In the fight for the goal line. -;
DR.. Williams had one experience with a big,
heavy team that he has not forgotten, and the
result is, knowing the advantage Of speed under
the new rules that he is turning all his atten-
ton to his offense and trying to develop all the
speed possible The defense Is sound now, ac-
cording to reports from Minneapolis, but the
ofense will be speeded up.
Back in 1901 Minnesota went down to Madi-
son to play Wisconsin. That Arthur Curtis
last year with the badgers and he was captain
The gophers were pounds in weight over the
badgers and everyone from that school looked
for overwhelming victory for the old gold and ma
room When the tale was told. however Curtis
and his faster tho lighter men had run up sew
enteen points against none by the gophers. Time
after time the gopher attack was spilled before
1t reached the line Of scrimmage by those faster
badgers. Had the ponderous, powerful attack
of the gophers ever got started they would have
crushed their way down the field to victory, but
this the badgers did not allow.
This was the lessen DR.. williams learned and
which he has constantly in mind in working to
develop his big men into sprinters. He clings
to the. idea Of weight in spite Of the changes
made In the rules this year, which distinctly
favor the lighter and faster player. ~

BOXING A FEATURE
OF ELECTION NIGHT

Two spirited boxing exhibitions were among
the attractions Of election night At the
Cooke institute Jimmy Potts and Eddie Gardner
gave fast ten-round exhibition. Gardner was
the heavier Of the two, and in the progress Of
the bout took terrific lacing at the hands of
his lighter opponent. Potts appeared to be in
better condition than his adversary and from
the call of time outboxed and outgeneraled him.
Gardner was all in at the end Of the seventh
round, but gamely stuck 1t out, coming back
surprisingly strong in the ninth and tenth
rounds AS it was friendly exhibition de-
cision was given.
Later In the evening Ryan and "wood' mixed
matters for six rounds before a large assem-
bly, of boxing fans on lower Nicollet Wood
started in like whirlwind and had the best Of
Ryan for four rounds. The latter was bleed
ing profusely at the end Of the fourth, but It
from the nose only, and did not cause him
any distress. The fast pace told on Wood and
in the fifth and sixth rounds Ryan clearly out
fought and outpointed his man. Wood had
clever cover up which worried Ryan for time,
but in the last two rounds he had solved It and
started flashing it to his opponent right and
left. As this affair was also an exhibition no
decision was given.
Thunderbolt Smith, heavyweight, and dusky
boxer, lightweight who said he was from Buff
falo and wished to meet any man In the north
west at 1873 pounds, gave howlful exhibition
for three rounds. The bouts were largely attend
ed in both instances.

Chicago football critics profess to be "seeing
things at night relative to the gopher team
which invades Marshall field Saturday. The
gopher weights are exaggerated and swelled up,

New York, Nov. 7.-Only recently has the

lures are giving William Nolan's protege
clean bill Of health.
Half an hour before the climax Of tho combat
the sun began to dip below the west wall of the
arena. At about the thirteenth round the men
who were running the picture machines began
to swear at the failing light. After the fight
was over they admitted that they could not
hope for any results from the films Of the last
six rounds. unless they doctored.
Barton W. Currie asked the picture man II
the Impressions faint: If the pictures
could be run. He said they could be touched up.
1T is almost impossible to believe" said
Currie, THAT the evidence Of the battler's dirty
fighting was erased from the films. If they are
honest impressions they should tell the whole
story. They should show how after the bell
sounded in the early rounds of the fight the Dane
kicked Cans the shins and endeavored to
kick him below the belt, but the pictures do
not show them. Whenever he got an opportunity
to clinch, how once when beaten down by the
ropes the negro helped him to his feet, Nelson
acknowledging the courtesy by jabbing Cans
viciously in the stomach.

journal Special Service.

Chicago, Nov. IA maroon defense that will
be able to overcome the handicap of ''ffteen
pounds weight to the man possessed by the
gophers'' is the problem that is receiving Coach
Stages greatest attention.
With only three days left for practice, the
maroon director is putting the thru the
hardest work of the season. in drilling them
in all departments of the game and Is holding
lengthy night sessions. But the question that
seems to be bothering him most is his line.
If he bolster this up that 1t can battle
on even terms with the gophers, Stage Is willing
to take the chances on his backfeld when pitted
sagainst that of DR.. Williams team.
The fact that the maroons have only about
two-thirds Of their seventy plays mastered per-
fectly shows that Stagg Is not neglecting his
ofense during the last week, but the daily
scrimmages Of the regulars against the fresh
men have failed to bring forth stonewau de-

Something Of the tremendous task that faces
Stage may be seen from these figures. Chicago's
line is weak, Minnesota's is strong. Chicago's
backfeld is fast and light, Minnesota's is fast
and heavy. Under these conditions the odds
favor the gophers in every way.
But there other angles to football besides
mere weight and speed, and Stage has proven
himself in a hundred battles equal to every
occasion. The lovers Of the gr1diron sport have
unlimited confidence in him, and Chicago follow
ers will bank on the wizard OF the Midway
to develop line that will hold the tremendous
hammering to which 1t will be subjected by the
gophers, and a ,backfeld that will run away from
