8 ALMOST IN REICH Supremacy in Football in the Middle West. SIGNS IN SATURDAY'S GAME Some of the Mlsplays That Will Have to Be Eliminated. Minnesota's football entire etate owns It on the road to the football supremacy of the west. Whatever doubt 3 the enthusiasts may have held, they were dispelled Saturday whia the gophers after a hard fought game with the stalwart Nebraskans quit the field victors by a score of 19 to 0. It matters not that Minnesota had the ball most of the time and played nearly the entire game In Nebraska territory, the game was a hard fought one and the victory was a worthy one.

It gave convincing proof to the lovers of the sport here and everywhere that the knights of the maroon and gold were in the game this year to win honors equal to or greater than those won a year ago by the now famous "1900 team," and that they were working with that and that only in view. The improvement of the past week on the part of Captain Knowlton's men was marked and if continued until the date of the Wisconsin game, Nov. 16, should give Minnesota a clear title to the championship of the middle west. Three in Race. It seems safe to say that there are but three teams in the contest this year.

They are Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. As neither Minnesota nor Wisconsin plays Michigan, it looks as though it would have to bo a fight for the west-of- Chicago championship between Minnesota and Wisconsin. The game at Madison, Nov. 16, therefore, is the one toward which interest will be directed from this time on. However, there is no telling what kind of a game lowa will put up Got.

26, and the game that date is not one to be overlooked. After the first few dashes in the game of Saturday, It seemed pretty certain that the Nebraikans would be beaten. The men from Lincoln began with whirlwind speed and gained ground rapidly in the first few oharges. But the Mlnnesotans quickly solved their method of attack and then Nebraska's hopes were gone, whether they recognized the fact or not. After that the Minnesotans had the ball most of the time, and showed their ability to make steady gains, though they were usually short.

The ball was passed steadily the field toward the Nebraska line, and the Nebraskans ware powerless to prevent it. This persistent gaining on the part of Minnesota was evidence enough to all but the blind who would see that the game was to be Minnesota's unless something very unusual should happen. Fought Valiantly. The Nebraskas were not "quitters." however, and the knights of the marooa aid gold had to work for thu'r ground. Bat gain ground they did most consistently.

A Few Weak But their play was not paffcet At critical points several times, when teucfc- Uownp seemed only a matter of a few seconds, mlsplays were made. As a result Minnesota's score was not what it might have been had the pUy a better. These misplays should be eliminated by further practice, olso fciter game the sad words, ''it might have been," will ring in the ears of the players to mar the pleasure that goes with, the tumult and the shouting of admiring ani loyal rooters. In the first half of the game not less than three off-side plays set the Minneeotans back after they had advanced the ball consistently. Thirty yards in a close game Is a bad handicap and might cost a game.

Again a costly fumble Just at the Nebraska line gave the cornhuskers the ball and saved them a touchdown. Penalties for holding and forward passes also proved costly, and once at least an error in Judgment led the Minnesotans when almost upon the Nebraska line to try the Nebraska left which had proved hardest to pierce, whereas the right had proved easy, comparatively speaking. It was such an error of Judgment that cost Wisconsin the game against Minnesota a year ago, so the wise ones say, and the Minnesotans should remember that having found an "easy" place in the enemy's line, that place should be the point of attack -when ground simply has to be gained in order to save the ball's going to the enemy. Drop Kicks. One of the surprises of the game was the work of Rogers as a drop kicker.

Ho was given three trials and failed in all, but it was not because he did not lift and drive the ball well; it was a quoation of getting it between the posts only with a cross-filed wind to allow for. Practice should improve Rogers' work, therefore, and make him an even more valuable man than the rooters had supposed With a swift opponent a drop kick, if the kicker is clever at the business, is better than a place kick, for it takes less time and there is less likelihood of the kick's being blocked. Rogers was as cool as could be In making bis kick, despite the fact that the Nebraskans were plunging at him. Cornhaikeri Laid Off. The Nebraskans played in hard luck so far as having men put out of the game was concerned.

