After that he may do as he pleases.
If the fancy strikes him. he can go to
the Courts and ask that punishment
be meted out TO the sractlouS, that
chastisemeut be administered for the
ingratitude of all the portorican
people, represented by all their
MUNICIPALITIES, who do not ap-
preciate nor take kindly to- the sublime
goodness and lofty disinterestedness
Of an ineffable regimen which has
converted this island into blissful
Arcadia.
Should the dennnciation of Mr.. Post
or the Attorney General be carried to
the Courts, it would be necessary for
the representative of the congre cation
to demonstrate and prove that collec-
tivities do not possess the same rights
as individuals, thar if the former
has the right of self defence, so also
has the latter. and whether those
rights shall be condemned to perish
without remedy.
But it is not in the Courts that the
ingratitude of which our tutors COM
plain can be properly judged. This
matter can only be left to the deci-
sion of the tribunal Of opinion and Of
History.
Those tribunals may say whether
it would be right for the municipal
tiles TO unite, when in the island all
the institutions, al the organizations
for defence have failed; when the So
called temple Of popular sovereignty
has been sacriligiousiy profaned by an
iliegitimate power; When the budget
has been converted into a means Of ent-
ertaining friends; when hunger, emf
ora ton, immortality and the most rul
nous passions have been stimulated,
bringing chaos to the colony and trans
forming the island into an inferno:
when all this confusion and chaotic
condition is owing to the primitive
stupidity and wothleSSness of regime
barren in benefits and most fecund
in evils, and the representatives of
this regimen, are those that have essa-
we'd to fill the roles of tutors and red
emptionists, with COntum clOuSnesS
which has produced consternation; af
ter hearing all these things and many
more, the tribunals referred to above
may say whether it is right to form a
League of defence, or whether the Co
lony should resign itself to be tine
inevita BILE victim of tbs monstrous
Vaccinations of hostile forces.
What the Oracle has said will not
answer. 1t will not even serve as
pretext for Mr.. Posts refusal to regis
fer the League of MunicipalirieS.
1t will Only suffice TO make evident
the opposition of the government and
the disfavor with which it views the
League of municipalities and the
lengths it is prepared TO go in order to
make it a failure; and though this
may not have been said by any of the
members of the cation, it has
been in the mind Of the public, which
looked for and counted in advance on
he selfish opposition and contumacy
of The occupants OF power.

Northwestern failed to come up to ex

game Of the year on Northrop field
went down to defeat before the gophers

. did not start off with the same rush
which characterized the play in the
game Of week ago, but it got to going
faster as the contest progressed. At
times there were evidences Of some
crudeness, but only occasionally. Even
then the Evanston players were not
strong enough to take advantage Of it.
The crudeness was not thru any lack Of
knowledge of what to do or where to
go, but thru an anxiety to hurry up the
play.
Northwestern was in wretched physi-
cal condition. The players were willing
enough, but they could not stand the
pace. They consumed most of the after
noon, compelling the shortening of the
last half by ten minutes, by taking out
time and more than the time allowed.
Some Of this was needed and whenever
extra time was required Captain Cur
rent gave his consent that the men
down should have all Of the time needed
to get back into the play. There were
times, however, when it looked as tho

the other hand, were ft-keyed right

training and work of the fall they did
not show the slightest trace of staleness
nor overtraining. They were up and
ready for play at every minute.

q, The play thruout was clean on both
sides. There was no smuggling Of any
kind on either side. The officials were
prompt in their rulings and their work
gave general satisfaction. Those who
attended the game were more than
pleased with the final showing of the
gophers. Everyone of the rooters
crawled out of the stands and joined
the players in wild dance around the
bonfire in the center Of the field, after
which Captain Current was carried into
the training quarters on the backs Of a
company Of enthusiastic rooters. At
this time the game, the day and the
season had ended.
The teams lined up as follows:

the visitors line was not holding so
well on the right and started assailing
that wing with better success.
When Minnesota was on the defen-
sive the forwards were compelled to
withstand an attack more notable for
it's speed than it's power. The ends
were compelled to look out for trick
plays at all times. Captain Rueber got
away for his touchdown within a few
yards Of where Findlay made his escape
in the Wisconsin game and to make
his run came thru the same hole be-
tween Brush and Burgan. Burgan got
to him to hold him for second, but

was it was a foot-race down the side

kicking the goal. The gains on the
Minnesota line were not of a startling
nature, but sufficient to show that the
men had had. the advantage Of good
coaching.
Glimpses of Their Game.
There were occasional flashes of bril-
liant football by Northwestern, but the
men from Chicago were so hopelessly
outclassed and so much on the defen-
sive that they did not have great op-
portunity to show up their quality. The
star work by the visitors was that of
Rueber and Turner. Quarterback John.

