MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi. December s.

thorities virtually have decided to play
but four conference foot ball games
next year and to substitute Michigan
for Chicago. according to reports cur
rent In university sport circles.
With games with Indiana, Illinois and
Wisconsin assured. and with a contest
with Michigan likely. the Gopher man
agement has decided. it was said. that
another conference contest would not
be possible, because of the late OPEN
ing Of school, and therefore Chicago
probably would be dropped for 1918.
ANN ARBOR, Mich, December s.
Advices from Minneapolis that the Uni
versity Of Minnesota is considering ar
Judgements for a foot ball contest next
fall with the University of Michigan
were received with great satisfaction
hare by the student body. While ath-

comment on the probability of a. con-
tast between the schools, Michigan and
Minnesota always have been on most
friendly terms. and it is believed that
overtures for a game would be well
coined.

have one OF its best seasons at the in-
door sport. The Blue and Gray simply
ran away from the Mount st. Joseph's
ouint. the latter not showing anything

town started right out with q rush.
The game was only a few minutes old
before the Blue and Gray had COM
Portable lead and at the end Of the first
half the count stood % to 2 in Its favor.
Capt. McNulty and Fees displayed an
ability to shoot goals that was excep-
tional. each man dropping the ball
through the net just seven times.
Georgetown's team played well as in
and McNulty starred in scoring. their
work was made possible largely by the
assistance Of the other members of the
ouint. ALL played together and. all In

of one OF the best quints Georgetown
