The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1912-11-14

Continued from first page),
reports Wisconsin has very strong,
fast team, playing straight football
for the most part, and depending
| more upon it's strength and power
than upon it's polish or the variety or
deceptive quality of it's attack. OPP
posed to this will be more varied
attack by Minnesota and the forma-
ton plays for which the Gopher
coach is famous for devising. Had
Tollefson been allowed to remain on
| the team the rooters are of an opin-
ion that Minnesota would have
emerged victorious by a decisive
| score Saturday. His disqualification
! in midseason and the necessity of
breaking in an almost new quarter
| back has hindered Minnesota to some
extent, but from the inside of North
rop field comes word that Hayward
has been progressing in a very salts
factory manner. Saturday though
will tell that story better than train
ing camp gossip filtered through fra
ternity houses and casual visitors.
If all that has been said of Wis
consin is true then the Badgers
should win Saturday by at least twen-
ty-five points. Juneau has had a COL
lection of splendid veterans to start
work with and they have justified
much that has been said of them in
| their preliminary games. Their splen-
did showing though may have been
based more upon the weakness of
their opponents rather than their
own abilities. A strong team always
looks much stronger than it really is
when romping through a straw team.
No one, though, would be so foolish
as to say that Wisconsin is not pos
sessing the best team of recent years
this season, even when subjecting it's
merits to the highest possible rate of
discount.
The Minnesota team though is not
one of weaklings. 1t is still green
beyond any question, but it is made
up of an unusually hard fighting lot
of players and followers of the ma
room and gold believe that Wiscon-
sin will meet it's first real test of the
year when it lines up against Mime
sofa. Most of the Minnesota players.
have been through some rather stiff
fights this year and there should be
little danger of stage fright or
total absence of overconfidence.
In measure Minnesota has all to
win and nothing to lose this season
in the Wisconsin game, and the fight
will probably be contested on that
basis. The rooters are sure to be
we'll satisfied no matter how the final
score may turn if it is hard-foug ht
game, clean and played under the
commonly accepted rules of good
craftsmanship. There are several old
scores to be settled with those Madi-
son folks and the Gophers have all
! the necessary incentive to go in and
fight at top pitch from start to finish.
No matter who wins it is going to be
the greatest game played in the West
this year If the Wisconsin team
grades sixty per cent of the advance
estimates. -

Williams, Professors E. G. Cheyney,
E. NJ Freeman and Captain. Paul To-
bin were the headliners at mass
meeting held in the chapel of the
college or agriculture at noon We'd
nesday. The gathering was arranged
to inspire enthusiasm for the game
Saturday and from the volume of
noise that resulted it seemed as
though the conclave was not in vain.
DR.. Vincent told the crowd, which
taxed the auditorium to it's utmost,
that Minnesota would win big vic
tory, no matter how the tide of bat
tie tUrned Saturday. He said the
team was a credit to the University
and the whole state and deserved the
support of all students. According
to the president, DR.. Williams has
said that the eleven is the best in
