Uncle Sam Turning: Out Million
Dollars Worth of $3.50 ::
Gold Coins:

DENVER, Nov. 19-Uncle Sam is
busy in Denver turning out the larg-
est order of Christmas presents man.
ufactured in the nation. No factory
in the United States will manufacture
Christmas produce of greater value
than will the government in Denver
this fall.
So great is the ruch for Uncle
Sans Christmas gifts that he has
been at work for some time preparing
them and will continue to work until
the holidays.
The particular gift to which he is
turning his energies is money. Al
ways before Christmas there is de-
mand from all parts of the nation for
gold coin for presents and the Den
yer mint has been selected to supply
the entire output for the Middlewest,
East and South.
One million dollars worth of two
and one-half dollar gold pieces are be-
ing coined at the mint. These are dis
tinctly Christmas coins. Always be-
fore the holidays there is a heavy de-
mand for them. And after Christmas
they drift back to the banks and sub
treasures and only a few remain in
circulation.
Tie order is the second in that de-
nomination which the Denver mint
has filed and the local mint will be
the only one this year to coin gold in
this denomination. The coins are the
most difficult to handle Of all those
turned out by the government. They
are smaller than pennies, yet their
value is so high that great pains must
be taken with them.
After the 100000 pieces in the order
have been coined they will be sold to
banks and individuals and shipped to
sub-treasuries to supply the Christ
mas demand.
The mint will also coin 5, 10 and 20
dollar gold pieces before the holidays.

Assistant Coach at Chicago Re.

Improved Machine.

CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-With the IL
linois game ancient history, the Mar
oons buckled down to renewed efforts
yesterday. Assistant Coach Pat Page
who saw the Minnesota Wisconsin
game, told the Maroons that there
would have to be some tall hustling
before the Midway squad could enter
tain any hopes Of beating the Gophers
t. Saturday.

dously since the Illinois game, and Ii

open formation tricks. They were
strong in forward passes"

Verbal broadsides still are being ex
changed between the Chicago and ILL

Touchdown Dispute RACES.
= Pogue's disputed touchdown in thu
battle between the Illini and the Ma
rooms is likely to become historic. Stu
dents at the State University feel ag
grieved over the fact that the victory
of the team should be questioned
while the University Of Chicago critics
stand by their guns, asserting that tht
seven points scored by Pogue changed
the entire aspect of the game.
Stage Starts 1t.
The argument got under Roadway
through Coach Stages interview after
the game, in which the Maroon men
Der asserted that Macomber had beer
tackled and stopped with the ball If
his possession and consequently
should have been called down. lr
the meantime others have injected two
forward passes into the play, but this
is not part Of the argument on the
Midway. With Coach Stage it is sim
ply question of down" before
Pogue slid over the line with the pig
skin.
Arthur Benbrook, who umpired in
the game, said as the play was not ul
to him it would not be proper for him
to comment on it.
Hackett in No Doubt.
"Referee Hackett undoubtedly was
certain of his position" said Benbrook.
''as he did not even ask my opinion
about it at the time. At best it was
close play, and it was simply ques
ton of judgment whether or not the
man with the ball was stopped mo.
mentarily.". As to two forward passe
in the same play, there was nothing
to that. Mr.. Hackett unquestionably
called the play as he saw it,"

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 10
Harvard undergraduates and gradu-
ates are busy with preparations for
the trip to New Haven to watch the
football game with Yale next Satur-
day. 1t is expected that the throng
will be the largest that ever has trav-
eled to Connecticut for the classic
football contest.
Part of the team will leave Cam
bridge Thursday morning and will run
through light practice in the after
noon. Thursday night they will 60 to
New London, where they will be join
ed by the rest of the squad Friday
morning.
Much of Harvard's preparation this
week for the football game with Yale
will be given over to defense against
the lateral pass. This was learned
Yesterday when Coach Haughton spent
many minutes in blackboard talk to
the Harvard squad in which he an
alyzed the features Of Yale's attack
as shown in the game with Princeton
Saturday.
The varsity took part in dummy
scrimmage today, working both on the
offense and defense against the Sec

in the backfield, with the "subs," was
active most of the afternoon and kick
ed several field goals. Final word or