Later Voss took Stringer's place and Crandall took Kingsbury's place. Knowlton on Minnesota's side of the line had the forefinger of his left hand broken, but after it was bandaged went on with the game as though nothing had happened. Evans later had to give way to Thorpe and left half. Minnesota the Better Team. Altogether, the Nebraskans did not come up to the standard of the Minnesotans.

Dr. H. L. Williams said Friday evening, in speaking of Minnesota's prospects: "If Nebraska wins it will be because she has the better team." The game showed conclusivel ythat Minnesota had the better team. The MinnesoUns played better football, played a more finished game and played with moro force than the Nebraskans.

But as Indicated above, they shoved that there WM large room for imurovemti.t yet. Indeed, tl ore must be Improvement if Minnesota is to win the. other bis games ahead of nor. The Mlunesorans must remember that the game Wisconsin is to be played on the Wisconsin which means there is Just that muea more to be accomplished. Further, the Northwestern and Illinois teams will be no mean adversaries.

Northwestern, particularly, Is showing up strong this year. Her close game with Notre Dame" doesn't Indicate weakness. Notre Dame is coached by ODea, the great kicker, and is a strong team. PLAY HARD, MINN! What Minnesota Do to Get Heady for Wisconsin. On Saturday the first of the great milestones in race for the western championship was safely and honorably passed.

The Mlnesota boys did splendidly and every citizen of this state is proud of the team which represented the state In the contest with Nebraska. It was evident to the close observer that every man upon the team worked faithfully and did his best. The team work on the individual plays were not perfect by any means. This could not be expected at the present stage of the season's development. There are weeks of hard, faithful and steady work ahead of the boys before a highly polished, smoothly running and Invincible machine can be perfected.

No one knows better than the men upon the team that their work is not yet finished; that In fact the first mile. stone only has yet been passed, and it is safe to predict that no self-satisfaction or over-confidence will follow in the wake of the game last Saturday. The team as it played Saturday would have small chance against the team which Wisconsin will place upon the field on ttfe 16th of November. But it is hoped and believed that it can also be safely said that the team which played Saturday would have small chance with the team which Minnesota will put' upon the field on November 16th. The gradual development of the team from- -week to week is certainly most interesting to see.

The improvement of the play on Saturday over that of the P. game was marked. By the 26th of October, when the strong team from the University of lowa is met, still further development is to be expected, and by the time of the Wisconsin game the climax of form should be reached. In Saturday's game the Minnesota team was well handled and the plays made were selected with excelent judgment. A possible criticism or two on this line can, of course, be made, but in the main the generalship was good.

The handling of considerable number of complicated plays Is a difficult matter and successful generalship is one of the essential parts of the play which must develop with the team, as the season advances. A Serious Fault. But there is one serious fault with the present team which should be corrected at once, and this is off-side play and a tendency to start before the ball. The present team is certainly a serious offender here. It is useless to blame the umpire for inflicting penalties which were merited.

The officials in the game on, Saturday were excellent; probably no better could be had in the west. Under these officials' rulings the home teem lost the ball several times for off-side play when they were within easy striking distance of the opponents' goal. Off-side play and holding in the line are weaknesses in any team which might result in the loss of the game in a very close contest. Stay on side, Minnesota! The umpire who enforces strict adherence to the rules is doing the team a favor, and should be thanked for his services. An individual criticism of the players is hardly desirable.

They and the coaches know their particular faults much better than the spectators, and are doubtless working upon them. A Valuable Tip. A few general suggestions to the team as a whole, coming from an old player who is himself a lover of the game, might nfot, however, come in amiss. In watching Minnesota play one cannot but feel that the whole power of the team Is not always In every play; that the men have not yet awakened to the knowledge of their full power and the possibilities before them of doing more than they do do. No man shirks; every man tries to do his best, "but there Is a sleeping lion that must yet be awakened before Minnesota can reach the full tide of her that time comes let us hope It will be the 16th of November.

From now on the watchword should ever be "Play harder, Minnesota!" This matter of drive and hard work is the vital point in the success of Wisconsin. Upon the Madison team every man to combine the powers of the whirlwind and the battering ram in every play. The result is phenomenal. This power of the individual to concentrated his entire energy in each play, time after time, is but slowly acquired. Rapid play by the team as a whole is also essential for its successful accomplishment.

