GOPHERS GIVEN
STIFF WORKOUT

Minneapolis, Mimi. Nov. 5.-Minne-
sofa rooters saw their football eleven
at practice for the last time this sea-
son yesterday when the varsity and
freshmen teams staged long, hard
practice on Northrop gridiron with
the gates thrown open to students
and alumni. DIR. H. j.. Williams said
1t would be the last practice the
rooters would get a chance to see this
season as strict secrecy would be in
order next week because of the Wis
consin game November IA. It was
expected that all thHs regulars except
Scion would be in tn. lineup this aft
ernoon.
The Gophers got down to work in
earnest Tuesday afternoon and start
ing nearly an hour earlier than usual
because of the election holiday put in
about three hours Of practice The
work was for the most part on signals
and formations but wound up with a
snappy scrimmage against Sig Harris
hghting freshmen. The offense of the
Gophers drew most attention and they
were given the ball most of the time
during the afternoons workout. II

signal for letup was given by DIR.

the daily work Tuesday because of
remnant Of injuries from the Illinois
contest and Townley, right tackle, al

throughout was spirited and fast and
1t is evident that the Gophers are not
going to let the defeat by Illinois ef-

YOsT JUGGLEs THE
WOLVERINE LINEUP

Ann Arbor. Mich, Nov. 5.-Coach
Yost made his first definite move to-
ward his promised shift yesterday
when he sent Bastian to right half
back in the varsity eleven which he
lined up for long signal drill. The
other two men, Norton and Quail,
whom report has it will be shunted
into the lineup which will start on
Saturday against Pennsylvania, APP
pears again on the second eleven
which the Wolverine coach sent into
a scrimmage with the scrubs.
Catlctt Shows Strong.
incidentally. Catlett, the man whom
many Of the rooters have been picking
as the logical successor to Lyons as
against Bastian, started with surpass-
ing brilliance in the scrimmage yes
terday. He made three of the four
touchdowns scored and as a result of
his showing it is expected that he will
at least be given a chance in the
Penn game even though he does not
start.
Norton and Quail, the two other
recruits who are expected to get into
the Pennsylvania game. were in the
scrimmage yesterday. Quail especially
starred. Dunno, playing at left end for
the big fellows, reeled off a 35-yard
run with forward pass. The favor
able criticism which the work of Nc
Hale caused among the eastern critics
has caused no little wonderment
among the Michigan rooters in view
Of the avowed intention of Yost to
switch this lineman

PARK RIVER FANS
REAL Confident
One Resident Has $500 He
Wants to Lay on Sat-
urday's Battle.

Park River football fans appear to
be fairly confident that their constel-
lation Of gridiron stars will emerge
with the long end Of the score in the
championship contest with Grand
Forks scheduled for Saturday after
noon.
Word was received here yesterday
from one enthusiastic Park Riverite.
that he had $500 which he was willing
to risk on the success of the Walsh
county bunch. Arrangements have
already been made to accommodate
him for large part of the wager. and
1t is probable that the entire amount
will be covered by the time the game
starts Saturday.
o'Keefe continued to put his bunch
OF huskies through O stiff course of
sprouts Wednesday afternoon. The
last hard practice of the season will
be held today.
While the coach isn't making any
extravagant predictions. and realizes
that he has a tough struggle ahead
of him, he admits that Park River
will have to travel some IL it is to stop
the charges Of the Jack Rabbit" and
Tony Lodmell, or block Roy Duggan' s
forward passes.
Roy Carter will also be back in the
game Saturday, and his field general
ship should be large factor in de-
termining the result.

Jack Coombs Has Been Dealt Many
Hard Blows In His Baseball Days

vincible. Binding speed was his when
he chose to use 1t, and with this great
pitching asset he had also control, his
old hooks and everything that once
mad been his but had been lost. In a
word. he was the Coombs of old.
with Plank and Bender, he pitched
the Athletics into the American league
season series with the Cubs for The
championship of the world he ac-
complished the humiliation of the IA
nous Chance machine almost single
handed, pitching and winning three
games in six days.
The following season, 1911, he con-
tinued his good work and by his abil-
ity to work often with little rest be-
tween games perpetuated the title of
iron man." earned in the worlds Sc
ries the year before. But iortune. fic-
kle goddess. soon ceased to lavish her
attentions upon the Kennebunkport,
Maine, hero.
The worlds series of 1911 brought
about his downfall. Just as the title
clash OF q season before had served
to bring him to the fore as one Of the
greatest pitchers of the day, the So
ries with the Giants toppled him in
to the discard. After pitching and
winning the third game, he went back
at the McGrawites in the fifth strug-
gle. The series stood three games to
one in favor Of Philadelphia. and an.
other victory meant the championship
and the end of the series.
Now Mack has asked waivers on
him. along with Bender and Plank.
The latter two sole survivors of the
active "Old Guard" Mackman pitch
ers, both enjoyed large measure of
success last season and no doubt are
far from through. They should be able
to land with other big league teams or
the Federals easily.
But with Coombs it Is different Ac-
cording to Mack, the reason Plank Is
to be let out is because he has q
chance to sign with the Federals for
big salary. Bender's indifference 70
training rules and other restrictions,
as brought to light following his de-
feat by the Braves in the first game
Of the worlds series. probably is the
explanation in his case. Mack evident
ly figures that Bender requires a
change of scenery. On the surface a
strong conviction that Coombs never
will come back" is the only reason
Mack could have for cutting the string
on him.

