GOPHER GRID
SPORT CLIMBS
TO NEW LEVEL.
Season of 1925 Brings No
Championship But Sport
Makes Big Gains

Minneapolis, Dec. 5.-With all
talk of DR.. Spears quitting as coach
definitely thrown into the discard by
the doctors own pronouncements and
those of the men closest to him,
Minnesota football fans were awake
today to the fact that while Mime
sofa did not win the championship
with it's smashing sophomore team.
1t caused larger splash in con-
ference and national football circles
than it has for many years. Out
playing one conference team which
snatched a tie in the closing minutes
of the game, beating another by five
touchdowns, and losing to Michigan
when that school has team which
its own famous coach calls his best
in 25 years, is no record to be shifted
at. Around the University of Mime
sofa no one is shifting, either.
Anyone who doubts that football
is looking up at Minnesota may take
into account few of the facts.
Some Of the Facts
Minnesota has four football grid
irons, where a few years ago it had
but one.
Minnesota this year had more than
enough sophomore stars to make up
an entire football team, so that only
one junior and no seniors took the
field at the kickoff against Iowa and
Michigan.
Public interest in Minnesota foot
ball reached an all-time highest
this year when the big new stadium
was practically sold out for two of
the big games, Notre Dame and Iowa
Footall receipts, used to support
and finance all activities in physical
education for men, both inter
collegiate and intramural. have been
greater than ever before. although
the newspaper estimate of 100000
is SO per cent too large, the actual
figure being in the neighborhood OF
100000.
Many other points could be cited
but it may be best to stop when none
of the argument looks thin. There
is no escaping the fact that football
has been a success at Minnesota.
Head Is Not Turned
Perhaps the greatest accomplish
ment of all has been the fact thai
football has not turned the institu
| tons head. It's membership realize!
perfectly that the main purpose Of 1
, university is educational, but at tn,
same time it has regard for the fac
that as source of college spiri
and q legitimate way of letting tn
public at large participate in tn
more spectacular phases of COLLEGE
life, football is without an equal.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1925-12-05

with whom I talked, held the opinion
that the forward pass made toe
much of gamble out Of the game.
1t was their contention that the
indiscriminate tossing Of the ball
robbed football Of much of its stra-
tegy, Just as the home run mania kill
ed off inside baseball to great de-
gree.
The forward pass is generally re-
gaFded by the coaches rs a destroy
er Of the fundamentals. But how to
remedy the ailment is another thing.
PASS POPULAR
The attitude Of many Of the coaches
with whom | talked made it appar-
ent to me that some sort of action
would be taken at their meeting.
feel there will be much talk, but
doubt if any logical solution will
be offered to curb the pass and re-
move some Of the gamble that now
exists whenever the play is attempt
ed.
| heard some comment as to re-
ducing the value Of forward pass
touchdown. That didn't seem logi-
cal.
Others offered the suggestion that
the length of the pass should be
limited. There were also various sug-
gestions as to govern the play by a
coming system.
1t is u we'll known fact that the
forward pass is not regarded in high
favor by the conservative coaches.
However, the public likes open
play, and no doubt the coaches will
be wary about making any drastic
changes in style.
