ming team. The spirit Of never-quit is
splendid. =, F.,
Take Work Seriously. -.
A sense of duty to the squad, to the
coaches and to the school seems to pre-
vail with every man. We read at
times, in fiction, Of men making sacri-
fees for their college, but this thing is
happening in reality this year on North
that bp to- benefit 'I by the ' saeriaeeg made
by his fellaws, he must give his best in
dividual effort. 1t is a spirit which,
if persisted in, can hardly help bring
ing a successful season to Minnesota.
The writer has no word of advice for
DR.. Williams or "Gil' Dobie. Their
task Of the early fall was one which
would have disheartened almost any
other coaches in the country. They
never faltered, but started in the early
September days, when it looked as tho
without straw They have labored
heroically and their efforts are showing
on the varsity and college teams, as
they are constituted today. The team
is winning it's practice games and each
succeeding game seems to show lessen
ing of the crudeness, more Of a finish
and a firm holding to the idea of {" do
or die. - 10 attempt to advise or cOun-
sci men who have made such a showing
would be an impertinence, uncalled for
and ]udicrous.
The Outlook.
Today Minnesota s football outlook is
one which could not cause any alarm on
the part of friends of the team. The
team is developing we'll. The men are
working with full realization that
victory this year means more than ever
before. When the September history
Of the team, as outlined above, is con-
sidered no one could utter word Of
criticism should defeat come in the Wis
consin or Nebraska game. But such a
defeat is not coming to the gophers if
the men continue, as a whole, to work
with the spirit they have displayed.
There is hard work ahead before the
team comes up to its best form Of the
year, and every man will have to put
forth his best endeavor. If they do
that Minneapolis will see some Of the
best football ever played in the city.
The team that defeats Minnesota will
be in western championship class.
With such a goal in sight; the goph-
ers have every reason in the world to
play like demons all Of the time, and
the writer believes that they are going
to do it. - %4

here we had the pleasure OF TAX

We al e very glad that our Attak

piece Of work, and are satisfied
that they would cease to fret
over the two years thai will be
be necessary to complete the
work if they could just under
stand the situation. The yellow
fever has practically thrown the
work back whole year on ac-
count of the rising river in the
spring and the impossibllity Of
digging the front approach before
the time that the water rises
This, it was hoped could be done
before the rise began, but yellow
jack ran away the workmen and
knocked out the plans. Mr.
Akers has come and has seen
and Mr.. Akers realizes the mag
nitude of the undertaking. He
should 60 home and tell all about
it, and if there should still exist
airy doubt as to the work being
rushed on to completion as quick,
ly as possible, we cordially invite
our doubling Thomases to come
over and take a look into matters
for their own satisfaction. They
ought to come over anyhow
We should be exceedingly glad to
have them -Plaquemine South.
