Team.
NO CHANGES IN LINEUP.
Team to Play Saturday to Be Prac-

Week.

| m1uuedpoiIS, Oct. Z4.-Dr. George
e. Vincent, president of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota, and Mrs. Vincent
will entertain the regular members
of the Gopher team, the reserves and
DR.. Williams and his assistant
coaches Sig Harris and John Nc
Govern, at an informal dinner and
| the reception at their home, Friday
night, the eve of the battle with the
Hawkeyes. The festivities lasting
two hours, will be over by $3.50, 20
as to give the men every opportunity
to get a good nights rest before the
| contest.
Minnesota football regulars and
reserves were given their first scrim-
mage Wednesday afternoon since the
Nebraska game last Saturday. Every
member of the above mentioned bod
les is in fine physical condition.
with the exception of Solem, who re-
ceiVed an injury to his arm two
weeks ago. Solem has not donaed
the moleskins since the accident
and will probably not appear on the
Gopher gridiron for practice until
some time before the Wisconsin
game. If he improves as in the past
few days he will probably be in
shape to appear in the lineup against
the Badgers Nov. 16.
Sig Harris and John. MeGovern
are bringing their men along in
great shape, and while they have lit
lie opportunity to appear in the lime
light, great credit should be given
them for part of the regulars fine
showing in the last two games.
Long after the electric lamps were
lighted last night, several of the
former Gopher gridiron stars and
Tom Shevlin were on the field Civ
ing what aid they could in the fur
Their development of the team.
Hanschu, one of the promising a.
pirants for Gopher gridiron honors,
has succeeded in clearing himself of
his scholastic difficulties, and will
now be in a position to put up a
good hard fight for one of the end or
tackle jobs. Whether he is able to
make the regular team or not, the
competition that he will put will be
of direct benefit to the team.
Last night twenty-five university
students worked until close to eight
o'clock replacing hay on the gridiron
that had bee nremoved in the
afternoon to make room for DR.. Will
liams and his men. This process
will be repeated nightly until the
game with Wisconsin, when North
rop field will be forsaken for this
season. --.-
IT no injuries overtake the men
now recognized as varsity fixtures,
there is little probability of any ma
terial change in the lineup that
was presented against the Corn
huskers last Saturday. While DR..
| Williams is at work upon a few
more puzzlers for this seasons try
out it is not generally expected that
he will be forced to divulge anything
new in order to keep in front of the
| Iowans on the scoreboard..
1t is reported that a few of the
Iowa plays were dished up to the
regulars last night. Secret practice
is beinging maintained in every pos
sibIe way The players even tho
ineligibles and freshmen, and hay
makers are all wearing wooden ears,
and doing all of their work shout
Northrop Field gridiron with their
| backs turned to the regulars and the
man who is not going to let the least
| possible chance defeat his and the
Gopher's obiective-that Of winning
the conference laurels for the fourth
Ii
straight season.
