singing while the men dance. In their
songs they make all kinds of remarks
about the opposing side. The dances
continue all night long. From the
time of the dances until after the game
the players are not allowed to eat any
food.
The following day the people from
the different sections gather at the APP
pointed place to witness the game.
They either sit or stand around the
edge of the field. The ballplayers each
have two sticks similar to those used
in the game of lacrosse, only smaller.
The ball is tossed up in the center of
the field and the game begins. The
object is to get 1t around two poles
placed at each end of the field a GER
tain number of times. They cannot
pick up the ball in their hands The
players who succeed in getting the
ball around the poles at the end of
the field the greatest number of times
win the game.

GOOD KICKERS
MUCH NEEDED

Never before in the history of Am.
erlcan college football has the import
ance of a reasonably sure drop on
place kicker been emphasized So
strongly as this season. Under the
new rules the attack has been weak-
ened to such an extent that IT is nav+
to impossible to gain ground consist :
emily by rushing if two eIevens are
reasonably we'll matched. The old time
marches down the field have been cora
splcuous by their absence this wear
ana scoring by so-called straight foot
pan has become almost lost art I'm
uer the circumstances a good drop or
pace Kicker Is essential to any team
as the only means in many cases of
bringing about score. The coaches
nave not been slow to recognize this
Iact, and more attention has been maid
TINS season to developing from two to
nVe men who can be called upon when
occasion demands than ever before
Inc trouble is that under stress and
excitement of big game the men fail
TO DO what appears tot be so easv in
practice, and it strikes one that Some
OF the coaches are not paying enough
attention to their drop and place kick
ers in the daily scrimmage work.

T. c. BASKETBALL
To BEGIN soon
COACH WATKINS WILL ISSUE
CALL FOR TEAM CANDIDATES
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THANKS
GIvtNG-soME OF LAST YEARS
MEN AFTER BEST PLACES.

Basketball is next in order at Fargo
college, after most successful season
on the gridiron. Prospects for a good
team look very hopeful. OF last years
squad, five men are back, besides ali
the second team.
Some very promising material has
come in this year and will in q large
measure fill the vacancies of Pollock
and Perry. Walker and Mcmillan will
be candidates for center. Both of these
men are said to be good. They have
the required height at least Slingsby,
Fl. Haggart. Thayer and G. Haggarr
of last years squad will be nard after
the forward positions, together with
several Of last years second team. For
tin, last years all-state guard, is
again at school ready to toss the bali.
The other guard position, left by Pol
lock, will be hard to fill, but several
promising candidates are in line.
Coach Watkins will not issue his
call for candidates until after Thanks
giving. In the meanwhile the gym
will be open and the men given a
chance to throw few. Several big
games have been scheduled with the
state colleges. Coach Watkins and
Manager Engerud are planning a trip
to Winnipeg and arrangements are now
under way. There will not be as heavy
a schedule this year as last, but the
games played will be more important.

IN THE WORLD OF SPORT

OF the matter is that seldom if ever
two teams went into a game wherein
everything balances and evens up as
in this contest. Michigan has a heavy
powerful team. Minnesota has fast
powerful team. Each team has it's
individual stars. Michigan has her
wonderful Benbrook and Magidsohn.
Minnesota has Bromley, Walker, Nc
Govern, Johnston, Stevens, Rosenwald,
Young for almost every position. Mich
igan counters on the list with a man
of equal ability. Michigan has shown
very powerful attack along the lines
of straight footbal-grea football, if
properly played and put in. Mime
sofa has straight football and IL it
works right, the greatest attack of any
team in the country today.
Today the game is a toss-u A pre-
diction of victory for either team is
nothing but guess, more upon par
tisanship than upon any other basis.
The schedules have been so arranged
that it has worked to an impossibility
of making any comparison. Michigan
may have the strength and power to
crush Minnesota The gophers may
run rings around Yosts men.
1t may be tie game or one side or
the other may get the opponents going
and make it walkaway. Opinions
the probable outcome are
Just opinions-nothing more.

pected today. The team came into
New Haven yesterday and had a Sc
cret practice Of two hours on the Yale
field this afternoon.
The announcement that Vaughn
would be able to take part in Satur-
days game was a welcome surprise to
the Yale supporters. He was taken
Ill after the Harvard game last year.
and 1t was believed he would never be
able to play again.
His experiences with the forward
pass will materially strengthen the
team. In the afternoons scrimmage
the varsity scored six times against
the scrubs and freshmen.
Distribution of football tickets to the
under graduates was made today.
There were plenty of disappointments
owing to the pairing down of applica-
tions. but on the whole the students
seemed to be reconciled. Numerous
offers of tickets at attractive figures
from $25 pair upward are coming
from outside to Yale men.
The demand for tickets for the Har-
yard and Yale football game at New
Haven on Saturday So far outruns the
supply that what few spectators have
succeeded in gathering in a few, are
holding them at prices ranging from
$40 to $50 pair. Six seats were adj
vertised today for $500, and local brok-
ers are in constant receipt of orders
from all parts of the country, offering
almost any price for tickets.

GREATEST GAME
OF WEST COMING

Minneapolis, Nov. 1.-THE eyes of
the entire west will be on Ann Arbor
next Saturday afternoon when the
famous 1910 gopher football machine,
claimed by many to be the best that
ever represented Minnesota will clash
with Yost's great team which is also
one of the bet in the country this
year. The game is for the champion
ship OF the west and will be the most
bitterly contested in years.
The Minnesota team left last even
ing for Chicago where they are spend
ing today. The squad which left Min
neapolis last evening over the Mil
waukee road consisted of thirty seven
players, coaches, trainers and rubbers.
They will spend a quiet day in Chi
cago, will. be given light signal drill
in a quiet spot in the suburbs of the
windy city, this afternoon and will
descend on Ann Arbor late tomorrow
or early Saturday morning.
Minnesota Is going to Ann Arbor
with full knowledge of the fact that
the Michigan attack is to be the heav-
list and most powerful met this year.
Yost has the men and Is credited at
Minnesota with being versatile and
resourceful coach. He always knows,
through the workings Of an active and
widespread alumni, the inside facts con-
corning rival teams and there is not
the slightest trace of overconfidence
or cockiness on the part of Mime
sofa. The players realize that 1T is
to be the hardest game since that
played with the wolverines on North
rop field last year. They have a full
realization of what can be gained by
defeating the wolverines. They be-
lieve they can do 1t IL everything
breaks right. They have a fighting
chance, but every man on the squad
knows that he has his work cut out
for him for every second of the play.
Column after column is being writ
ten all over the country on this game,
partisans OF each side claiming the
game in advance. The straight truth

The neighborhood In which / live,

Is divided into four main section,
namely: Yellow Hill, 5000, Big Cove
and Birdtown. The Indians living In
one of these sections will challenge
those living in another to a game of
ball They choose their players and
agree upon the time and place for
playing the game. 1t is generally
played in an open field far different
from the well graded field upon which
the game of football is played.

dance in their respective sections Of

in the open air usually near some