ALRERT LEA SHOCKED
WHEN STRANGER MAILS
DYNAMITE BY POST

ALBERT LEA, Mimi, Nov. 19-By
a chance inquiry of Deputy Postmast-
er Hopperstad as to the contents of
parcel post package, mailed here to-
day, the postoffice building and ten or
more clerks and carriers may have
been saved from being blown to pieces.
Shortly after the office opened a
stranger appeared with box ad-
dressed to a man at Chenille, Mimi.
Mr.. Hopperstad weighed the package
and stamped it and was about to toss
it over on the mailing table, some
eight feet distance, when his guardian
angel prompted him to ask the strang-
err what the package contained. "Dy-
aamite," serenely replied the man. On
examination the package was found
to contain Is sticks. When questioned
the stranger said he had purchased
the explosive in Albert Lea, and not
caring to have it in his possession,
decided to send it by parcel post.

SQUAD THIS YEAR

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 19.-Captain
Boleslaus Rosenthal has much at
stake in the game next Saturday at
Chicago when the Gophers tackle the
Maroons on Stage field. 1t will be
the captains last game with the Min
nesota eleven and will find him in con-
hict with Des Jardien, the only man
who stands between him and an all
western and possibly an all-Ameriean
center selection. Joe Diedrich is the
only other Gopher regular who will be
out in Minnesota toys for the last
time Art Erdall has probably played
his last game, for it is very doubtful
that he will get chance to play at
Chicago because Of injuries. All three
Of these players will be lost to the
team next year. Erdall has played his
third season, Rosenthal graduates and
Diedrich is senior.
Other members of the varsity squad
who are on their last week Of football
at Minnesota are Fegan, senior;
Mundy, senior; Morse, a senior; Lit
lie, playing his third year Of football,
having played at Hamline, and Parent,
who will not be back next fall.
All the rest of the present Gopher
eligibles will be back next fall unless
some sort of an unforeseen catastrophe
strikes the Gopher camp before that
lime and in addition will be some Of
he fastest players who have ever
turned out on the freshman team. The
players who will be out for football
next year are:
Haedge one more year in the game,
having played one year on the st.
Thomas college eleven; Scion, one
more year; Scholtes, two years; Dun
nigan, one year; Townley, one year;
Quist, two years; Townley, one year:
Hermann, one year; Rafferty,, one

The team practised yesterday in the

game and it is likely that some time
will be spent in scrimmage tonight. A

night and the players took much COM

That the Algonquin Indians came

the North American Indians were

SPORT GOSSIP
(By ]. II. .Ritchie.)
A Hunch for Michigan.

Johnny Maulbetsch, Michigan's driv-
ing halfback, came into prominence
the prints by reason of his perfor-
nance on the gridiron. Said perfor-
nance, it seems, was based upon the
consumption of two home-baked pies
per day. 1t would seem incumbent upon
Phil Baritone to engage Mother Maui
etsch to do all Of the cooking for
he Wolverine team next fall. If one
aan, on two pies per day, could &C
omplish what Maulbetsch did this
ear, it is amazing to contemplate
that a whole squad might do on the
Jane sort of diet.

NOT THE SAME SWEET ALICE

In Modern Maid. -.

Oh, don't you remember sweet Alice,
Ben Bolt, when her hair was q beau
tiful brown? You never in the world
would know her as she looks today

rosebuds ard p.2k ribbon ties.
Sweet Alice is now on the stage,
Ben Bolt; she began at the end of the
row. She smiled with delight ut the
public each night, and now she's the
hit Of the show. She dances a tango
that sets them a-whirl. with a DIP and
q kick and glide. You'd never be-
lieve twas the Same little girl that the
song wrongly stated had died.
She's a cigarette case on the end of
a chain, where the old fashioned one
wore q fan; has q nat and q maid and
Pomeranian pup; her motor is olive

opened fire on the chief with a shot