Caine and Biggs acted as umpire and

Inasmuch as Saturdays game will
decide the intercollegiate champion

hard fought. The Aggies are coming
to the city with a good supply of con-

BY practically the entire student con-

know that none of them will be of
service to the Indianapolis club next
season and the fact that every other
team in the association has waived
on them proves conclusively that they
are not wanted.
"Mr. McGill and both are deter
mined to weed out the players who
have been 'alibing' for their own mis-
takes and to get team that will be
on its toes and fighting all Of next
season. Neither Of us is interested in
whether or not the Federal league
year.
1--WE will endeavor to give the city
a pennant-winning team in the asso-
citation, something it has not enjoyed
since 1908, and to this end we are de-
termined to build up. The best way
to build up, I have found, Is to let
go Of the men who have been mill
stones around our necks in times past:
While each of the players on whom I
have obtained waivers has merit, the
merit each possesses is not of asso-
citation class. Therefore am making
efforts to get rid of them. The Fed
eral league, or any other organization
in this country, is welcome to do busi-
ness with any one or all of them"
Manager Hendricks will attend the
Omaha meeting of the minor league
owners, set for November 10 to IL, in

poets to make deals that will give him

Jack Coombs is through.


This would seem to be the only log
lea! inference to be drawn from the
action of the Athletics in asking wal
vers on the once iron man" of its
pitching staff. Manager Connie Mack
admits that he is desirous of giving
Coombs his unconditional release. The
asking of waivers Is a mere formal
ity that must precede such action.
Coombs is to take his place with
those who used to be-
The Colby graduate can lay claim
to the hard luck championship of
baseball. There is no one to dispute
his right to the title. Red Ames and
his famous double-dyed jinx fail to
compare with Coombs and his nem-
eSis. -
Coombs' baseball career has been a
hard struggle from beginning to end,
and the short stretch Of glory that he
encountered in the midst of his en-
deaVOrs was altogether too brief to
make the game worth the candle to
him. At the height of his fame his
bright dreams of the future were sud-
denly dashed to the ground by inju-
ries and sickness that made him unfit
physically to continue in the game.
Only occasionally is his name men
toned in baseballdom now. where two
or three years ago it was almost a
household word.
Coombs Joined the Athletics in
1906 after four successful years on the
Colby college team. He sprang into
the limelight almost instantly by win
ming 24-inning game from Boston.
This success, however, was short-lived,
for he soon lost form and his work
fell away to such an extent that he
was in danger of being let out. He
managed to stick through the next
few seasons. though, more through
his hitting than his pitching.
Tried in Outfield.
For one whole season Connie Mack
tried to make an outtielder of him. In
this capacity the team would have had
the full benefit of his hard hitting
ability. But Coombs was only an or
tinary outfielder and again his con-
nection with the teams payroll
threatened to be cut.
Once more he STAYED off Col. Jinx.
Working himself slowly but steadily
back into the shape that had won him
his chance while at Colby, he sudden

Of the problems to confront the mo-

Johnson. Violation of the golden rule
which requires absolute secrecy in the

the league executive has the right to
discontinue the service of further
bulletins dwelling on waivers to the
individual who committed the breach
Of confidence.

scare them SO that he could sign them
at his own terms are mistaken. Mack
said yesterday that the three pitchers
would never again appear in Athletic
uniforms. Mack didn't give the full
secret away for his sudden feeling OF
d1spleasure toward the three veterans,
put he did say that the reasons for his
action were different in each case.
The tall tutor declared emphatical-
ly that he did not believe that either
pitcher had outlived his usefulness.
Mack. In closing. made a significant
remark when he said:
II don't want one man on the team
who Is not for the club. That goes
