JOHN GLEASON, president of the Minnesota
athletic board of control-While it is not pleas
ant to lose game like this, it is some CON-
Tort to know that we have lost to as good a
team as Carlisle. There is nothing to say ex-
cept that we were fairly beaten by a better
team. -..'
FRANK REED, business manager for Mime
sota-They beat us. -
SIG HARRIS, assistant coach Of Minnesota
The Indians played all around us today, and
while we have no excuses to make we feel it
misfortune that we should have shown up
so badly in SO many of the essentials off the
game The Indians are certainly rreat
bunch to follow the ball, and showed great
football instincts thruout the game.
PROFESSOR. JAMES PAIGE, faculty member of
the Minnesota athletic board of control-This
is not pleasant, but we cannot complain. Car
Isle won fairly and is. entitled to full credit
for its victory. We will try to do better next
time. -, / Z .l... =. -
HARRY G. GALE, umpire-The Indians PLAYED
brilliant game. Their ability to advance the
2 ball on old-style plays was surprising. They
had a great advantage In the fact that they
had "a good goal-kicker. The game was very
clean, and regret the necessity of having to

doubtedly the best end in the west.

Altho their team had met defeat, and
the champions of the west had failed
to make good against an eastern team,
the university rooters played their part
in. the contest yesterday to a glorious
finish. Undaunted by the heart-rend
ing score Of II to 0 against the foot
ball heroes who had wrested the cham
before, the entire body Of student root
ers, girls as we'll as men, kept their
places in the grandstands until the vast
crowd had slowly filed out and cheered
for the gopher team until they were
hoarse. Girls with tears in their eyes
shivered with the cold but stayed until
the field was empty.
Then around the windows Of the
training quarters they gathered, more
than 500 strong, and for half an hour
sang the college songs and cheered the
team for its glorious defeat. Every
player on the Minnesota eleven was
was cheered again and again. "What' $
the matter with Captain Current9'
the crowd would yell, or "What's the
matter with Bobby Marshall9' and 500
voices would take up the answer "He g

question, "Who did you say9' and
the answer, "Marshall!' f'Who is

the echoes would be set ringing with
the vociferous assertion that he was q
La la, lu lu, and Ski-U- Mah!''
Then with uncovered heads the Min
nesota anthem was sung in voices which
were strained and hoarse from shout
ing, and the rooters disbanded. Many
alumni who had not hear the song since
they were in college joined in the
words Of the old song:
Minnesota, hail to thee!
Hail to thee our college dear;

London.s Comic Paper.

London Punch was concocted in the
back parlor Of public house behind
Drury Lane theater. The first editor
of Punch was the landlord of that tav-
ern, and in that room assembled al
most every night some Of the most
lively wits of the day-more noted, as
Dion Boucicault tells, for wit than
money. The landlord made punch, and
around the bowl those men would sit
drinking, smoking and cracking jokes.
The landlord proposed that their
jokes should not be wasted, that their
wit should start comic paper. A
good idea, but what name to give it?
What name? The child should have
its fathers name. And the landlord

The Sun Not Burned out.

1t has been stated by such authorities
rs Kelvin, Newcomb and Ball that the
future Of the suns activity will be
comparatively short-not more than TO-,
100000 years-and some have even sug-
gested that the suns activity already
shows signs Of waning. So far is this
from being the case that only one
fourth Of our supply of energy has been
expended, and three-fourths are yet in
store for the future life of the planeta-
ry system. This opens up to our con-
temptation decidedly refreshing view
Of the future and will give renewed
hope to all who believe that the end Of
mundane progress is not yet in sight.
Not only should the future possibilities
OF scientific progress be vastly extend
ed, but there will in all probability be
the most ample time for the further de-
velopment of the races of beings in
habiting this planet. According to this
view, the evolution of our earth is still
in its infancy. with the zenith of its
splendor far in the future-T. ]. j. See

A more disagreeable object than

to imagine. Although, as rule it does
not measure more than seven inches in

woods that are longer than !; foot.
They crawl out of some dried wood,
and, taking up their position on con-
venient rock or stone look, as they
hold their great jointed sting curved
over their backs and their claws held
