NORTH DAKOTA TO
MEET CARLETON

Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. 1S.-Eight
veterans will be on the Carleton foot
ball team when they play here next
Saturday, and each and every one of
them football player Of considerable
merit, to say the least Stevenson,
the Carleton quarter, Is one of the
fastest men in the west, and played
last year on Carleton's eleven, being
unanimous for all Minnesota quarter,
outside of McGovern of Minnesota.
leighton at tackle was for four years
tackle on the North high school of
Minneapolis eleven and was one of the
fastest men in the twin cities is his
day He has already played three
years of college football, and as a
place kicker and punter is an AL man.
Jacobson, who plays fullback, has
been in Grand Forks on other mis-
sions, being a member of the fast
Thief River Falls baseball team that
played against the Picketts here in
1908-09. His speciality is receiving
forward passes and line plunging.
Clark at center Is playing his third
year in that position for Carleton and
football circles was star lineman for
the Mortified, Mimi, high school
eleven. Dack, the halfback of Garlic
ton also played with Northfield and
is some broken field runner. Simp-
son, who is playing his fourth year
at end, is a fierce tackler and played
high school football with the Fair
mount, Minn.s high school before
going to Carleton. More and Pain
at guards and Gi1let and Robertson at
halves are new men but reputed to be
decidedly fast.
Taken all in all, the Carleton eleven
is one of the best that school has ever
had Last year practically the same
team won the Minnesota intercol-
legiate championship. defeating Ham
line, Manchester, Shattuck and other
schools in decisive fashion.
comparison with the strength of
the present U. N. D. squad, however,
would indicate that Carleton should
not have the North Dakota men out
classed. Last year on a muddy field
the two teams played a to 3 tie, and
the only way that North Dakota can
be outplayed this year is to have a
slump on the part of the new men
or the team work. Practice last night
was decidedly unsatisfactory, not on
account of the men, but largely on
account of the weather. The after
noon was cold and raw and a high
wind spoiled the passes and kicks.
Despite this fact, however, the first
team ran through the second squad
ct will, scoring several touchdowns,
one of them being made in three
plays. Thompson, Gullickson and
Stack carrying the ball. for seventy
yards and a touchdown. The charg-
ing machine was brought out last
night for the first time and it served
to show up the real physical condi-
ton of the men more than anything.
The continual showing and charging
against the machine taxes the endur-
ance of the men more than any other
thing, and the machine will be used
with considerable regularity the re-
mainder Of the season.
Hard work is the watchword on the
squad this week and the cry I'VE must
beat Carleton" is beginning to be
heard with frequency on the campus.
There yet remains, however, lots of
spirit to be shown on the part OF the
students, and as yet the body of uni
versity men and women as a whole
are decidedly lacking in collegiate and
athletic spirit. Only a very few are
on the sidelines TO watch the practices
and not a single yell has been so much
as given to encourage the players in
their scrimmages or practice. If the
team is to be expected to win they
must have cooperation and it is APP
to some Of the loyal students to get
the student body together and show
their spirit.
