The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-10-13

For the first time this week the pub
lie were given a chance to watch the
Gophers practice yesterday afternoon.
Those who saw the men at work were
very much pleased and it begins to
look as if the varsity's slump is about
over. The scrimmage work was hard
and fast. The line managed to shake
off some of that liStlesSneSS, and went
into the plays comparatively hard.
Case and Hunter were on the side
lines still laid up for repairs. Hunter
has been making good his vacation by
increasing his punting ability. O'Brien
disappointed the spectators by not be-
ing out with his suit on. Larkin was
in at quarter of the first team, which
he ran only indifferently, and showed
that he has a lot to learn about the
game yet.
A feature of the practice was the
manner in which the men on the sec
Ond team went in against the varsity.
Kicker and VarcO, who were playing
under Dobie, worked with a vengeance,
and others of the second played against
the varsity in way that showed the
critics that the lineup Of the team was
still in doubt
DR. Williams seems to be undecided
what to do about Kicker. After having
him in as center last Saturday he has
second team. The three places to the
left Of Nose Strathern are still in need
of an occupant. Luce is the only man
who is making good in that region, his
work at end this week has shown
much improvement. The right side of
the line is a fixture now and no one is
worrying about it.
a new football star has joined the
varsity. He is Ralph Layne, who play
ed on the Minneapolis East side in
'9S and 80. Then he played fullback
on the champion Chicago Hyde Park
team of 1900.
