the exception of Torson, who has had
but one years experience.
Particular attention has been given
in the coaching this week to the
WahpetOn style of ~offense. Coach
Watkins has the men we'll versed on
the secondary Defence, in .anticipa-
ton of their using open field plays.
A long si2nal practice was the pro-
gramme last night, followed by a
ghost BALI practice in the dark.
Secret practice has occurred nearly
every evening this week.
No pains have been spared to secure
competent officials for the fray. Ed
Shave, a former Minnesota star, will
handle the whistle. Seth Richardson,
the we'll known lawyer, and former
athlete, will officiate as umpire. with
Coach Hitler of Moorhead normal as
head linesman.
Fargo college is not at all over
optimistic in predicting the outcome
Of Saturdays game. In an interview
this morning Coach Watkins had this
to say: Il have worked the men
overtime for this game. 1 know the
boys will put up a hard fight, and
will ably represent the college. l do
not know their real strength as yet,
but I am looking for a grand old bat
dispensers are dishing the big score
to the visitors"
The managers announced this morn
ing that no automobiles would be al
lowed on the playing field. A place
viii be reserved on the road at the
south side, overlooking the gridiron.
The bleacher entrance will be al the
southwest corner, the reserved ticket
booth at the south central entrance.

The football enthusiasts of this city
are waking up to the fact that Wah-
peton Science can finnish real whole
some amusement in the football show
of this state. Hitherto the research
men may have been strong on the
microscope of college life, out have
not exactly terrified the aspirants for
the football championship rag Of late.
Far be it from such this year! The
gritty scrappers from UP the river
have set to work to clean up their
northern neighbors, and so far have
scared the life out of them. With the
best team in their history they are
coming to town Saturday with half
their citizens and a fO~rty-pieCe band,
If reports are true. The visitors will
arrive Saturday morning, and will
make the Waldorf their headquarters.
The convenience and style of the
stadium will be a revelation to the
sport lovers of Fargo, who will use 1t
for the first time Saturday. No one
will be allowed on the north side of
the playing field except the visiting
team n substitutes. On the south
side where the bleachers and grand
stand are located, no one will be al
lowed within fifty feet Of the side line,
so that anyone holding a seat in the
grandstand, or on the slope of the hill
Will be able to see everything that Is
going on in the field Of play.
The entrances to the stand will be
at the south end of the west wall. and
on the south side of the field in front

Expatriated by Nal de Mer.

There is tragedy in the attempts
made to solve the problem Of seasick-
ness by the late Mr.. William Louis
Winans. the millionaire, who was an
involuntary exile in England for the
last twenty-seven years Of his life. He
was at heart an American citizen, but
his doctors warned him that a voyage
across the Atlantic. with the probabili-
ty Of s~easickness, would be fatal to
him. So he devoted the rest of his life
to designing a vessel in which he could
safely travel to America. But the
fates were against him. and his inven-
ton " got further than the shelves

reported that the reserved section has
been enlarged for the comfort of those
who were SO loyal as to make dona-
tions for%he stadium.
The Dope.
The f. c. lineup is extremely un-
certain. No one knows who will have
the first chance to p1ow the pigskin
through the line. or what style Of play
will be used. 1t is probable, that the
same men will start that did al
Jamestown. The choice will be made
from the following classified names:
Rolf. Flaten, Crandall, center; Colby,
DrummOnd and Murray, at ends:
Carpenter. Simms, Ivazian, at tackle:
Ray, 1Vazian. Nelson, or Ecker, at
guards: Boise. Rusch. or Weum, at
quarter: Torson, Nelson. Boise,
Drummond, or Weum. at the back
field jobs.
Captain Stickney has been out for
practice for two weeks, and is fast
rounding into shape. His broken arm
is knitted, and has been gently petted
by the sturdy captain Of the squad.
Several evenings ago the injured arm
sustained another slight bump, which
was the result of a tumble at the end
Of the long run following scrimmage.
Should Stickney be needed it is pos
sible that he will slip in for awhile,
although it is out of the question un-
less absolutely necessary.
Wahpeton is steady, composed of
veterans, who are well versed in open
field work, with asst men to carry the
passes.
Fargo's real strength and weak
nesses are not as yet known. The
lack Of material on the hill has pre-
vented strenuous scrimmage to some
extent, and everything is rather un-
certain. The back field is new with

Here was an old story to the report