First Half.-Northwestern appeared the
field at 1:20, followed few minutes later by

had to make anything Of a showing. On

better than that of the Nebraska game.
He got away several times on quarter
back tries and did more in running back
punts than heretofore. He ran his team
with good judgment and at high speed.
Joe Shucknecht played stiff game at
the right half. his gains being mostly
short but he appeared dependable when
ever needed. Current played another
star game. He carried the ball himself
and while the Northwestern offense did
not call for such heavy plugging as some
seen on Northrop field this year Current
was at the assailed spot with all of his
usual speed. Weitzel replaced Larkin
toward the end and showed good form.
Big Dan Smith replaced Vita and Daniel
was terror to the Methodists. He tore
thru in great shape and made sall sorts
of ground on his line bucks. Stafford re-
placed Bandelin near the close Of the
play and despite his hand being in a
plaster cast the big center who had the
bad luck just before the Wisconsin game
acquitted himself creditably. ~.

year ago, but Gelbreath was trouble
some at times with his line plunges.
Minnesota s team performed we'll
thruout. The only point subject to
criticism Of any severity whatever was
the permitting of Rueber to get away
on the right wing. Burgan and Brush
more than made up for this slip thru
the vigor of their play both on offense
and defense.
Brush Star. ..
Brush seemed to be the star ground
gamer of the day. He was up on his
toes all Of the time and went thru the
line with momentum that left chaos
in his wake. Ittner was not used 50
much yesterday on account of badly
lamed shoulder, and Brush was called
to take the bulk Of the ball carrying
on the "tackle back' formations. His
failure to make good gains were few
and far between.
Burgan played the best game he has
shown this year, winding up his four
years of football with some spectacular
efforts in tackling and ball-carrying.
| Marshall played another great game,
duOCut1 Ill tut GlC1c VI dill w 0SG-
ern end, which must be given him by
all fair-minded critics. He was every
where and playing like a demon despite
his injury.
"Jim' Kremer came into his own
and was one Of the gopher stars. He
developed a spirit yesterday which has
not marked his play in any previous
game. He went in with more sureness
of foot and got thru the holes made for
him cleaner than he has before. He
was Minnesota $ greatest ground
gamer. His defensive playing was
equally good Kremer played high
grade football every minute of the
time. Ittner was as sure as a pile
driver what few times he was called
back for line assaults. He, too, played
very strong game on the defensive.
Vita got in the ball-carrying several
times for good gains and played a
steady guard on the defensive. Bande-
Inns work at center was above criti-
cism, his passing being sure at all times.
Oech's line-ripping vigor let several
fine gains 60 thru his position and he,
too, got into the ball-advancing part
of the game.

KILLED IN A PECULIAR WAY
Earl Erland, of Chicago, Meets Death
at Boston Bay.

Earl Erland of Chicago was acci-
dentally killed at New Boston last Sat
Urday by falling against the fly wheel
of a gasoline engine in a launch. He
had just arrived in New Boston and
was on his way to join a party at the
club house of the Bay Island Hunting
and Fishing club of which he was a
member
On his arrival in New Boston he Sc
cured Lee Melcher To take him up in
the bay to the club house. Only the
two were in the launch. Erland was
sitting on a camp stool near the en-
gine and had been cautioned by Mel
cher that it was dangerous to sit on
the stool so near the engine. But Mel
cher had his back turned just when
the accident occurred. On hearing a
noice he turned quickly and Erland
had fallen over and was lying with his
head against the wheel. The back part
of the skull was crushed and the scalp
badly lacerated.
Medical aid was summoned as soon
as they could return but nothing could
be done for him. He lived, however,
until about s o'clock in the evening.
The remains were sent to Chicago. He
was about % years old and leaves a
wife and three young children.
