CUB FUR AND SOX FUZZ

The gates were thrown open at 1880
am. For hours a struggling mob Of
thousands had lined up in the vicinity.
Fifty minutes before the game began the
gates We're closed as every inch Of space
was taken up. It is estimated that the
doors We're shut in the faces Of fully
$4,000 who wanted to see the game
Frantic fans, who arrived few minutes
late, waved all sorts Of money in the air,
Offering as high as $50 for any sort Of a
perch from which to witness the play.
Owners of houses surrounding the park
charged 81 for seats in windows or on
the roof and everything was snapped up
early.
Just before the game began the crush
outside became so great that the left
field fence was broken down and a herd
keep back the tide.
Just as the sox went on the field to
practice two live bear cubs were led from
the clubhouse across the diamond The
crowd went crazy and man fell off the
roof of a clubhouse in his exuberance.
The mascots, however, worked by oppo-
sites, similar to the white stockinged
hen on the South Side yesterday.
Down in the city the jam around the
bulletin boards was something fierce.
Thousands lined up and packed across
vehicles We're stalled. One minister, i'm
bued with the spirit Of the times, an
nounced a sermon tomorrow on the pen
nant race. ' -
1t is freely predicted that the line win
begin to form at the gates at daylight
tomorrow. With sufficient accornmoda-
tons, the Sunday crowd, it is believed,
would run to $4,000. ~
Football, ping pong, tiddlewinks and
other near sports did not get look-in
today. The national game chased all
the substitutes clear off the board.
On the crossarm of telephone pole
were perched nine men. A fat policeman
ordered them down, but they said I'M
kind things to and at him. After he had
summoned a hook and ladder and truck
to help him, they flashed permits from
the manager Of the telephone company
and stuck for the big show.
One man, early in the season, built g
miniature grandstand in front Of his
house. 1t darkened the parlor somewhat
but he is $4,000 to the good.
In all the downtown houses bulletins
were posted today. Otherwise it would
have been impossible to keep the few

Grand Forks, Oct. 13.-The Univer-

is as follows: University Of Wiscon.

College, at Fargo, Oct. 81; Agricultural

In addition to these and number Of
games with minor state institutions,
there Is possibility that both Ham

brought here for games.
This year North Dakota lacks expert
enced material and weight. Altho
the university, which opened the last
week in September, has the largest en-
rollment in history, but little football
material of varsity caliber has been UNI
covered. The university for the past
two years has been represented by
splendid teams, and has carried off the
state championship, defeating all teams
played except the University of Mime

But four of last years players are
trying for honors this fall. These are:
Conmy and Davis, who alternate at
quarter; Ca plain Burtness, guard; and
Brannon, end; Dean, center, is attend
ing the university, but cannot play, as
he must devote all his time in the af-
ternoons to laboratory work. The
squad lost several men thru graduation,
and two others who expected to return
accepted mining positions. The death
of Nelson, few days before the open
ing of the university, lost to the team
one of Its strongest players. Added to
these misfortunes comes the news from
Fargo that the agricultural college has
by far the best material in years. The
agricultural college team is in SPLEEN

however, is of the kind that never
