Gophers Have Ideal Team
From present indications, Minneso-

"A nerfectly for the new game. The
line is composed of players who are
fast heavy and agile and they are
able To handle their opponents In a
manner which enables the backs to
e,ec,,te successfully most any sort of
nlays behind the line. The backfield
is composed probably of the fastest
SET of backs i'm the country I'm john

MED with this great asset is the ex-

although a new man to followers of
western football has done all that
could be asked of him this year while
playing his position, and is sure to
develop into a star end rush.
Walker Strong on Defense.
Walker at right tackle, will be re-

raised havoc with the offense Of most

der in Minneapolis. while the center
trio, Robinson, Morrell. and Brom-
ley. should be able to take care of
anything they meet.
With such an aggregation of stars,
Coach Williams should have one or
his strongest teams in years, and GER
tanly one that should retain Its title
Of conference champions.
After winning all its games last year
by one-sided scores, the Gophers were
