Macalester's Outlook.
The following from the Pioneer
Press will be of interest in connection
with Saturdays game: In a practice
game with the Minneapolis South Side
high school team. the Manchester grid
iron men played a listless game and
allowed the high school players to
work their forward passes and open
plays for long gains. The Presbyteri-
ans seemed to be tired during most
of the game and lacked fight and gin
ger.
Welshons was back on the field yes
terday after an absence from the city
of three days, but did not seem to en-
ter into the spirit of the game in his
old style. The lineup was practically
the same as when the Macks went
against st. Thomas last week, but the
men all seemed only half awake. Sew
eral times the Manchester men quit
after a high school runner had passed
them, leaving him almost a clear run
down the field.
1t is possible that the heavy scrim-
mage work this week has o~vertaxed
the men and they are worn out and
light practice will give them a chance
to get into shape before they leave
for Grand Forks Friday night to meet

MOTORCYCLES IN

Davenport. Ia. Oct. 27-In the re-
cent economy run Of the Davenport,
Ia, Motorcycle club. nine of the thir-
teen members covered ten miles or
more on a pint Of gasoline each. One
member made 1863 miles and two 9TH
ers nearly the same on the limited
oil supply. Another feature of the
trip was that thirteen pints of gasoline
of thirteen riders was sufficient for
nearly $50 miles of travel.
Members of the club followed the
contestants with additional gasoline
supply which was given out when the
pint was consumed. The economy run
was featured by a wonan rider. Mrs.
r. l.. Carson. wife of the secretary of
the club. who finished among the first
riding 1913 miles.