It is this power, this invincible explosive force and combined action that the writer would have Minnesota emulate and acquire. The prospects for the future seem bright. Hold steady and work hard, Minnesota! STORY OF THE GAME The Ball Was Minnesota's Moat of the Time. The story of the game, in brief, is as follows: Nebraska won the toss, and chose the north goal.

Here is what some of them had to say: Or. H. L. Williams, Director Minnesota am entirely satisfied with the result of the game. The boys did won.

Nebraska was lost. I do not wish to say anything more. W. C. Booth, Coach Nebraska have nothing to contribute to the general store of information.

The best team won. Minnesota was in good form and we were licked hard. I have seen Minnesota play twice and I think she is in far better form this year than she was when we placed her last year. Phil King, Wisconsin U. was fine fast football and Minnesota won on her merits.

The reeult looked doubtful during the first half, after that Minnesota's superior weight counted. I think Minnesota and Wisconsin will be very evenly matched this year. W. W. result Is about what I looked for.

Minnesota was able to break up the plays before they were really started, so that the heavy backs of Nebraska did not avail them as much as anticipated. I consider Minnesota in better shape than at this time last year and look to see it have a clean record. Chicago gopher eleven Is a wonder when it comes to combining weight and fleetness, and it Is exceedingly doubtful if there is a team In the west, with the exception of Wisconsin, that has a chance to win from the giants under Coach Williams. "CELEBRATING" Boisterous Make Trouble for the Police. There was a celebration Saturday night and for a time things looked a bit bad on First avenue in front of the Metropoli- i tan theater.

The university band followed by a large crowd of rooters, marched from the Bijou to the Metropolitan just as the performance at the latter was over. The crowd blocked the street. A carriage driver attempted to drive up to the entrance, but the boys caught the wheels and stopped the vehicle. The driver could do nothing, despite the fact that he used his whip vigorously. One boy thought it would be fun to cut the trolley ropes on street cars.

He succeeded in severing one on a Bloomington avenue car and tried to cut another on a First avenue car, but was prevented. A hurry-up call was 'phoned the police station, and the arrival of four mounted policemen put a stop to the 'trouble and I blockade. The police and the mob collided at Second street and First avenue S. A big fight seemed imminent, and Detective Fred Conner, colored, had.a hand-to-hand encounter. No arrests were made here.

On an east-bound Oak and Kenwood car the hilarious students stripped the car of every Incandescent globe and the car returned to the station in utter darkness. Mounted Sergeant Franc and his men tried to keep the crowd from doing damage on First street. A fusilade of bricks resulted In Sergeant Franc's being atruck In the head and almost knocked senseless. Patrolman Joe Rhoades was also struck by a rock. One man pulled a gun on Patrolman O'Neill, who confiscated the weapon.

A call was received from Main street and Central avenue. The mounted detail hurried across the river and found some of the boys making away with signs. At Second avenue and Fourth street a crowd gathered after midnight and the patrol wagon was called out twice. Two arresits were made for disorderly conduct, one prisoner being Lars P. Solsness, a former university student.

The other gave his name as Jack Gallagher. Both were charged with disorderly conduct and were later released on bail. Notes of the Game. At the city hall Saturday, there was complaint because the management of the university football team had left only four pabsea to the game for the use of city officials. Those four went to pollcement in return for services on the field.

OTHER WESTERN GAMES BELOIT COULDN'T GAIN Uphill Fight Against the Wisconsin Team. Wisconsin's football team, at Milwaukee Saturday, in forty-five minutes' playing, scored 40 points against Beloit on a poor field, notwithstanding the somewhat ragged work by the varsity. This includes six touchdowns, one of the prettiest drop kicks by Juneau ever seen and five goals, all by Juneau. Beloit showed much spirit and played nervy football throughout, in fact nearly scoring on a bad fumble by Wisconsin near the end of the second half, when Crouk, getting the ball, with a clear field before him, dashed down the field twentyfive yards to the 'varsity forty-yard line before be was overtaken and downed Abercrombie and Lerum. Splendid work on the part of Captain Curtis, coupled with the fact that Beloit'a left side was weak, enabled the varsities to gain repeatedly around and through that side.

