Instead of the withdrawal being a

the Wolverines have established re-

than ever before. AT the same time
they have been playing Minnesota

prepared to do It,

The Gophers would be very glad to
do this If they could continue their
athletics to as good advantage, but I'M.

impossible. Should Minnesota drop
the conference she would be obliged
TO look eastward for games to fill up
her schedule.
Minneapolis is too far west for the
eastern schools and they do not favor
the establishment OF any relations
with schools SO distant from them.
When Pennsylvania and Michigan
first met, the easterners thought that
the Quakers were going pretty far
away and they cannot even bear the
idea OF giving the Gophers games.

clash in the afternoon football game
at the Mack-ave. park Thanksgiving
day and this struggle should prove one
of the best staged In independent foot

and have not lost game In four
seasons. This team is classed as the
best team of its weight in the city and
plays some fast football.
The class which they displayed III
the game against the Orioles last Sun
day stamps them as the speediest foot
ball team in the city. Their plays. are
run of with lightning speed and they
have very versatile attack and
almost perfect interference.
However. the Argonauts have been
success ,ful against all teams met this

ANY teams wishing to play at the

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-Aside from the
excellent spirit shown by the players,
Coach Yost. of Michigan, gives the
credit for the Wolverines success on
the gridiron this season to Doc
Kraenzlem, the former great all-round
athlete who acted as trainer for the
squad Kraenzlein had the team In

said here. This was noticeable In the
Pennsylvania game, when Michigan
went through the contest without
making a change in her lineup.
Yost brought to light trick the
Pennsylvania players had down To a
nicely this season. Michigan seemed
To tumble a great deal during the con-
test in Philadelphia and Yost said he
had calldown in store for the play
ers when they came in after the first
half The players said, however, that
the Pennsylvania men had a way OF
tackling so that their shoulders
bumped violently against the elbow OF
the arm under which they were carry
ing the ball with the result that the
oval was many times sent spinning
out OF their grip.
Vest said he was we'll satisfied with

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Nov. 23.-This

kickers, and victory via the aerial
route has been frequent. Coaches are
