Material Is Good.
Minnesota has a weslth Of material on hand
FOR next year. no matter how this seasons

men almost good enough to step into the first
team, and If they keep up their work until the
close Of the year they will be strong in the
lead for the team Of next year. There Is no
doubt but that some Of the present second team

in making the first team next year.
ALL of the eastern football world has eyes
upon Carlisle this fall, and the team is making

Further than this, Minnesota followers of foot
ball will smile when they learn that another
Minnesota player has been at Carlisle for about

This is no less bulky parsonage than one
Svell-known Punk" alias George Webster.
Webster slipped away from Minneapolis about
two weeks ago. announcing that he was going
down east to visit relatives" He did call upon
"a Philadelphia second cousin-for fifteen minutes
before boarding a train for Carlisle-and there

Nothing is known locally of Carlisle's strength
and how well they can adapt themselves to Min
nesota football. If the team shows an adapta-
bility to take it up and are strong and heavy
enough to execute, 1t will give some faint idea
of how Minnesota of last year would have
stacked up against Harvard. The Indians can
not Elay anything but Minnesota football with
RogeH coaching and Webster assisting. Both
these lads took Minnesota football their stand

last fall. Naturally there is a general desire
about the football campus to see Rogers men

has been rounding into shape in good form.
