Coaches Are Doing.

Schedule makers at Central high got busy yes

coaching has taught the men the game; what
they now need is an opportunity to put tin
practice. When they meet the other high school
teams they VIII be gridiron yeterans.,s.f plans

high boys the morning Of the Wisconsin game
at the u The game will probably be fought
out at the North high field and school spirit
will run high, as the Duluth enthusiasts intend
to accompany their team to q man. The game
bids fair to be as spectacular as the champion
ship contests. Mechanic Arts has rounded into
shape and game has been arranged with them
for Saturday, and 1t is not unlikely that the tie
game played with Manchester last Friday will
be fought over again next week. This gives
the coaches chance to see any errors in the
play which DO DC. not come up IN practice and
every effort will be made to eliminate them.
That Central has team was demonstrated
yesterday but the coaches are in no mood to allow
the boys to acquire any oYerconfdence. When

~~>5 North High to Play Hamline.
Old Jupiter Pluvius could not stop high school
spirit, if he did wash one game off the
schedule. North Side will play at Hamline next
Friday, and the weeks delay will only serve to
sharpen the edges Of the desire Of the teams
to fight the battle out. North has been having
troubles this week. Yesterday Captain Ertle
was injured and big Jack Marks is not in the
game. Nc chances will be taken with these men
by Coach Nye, but he hopes to have them in
the game Friday well and sound. Several minor
injuries have been received during the season.
