1 3 THE SUNDAY JOURNAL. Sport Section. HISTORICAL MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 15, 1912. GLOOMY OUTLOOK FOR GOPHER TEAM Minnesota Mentor Faces Hard Task in Developing a Worthy Eleven. SCHOLASTIC AX SNIPS MANY FOOTBALL HEADS Squad of Green Huskies to Turn Out for Practice on Friday.

Tobin is left. Little Hope for Two. Everything is ready for the beginning of the 1912 football season at the University of Minnesota. One exception may be noted, however, in the readiness of the Gophers- -that is a lack of candidates. Coaches: are a sad looking lot these times and they shiver with dread every time they think of the new season that is galloping down upon them with a relentless velocity.

Next Friday, some time between the hours of 2 and 4 o'clock, the football candidates will sink their spikes into the virgin soil of Northrop field for the first time this year. There is no question about the abundance of material for the most part, it seems as though the material is not the sort caleulated to make Dr. H. L. Williams and his trusty assistants crack their heels together for joy.

Gone are most of the first string gladiators of last fall. Of all the real 18-carat regulars--that is those who were counted fixtures on last year's first eleven -only Paul Of course there is Captain Cliff Morell and Tim Walker, the all-American immortal of two seasons ago, but they are as good as 11. the discard already. Minnesota well-wishers have glimmering hopes that Morell and even Walker may get into the battles of this year, but their hopes a are built on flimsy foundations. The eligibility standard this year will be drawn tighter than ever before in Minnesota football history and if there is the slightest pretext for keeping a man off the gridiron the faculty inquisition may be counted upon to condemn those who digressed in the slightest degree from the professor-made rules as to how an athlete should conduct himself.

Both Morell and Walker will come under the rules governing students. Although neither graduate in the graduate, general meaning of the term, the professors are sharpening up their axes, according to report, and with willing hands on the grindstone it may be taken for granted that many a candidate's head will be neatly cropped from its football body before the season is much older. a army After the the local first football assault of public the has gloom vived in a measure and another view of the situation gives Friend Rooter a trifle more happiness. There is little to see in the way of another western championship on the horizon, but if the dictators of things scholastic at the university are any way decent at all, Minnesota may have a football team that will, give an honorable account of itself, even if it does not lick everything in sight. At present the most promising canfor the quarterback job is Pinky Hayward.

who hammered himself into the public eye on last year's second team. Hayward does not lean as much to beef as many other members of the squad, but embonpoint is not the whole thing in football nowadays, and anteseason dope is inclined to give him the position. Paul Tobin and Aldworth are two others who look like fixtures from the start. Tobin Looks Like Captain. Tobin will report Friday to find himself in a unique position.

Perhaps no other football man at Minnesota ever was in exactly the same fix as the quiet young fellow from North Minneapolis. He is the only simonpure veteran available, taking it for granted that Morell Walker are out of the question. There will be a meeting of the 'M men as soon as things are settled, and it looks now as though Tobin will be elected captain. There are a few other men hanging around, but Tobin's performance from first to last a year ago seems to warrant him the post of honor. The state agricultural college this year will be a factor in Gopher football as never before.

Tobin, if elected captain, will be the first leader ever as the records show. Hayward and Aldchosen from the St. Anthony park branch of the state university, as far worth are also students in the agricultural college so it looks as though Dean Woods' boys will cut quite a figure in Dr. Williams' gang in A. D.

1912. All three are forestry students. Elder May Play. Elder. a husky linesman, who made a brilliant showing in the Illinois game at Champaign last fall, will be in school.

There is no stain on his scholastic character, as far as can be learned, and he looks good for a place in the line. Tollefson, a former High school player, and who did great things on the freshman team in 1911, is another young fellow who is going to make everyone hustle to keep him from among the wearers of the M' this fall. He is a consistent drop kicker and punter, is a hard, aggressive player and although not the heaviest man in school. will good bid for a job with Dr. Williams.

There are several other strong candidates from last year's freshman and scrub teams but they will not know how they stand with the registrar until after school starts. Helon Leach, manager of athletics, is expected back in Minneapolis tomorrow and he will start things humming in his department. Trappings of the gridiron will be resurrected from the packing trunks. and suits, shoes and stockings will be laid out for the scores of applicants expected to respond to the annual call to arms. TIGERS START PRACTICE Princeton Varsity Runs Through Formations in Early Workout.

Cambridge, Sept. 14. The possibility of a renewal of football relations between Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania is being discussed here. It is admitted that Degotiations to this end are under way, although doubts are expressed as to whether it will be possibie to arrange a satisfactory date for the present season. PRACTICE BEGINS FRIDAY IN BIG NINE Conference Colleges Will Start Annual Football Grind on Sept.

20. IMPORTANT CHANGES MADE IN THE RULES Richards Will Coach Ohio and Juneau in Charge at Wisconsin. Chicago. Sept. 14.

-Official football practice for teams. of the big nine, which includes Ohio State university this vear. will start on Fridav. According to a ruling adopted in 1906. none of the conference squads can get together as an organized aggregation until Sept.

20, although there is no provision against members or candithe various elevens getting together, without any attention from the coaches. As the changes in the rules are important, but simple, it is not thought the players will have much difficulty in mastering any possibilities of the alterations. The fundamental principles are the same as last season and the spectator at this fall's contests will not have much trouble in acquainting himself with the revised code. Again the Big Nine. ball at Yale, Syracuse and Dartmouth.

