drst-team candidates He was present every
evening and was invited up to have feed
at the training table. He made beautiful
. gain thru the roast beef and mashed potatoes
and then began to look up his shin guards and
shoes. He was falling fast. The big slip
came yesterday afternoon, when he promised to
practice today. The final fall when he
appeared the field with a torn jersey, a dirty
pair Of padded knickerbockers encasing his form
and a sweet peace in his soul. "Hunky'' is
the team. Il.
Harris Still Out
Sig Harris is still missing and has announced
to intimate friends that he would not play under
any circumstances. Henry O'Brien is said to
have announced an intention of getting into the
going later, but has not shown up to draw sup
plies. Burdick is a lost cause 50 far as Mime
sofa is concerned and Of raw material, willing
but unwieldy, must the team Of 1904 be made.
Yesterday afternoons work the gridiron
was light, but of a nature calculated to give
each man about all that he cared for Marshall
and Case were excused from practice. Marshall
was suffering from a scratched heel, injured in
Saturdays game, and 1t was not thought best
for him to take any chances until the scratch
was healed Hs will be in the work by tomor-
Case late in arriving and did not
take part in the work. Strathern was also
among the late arrivals and missed the early
signal work and field running
Round of Tackling.
Three squads were sent down the field under
punts and later the signals. After this
work was over, the first team was given
round at tacklng. This work developed that
some Of the candidates remarkably weak In
this line. They inclined to throttle the
BILE with Weistzel. The latter was inclined to
show some Of the hgh-school players a thing
or two about jumping over low divers and made
his escape time or two in this way. He
was finally tackled high in the air and thrown
with a thump that took the pride out of his
performance. at the tackling, honors went to
Hunter and Current. Tschabold out with
the first squad, and with the others listened
to curtain talk on the ethics Of getting your
man" By DR.. Williams. Brush made a pretty
tackle or two and demonstrated that when his
weight Is accurately placed something has to
give way. Dan Smith, Max Kicker, Dan Clarke
and Luce tackled with varying Bur-
gan gave one or two pretty exhibitions of down
Ing the man with the ball, but Kremer had
hard time Of 1t.
The second and third divisions were having a
little soiree Of their own at the same game and
the work was fully as vigorous After this
concluded another run Of the field signals
ended the work of the afternoon. After the
forty minutes Of strenuous scoring Of Saturday
1t was not thought best to work the candidates
too hard.
South Dakota Strong.
Seats will go on sale Thursday for TEE satur-
day game with the u of South Dakota. The
game will be called at o'clock and thirty-fve
minute halves will be played Seats will be
sale at Voegeli's and the Students bookstore in
Minnea polls and at Tlbbel's cigar store in st.
Paul. The general admission has been fixed at
85 cents with reserved sents at 80 cents and
box seats at rs cents This will be the first
game Of football ever played between the univer-
Sites and the present indica lions would seem to
call for a rather close score. The men at Yer
million have been at work for a week or two,
but majority of the men on the Dakota team
athletes who have been in more or less train
ing thruout the summer. From the preliminary
dope oil South Dakota the line would not appear
es strong as Minnesota's but they are said to
have backfeld which will bear the closest kind
of watching Most of the members of the Da-
kota team are veterans and much closer contest
than that of Saturday is expected. Surface
indications arc that the Dakotans have show
to score at least.
Fence for Gridiron.
Tho board of control held meeting last
night. The action of the crowd In swarming
out of the stand and along the side lines at Sat
urday's game discussed A result of the
discussion will be the building of a woyen-wire
fence around the gridiron. This fence Will be at
the pole Of the running track and far enough
from the side lines to remove any danger of the
players running into 1t. This will not mean the
allowing of the crowd to swarm upon the run
ning track as arrangements were made to po-
