PETTIJoHN AT QUARTER,
HAROLD VIDAL AT END.

st. Paul Pioneer Press: Unless an
other bunch Of hard luck hits the Min
nesota football team before the battle
between the gophers and badgers at
Madison week from Saturday. Lyle
Pettijohn, the St Paul boy who mas
been playing star game at left end
for the varsity team, will shoulder the
responsibilities of the injured captain.
Johnny McGovern, and viii fill the
gopher leaders position at quarter
back.
Petty" will probably be able to INA
the bill better than any other member
of the squad, for the has shown con-
siderable ability In handling the oval
from the pilot position in the shift
plays in the games so far this season
and there is no better man In the west
in heaving the pighide in forward
passes. Hhis throwing is accurate and
he can toss the Oval from thirty to
forty yards with the greatest of ease.
If such plan Ii adopted Vidal viii
probably be used at left end on the
offense, with Pettijohn taking his old
position on the defense This will be
the most plausible solution to the diff
ficult problem, and with Petty doing
the booting the gophers will be weak
ened but little, for he has aIternated
with McGovern in several of the games
and one of his kicks In the chicago
game, after McGovern had retired,
was beauty for height and distance.

l44,500 spectators fiocl5ed to the stad
ium. However. the seating capacit,
was subsequently lessened so that 81,
900 is the high attendance mark at tn
present time. If the planned Yale
stadium becomes a reality certain /
is that the 44,500 croud will be nc
longer record one. With 71z acre
stadium at New Haven a 10000 seat
ing capacity will be assured.
| There is no gainsaying the fact that
| general interest in football this year
| is greater than ever before In the his
tory of the sport. The equalizing of
the strength OF the teams made pos
sible by studious application to the
possibilities Of the new game has done
its work. Attracted by the close games
that the small colleges have been
playing with the big varsities, many
more enthusiasts have attended the
early season contests than was the
case in other years. From all over the
country comes the news from teams
managers that the attendance so far
has been in excess of previous au-
tumns.
The foregoing only goes to show
what may be expected in the matches
of next month. Everard Thompson,
Yale's ticket manager, ascribes the in
creased attendance to two things
new football" and two automobile.
Thompson declares that the revision in
the playing code increased the popu-
larity of the sport and that the now
very general use OF the motor car has
gained many new devotees to the au-
tumn pastime. The fact that the Yale
supply Of tickets for the army game
was exhausted is proof conclusive Of
the mold that the game has taken at
New Haven.
While the Bulldog will not take the
field against his ancient rival, the
Tiger, until Nov. 10, and Harvard a
week later, those interested are
preparing for the match. 1t
goes without saying that Princeton's
invasion Of New Haven will be most
complete. The entire student body
will probably make the trip and a
host of graduates and friends of the
are expected to be on hand
Already there is talk of the famous
Jungle town eating club" making
the trip in special cars. Taken from
every viewpoint the match will GER
tainly be featured by an Orange and
Black tinting Of the Bulldogs pre-
serves And at Cambridge thought is
already being given to the great
crowd that will throng the stadium on
Nov. 20, the date of the Yale game.

FOR TWENTY YEARS.


Minneapolis, Nov. 5.--The first harl
work since the Chicago game fell 10
the lot of the gophers Thursday.
They went through long signal
practice and then scrimmaged with the
college team. The work was red hot
and the college aggregation found it
as hard to do anything with the
varsity as did the maroons.
DIR. Williams is making a series of
experiments at the quarterback posi-
ton. He is trying out Pettijohn.
Rademacher, DeVeau and Faegere. AMI
all OF them are showing good form.
1t is possible that one of the veterans
will start the badger game in the
quarter position. If the gophers get
the game well in hand it would not
be strange to see Deveau shunted in
to give him the experience. This
though is purely the conjecture Of
possibility and there is no particular
reason to believe that Minnesota is
going to find the badgers so easy as
to make it possible to break in new
quarters during the progress of the
game.
If it were earlier in the season with
series of practice games it would be
an absolute certainty that Devean
would get the position, but the time 3
SO short and the opportunity for play
so scant that some of the alumni and
the coaches have feared to put DeVeau
in TO start the Wisconsin game on ac-
count of his inexperience at Yntvarsit.y
football. 1t may be, though, that the
scrimmage of this week and next viii
demonstrate that he is the man, and
in case 1T does in he will go. 1t is
rather a puzZling question for d..
Williams and his assistants. A great
deal hinges on the outcome OF the
Wisconsin game and there is a desire
to get the best possible arranRement
of the team for that occasion. Person
al likes and dislilzes will not cut arv
figure In the shifts Of the players. Il
is an open competition, and the mai
or men who show the best form will
gain the honor. Pettijohn has some
thing Of an advantage over DeVeau
on account of his experience, but the
younger lad is working hard and
would give his head 10 get into the
game.
Both have the team idea so firmly
that either will step out 4
the others way in a second If he
thought his rival would prove the bet
ter man for that game. 1t is this sort
Of spirit which has been the making
Of the gopher team this year.
