CHICAGO MEN
WILL Be NUMBERED

Chicago, Nov. 20.-Chicago's mar
IONS lined UP yesterday afternoon in
their last preliminary scrimmage be-
fore the Wisconsin game Of next Sat-
urday. The drill was brief and main
~ a signal practice, for the opposl-
ton Of the scrubs was not strenuous
in the few minutes they faced the var
sity.
Both Des Jardien and Schulz were
in the lineup. and though the latter
limped a bit, it is more than likely
that both will take part in the cru
cial struggle next Saturday.
A dearth Of admission tickets faced
would-be purchasers yesterday.
Not one was to be found,
and 1t was charged on the
midway that scalpers controlled
those not held by spectators. These
thousand tickets, 1t was reported, a
reached hands of the spectators,
among whom were said to be a nuIn-
Der Of students.
To accommodate some Of those dis
in their efforts to get tick
cts, bleachers capable Of seating 1000
persons were ordered built, and work
began on them yesterday afternoon.
Arrangements to number the Chi
players were made. Each of the
men will wear a large figure on his
jersey, which will correspond to one
opposite his name on the programme.

READY TO
TEAR UP ILLINOIS

Minneapolis, Nov. 21.--Full Of hope
against Illinois, tWenty-e eight Mime.
sofa football players left last night
for Chicago, where they will remain
until Saturday morning. They were
accompanied by Coach Harry L. Will
liams and Assistant Coaches Harris
paign Saturday forenoon.
When the train left here at 1855 DR..
Williams expected that all the regu-
lars would be in the coming game ex-
cepting Captain AldWorth. Rosen-
thai, who was out of last Saturdays
contest, will be at right guard and
Illinois will find the line a little
heavier than did Chicago. Smarting
from some Of the criticisms Of the
past week, Gopher enthusiasts expect
the whole team will start fighting
from the first and a real football game
to be staged.
Tollefson n Lawler are still con-
testing for the quarterback position,
but before the train left DIR. Williams
intimated that the former would prob
ably be in line, at least at the start.
It Is expected, however, that Lawler
Will play at least two quarters. The
Little Turk" is one of the lightest
men who ever played on a Minnesota
team, but his swiftness and fighting,
ability have won a large number Of
admirers, all anxious to see him in
Saturdays lineup.

enthusiasts were at the train when
it departed and the players were Civ
en- their usual noisy farewell.

WISCONSIN TEAM
FIT FOR STRUGGLE

Madison, Wis, Nov. 21.-Every man
On the squad was in fit condition and
ready for the game Of his life when
the final football practice Of the year
was completed yesterday by the Uni
versity of Wisconsin team. The squad
was put through a long course Of
secret signal work, with little in the
way of scrimmage. and none of the
players has any injury worse than q.
bruise. Twenty-seven men will COM
prise the squad which goes to Chi
cago. The first men, those with first
call on regular positions, will leave
Friday morning for Chicago, n will
have a fnal signal practive in Chi
cagO Friday afternoon, to take out
travel stiffness, and keep them up to
the mark for the game Saturday. The
rest Of the squad will go In the aft
ernoon. Although odds are 2 to I on
Chicago, Wisconsin supporters think
they have better than an even chance
Of victory. The Badgers with two
weeks rest will have the advantage
over the Chicago players, bruised by
their game against the husky Mime
sofa eleven last week.

The Grand.

Comrades, is the play at the Grand
theatre which will be produced the re-
mainder Of the week. 1t is a comedy
drama in four acts, the story of which
deals with a poet and a musician who
are close friends. They both fall In
love with the same girl, Marguerite,
which part is taken in a most. charm
ing manner by Miss Ollie Eaton, the
new leading lady with the Grand
Stock Co.
Those who have not seen Miss Eat
on should do so in this splendid little
play, Comrades, as she made a ire
mendous hit at the performance last
evening. Miss Irene Jeavons, also a.,
leading lady, plays another important
role, which she does in an able man+
ner. The work of E. l.. Beach deserves
special mention. He played the part

IMPRESSIONS
OF LONDON

A letter was received by Fargo
friends today from Arrow Embertson,
kid Fargo" who wrote from London,
where he hopes to arrange some bouts
with English fighters. He fought LIE"
Ryan in Minneapolis to a six round
draw on May "a. He a y he does not
care to fight in England until he be-
comes somewhat acclimated.
His impressions of London and the
English are not particularly favorable,
and he says that London is too con
gested for pleasant living.
He states that he met former Mayor
Sweet in Montreal, and Bud Bernstein
of Fargo, also. Mayor Sweet was
starting on a trip abroad.
English girls do not appeal to him
so strongly as do American girls, but
he says Montreal is more fortunate In
that respect.
The English people esteem them
selves too highly, he thinks, and, to
quote him, they think they are the
only nation on the globe"
He does not say when he will re-
u to the United States, and he
probably plans to remain abroad for
some time yet.

THE THEATRES
The Orpheum.

The bill at the theatre the last three
days Of the week is one of keen Inter-

an entire feature programme. The
Gregory's, The Ozark Folks, are ar
fists in their line of singing and
whistling comicry, and their enter
tainment was enjoyed to the utmost
by a packed house last evening.
Another real artist is Miss Delphine
Warner, the singing and change ar
fist. Miss. Warner sings four or five
songs which are catchy and up to date,
n special mention should be made
Of her costumes which are beautiful.
A sketch Is presented by MI. and
Mrs. Jack Golden which is good,
while the most clever act on the bill Is
Delthin & Delmora, European comedy
artists, who give a novel musicale act.
Only those who see this act can ap-
preciate it as it is one of the MOST
clever acts ever produced at the Or
pheum theatre. Miss Billy Hodge,

Against English Rowing Methods.

Against English Rowing Mstheds.
Captain Denegre Of the Yale rowing
squad will in a few days make formal
announcement Of what is to become Of
the English coaching methods. Ever
since the defeat Of the Yale crew by
Princeton on Lake Carnegie there has
been q storm of protests against the
English stroke from undergraduates
and graduates. So strong has become
the demand for a change that the row.
ing authorities had to take the matter
under consideration.
The Yale Alumni Weekly says i'm
part:
1T is a condition. not a theory, that
today c%onfronts Yale rowing. The
whole purpose Of the graduate coach
ing movement was to bring the gradu~
ates and undergraduates into co-opera-
tive relation in the rebuilding of a Yale
school Of rowing. This has not worked
out as had been expected, but that
some way can be found in which it can
work out we believe is still possible.
I'm rowing, as in baseball and foot
bali, a permanent resident coach may
be looked for, and If this coach a be
a graduate Of the university so much
the better"
