FAMOUS MAR00NS TO
VISIT N0RTHROP FIELD

De Tray, Steffes, Parry, Russell, Gale and
Schommers, six of the best known football men
In the west, will appear on Northrop field tomor-
row when the track teams of Minnesota and
Chicago universities meet in dual competition.
Doffng their moleskins and DOMINIC the more
abbreviated costume of the track these men
have been largely instrumental in developing one
of the best teams in the west, and gopher root
tiers who rejoice in Chicago's victory Mich1-
gan on the gridron last fall will find double en-
joyment in watching the dual meet tomorrow.
In addition to the men named, Minneapolis
people will be specially interested in Iddings and
Merrill Of the maroon team. Iddings is pole
yaulter, and he has often appeared on Northrop
field a member Of the Shattuck track team
while Merrill, the maroon star sprinter, is for
mer Minnea polls boy and nephew Of Larry Mer-
rill, for many years coach Of the Central high
football team
If weather conditions good tomorrow the
meet should develop the best contests ever held
on Northrop field, the gophers are out to re-
trieve their defeat by Wisconsin. Chicago IN
doubtedly has the better of the argument SO far
j, as records CO. but gopher rooters predict that
Minnesota will win first place in the 1OO-yard
dash, the 220-yard dash, the half mile run, the
12O-yard hurdles and the high jump, while Chi
cago Is conceded the weight events the pole
vault and the broad jump. Arguing that Mime
sofa will take at least six out Of the possible
fourteen, the rooters say that with third places
counting one and second three points, Captain
Greaves' men should be able to give the ma.
rooms close rub for first honors.
The 10O-yard dash will probably develop the
prettiest race on the program Merrill is con-
ceded to be one of the fastest men In the west,
and Dougherty, the Minnesota runner, estab-
lished a record Of 10 seconds fat On Northror
field last Saturday.
The meet will be called at o'clock and the
events will be run with fifteen minutes inter.
mission.
