GOPHERS RUNNING WILD.
Minnesota Eleven Is Classed az Best
In Middle West

"'''''eSoea ELEVEN is CtaSSed a6 Best
In Middle West.
Though the conference season is not
nearly over. middle western critics are
already %conceding the football cham
plonshlp OF their section to the Uni
versity Of Minnesota and speculating
only as to the size of the point total
that Will represent the Gophers' 1916
activities on the sridiron. 4 strong
team in comparatively weak company.
Or. Harry Williams ensemble stands
out head and shoulders above every ri
val in the west.
The Gophers have scored more points
than In any previous season since the
conference colleges adopted their seven
game limit.
AT the opening of the conference sea-
son a little yer Il month ago MinnesO-
ia was regarded as Il strong team and
probable championship contender, but
was rated no higher than Chicago,
Wisconsin or Illinois. Since then. how
ever, they have developed Il faculty
for running through or around all op-
position that has made all other title
claimants look wofully weak in com
p%arison. They haven't a weak spot in
their line, so far as can be Judged by
many experts. and their backs are ter
rife plungcrs. The forward pass com
bination of Wyman to Baston is now
recognized as the best in the west, and
Kingsley and Flynn, a pair of substi-
tutes, are scarcely less adept in their
manipulation Of the play.
Following the western custom, the
Gophers specialize in long heaves,
passes of thirty-fve or forty yards.
Wyman and Baston worked three for
an aggregate gain of 115 yards against
Iowa recently, and Kingsley and Flynn
completed one that carried thirty yards
and was followed by a twenty yard
dash to a touchdown. Wyman's direc-
ton while shooting the ball is said to
be almost uncanny in its %unvarying
to jump three or four feet in the air to
spear q pass.
Williams is playing Buckley and
Captain BastOn on the ends. HauScr
and Townley at tackle, Ecklund and
Sinclair at guard. II. G. Hanson at CEN
ter, Long at quarterback. Hal Hansen
and Sprafka at the halves and Wyman
ut fullback. Sprafka is rated the most
powerful line plunger in the west, Hal
Hansen and Wyman are brilliant per
formers on off tackle plays, and Shorty
Long. in addition to being quite consid-
cradle Of a field general. is a sensa-
tional runner through a broken field
or around the ends.

A RIDE ON THE PILOT.
e Was Too Exciting q Railroad Trip b
Be Repeated I


An eastern man was riding by rail
through the Rocky mountains. A
friend had told him about riding on
the pilot Of the engine through some
grand mountain scenery. and the east
erner was eager to have the same ex-
p%erience. At the first opportunity.
therefore, be asked the conductor
whether his friends and he could ride
on the front Of the engine. The con-3
ductor very promptly said they could
not. Nothing but a permit from the
superintendent of the line would en-
title any one to such q privilege. AS
the superintendent was a thousand
miles away, 1t seemed a hopeless case.
The easterner spoke Of his disap-
pointment to the Pullman conductor.
who told him that perhaps the affair
could be managed after all. Through
his diplomacy 1t was arranged same.
how or other, and at the next Station
four of the party. including two la,ies,
took their places OIL the pilot.
The scenery was some Of the grand
est in the new world. but the easterner
could not enjoy it. The two slender
rails in front held his gaze with a sort
of horrible spell. He could not look
away from them, He felt almost the
same sense Of insecurity and terror
that a man would feel if he were sud-
denly whirled off into infinite space.
Suddenly, as the train rounded Il
curve, he saw a hand car on the track
ahead. His companions saw it at the
same instant. \. man stood beside it
and was making desperate efforts to
remove it from the rails. He got the
wheels Off; then, as the engine bore
down upon him. he fed.
The engineer did not see the hand
car at once, he was at the moment
looking at his gauges. When he did
see it it was too late for him to check
the speed of the train. He could only
look on.
The hand car was on the side of the
track nearest the MAI from the east.
He had an awful half minute. He
rose to his feet, not knowing what he
did, and leaned far ove in front of the
others. His eyes were riveted upon
the hand car. He saw nothing. realiz-
ed nothing except its approach.
The engine struck the hand car with
terrific force. and the pilot lifted it
from the rails. 1t rolled up, ground
against the very place where the east
erner had been sitting, plowed a deep
groove In the ironwork and hen top
pied vcr at the side Of the track.
The frightened engineer set the
brakes and brought the train to a
%standstill. Not M Of the party was
even touched, but they had had
enough riding on the pilot. And, in
deed, it was the end OF such riding
for others. From that time all such
trips We're strictly forbidden.
1t was two years before the man
from the east could see a hand car
even standing harmlessly beside a rail-
way track without turning faint and
dizzy.-Youth's Companion.

American league averages SO times.

ut bat for every major league player in

"IIaving reached these figures. | then
found that To bat $50 in 100 anne a

said Temple. ~ go batter will make
81 hits in every 100 games. That
shows a difference of thirty-six hits in
every 100 games between q $50 and a

''lhcrrforc it can be seen readily
