HIAWATHA'S FOOTBALL
BY Joe Breen, u. Of M.

Hiawatha got the fever
Got 1t good and got it plenty
Wished to play the game OF football
In some college Of ronown.
So he left the leafy woodland. VI
Left the wtgwam Of his fathers
To the big school Of the red man
liked this dark son of the forest
Met the mighty coach and asked him
For trial on the gridiron,
Then took up course In drawing,
Traded skins for his tuition.
Iron 1,ro u tne ,a nrst ne TOOK to football
Mastered quick the forward passing /,
OF the football-not the drawing.
he could punt and make q dropkick
From an angle near the sidelines. ar
Never did his trusty right foot 49, ~
Fail him at the time when needed.
He could like any red deer
Ramble like a locomotive, .t.'. p
Soon became the students IDOL '
Did this grandson Of Nokomts. 49,:
Now the big game was approaching;
To decide the champion 'ieyen.
Hiawatha's blood was boiling .<
Like the kettle Of pot gang, i
And he tasted in his training 80. ....
Till the diet brought eruptions;
Practiced meath the swinging arc light,
Tackled dummies by the ankles;
Minnehaha Joined the girls club
Learned to holler and say ''darnit,'
Wore the colors of her tribesmen 3D..
And was voted rooter captain.
Hiawatha got quite modern,
Changed his name to that Of Libby:
Thus he saved the breath of rooters '
When they hollered out, 'Who is he?"
There were many feared an outbreak
By the scalpers after tickets, -
But the Dig chiefs with the peace pipe
Gave the students all they wished for.
Lo, the game was on In earnest.
With the two teams fighting madly,
Fighting like a pair of tomcats
On dimly-lighted gridiron.
Minnehaha stood on one foot.
Then switched over on the other, g
Thusly leading all the goods ~ -.
Not accompanied With their mother ~.
Spoke the rain to Mr.. Libby,
Used the old name, not the new name;
kick the ball, th Hiawatha
Show them all your finest leg work.
And the big chief on the stdelines
Gently whispered: Boot the leather.''
Then the voice Of Minnehaha
Sounded thru meggy hornpipe:
IF you love me Hiawatha, 80
Elevate that measly pigskin''
Urged thus only, Mister Libby
Did his duty to a tee. .1''
Did he kick It! Bet your chocolates;
Thrice his foot made memory.
Legends tell us that the gopher
From the tall grass near the river
OFTEN cries out from his night sleep:
shame upon thee, Libbiwatha..''

NEW GYMNASIUM FOR
\ P|LLSBURY ACADEMY
Managers and Alumni Plan for
~ Splendid Building and
e New Fields.

Owatonna, Mimi, Dec. S.-The long
cherished dreams Of Pillsbury academy
supporters and alumni seem about to be
realized, as it is almost certain that
the preparatory school is to have a new
gymnasium. Plans have progressed to
the stage where those who direct the
affairs of the school, have appointed a
committee to investigate the matter
and report upon the most feasible plans
nj have become interested in the plans
and will do everything possible to as
sist.
A gymnasium to cost at least $4,000
IS planned and it will be the most mod
ern and best equipped building of it's
= kind in the northwest, fitted with all
facilities for indoor track work and
sports and with swimming pools. The
present gymnasium will probably be re-
built for chapel purposes.
{ New Fields Wanted.
{. With the building Of new gymna-
SUM will undoubtedly come also the
purchase Of additional ground for
new athletic field, east of the boy s DOR
mitory. This field is well suited for
such g plan. A baseball diamond will
then be laid out and the present foot
ball field will also be abandoned and a
new one placed in condition for next
season.
Basketball practice is on at the aca-
deny, the girls teams having been at
practice for four weeks, Under the
coaching Of Hugh Leach, the former
varsity star and later coach of the
gopher team. Coach Leach is confident
OF being able to develop one of the
fastest teams in the state. He will
trot out his candidates for the boys
team this week, and from then on, work
will be taken up in earnest. There is
q great deal of material from which to
select team and with Leach coaching,
there seems no reason why the team
should not maintain the record won by
stne football and baseball teams of the
academy.
Whether hockey will be taken up as
sport under the direction of the ath-
let1c councils has not yet been decided.
An open rink has been authorized. but
the organization of a hockey team is
mot yet certain.
I Baseball Talk.
The students are already discussing
She outlook for the baseball team next
spring, the prospects being that the
team will be the best in the history of
the sport at this school. Nearly all of
last years team are again in school.
and Leach will probably be secure to
coach this team also. Jerome johnson
is captain of the, team for next spring
and is certain to get good work out Of
s}hls men. The other positions which
look secure are, Knatvold, catcher,
:Nqessle and Middlebrook, pitchers;
Fgohnson, hrst base; Ober, second base;
pickering, third base; Middlebrook'
lshortstop; Kanton, Stensrud and other
candidates for Outfeld.
IS At the banquet rendered the football
team at the home of the principal of
the school, the election of next year IS
captain was held and the choice fell
upon Robert Knatvold of Albert Lea,
fthe fullback of the team for the past
two years. The choice is popular

