Winter sports started in full swing
at the Minikahda club yesterday after
noon. The skating rink and the new
toboggan slide were well patronized and
about forty hockey enthusiasts accunru
lated fatigue and battered shins on the
hockey rink.
The toboggan slide, which cost $500
and is one Of the finest in the country,
is proving very popular. The club mem
bers are bent upon getting the greatest
possible enjoyment out of their invest
ment, as the decision of the park board
to boulevard the lakeshore will knock
it out after this season. The slide was.
constructed to last for five or six years,
and its loss is anything but pleasing to
the club.
Next Saturday afternoon there will
be game of hockey between two
picked teams. The skating rink and
the slide will both be open, and a din
ner and dance in the evening will con-
clude the days pleasure.

|Gophers Are After Championship
Ii Western Basketball Circles

For eight years teams have represented
the maroon and gold and two trips east
have been taken blythe varsity basket
tossers. During all these years the
Gopher teams have been considered as
the best in the country, and altho few
of the western colleges have supported
teams and the games with members of
the big nine have been few, Minnesota
is everywhere recognized as one of the
most enthusiastic basket-b ball strong
holds in the country.
The teams playing in the new asso-
citation will play this year under eastern
rules, a fact that will make the games
more interesting than they have been
f in the past. The eastern rules have
done away with the technicalities which
hitherto characterized the game and
the game has been made much faster.
Practically no time is taken out DUR
ing the progress Of the play and there
is more opportunity for concerted team
work.
Gophers at Practice.
The Minnesota players are busy prac-
ticing every day at the ,armory and al
tho it is early in the season to judge
of the individual merits Of the different
candidates Minnesota will be represent
ed by strong team and should rank
we'll at the close of the season. Only
two old men, Captain McRae and
Brown, are trying for places on the
team, but many of the new men are
experienced in the game and will de-
velop into varsity form rapidly.
At the next meeting of the board Of
athletic control the Basketball enthu-
siasts will ask that, a. coach be engaged
and it is probable that Hugh LEACH
former captain of the basketball team,
will have charge Of the men. Leach
was considered one. of the fastest play
ers in the country, and under his guild
ance a fast team should be, produced.
In the schedule to be played in the
western collegiate association every
team in the league will make a trip,
visiting the five other institutions and
playing one game at each place. Such
a schedule will be satisfactory not only
! to the student rooters in the different
colleges in, the association but also to
the players who will have chance to
visit most Of the. big universities Of
the west. The schedule will also make
possible the definite chouce. of western
champions in basketball, fact that
i will please the lovers Of the game.
I : In the High Schools.
j In the Minneapolis high SCHOOLS, too,
i there are signs of basketball reviavl.

ously, plunge their heads beneath, the
surface. Pitts saw a big buck do this
several times, and, approaching nearer,
made a noise. The deer raised their
heads and saw him. i
From the horns Of the buck dangled
two objects, long and ofya yellowish
color. Catching sight, Of Pitts the deer
ran into the surrounding thieket. Pitts
curiosity caused him to go to the spot
where the animals had entered the
thicket. On the ground he. found two
yellow pickerel, one weighing seven
and the other four pounds, which were
still alive and which had q moment be-
fore been dangling on the prongs OF
the buck, caught fast while the deer
was sousing his head in the pool.

Central, North, East and South highs
will all be represented by teams, and
a regular inter-high school schedule
will be played. The East high team is
a member of the city basketball league
and it is probable that the other schools
will apply for membership in this or
ganization.. '~
The basketball rivalry between the
high schools must be confined to the
Minneapolis schools and high school
teams outside the twin cities, as bas-
ket-ball has been barred in the st. Paul
schools by action of the school board.
Altogether this winter bids fair to
be the most promising in Minneapolis

s DR.. H. L. Williams, :directo. q, ath-
letics at the University Of Minnesota
and coach Of the famous gopher foot
ball teams, offers solution OF the prob
lem of brutality in football which ap-
pears to cover the point and in no way
interfere with the play as it stands at
present.
My:remedy is simply" said DR.. Will
liams yesterday: "When player is
unnecessarily rough let the officials dis
qualify him, the disqualification carry
ing with it an award Of two points to
the side offended against. If the same
man is disqualified second time in
the same season, award the, two points
to the opponents as before and bar the
offending player from football for a
full year, dating the suspension from
participation in the game from the date
of the second off ense.
Severity Of Penalty.
This penalty would not be so severe
upon the team, but would serve to put
every individual player upon his gard.
Some of the suggestions of penalties are
too severe by far, and would defeat the
purpose for which they are suggested,
as officials would be slow to infict
them. I would also have the referee,
umpire and head linesman possess equal
power to disqualify players for brutal

find that very large majority
of the people prefer to have car
built according to their own ideas
and to suit their own special require

I have taken particular pains to
make my connections for this work
with a concern that has had am ex-
tensive experience, not only in build
ing cars, but engines Of all classes,
as well as Transnlissions, and an in

has not had years Of experience in

If you contemplate having a four
cylinder car for the 1905 season it
will well pay you to call or make an
appointment, and I will be pleased
to call and give you full particulars

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. "a
Representative Burton of Cleveland is
being talked of for the speakership in
opposition to Joe Cannon. The Ohio
mans boom is being scoffed at by
many members of the house, who claim
it has been launched for the purpose
of forcing Speaker Cannon to recognize
him in the makeup of the committees
and give him craftsmanship of ap-
preparations. Representative Burton
is one of the leaders in the house. and
while he has many admirers, there can
be no question as to the outcome in a
contest with Mr.. Cannon.
