STAKE IN GAME
Pillsbury and Blue Earth Fight
Saturday for Southern Min
nesota Title.
Special to The journal,

Special to The Journal, G#.
sOwatonna Mimi, Nov. 22.-Pillsbury academy
will play its last scheduled game of the season
here next Saturday with the famous Blue Earth
team for the championship of the southern part
of the state Neither team has been defeated
and each on its record and by comparative
scores has good claim to the state prepara-
tory school title. Blue Earth has defeated every
highs school team in this section and has also
feated every high school which it has gone
against and also has defeated the Mankato nor
mails, the deaf mutes and the state hospital
teams, all three Of which are out Of the aca-
demic class and greatly outweighed their oppo-
nents. ~ra .,,-r ~. ... '@..-.
Pillsbury defeated the fast Winonas - to
O, using straight football. st. Paul Central
defeated the same team 6 to on fuke being
all the best Of it with the st.. Paul school
Minneapolis Central was able to barely defeat
st. Paul, SO that on comparative scores P1llsbury
also has the bulge on the mill city team. Pills
bury was in poor condition when it played
Winona, and three Of her regulars were out Of
the game. ...~.
Should Pillsbury win next Saturdays game
it will concede the right of only one team il
the state to contest with her for the champion
ship title, and 1t is to be regretted that these
two asprants do not meet this year. The othel
team is North high of Minneapolis and the
Pillsburys are indignant at the report that they
were afraid to meet the high-schol team. Or
the other hand they were more than anxious tx
| do SO. <
The trouble arose over the place where til,
game was to be played. Having played the an
| nual game with North on the latter's grounds
for the past two years. Pillsbury people be
lieved that the game this year should be played
here, and such game was eagerly desired b!
all connected with the school. North could no
make arrangements to come here, SO the gam,
was not arranged. Next year the teams vii
probably meet here. -'
Bitter disappointment was shown when th
university freshmen refused to play their sched
| uled game with the locals The Pillsbury man
agement did everything Reasonable to secur
| the game, but refused to allow the rather ex
ravagant terms insisted upon by the university
Complete confidence is felt that the academ,
| team would have won, and such game woul
| have been valuable in furnishing a basis TO
comparative scores between Pillsbury and Nort
| high. s-,
With the final game only week away, tall
| already centers upon the brilliant prospects 70
! next year. OF the eleven men who have playe
thruout this season only two will leave schoc
this year. They Ted Smith, quarter, an
Lynn Porter. left tackle. Both are among tn
| best prep players in the state, but there
plenty of material from which to choose thei
| successors. The other nine men are all certai
| to return. and besides these there are at leas
three men on the second team who will max
good next fall, so that next years team will b
| powerful,

PURPLE EXPECTS
LOW SCORE HERE
Mccormack Does Not Counsel
Victory, but Is Satisfied His
Eleven Will Fight.

Chicago, Nov. 22.-McCornack is hard at work
putting the finishing touches on the purple squad
in preparation for the Minnesota game on Satur-
day. The last practice is In progress this after
noon, and the squad, accompanied by nearly 500
rooters, will leave for Minneapolis Thursday.
The team was put thru hard signal practice
yesterday. Gibreth and jenkins were drilled In
line plays, which Mccormack will use If his
open plays fail against the gophers.
While Mccormack does not expect to defeat
the gophers he believes that his team will make
credtable showing.
Assistant Coach Allen" he says, tells me
that Minnesota is much stronger and faster than
last year, but I believe my men, while they
are lighter, are much faster than the team last
year. and I think that, barring accidents, Min
nesota will win by smaller score than last
year,

Y0ST'S MEN DRILLED
TO BEAT ECKERSALI
Journal Special Service.

Ann Arbor. Mich. Nov 22.-The football
squad started to work yesterday in preparation
for the Thanksgiving game, but they had an
easy time of it and some of the regulars did
not shew up at ALL The scrubs were out in full
strength and they and the nucleus of the team
went thru the motions of punting game. Yost
showed that Eckersall is the factor on the
maroon team which he fears most by the way
he opened the practice yesterday.
I'VE will call you Eckersall," he said to
Rumney, the quarter-miler and football scrub
''You take the ball and punt just as far as
you can, you other fellows see how fast YOU
can get down the field when the ball leaves
'Eckie's boot
This sort Of thing was kept up for half an
hour, Rumney punting back and forth down the
field and the rest of the squad racing I'D and
down the gridiron in an endeavor to beat the
flying oval. Two men were designated as ends
and instructed how to get down the line in a
way calculated to spoil place kick This
program will be carried out many times and
with many variations before THANKSGIVING, for
Yost knows well where his men will meet their
greatest danger from the maroon bunch.
The Jordan article has already passed into
ancient history and ceased to be a tonic OF
student conversation. The charges are univer.
sally believed in Ann Arbor to be unfounded
and as there Is no method Of redress the stu
dents are very sensibly forgetting about the
whole thing.

BIG GAME FOR
THE FRESHMEN
Sig Harris Wards Must Go Fast
to Defeat the Meth a a..f
odists.

