Dished Out Yesterday
by Coach Gill.
FIRST BIG GAME
WITH MINNESOTA
To Arrange for Practice
Contest-Number of Old
Stars are Back.

Candidates for the U. N. D. foot
ball team reported again this after
noon for practice. Interest over the
early workout is growing and it is ex-
pected that most of the football men
will be here for work by the end of
the week. Nearly a dozen men re-
ported for the first practice Monday
here today. Coach Gill is greatly
pleased with the showing made so
far. 1t is expected that there will be
about four teams working at the in
stitution this year.
Football men will be we'll taken
care of this year New football togs
have been ordered and there will be
enough suits to fit out nearly fifty
men. Shoes are being furnished by
also.
First Game October 3.
The first big game will be played
against the University of Minnesota
squad Saturday, october 3 and Coach
Gill is going to work his men hard
for the next few weeks to get them
in shape for this, contest. Last year
the Flickertails were beaten bad by
the Minnesota team. but this year 1t
Is expected that much better show
ing will be made. The North Dakota
team was unable to score on the Cop
hers last fall. This year, however,
many are of the opinion that the Cop
her team will have hard time beat
ing North Dakota. The former squad
is very badly Handicapped this year
owing to the eligibility rules and 9TH
er matters. while North Dakota is
better prepared as she has been for
some time.
Light Practice.
The workout Monday and today
consisted of running up and down the
field, passing and falling on. the bal
and kicking practice. After a few
days of this work the men will be ii
good shape and they will then have to
get down and dig every day. AS soor
as possible scrimmage work will be
started.
Plans are now being made to Sc.
cure a training table at the univer.
| sity commons to be used by the mem
bers of the different athletic squads
has not been definitely decided yet, II
lis almost certain that the table will
be installed. sort of training table
has been in use at the institution
every year for some time. but it is
planned to put in real one this year
! and make the athletes adhere strictly
to rules
hdfly t.FdCI1ce Game.
Arrangements will be made for 2
practice game between the university
and Grand Forks high school teams
some time early this season. A game
OF this kind is usually played every
fall and results in much benefit for
both squads. A game like this gives
the coach chance to see the faults
Of his players better than in regular
scrimmage and the players are apt to
go into the game harder.
Mckay. who starred at quarter last
year. Is here for the early practice
and apparently is in tip-top condi-
ton. He showed up exceedingly well
last year and 1t is expected that he
will do some sensational work this
fall He Is especially good in the
kicking department. He had a ball
home with him during the summer
months and practiced kicking consid-
erably. He has improved a great deal
and will no dolbt startle followers of
the game this season by his wicking.
In Good Shape.
Captain Schlosser will be out again
for his old end job. He has played
in that position for the past three
years and will continue there this fail.
Schlosser is in very good shape and is
ready for hard work. He has taken
good care of himself all summer and
ne promises to be one Of the MAIN
stays of the squad again this fall.
Schlosser is one of the most consist
ent players ever seen on North Da-
kota varsity team. He is at all times
using his head in playing the game.
He very seldom makes any very SEN
sational plays, but he always takes
care Of his part of the work in good
shape. Very few plays are ever
known to get around his end.
Lynch Back.

wonderful game at tackle last fall.
