
at s o'clock. Phil Allen, of Chicago,
h will referee; Henry Clarke Jr. will UNI
pire, and George Belden will act as head
linesman. Admission to any part of the
field will be so cents

TEBEAU AFTER MEN
Owner of the Louisville Club
Visits St. Paul.

1.-The new president of the American
association will not be decided upon IN
til the annual meeting of the club own
ers," said George Tebeau, owner Of the
Louisville team, who was in st. Paul yes
terday for a conference with the owner
of the ST. Paul club.
There is no need of hurry in selecting
a man to succeed President Hickey" said
Mr.. Tebeau, land I have no doubt we
will be able to agree upon one without
any trouble when the proper time comes.
Our annual meeting will not be held until
after the meetings of the big leagues, SO
we have plenty of time
ut has been stated that you are can
didate for the presidency" suggested the
interviewer. .'Is there any truth in the
story?"
None whatever" replied MIR. Tebeau.
''It is all bosh; something have never
given a thought"
"How about w. w. Douglas, the sport
ing editor of the Courier Journal? It is
reported that you will support him for
the place for the reason that it would
give you a prestige in the association
II know nothing about his candidacy.
have not seen Douglas since the season
closed, although 1 have heard that he
had been mentioned as a candidate. It is
utterly impossible at this time to say
who will be chosen to succeed Mr.. Hickey,
but it is safe to say that whoever is
chosen will be selected for his ability
alone, and not because of the influence of
any one or two club owners
What was the cause of Mr. Hickey's
resignation, Mr.. Tebeau?"
Il know nothing more about that than
you do, but 1 presume he resigned for
business reasons. 1t is something do not
care to discuss
Mr.. Tebeau's quiet trip. to st. Paul yes
terday was made for the purpose of Sc
curing Germany, Schaefer for the
Colonies for next year, but he was dis
appointed in this, as Schaefer has been
traded to Indianapolis for O'Brien. Mr..
Tebeau came to- st. } Paul q prepared to
make the owner of the Saints good Of
fer for Schaefer, and was very much dis
appointed to learn that the shortstop had
already been disposed of.
Some other trades are said to have been
discussed between Tebeau and the owner
of the st. Paul team, but nothing definite
was decided upon, and Tebean returned
to his home in Indianapolis last night.
Mr.. Tebeau declined to discuss the sale
Of the Minneapolis club to w. H. Watkins,
owner of the Indianapolis team, saying he
had not been officially notified of the sale
The sale of the Minneapolis team to
Watkins was announced yesterday. the
Indianapolis magnate having purchased
the interests of E. A. Johnston in the
Millers.
Watkins will come to Minneapolis and
take charge of the team next season,
having disposed of his interest in the In
dianapolis club to his partner; Charles
Buschaupt Watkins, it ~ announced,
will strengthen the Minneapolis team, and
endeayor to make, it one, of the strongest
in the association.
Big Bill Phillips, Of the Cincinnati Ma
tional league team, has been selected as
the playing manager of the Indianapolis
club for next season.
