ROGERS WILLE NOT
=. :, COACH SAINTS.
L, Thomas College Team Will
Only Play a Light
s= Schedule.

The St. Thomas football team took on the st.
Paul Central high school eleven yesterday after
noon the st. Thomas campus and succeeded
In running up q score of 45 to o. The school
team was badly outweighed and at time in
the thirty five minutes of play did they come
within striking distance of collegians' goal
Both teams played snappy ball and the new
rules were followed closely; the short kick and
forward pass being used continuously. Only ONCE
during the game and this In the first half
did the Centrals make first down, but the quar-
tertack got. off some. long punts which held the
saints down to score of 45.
Father Doyle is again at the head of the
ST. Thomas team and expects to finish the sea-
son with good record. altho the faculty has
decided that small college and school teams
alone will be played and that under no consid-
GRAFTON will the ST. Thomas team compete with
the other large colleges in the state as has been
the custom for years past This new change has
east gloom over the students who have al
ways been proud Of the showing of their team.
Ed Rogers. the former Minnesota star who
has been coaching the saints since the beginning
of last season. will not be retained after next
| week, 1t is thought that his services are too
valuable to waste when the team will play only
| high school teams and minor colleges. On next
Saturday Hamlne will be taken ON at st.
| Thomas grounds and the general belief is that
| the saints will win.

suited Captain Current was absent again and
his place back Of the line was filled by Dunn.

and already the first and second teams are CIV
ing more evidence Of this quality than at this
time last
There still remains the uncertainty as to who
for the working off Of conditions and until Octo-
ber 20 the coach will not know just what sort Of
lineup he can present In the first game. There
are sure to be some failures In examinations
and there Is fear that these failures will
catch some of the best men In the squad
@ Nebraska Busy.
Nebraska is getting uneasy and from reports
has been securing the prairies for veteran ma
terial. The South Dakotans threw a scare Of
tremendoum proportions into the cornhusker
camp by holding Nebraska 40 Saturday, and as
q result there has been much skirmishing. Now
comes word that they are grooming Billy john
son, the colored end, for little further par
ticipation, altho the records show that he has
already played hve years.
Here is Johnson's glorious record of playing
for the rich red colors of the Lincoln school:
19oO-Against Minnesota.
1901-Against Ames.
19o2-Against Knox.
1904-AgainSt Minnesota.

Cotton, who took several years under Dean
Booth, tried Yale for week two and re-
turned in time to help out the cornhuskers the
Same season. Is also wanted. Cotton has had
four years Of advanced and applied football, but
like johnson, the Nebraskans say he played a
year two "prep'' and maybe has several
years of university play still concealed in his
system
Up to Big Nine.
To be about this, the Nebraska authori
t1es are going to submit the eligibility Of Cot
ton and johnson to the big nine sages for their
opinion If they do it is rather safe to place
q small wager that the Dixie duo. Cotton ant
the colored lad will receive the spear where the
lady tied the chiffon. ..-' g.
No one up this way cares how long these
chaps play, how much. They have beer
weighed up in years gone by and the gophers
know just about how fast they go. They

THREE SCHOOLS ..". -. q.
i. ..*7 PLAY TOMORROW

Coach Frank Morse and about thirty-fv Gen.
trail high school football candidates travelled out
to Nicollet park yesterday and spent the after
noon in secret practice. All spectators were
fastest work OF the year. Morse is aware that
the game tomorrow with st. Cloud will be
tough one and is making all preparations for
a battle royal He has three sets Of backfeld
men and is confident that the team will not
suffer in this department. The line is heavy
and strong and altho the visitors will outweigh
them the outlook is bright. -. :
Coach Morse gave out the following lineup for
the game: LongfelIow left end; Putnam, left
tackle; Brown, left guard; Lewis; center; Cogan
or Tinkum, right guard; sundby. right tackle;
Barnard or Bordeaux, right end; Green, quar-
terback; Bresky, left halfback; Tobin, right
halfback, and Kreig, fullback
This lineup looks as strong as any school team
in the city and has been drilled on speed suf-
fciently to overcome the handicap which the st.
Cloud boys will have in weight The st. Cloud
team will arrive in Minneapolis twenty eight
strong tomorrow morning, and will put up at
the Holmes hotel.
Another hard scrimmage was the card at
North high yesterday. and again the battle
between the first and second teams was fierce.
At times the scrubs. under Jack Oswald, would
sweep the regulars of their feet and then again
Burgan would send his men thru the seconds
at will. Casey will take care Of the quarter
back position in the Northfeld game and much
is expected Of him. sLee Chicken or Laur1tzen
and Leighton will constitute the remainder Of
the back field.
Many Of the students at East high are ar.
ranging to accompany the team to 5Faribault
Saturday and the crimson men will receive some
support from the roofing stands Manager Brand
expects a victory this year from the Shads and
nothing less than tie.wil1 be accepted by him.
The team will leave the Great Western station
Saturday morning at 80, and will return In the
evening. z:ss.5S.ys
Coach Ellis drilled his team in every depart
ment Of the game yesterday afternoon and
finished by two, fifteen-minute halves Of socker
football. The South Siders have an open date
this Friday, but next week Will play their an
nual game with North high. The team has
strengthened since the East game, and it is
probable that North will be surprised.
