GOPHERS WILL
OPEN SEASON
ON SATURDAY
South Dakota State Will
Be Opponent Three
~1 Home Games

Minneapolis. Mimi, Oct. 11.-Minne-
sofa will play the first of her three
games on the home gridiron next Sat-
day, with one of the smallest squads
of eligibles DR.. H. l. Williams has
ever had to work with. Prof. James
Paige announced Wednesday that, up
to date only fifteen players had been
examined by the eligibility committee
and that another meeting is being
held for further investigation of
the scholastic and amateur standing
of the candidates for the varsity
team. 1t is more than likely several
of the candidates for the first team
at a Minnesota will not have been
given clearance in time for the con-
test with South Dakota State college
Saturday. At any rate it is certain the
squad before the Indiana game Oct. 20
will be larger than the one working
for the contest this week.
But Three Home Games.
Minnesota has. only three home
games this year. because of the ex-
tremely late opening of the school
year. Oct. 10 the Gophers meet the
Bookings, S. D., eleven. Oct. 20 they
will play Indiana and Nov. IL the
eleven will play Chicago. This is one
of the highest, IL not the highest
home schedule Minnesota has ever
had.
Away. from home games will be
with Wisconsin at Madison Nov. 3 and
Illinois at Urbana Nov. "a. The way.
the schedule is arranged Minnesota
rooters will have a chance to see the
team next Saturday, again Oct. 20 and
then not again until Nov. La in the
Chicago game, almost a month.

NO new PRESIDENT Is
PICKED FOR UNIVERSITY
Board of Regents and Faculty Corn
mittee Meet Without Making
Decision.

Grand Forks. N. D., Oct. 1.-THE
state board of regents did not pick a
new president for the University Of
North Dakota at the meeting held
here with the committee Of the fac
ulty Of the institution the fore part
Of this week.
It is now likely that no choice will
be made on the new president of the
university until the regular scheduled
meeting Of the board of regents is
held in Bismarck on Oct. 80.
The presidency was recently vacat-
ed by DR.. Frank L. McVey, when he
was elected president Of the Univer-
sity OF Kentucky.
DR.. McVey is spending this week
in Grand Forks, closing his work. He
was the guest of honor at joint
reception rendered by the people of
the city and by the faculty OF the
university last evening.

After being trounced by Johnny

the middleweight, still was an idol OF
the Australian boxing fans. This was
borne out by the fact that 10000 per-
sons attended his funeral. According
to a copy Of The Daily Mercury, pub
lished in Maitland, New South Wales,
where Darcy was born and raised. no
other man in Australia was accorded
greater honors. The Antipodes pub

John F. OLaughlin is on his
way to France. by way of New
York, is the news contained in a
telegram received by his mother.
Mrs. d. F. O'Laughlin, MoOThead,
Wednesday night.
The young man had finished
his course in the aviation school
at Austin. Texas. as one of the
honor men. and he hoped to come
home for a short furlouEh but
was allowed only one weeks
leave. II was his plan then to go
to Houston. where he had been
invited to attend a house party,
but the order across cut of his
leave and he IS now on his way
10 New York.
A letter received from him
early this week indicated Egypt
as his probable destination for
the flying courses: as several
other men Of the school were sent
there last week.
The change pleases Jack,
who was formerly a member Of
Company b. Of Fargo, as he has
been very anxious to get into the
game on the other side of the
water.

Benny Leonard, the lightweight
king, who is of Jewish parentage,
tells this one: "0ne night just as !
was about to leave the house for a
contest in. which was to fgure, one
of my boy friends came in to visit me.
Good luck, Benny he called, as was
going away. And don't forget to
bring home the bacon My. father,
who is something of a humorist, look
ed up from the paper he was reading
and said: Nix, nix, Benny. Don't
bring any bacon into this house. II

Even though the Louisville Colonels
did not win the American association
pennant they are consoled 10 think
that they piled up a pretty record
For example, in their seasons games
with the Indianapolis Indians they
won fifteen out of Twenty-Five ana
broke even or. better with every club
in the league. That's a better show
ing I'm this respect than any other
team in the league was able to make.
Tough luck with the tailenders, the
Toledo Mudhens, is one reason why
the Colonies failed to grab the PEN
nant, or so they say. Louisville was
only able to get an even break with
Toledo.
Clarence Rowland.s success with his
White Sox is aseribed largely to his
kind and gentle handling of his men.
Reports tell how he couldn't do too
much for them and that If one Of them
wanted an afternoon on to see a bur-
lesuue show Rowland would beam on
him and assure him that IL was just
what he needed. In the meantime he
would take each player aside and ex-
plain TO him confidentially that he
was really the greatest player on his
lob In the game. Oddly enough the
rlayers seemed to like such treatment
and really enjoyed working for Row
land. Most all of them in fact. went
SO far as to be grateful and TO do
their best work for the team Fans
have az times been astonished to hear
some of the White Sox say that the
player who didn't give Rowland the
best that was in him would be pref
ty cheap guy. But other managers
will point out that Rowland Is max
ing great mistake il he thinks ball
players are human.
The tendency of modern boxers to
take the names of ring heroes Of the
past develops many absurdities, due
TO the fact that the modern boxers
who appropriate the honored patro-
nymfcs do not resemble the originals
except in the matter of name. Al
though Joe Cans, one OF the greatest
Hghtweights In the history OF pugi-
lisn, has been dead seven years, his
name is kept alive. 1T is borne by
son Of sunny Italy named Camper
Tango, who calls himself Italian Joe
Cans Then there is Young Joe Cans,

My Dear Miss Schlanser:-
Received your most enjoyable let
ter yesterday and assure you / en-
ioyed it very much. We had a pleas
ant trip and we all arrived in good
health.
Yesterday and today we spent fix
ing up our tents. On account Of the
lack Of tentage there will be IL men
in a tent which will make it rather
crowded. The government is going
to put floors and walls in our tents
and also sidewalk down our COM
pany's street. If we stay here long
enough we will be in just as good
shape as we were at home.
The government has just delivered
straw to put in our ticks. We have
between 10000 and $4,000 men here.
We are about three miles from
town and at present we have to take
a taxi, but a trolley line is being ex-
tended out here which promises a
saving to US all. We are allowed. TO
go to town after o'clock, but we
must be back at 10. The town is
bone-dry which is a good thing. On
Sundays one cannot even buy ice
cream or cigars. The city has a pop
ulation of about $4,000 people.
Nothing of interest happened on
the trip except our train killed a
lady at Faribault We found that
our mess halls, lighthouses, incinera-
tors, ETC., were built and ready for
use when we arrived. This was good
news, for every one, who served on
the border last summer remembers
the work we had in building. This
a. Ill
was one of the first things we OBJ
served upon our arrival.
Best regards to yourself and other
members OF the auxiliary. We want
to thank you for all your kindness.
The fruit and candy were fine Hop
ing to hear from you soon. ] remain,
Yours respectfully,
