The contests will give Minnesota
fans an opportunity to get q closeup

singled out from among the college
outfits Of the country to participate
in elimination trials for the Olympic
championships. The Gophers were
prevented from competing, however,
by action Of the athletic board
which disapproved of participation.
Captain Thomas Smith, Bison
coach, and 10 players were a none
too confident squad. The. Bison
have been handicapped by subzero
weather, outdoor practice having
been virtually impossible for more
than week.

practicing on an indoor rink since

Connie Mack, veteran leader Of the

resolved the New York Yankees
won't make a runaway Of another
American League pennant race next
season.
Mack, beginning the 28th year of
his reign as manager OF the Athlct-
ics, sees tighter American League
race in 1928 and figures every club,
including his own, has made great
strides in strengthening its team.
The Athletics. who finished in
second place last season, made two
trades, bringing Outfielder Bling
Miller back to Philadelphia and add
ing Ossie Orwell. Milwaukee flash,
without apparently dctracting from
their strength.
Not only does Mack believe the
Athletics will be stronger from a
playing standpoint next season, but
he figures Washington, with young
pitchers and stronger than ever, has
one Of the most dangerous teams in
the circuit. Also, he has consider
able respect for the pitching PROV
css Of the Chicago White Sox..

With = slightly remodelcd base

ter the 1928 American League pen

up in youth. Joe Hauser, back from
Kansas City, will plug up big gap
at first base, and Miller, traded to
st. Louis in June, 1926, and recent
" brought back in a trade for
Pitcher Sam Gray, will be in left

With Tony Lazzeri and Mark

recently why he wanted to spend
