HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS
WORK LIKE TROJANS
Coaches Getting the Players
Down to Serious Work
II this Week.

In spite Of the fact that there is an
attempt On foot to abolish the game of
football in the high schools of Mime
apolis, the different elevens are out in
large numbers daily practicing for the
season s work, and there is rumor cir
culating among the teams that football
will be played even if the teams must
be independent of schools.
:, For the first few days of the term
there was, no interference with the
preparations for the seasons football,
but after all the candidates and pupils
became enthused the first blow was

teams attempted to play without a
coach there would be nothing but in
Juries and disorder and the result
would be a bad name for the high
school students.

coach question would be settled, but in
the meantime another attempt was
made to abolish the game, this time by

were concerned the game would remain.

see the popular sport abolished.
At the meeting of the professors it
was finally decided to allow salaried
coaches, but to limit their salaries to
comparatively small sum.

game as anything is considered better
by them than the stopping of the game.
