easy victory and consequently are

The team has only gone through
light signal practice so far and so this

that they will be in perfect shape for

couple of weeks more to develop the

Do YOU remember John Willie. the

1t was but a year ago that Willie de-

ANXIOUS To GET
HIS MEN At WORK
DR.. Williams Optimistic as to
Showing to be Made by
Football Men.

St. Paul. Sept. 17.-Dr. Harry L.
Williams. coach Of the University of
Minnesota eleven, is anxiously await
ing the approach Of Friday Of this
week which is indicated as September
20 o nthe calendar, when the first
practice of the Big Eight confer
ence football teams will begin. While
not given to statement making, DR..
Williams said yesterday that he had
never approached a year Of football
with greater interest, though he ad-
mits he hasn't the most promising
material of his career.
Manager Helon Leach is busy get
ting the gridiron toys in shape while
ed and the goal posts brought ten
yards nearer together.
Already practice has started at YER
million n there is no telling what
new stunts may be developed in a
short time. On the field the new
rules may develop an attack which
even the veteran analizer Of the. game
could not imagine. Second teams with
new plays. carefully drilled, always
take their first team opponents off
their feet when they are tried out and
there Is, OF course. a possibility Of
even a defeat at Northrop field when
the Coyotes herd in town.
Another thing that will bother Will
liams is the fact that he has yet to
organize his eleven. While he is pretty
sure to know just about what his
men r capable of. they will be I'M
der 1912 fire for the nrst time and
qualities will probably develop which
will cause many changes to be made.
From the Spectators standpoint the
first game will be as interesting as
the very last game Of the season and
Manager Helon Leach predicts that
there will be a real crowd at the op-
ening contest.
Chicago. Wisconsin, Illinois. Indi-
ana, Pardue. Iowa and Northwestern
are the present big Eight" men,
bers besides Minnesota. Ohio State
has been admitted. to become a full
fledged member next year. so that it
will then be a big Nine" Minnesota

NEXT

With tho new material working
we'll and the old boys getting into
practice in good shape. an effort is
being made by Grand Forks to ar
range a game between the Grand
Forks and Crookston high schools, at
C%rooks:on next Saturday afternoon.
Word from the Minnesota city is ex-
peC:cd this afternoon.
While no set schedule has been ar.
ranged for the season. the Grand
Forks high will undoubtedly have at
least six good games. Two battles
will probably he arranged with the
Fargo high. n with Grafton, one
with Minot and possibly two with
Crookston. No effort will be made
to take on Devils Lake this year az
the team, representing the high of that

not be booked for a contest this fall.

strikes are called on the lustiest
clouter on Jake Stahl's staff. Not
much chance now.

In an instant this one chance in a

Speaker picks out the next pitch and
smears 1t against the left field wall.

fans began to fear that after all the
home team might not score. They
looked to see Speaker resort to des-
perate measures to each home with
the lone tally that meant so much
to the club, the fans-and Joe Wood.
Their eyes followed every move on
his part; they expected to see him
attempt to pilfer third.
But he did not need to. Like Speak
err before him. Lewis landed on the
ball for two bases after being in the
hole with two strikes. That hit
brought home the mighty iris. Only
a run margin for Wood to work
on. but 1t was enough. He pitched
as he lever pitched before, and won
his game.
In the ninth inning he opened up
by getting whaled for a hot single by
Laporte. Moran sacrificed Laporte
to second, but Wood famed both
Mcbride and Ainsmith In a row, and
finished the game.
Wood. while he does not look the
part. is nearly six feet tall and weighs
100 pounds. He is the most graceful
pitcher in the American league. and
"Giant killer" in all the comine worlds
series.

FAIR FOR FANS.

ners of the American league race, the
o%ficials of the club are doping out a
milton for reserved seats during the
worlds series games. scheduled in the
Hub between the Sox and the New,

Davis. planned that the fan sending in
the most rain checks with his ap-
plication for reservation would get the
first chance Of selecting his seats. The
Hub officials Of the ball club are plan

idea and gives the most faithful fan
an opportunity he is worthy of. This