No Injuries.
The remarkable feature of the sea-
son s work is that not man has been
injured severely. The open game has
been winner, and the football enthu-
siasts are loudly in favor Of the new
game. The forward passes, plenty Of
punting and other plays under the new
rules, make the game fully as inter-
esting and cause less injury.

TRACK ATHLETICS IN
FOR DOSE OF REFORM
Coaches Show Some Apprehension
Over the Outlook for
Next Season,
Special to The Journal,

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, Dec. 8.-College track ath-
letics are due for an accumulated dose
of "reform' this season, an affair
which is causing the coaches of the
big nine' teams to look forward to
the, winter and spring grind with ap-
prehension. The conference teams are
season Jan. 1, with the prospect Of
having no new material to pick from,
owing to the force Of Zone year, rule
passed by the "purity' professors
last spring.
The "six months' rule operative
last winter kept the freshmen, out of
the meets until the outdoor work
begun, but the coaches trained the
"freshiesn with the varsity squad all
winter with little change from the
methods of former years. This season,
however, the freshmen must remain out
altogether for the. first time, and the
caliber of the college teams is likely
to be CORRESPONDENCE lowered.
When the Zone year, rule was
passed last spring it was too late to
make it retroactive upon the students
then in school and the freshmen were
allowed to compete in the outdoor
meets: The confirmation of the rule
by all the colleges definitely put the
"colts' out Of the running.
Undergrads Pleased.
College fans are generally pleased
with the conference recommendation to
do away with the retroactive features
of the "three year competition rule,
which will permit athletes who have al
ready had three years to take part in
the meets this spring. In case none Of
the colleges object and the rule be-
comes active, it will be a big help to
the teams, but will scarcely make up
for the large loss of new material suf-
fered by cutting off the frst-year men
except in one or two cases.
Coach Hugo Friend Of the maroon
track squad would be able to put big
class team into the field if he could use
the abundance of freshman athletes in
attendance at the Midway. Without
this aid, he declares, Chicago's pros
poets for successful season are

planned to meet the wolverines. The
dates for the Michigan meets have not
been arranged, but it is probable that
the wolverines will have a place on
the schedule, while the two meets may
be arranged between the maroons and
the Ann Arbor athletes.

with the mind" and beauty thrills

AS Walter Scott sang in "The Law
Of the Last Minstrel"
True loves the gift which God has
given
To man alone beneath the heaven;
1t is not fantasy's hot fire,
Whose wishes. soon as granted fly;
1t liveth not in fierce desire
With dead desire it doth not die.
1t is the secret sympathy,
The silver line, the silken tie.
Which heart to heart. and mind to
mind,
In body and in soul can bind.
Because a man and woman are
destitute objects of charity inhabit-
ing a public institution, and very
near the grave, are those reasons why
they do not feel the need of that Sc
cret sympathy, and can not give 1t
in return to those from whom they
receive It?
