Tomorrow IS mething of an Off day In wes-
tern football. None of the big teams have hard
games scheduled with the exception OF Nebraska.
The cornhuskers play against Colorado, at Lin
coin and the team which last year took the
measure of the prairie pigskin artists is going
to lincoln with the idea OF repeating. They
are coached this year by ~Kle1nholz, the former
Minnesota player, and much local interest cen
ters in this game 1t will give the real line
what the gophers may expect from Booths
men in their next big game. Nebraska has had
ample time to brace up since their disastrous trip
to Ann Arbour.
The Nebraskans say the reason for their defeat
:, at the hands of Michigan was lack of condition
That during the first half they held Michigan
away from their goal and kept Yost's men
on the jump to keep them from scoring. IN the
one points. The play would Indicate that there
something In this talk.
Booth has plenty Of time to speed up his men
and put them in shape and there is no doubt
but that the game of next Saturday will be
fully as spirited and faster than the Wisconsin
game The gophers preparing and looking
forward to fully as hard a game with Nebraska
as that with Kings men.
-. Michigan's Light Game.
Michigan is due to play Ohio state and the
buckeye team being much inferior to Yost's
machine will not give any real line on Michigan
for the Wisconsin struggle. Chicago Is to play
Purdue and this should be little less than
froltc for Stages players. Indiana and North
western look about equal from this distance,
3lthO the methOd1StS should nave the euBe OIL tue
boosters. Wisconsin plays Beloit, and the badg-
viii have little to do to put their lighter
opponents out of the running.
In the east Yale is to play Brown, with the
Providence team having little chance of scoring
West Point and Carlisle will furnish rafting
exhibition and while the future brigadier gen.
erals are the favorites, Woodruff's braves may
spring q surprise. Pennsylvania plays Harvard
at Philadelphia and President Eliots men are
liable to get man-handling, especially If Ste
phenson gets belligerent again. Princeton and
Cornell get together at Princeton, with the
tigers having the best of it In advance.
Rooters at scrinmage.
Open practice on Northrop field attracted about
900 students to the big south stand last night.
All of the varsity team players were out and,
after signal practice, lined up against the col
lege team. The collegians were full Of fight
and gave the varsity a warm workout while
the students cheered on the contestants, giving
the ski-u-mah yell with great VigOr. More than
100 co-eds in the stand and, flushed with
their success at out-yelling the varsity men Sat
urday, the girls made more noise than ever.
There q strong feeling Of must lick Ne
braska'' manifest, and the roofing at tomorrow 8
game against South Dakota will be strong.
South Dakota Tomorrow.
The jackrabbits are expected tonight. but no
lineup has been sent in advance. The team has
been playing strong game in its class and the
contest will be well worth watching This af-
ternoon the freshmen are struggling with the
North high players.
The ticket sale for the Nebraska game opened
this morning and there brisk demand for
tickets. The Indications point to a larger
crowd than witnessed the game last year. Ne
braska will bring the cornhusker band and fully
500 rooters will accompany the team to Mime
apo1is. The Nebraskans are fierce rooters when
they are out in force 1t looks tho Nov. Is
is going to be another big football day in
Minneapolis
Reports from Wisconsin show that the badgers
did not come thru the game in such fine shape
as had been thought. Roseth has been out of
the ~scrimmage for several days, but got back
for while yesterday. Other members of the
squad were severely bruised by the play. but
so bad but that they will be in shape
for the Michigan game