Driver hurdled time and again, always for two and three yards. Beloit could not make her gain, but had to punt or lose the ball. Wisconsin. Position. Beloit.

Michigan, Saturday at Ann Arbor, defeated Indiana by a score of 33 to 0. With a wet, heavy ground and a light rain falling continually, Michigan ran up a large score by straight line bucks. From the first there was no doubt of the result as Michigan pushed Heston over the line for a touchdown within four minutes.

In the second half Heston, Shorts, Snow and Weeks retired, from the game and Michigan then played a kicking game. Only once did Indiana, gain her five yards. The ball.changed hands several times through fumbles, Indiana thus saving her goal once. CHICAGO 5, PURDUE Game Played In a Sea of due's Great Rally. Doughty little Purdue, Saturday at Chicago, held its own against the University of Chicago, each side scoring five points after fifty minutes play on a gridiron more fit for a regatta than for a football game.

In the first half neither side scored and time was called with the ball on Chicago's twenty-yard line. Chicago started the second half with renewed vigor and in a series of line plunges and masses on tackle succeeded in forcing Sheldon across Purdue's line for the first touchdown of the game. Purdue rose to the occasion in magnificent style and forced the ball over the line. Leslie, howj ever, like Ellsworth of the Maroons, missed goal, and what might have been a victory remained a tie. Rain fell Incessantly throughout the game.

Time of halves twenty-five minutes. Illinois Wins. Illinois defeated Washington university of St. Louis at Champaign Saturday afternoon in a field of mud. In the first half Illinois steadily worked the ball down the field to Washington's three-yard line, only to be held for downs.

Anieit and Normal Tie. The football game at Cedar Palls, lowa Saturday between the state normal and Ames resulted in a tie. Both teams did good work and played a clean game.

Hamllne Suffers Defeat. Hamline university was outclassed Saturday at Fargo In the football game with the North Dakota agricultural college, the final score being 33 to tj.

South Dakota's Victory. The South Dakota eleven from the university at Vermillion, S. defeated the Lincoln medics Saturday by a score of 18 to 0.

EASTERN GAMES NAVY WAS EASY Yale Wins Without Difficulty by Score of 24 to O.

Yale's varsity football team defeated the "navy" eleven in a very one-sided contest by the score of 24 to 0. In four months after the opening of the contest Yale put the ball over the line and kicked a goal. Ten minutes later they repeated the opertitiou.

Sunshine and warm weather are promised for Wednesday afternoon and the road riders and lovers of speedy horses in general are planning for a highly entertaining program. In addition to those who have already been mentioned to take part in Wednesday's program, Maurice Rothschild will send his blue ribbon winner, Buff Wilson down and Al Oluck promises to give Mr. R. a brush if the owner of Buff "will stand for it." There is quite a bit of rivalry between Messrs. Rothschild and Gluck, but they have yet to meet on the turf.

At the Minoehaha Horse Show in July, Buff Wilson won the blue for fast pacers "too but at the Interurban ahow in August. Mr. Gluck scored first with is fleet horse Herme. Now what the sport lovers want to see is the pair come together to decide In a test for speed and comparison for style and beauty. In addition to the program already published, Mr.

Linton of the Republic Motor Vehicle company says he will send down two of hia automobiles and is willing to meet any one who has speed or courage to tackle him. All the course and grounds will be given up to the sport on Wednesday afternoon and all are invited to assist in the entertainment. The entire proceeds will be given to the Sewell fund and the horsemen desire to make it a substantial donation. CHESCEtS 1 DATE Home Looking Forward Eagerly to Oct. 31.

