It was their – fastest work this year on Northrop fed. Football enthusiasts-we who went TO the field to get line on what Min nesota will do against Wisconsin-were doomed to disappointment. The team which trotted out on the field and lined up for preliminary practice was oddly constituted. Ittner, Brush and Current we’re out. and Shuknecht, Smith and Czech took their places.

Law renee, tho, rallied splendidly, at times, and once or twice when the gopher quarterback did not choose his play carefully on the third down the ball went to Koehler’s men thru Inability of their rivals to gain the desired dis tance. It was an interesting game to watch but did not give the enthusiasts or ex perts any line on what may be expect | ed in the Wisconsin game. AS Wiscon sins football mentor occupied a box at the center Of the field there may have been more Of method than chance in the absence of true line on the win, and that seemed to be all thai was required.
