three Of the midway college elevens,
Manchester, Hamline and st. Thomas
will engage in hard gridiron battles
this week. The Manchester eleven
faces the hardest game of the season
in its struggle with Carleton Satur-
day. The game has a strong bearing
on'the state championship. The Carl

scores on its opponents SO far this sea-

in preparation for the bout. The
squad is in good physical shape.
Hamline. with its line in a state OF

nesota Aggies. The Aggies team
proved a hard nut for Manchester to
crack last Saturday and with another
weeks work is expected to push the
Hamline machine to the limit. Sweit-

in the Hamline defense all fall but

critics as good as any ground gamers
in tho central states.
Smith considered this material in
this part OF the ountry as good as
that anywhere, but believes the COACH
ing Of the Last il moro thorough.
The Western coach has more to
do. says Smith. 1T is exceptional for
him to have more than two assistant
coaches. Then. with less than a fort
night at the beginning of the season
to prepare for his opening contest he
cannot devote as much time to ele-
mentals as an Eastern coach. AS a
consequence play is crude and with
games of Importance following each
other as rapidly as they do here ON
missions Of the first month rarely r
rectified later.
Il consider this seasons Purdue
team superior to any Cornell eleven 1
have ever seen play and fully as good
as any that has represented Pennsyl-
vania. This does not mean think
think their work is as polished, for I
do not.
"In the East the first month Of the
season is devoted entirely to element
al football; Eastern coaches seldom
gives their men anything of an at
tack until mid-October. The early
work is drill for defense and each
man comes in for individual attention.
The system in the Central states
makes this sort of coaching hardly
practicable.
The majority Of Eastern stars are
coach-made men; the Westerners are
natural stars, but are Handicapped by
lack of fundamental coaching and in.
dividual attention. This lack is re-
sponsible for comparatively few West
ern men being chosen on the All
American e%levens."

BEAT FARGO IS
PLAYERS SLOGAN
Grand Forks High Working
Overtime to Prepare for
the Big Games.

Beat Fargo" is the slogan with
which the Grand Forks high school
gridiron warriors are training for the
game with their old rivals which is
to be played next Saturday.
The boys believe they have a good
chance to win both games and are de-
tcrmined to make every effort posi-
bic to clinch their title to the state
championship.
The Fargo team is reported to be
heavy and probably will outweigh
Grand Forks t a considerable extent.
II since the game with Minot last
week the boys have lost any fear
which they may have previously en-
tertained regarding mere weight, and
believe that their speed and team play
will more than make up for their dis
crepancy in avoirdupois.
Only a short practice was held
Tuesday afternoon on account of the
inclemancy of the weather. Coach
O'keefe not caring to take chances Of
pneumonia with any of his men
The new plays which have been
planned by the coach for the Fargo
contest are coming along we'll, and
will probably be used with telling eff
feet.
1t is probable that the same lineup
will be used against Fargo that was
used in the MinOt game.