Qeorge Ketcham made a grand drive with Cresceus at Toledo on Friday last when he wiped out the old record for trotters on a half mile track by circling Toledo's half mile ring in Mr. Ketcham gave the grand crowd another exhibition by hooking the champion to a road wagon and driving him twice around the course In 12, exceedingly fast indeed. The public turned out in great numbers at Toledo, which is the home of Mr. Ketcham and as the entire receipts of the day were donated to charity the needy and deserving of Toledo enriched some $18,000 by the afternoon's receipts. Cresceus performance at the Pimlico track, Baltimore, while not being sensational to readers of the daily papers is found to be much more of a triumph when it is noted that the best heat ever trotted over the Baltimore sand before was while Cresceus stepped it In Every preparation is being made to have "Cresceus day" in Minneapolis a winner and it is hoped that the public will give him as good patronage as eastern cities do, for it is many years since a champion performed in the flour city.

Oct. 31 is Cresceus date at Minnehaha. NATIONAL SECRETARY HERE Karpf of Bowling Cuugrem Consults With Local Bowlers. Secretary Karpf, secretary of the American Bowling congress, is in Minneapolis, scraping acquaintance with the officers of the three twin city leagues, which now belong to the American association. He is conceded to be the best living authority on bowling.

He will swing around the west in the interests of the game after leaving Minneapolis this week. Mr. Karpf was asked to settle an interesting point on bowling raised at a meeting of bowling enthusiasts Friday evening. Y. M.

C. A. athletes, who belong to the American Athletic union, were afraid that if they played with teams made up of professionals their amateur standing would be jeopardized. Mr. Karpf called attention to the recent action of the American Athletic union in striking bowling from the list of sports.

As a result, the amateur or professional athletic standing of team members cuts no figure one way or the other. It is only recognized at a game, not a sport.

Phelpa' Several fresh weter salts of Minneapolis who saw one or all of the recent races for the America's cup, are enthusiastic over the prospects of a general revival of yachting at Minnetonka next year. While the Minnetonka Yacht Club did not allow the sport to die out this season and sustained interest by a aeries of interesting free-for-all regattas, no regular scbedtile was observed, and no attempt was made to enforce strict sailing regulations or close classifications.

By next year it is believed that tho time will be opportune fpr a reorganization of the club, and that the younger members will be prepared to enter into the spirit of yachting with all the zest which was ever a distinguishing characteristic of the skippers who made the club in the past. It may be said that one of the main reasons for the sudden lull in yachting at Minnetonka after the hot pace which the club hed set for years, was due largely to the apthy of the younger members, who failed to arise to the occasion, as business affairs and the press of other obligations began to compel the withdrawal of the old members from active participation In the affairs of the club. It Is gratifying to note that the old members are still prepared to heartily co-operate with the junior element to prevent the decadence of yachting at Minnetonka. Among the skippers who combined to make the club famous and were nevor known to miss a regatta, rain or shine. none were more enthusiastic than E.

J. Phelps. Mr. Phelps witnessed the first of the races off Sandy Hook for the America's cup. Since his return he has talked yachting, particularly as it refers to Minnetonka, whenever opportunity offered.

Mr. Phelp3 with a majority of the older members, that to insure the success of yachting next season there should be an entire revision of the racing rules so as to encourage owners of old style boats to get in tha game. Minnetonka has one of the finest fleets of small yachts on inland waters, but the revolutions In models have bren so rapid In recent years that the oM boats simply stand no show in a brush with the new ones under existing rules. If there could be en equitable adjustment of the rules which would give boats of a decade ago a chance to compete with the up-to-date scow type boats, next season would doubtless find the old leaders like the Herreschoff Alpha, struggling gamely to the finish at every regatta. One member of the club has suggested that it would be a good idea to have a committee of three disinterested eastern yachtsmen revise the rules.

The Journal interviewed several members ol the Minnetonka Yacht Club and found not one dissenting voice among them on the revival proposition. Among those who expressed the hope that tte yacht racing would survive at Minnetonka, were Hal Watson, William Peet. Campbell Sweeney, Fred Hopkins, T. B. Janney, C.

B. Eustls, John Donaldson, Fred Fayram and Lucian Swift, commodore of the club. Read the bargains In our ad on page 5. Donaldson's Glass Block. Through.
