WHY MICHIGAN DOES
NOT PLAY MINNESOTA
Fears Old Grudges Would Crop
Out and SIugg:ng Match
Result

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Oct. 16.-AIichi-
gan is hard hit by the loss of the Co
lumbia game. It means the football sea-
son must end on Nov II, and it cuts the
football receipts nearly in two For this
latter reason. although not one move has
yet been made in that direction, a game
with one of the California teams is more
than probable OF course such a game is
contingent on Michigan winning all her
western games The Wolverines have the
cali on a far western game, since 4ost
has coached there, and because once al
ready this very trip has been made.
At present there is not the slightest
chance of a game with Minnesota. There
would not be, even if Minnesota We're
free on Thanksgiving. Manager Baird
explains the situation thus:
Had Michigan not chosen to go East
last fall Minnesota would have been quite
willing to schedule game with US. Such
a game probably would have been the
best money making investment we ever
made. Not only my department, however,
but FitZpa trick, the board of control. the
coach, and members of the team advise
against such a game at present.
Real Objection to Minnesota
The real objection to Minnesota sat
present is that Michigan has men in
college who have already played twice
against the Gophers and who have
grudges of long standing with the Min
nesota men. One Michigan authority
says:
I'VE cannot risk a game with Mime
sofa. After all, our main reason in play
ing football is fun, and there can be no
fun where men fight, as they undoubtedly
would in that game
In speed, team work, and charging
ability Michigan has shown extraordinary
Improvement this week. Two things have
caused this: The new shift in the VOL
VERNE eleven and the unusually small
number of men with whom Yost is work
ing. Fumbling has practically ceased, as
have also ragged ofSide plays. This stop
ping of offside play is one of the most
Significant developments Of the week.
Norcross Has Quarter "cinehed"
All contests for the quarterback posi-
ton at Michigan are over. Noreross is
working nearly so per cent better in this
position than he did last year, and in run
ming back punts he is rated the equal
of any man YoSt ever had.
Michlgan's defense has had no real test
yet. The effense, however. has been sure
" improved by the shifted line. Tom
Hammond, as tackle, running with the
b. II, has helped to roll up the last two
big scores, and Denny Clark who took
Hammond's right end position, has proved
almost HeStons equal in ground gaining.
In goal kicking Michigan will probably
have the handicap over every team in the
West this year. Tom Hammond has tried
twenty eight goals from touchdown and
missed only one, while in four attempts
at goals from placement Hammond has
made three perfect goals.

NATIONAL MAGNATES
FIRM IN REFUSAL
Prospect for POSTS Season Series Between
Giants and HighIanders Gloomy

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-President johnson
today gave out the correspondence be-
tween him and President Pulliam of the
National league, in regard to world s
championship series between the winners
IN the American and National leagues.
From the tone of Mr.. Pulliam's letter it is
apparent that there will be no post-season
series between the heads of the leagues.
He construes the action of the joint
schedule committee last spring as being
simply an act of individuals and not
binding on the National league as a whole.
President Johnsons letter to Pulliam,
which is dated Sept. &C. is as follows:
committees of the National and Amer
lean leagues, held in New York last
spring, resolution was passed providing
Ior a series OF games to be played this
fall between the championship clubs of the
two organizations.
Approaching the great public demand
for such a series between the leading
clubs OF the two leagues, the American
league is prepared to make Immediately
the preliminary arrangements for the
games. If agreeable to the National
league, l would suggest that the details
and the rules to govern the games for
the worlds championship be framed by
the national commission.
B. L. Johnson
Mr.. Pulliam's reply. dated Oct 4, is as
follows:
I'm answer to your query will say that
the regular championship schedule by the
constitution of the National league is left
to the discretion of the individual clubs.
No action has been taken by the National
league rullifying the constitutional right
of the club members. There is a difference
of opinion within the National league
as to the advisability of rlaying post
season games, and any expressions of
opinions by club members are therefore
their individual views.
1.-The committee appointed to confer
Ia ret VI fI,o
part of schedule was not delegated with
the authority to arrange games after the
close of the championship season. There
fore in expressing an opinion on the sub
ject OF post season games the gentlemen
comprising the committee voiced their in
S dividual preferences only, as no action
was taken by the National league as a
body. Harry c. Plllliarn.'
THE difference between the National
league and the American league seems to
be that we keep our agreements, while
the acts of the National league comm .ttee
do not seem to be binding commented

Get Big Money

CINCINNATI, Ohio. Oct 16.-No pu-
gilistic event in years has been talked as
much about locally as Terry McGovern's
victory over Eddie Hanlon IN Philadelphia
on Monday night. Judging By the accounts
of the fight sent out, Terry was there
with the punch, and his general appear
ance in the ring indicated that he was as
much of a Whirlwind as ever. 1t is now
thought that McGovern will continue fight
ing right along. and, as usual, will go
after big game.
The following telegram was received
from Manager Sam Harris yesterday:
Hartford, Conn.,, Oct H. 1904.-Terry
is still there with the goods. He is now
ready to make a match with either Young
Corbett or Jimmy Britt Any money de-
posted by the representative of either man
with you will be promptly covered.

were game and took all the money In
sight. In weight and experience both
teams were evenly matched, but when II
came to individual work the A. A. A.
boys had the best of their soldier oppo-
nents, and this, more than anything else,
was responsible for the outcome.
The Athletics were the first to score
and the touchdown was the result of a
f1uke rather than straight play. The sol
dierS braced at once and tore up the A.
ball was carried to the A. A. A. 5-yard
line, where the Soldiers were held for
downs.
Field Captain Bywater then started a
series of plays in which the line men
were given the ball in turn, and before
the army men realized it the pigskin was
carried to mid-field when time was call
ed. In the second half the ball was IN
the soldiers territory all the time, and
twice the ball was carried over the line
for scores. The first time Jones, who had
succeeded Ryberg at right guard. made a
bad tumble and a soldier secured the ball
and tried to carry it over the line, but
was downed for safety.

times made good gains for his team. HIS

did much to hold the score down.
Aside from Ames all the A. A. A. men

THE BREEDING OF CORN
Interesting Meeting Of the state Corn
Breeders Association

At the session of the corn improv-
ers' association, which met in room
207 of the experiment station building.
Lincoln, Joseph Hall of Tckamah spoke
on Nebraska's progress in corn i'm
provement. He said that Nebraska
farmers formerly paid no attention to
orr improvement and the only ques-
ton they asked about seed corn was:
Will 1t grow? Within recent years
this condition has changed until the
selection Of corn to increase the yield
has become quite generally understood.
Following Mr.. Halls address. Prof.
G.. G.. Hopkins. of the Illinois expert
ment station. gave a very interesting
talk on "rBeeding Corn to Improve Its
Yield and Composition" Professor
Hopkins showed that every corn plant
possesses an individuality the same as
an animal. hence every ear OF corn
has an individuality. He showed that
no two ears of corn were exactly alike
in composition and that by selecting
EARS with the desired qualities the CON-
position of corn can be greatly
changed. In-breeding, he said. should
be avoided in corn breeding as much
as in animal breeding. The discus
sion following this address was very
lively.
A resolution was passed asking the
board Of regents Of the university for
aid to carry on experiments with corn.
