lays the first game.
: The University of Minnesota faced
IS first intersectional foe IN Okla
oma A. &, M. Of Saltwater, Okla,
4 the Gophers' third football game
f the year.
Outweighed considerably despite
ecent changes in the Gopher team
.hich have brought lighter gridders
.lto the lineup, the Aggies depended
n their high speed to offset the
seight disadvantage.

.ty this week are Den at center,

,aturday.
Minus the guiding genius of their
ate master but as husky and ambiti-
us as ever, Notre Danes big foot
all team makes it's first start of the
fsason today against the fighting
boosters" of Indiana.
No one really expected a victory
Or Indiana but the world of foot
all vas anxious to hear the result,
, learn what can be expected, and
, see if another national champion
nip eleven was to carry on at Notre
)ame.
Indiana, which held Notre Dame
:oreless for nearly three periods last
ear, built its hopes of stemming the
rish tide on it's pass attack against
ne more inexperienced Notre Dame
.ackfield.
Coach Hunk" Anderson had four
I'LL teams available for action and
tanned to use every man with the
RECEPTION Of Nick Lukats, injured
ullback of great promise.
: A victory for Notre Dame today
yould run it's victory march to 20
traight, tying the former record
1ade in the days of the immortal
George Gipp.
Face Giant Killers
NorthWeStern's Wildcats, labelled
ar and wide as one of the strong
st contenders for the next national
ootball championship, found them
elves confronted by a notorious crew
+ giant killers from Nebraska as
hey opened their 1881 campaign.
On the basis of experience and
asst performance, the Wildcats were
avorites to turn back the Cardinal
erseyied invaders but they recalled
ividly enough it was a Cornhusker
cam, which used to lick Notre Dame
yhen others fell down on the big Job.
Pound for pound the teams were
0 evenly matched the probable
tarting lineups revealed a difference
+ only two-eleyenths of a pound per
layer in average weight. Nebraska
lad the edge in the line while North
aestern outweighed its rival in the
ackfield.
Northwestern was strictly on the
football spot" for it's opening battle
+ the 1881 wars and the situation
5as a large handicap.
Thirty-five thousand spectators
fere expected to watch the game.
