Cornack, coupled with the weight of
his men, would seem to indicate a fight
of frst-class proportions tomorrow-one
of the best Of the year. It would ap-
pear today that Minnesota will be
forced to "get up and go'' to win to-
morrow. .--
Northwestern played poorly in the
early part Of the season, but reports for
tho last month have indicated that
Mccormack was getting fight into his