Sig Harris and his university freshmen are
busily at work perfecting a system of football
play that will win from the Northwestern
youngsters on Northrop field next Friday and
give the Minnesota frst-year men two victories
out of three games played with big nine teams.
From the quality of work done this week, the
team which will face Northwestern will be the
strongest Minnesota freshman aggregation of the
year, and the Junior gophers should be able to
turn the trick that will give them second place
among the freshman teams Of the west.
The lineup of the freshmen Friday will
show two changes since the Wisconsin game.
knocke, the big freshman guard, who hurt his
knee early in the season and strained it again
in the badger tussle, will not be able to play,
and Smith will be shifted from right tackle tC
right guard The tackle vacancy will be filled
by Doan, man Of great football expert
ence and good weight. The second change will
probably be made at quarterback. Atkinson, &
halfback on the second freshman team, has beer
working in the place during Moores absence
and altho Moore is back the squad, Atkinson
will probably be played at quarterback Friday
He is light but fast and sure with the ball
and he has been one of the most consistent OF
the second team ground gamers in the scrim
images with the regulars.
Methodists Are Heavy.
In the Northwestern team the gopher fresh
men will face heavy and fast aggregation
which by excellent work thruout the season ha
attracted the attention of western critics. Las
Saturday the Northwestern team defeated Culve
iiiAAitoAS oNduCuls Nu1fei, 1Hu, ny Il score o.
10 to s.. Culver is one of the big prep schools
of Indiana and its team was one of the bes
in the state.
On the Northwestern team there are two mel
who are looked upon as future stars in western
intercollegiate football. They Johnson,
, quarterback. and Hobart left half These tw,
players. with Light and RAIDER, make up
hackheld that has ctrcled the Northwestern var
sitE ends and ploughed thru the varsity for
wards in many of the scrimmages this season
and back of heavy line they will tax th
Minnesota defense to its limit
That Sig Harris has turned out good fresh
man team this year has been shown by de
velopments in freshman football. Last Saturda
| the Wisconsin team, which defeated Mfnnesot
| 10 to 5 In a game in which the two teams wer
| evenly matched, defeated the Chicago freshman
team, heralded as the crack aggregation of tn
big nine, by score of - to 0. Walter Steffens
the crack freshman quarterback, played for Chi
cago and was unable to gain ground against tn
| Wisconsin defense. BY comparative scores til
gopher freshmen must be given place ahea
! of Chicago and victory over Northwestern
would give them second rank among wester
| freshman teams.
The game will be played Friday afternoon o
| Northrop field.

PLAN TO TIGHTEN
SCREWS ON GAME
Colleges Determined There Must
Be More Stringent Manage
ment of Football.
Journal Special Service.

Philadelphia, Nov. 22.-Deeper than the public
clanor for cleaner football is an understanding
the heads of the leading colleges and universi-
ties that some united movement should he
started that will put the brakes on the game
and bring it more under the direct supervision of
the institutions of learning than at present.
Your correspondent has been informed by
gentleman who numbers among his very inti-
mate friends many of the heads of the eastern
colleges and universities that informal I'M
derstanding has been reached that move will
be made by these presidents looking to a re-
form in the method of conducting this branch Of
intercollegiate athletics.
No formal meeting has been held but the sit
uatlOn has been canyassed and in instruction Of
the subject at various times and places much
common ground has been found and a practical
unanimity reached every point. 1t is possi-
BILE general conference would have been held
| and the subject threshed over but for the oppo
sition Of President Hadley of Yale, who is said
to be opposed to any radical move that might
prove volcanic in it's results.
According to this gentleman the game has
gone too far from the direct control Of the col
leges. Many of them believe that the disputes
the charges Of unfairness that are hurled about
| the customs of commercalsm and other features
| of the conduct Of the game would be materially
| lessened if the colleges had direct control OF
| athletics. In their opinion the zeal Of alumni
! and coaches to have winning team Of the times
| causes them to resort to methods that the col
| leges themselves would not adopt.

JOHNSON TO DEMAND
AN EXPLANATION
Journal Special Service.

Chicago. Nov. 22.-There is likely to be dis
tinct settlement Of the difficulty between Owner
G. A. Comiskey of the Chicago Whitesox and
President Ban B. johnson of the American
league today at the annual winter meeting Of
the organization. 1t is not to be inferred
from this, however, that the settlement is to
be of peaceful nature. The caustic criticism
of Comiskey has aroused Johnson. and he prom
ises to make an issue Of it himself.
''If denial of the interview is made by
Mr.. COmiskey it rests with the members Of the
hatfooted denial is not made / will bring the
matter before the meeting" -.s.
All Of which indicates thta the routine busi-
ness will not be cleaned up in fifteen or twenty
minutes. There is no hope Of reconciliation:
everyone admits that. The great question is the
date of the inevitable conflict and fate appears
to have singled out Nov. %, 1905. What action
the other powers in the American league will
take in the matter is hard to prognostcate.
