. Foot Ball.
Minnea polis.-The football schedule.
for the coming season at the Univer-
sity of Minnesota, promises to be un-
usually good. The season will open
with game with Ames, on Northrop
Field, on the 9th Of October and will
be followed by game with Nebraska
on November Sd. The game with Chi
cago will be played at Chicago on the
10th of November. Carlisle Indian
| School will be met on Northrop Field
on the 18th and the season will close
with a game with Indiana on the oath
of November. For the first time in
seventeen years Wisconsin will not be
met. The general opinion about the
| University Of Minnesota seems to be
that the schedule Is in every way sat
isfactory and that the new rules which
have come as result of last springs
agitation will improve the game by
making it more open and interesting
to spectators. The danger Of injury,
while not lessened by the change in
the style of play, will be greatly re-
| duced by the stricter enforcement of
the rules provided for by the two-um-
| tons which specify what constitutes
a FOUL and the severer penalties for
the infraction of the rules Of the game.
Lovers of the sport are likely to see
one of the most satisfactory football
seasons Minnesota has ever had. I

doors Of the Northern Pacific building
were wide open, through which the
excited animals rushed into the hall.
They took a few hurried turns through
the corridors of the first floor. One
Of them tried to break into the pas
senger department, and the glass on
the door was shattered. The other in
the meantime was busy bucking up
against window at the other end
Of the hall. Heavy wire netting pre-
vented the calf from breaking through,
but it was successful in smashing all
the glass in the window.

Moorhead.-As the Great Northern
train from Crookston rounded the
curve to get on the main track the
engineer saw a little way ahead what
