Minnesota Michigan.

\ 1918 football game between the
University of Minnesota and the Uni
versity of Michigan is certainty. ac-
cording to Professor James Paige OF
the faculty athletic committee of the
University of Minnesota. Professor
Paige says that Michigan will be well
coined back with open arms, and but
for the fact that the 1917 football
schedule is full. the Wolverines would
in all probability play against the
Gophers next fall.
In 1909 the two teams met, Michigan
winning, 6 to 0. while in 1910, the VOL
verines again Won Is to 6, in their last
appearance against a western confer
ence eleven.

as the Yankees undoubtedly have the
foundation for a rennant- winning
team.
Last year the Yankees suffered ire
mendously from injuries sustained by
the players on the ball field, and were
effectually put ont of the race by
these same accidents. Joe Gedeon
was sick Tor a month and out of shape
the rest of the time. Roger Peckin-
paugh injured his ankle early in the
year. tired Maisel broke his Shout

Frank Gilhooley, another gardener.
broke leg early in the season. Ray
Fisher slim Love and Baumann
were also afflicted at critical times,
while Leslie Nunamaker, mainstay Of
the catching staff suffered from a
broken hand. Ray Caldwell, normally
one of the best pitchers in the Amer
lean league. fell from grace in June
and was suspended for the rest of the
season. leaving the Yankees with only
three reliable pitchers who could work
their turn day in and day out. In
spite of all these misfortunes, Bill
Donovan kept smile on his face, and
landed the Yanks in fourth place.
Must Do or Die.
Bill Donovan is in the same boat
with Clarence Rowland. in that he is
expected to do or die this year. If
the Yankees don't land among the first
three in 1917. it is very likely that
Donovan will get his walking papers
and go back to the minors. Donovan
was a famous Tiger pitcher for many
years, but six years ago became
minor league manager. In 1914 he
won a pennant for the Providence In
ternational league team and was i'm
mediately accustomed by the Yam
KEGS.

moon.hine, Onions and somnambuIlsm.

an intimate connection between the
moon and fruitfulness, both animal and
vegetable. "Even now," says the New

which come to our city market owe
their excellence to the farmers care
full conjunction of planting time with
the phases Of the moon." Such ideas
have been SO universal that mans un.
conscious mind still preserves them,
though his judgment may scOrn them
as absurd.
Doctor Sadger Of Vienna cites cases
of sOmnambulists who ''under the in
auence Of moonlight are recalled to
times and scenes of active childish
wishes. The moon calls them in deep
sleep to act out dream wishes" The
Medical Journal suggests that the key
to sleep walking and other kindred
disorders of childhood and late life
may be found in moon-lore.
