AGGIES IN TRIM
FOR THE GOPHERS
Ames Team Arrived Last Night
and Look to Be For
midable.

The Ames football squad arrived in Minneapo-
lis at e:25 last night and stopping at the
West hotel. There We're twenty twopayers in
the group beside Coach Ristine, Assistant Coach
group beside Coach Ristine Assistant Coach
Clyde Williams and Trainer Watson. --'
Coach Ristine said this morning: 1--WE are
here to do our best. and guess there Is little
doubt but that the team Is stronger than ever.
Our showing against Nebraska has put spirit
into the players and altho Reppert, our full
back, is out of the game with a bad knee and
Jeanson, the quarter, Is in bad way, we will
put up strong game, and If possible win. "
In speaking Of Nebraska, Mr.. Ristine said:
1.-THE cornhuskers are not nearly as strong this
year as last. and our victory was not sur
prise to ne. We are heavier this year than
ever. and I think rather fast. The Minnesota
management made mistake in not having the
Nebraska game before ours, but OF course the
gophers had the same idea as everyone else,
that Nebraska would win from Dc, .-..,
"Dr Williams team will outweigh us some,
but the best we can dots our best, and the
gophers will probably be surprised at that.
The following is the lineup for this afternoons
battle:
Holmes. end: Barber Henni ,9;;,s
Vita, left guard. ..........'. Heison
Smith. right guard ..... brennan
M Mars risht end. Mchnaey
Larktn- McRae. 80. quarterback ....... Hubbard
shuknecht left halfback: ....:... Jones
Current. ........... fullback ..........,. Wilet
The student body at Ames turned out, and as
the team left the depot at the campus they were
roundly cheered.
Who will start the game at quarter Is not
known and will not be known until this after
noon. Jeansons ankle, which wrenched the
hrst Of the week, Is greatly improved and if 1t
Is all right he will start, the game, otherwise
Hubbard will 60 In. Knox will go in when
needed. Hubbard ran the team Thursday night
and the night before, and has become perfectly
familiar with signals. He played regular quarter
last year and the position and well
known to him. Altho he has not the drop-kicking
ability OF Jeanson, he can be depended on to
give good account Of himself.
Reppert, the star fullback and one of the
best defense players Ames ever had, was not
brought along, this being due to the condition
of his knee. He has not been able to it
freely for over week. All the rest of the
men are in good shape and are determined to
make a few points for Ames.
The excursion Of Ames rooters did not ma
terialize owing to the fact that it came so
the Nebraska game Nevertheless Ames
will be represented by quite bunch of loyal
rooters.
The gophers held final practice light signal
workout last night and in fair condition
for play. There will be all sorts of enthu-
siasm today, this awakened by a big
mass meeting yesterday morning.
The field is in splendid condition and the indi-
this contest. Ames is no longer a practice
game.
Shortly before Coach Ristine took his
men out in the Harriet district for short
warm-up. The gophers rested save for a short
stroll about the university grounds.