Stagg Has Novel Feature. For the first time since 1905, the old western organization is again the big nine. Following the reform wave after the season of 1905, Michigan withdrew from the conference and the organization since that time has been known as the big eight. At Lafavette, the dav before the annual outdoor track and field meeting of the conference colleges, the faculty representatives held a meeting and admitted Ohio State to the organization. The newly elected member's football squad will be in charge of John Richards, head coach at the University of Wisconsin last velar.

With a wealth material, Richards' eleven should prove a factor in the conference race. Richards' withdrawal has resulted in the appointment of Bill Juneau, former star end of 1900, 1901 and 1902, as head coach. Since his departure from the Madison institution, Juneau has been connected with Marquette university of Milwaukee. where he has developed strong elevens. Aside from Richard's at Ohio state and Juneau's at Wisconsin, the fortune of other conference elevens will be guided by the same men who were 111 charge last season--Dr.

H. S. Williams at Minnesota, Dr. Hammet at Northwestern, Stagg at Chicago, Horr at Purdue, Hall Lindgren at Illinois, Sheldon at Indiana and Hawley at Iowa. These tutors will be assisted by former players of their respective institutions.

Gophers Start Early. Of the conference team Minnesota and Indiana be the first to get into action. The Gophers, who always enjoy. cool weather in the early fall, will take on South Dakota on Sept. 28, while the Hoosiers will tackle their old foe, De Pauw at Bloomington.

Minnesota and Indiana will have only eight days to prepare for these contests, while their opponents already are at work. On Oct. 5 Chicago followers of football will be treated to a welcome surprise. Instead of all old rickety wooden fence which has surrounded Marshill field these many years, those who watch the Maroons give battle to Indiana on that dav will see a field surrounded by a concrete wall. Instead of the big wooden grandstand on the west side of the field.

patrons will be ushered to their seats in a large capacions grandstand seating 8,000 persons. Entrance is through subways from the rear. Each section will have a On this day it will be the case of a team coached by a pupil meeting a team coached by the teacher. Stagg will be the teacher and Sheldon the pupil. Since he took hold of the football situation at Bloomington Sheldon has developed one team which ran off the field a victorious eleven, five to nothing.

That was in 1910. So Stage not only has to develop teams which can successfully stop plays which he evolved. he has to combat attacks taught men who learned their foot- Stagg is planning a novel feature for the dedication of the new field. A parade of former Maroon stars will be held before the competing elevens on the field, while other ceremonies will b- held to dedicate a field which in time will be the equal of any in the west. It is uesless at this stage to venture an opinion as to which college will be represented by the strongest team.

FAMOUS AVIATOR DASHED TO DEATH Howard GIll who met death at Chicago neapolis by reason of his sensational pany with Coffyn, Morbid Crowd at Funeral of Wife Of Black Pugilist MRS. JACK JOHNSON Chicago, Sept. of "Nearer, My God, to seldom reach the ear of the hardened fighters of the prize ring. Clang of the round bell and the shout of the referee and of the crowd are their music.

Yet, when this song rose from the throats of a vested choir of colored girls in the crowded little St. Mark's African Methodist Episcopal church at East Fiftieth street and South Wabash avenue, where funeral services were conducted today for Mrs. Jack ME Johnson, who ended her life with a bullet, tears coursed unrestrained down the cheeks of the widower, world's champion heavyweight. and of other battlescarred pugilists. 4 Pretty tough goin', mumbled California Jack' Anderson, former Pacific coast lightweight, as he fumbled nervously his black plush fedora.

Yes, it kind of hits the spot. never thought I was so came the whispered reply in husky tones from Johnson, Such scenes were typical of the strange and spectacular funeral that an assemblage, numbering, more than 5,000 men, women children, witnessed. Many of them were followers of the prizering and habitues of the levee, where Johnson's cafe is located. Women fainted had to be carried away. A short and brief prayer was said over the body at the house by the Rev.

John W. Robinson of St. Mark's church. The mourners and friends filed slowly from 1 the home to waiting automobiles, into which they climbed and rode to the church. Mrs.

a Johnson's mother and sister, Mrs. David Terry and Miss Elane Terry of Brooklyn, N. appeared in the doorway, the former supported by her dusky son-in-law. She was sobbing bitterly and as she descended the stairs the pugilist half supported, half carried her. Both mother and daughter were heavily veiled.

Some were surprised when the two women entered the closed limousine, its gre curtains drawn, with Johnson. Before the services they had remained in a room above the parlor alone. M'CARTNEY BEATEN BY MIKE GIBBONS Philadelphian Knocked Out in Second Round of Scheduled Six-Round Go. Special to The Journal. Philadelphia, Sept.

-Mike Gibbons, world's champion welterweight boxing champion, tonight signalized the opening of his season's work in the prize ring by knocking out Young McCartney of Philadelphia in the second round of a scheduled six-round bout, before the National Sporting club. McCartney, a Philadelphia favorite, favored because of the fact that he had scored a knockout over Mickey Gannon, and also because he fights with a right-hand lead, looked like a rank novice in the hands of the Minnesota favorite. Strong after a summer of rest, Gibbons made his initial appearance in the east one of note. He had boxed in this city on two previous occasions. On his first appearance here, the champion was met at evens by Young Erna, but his second exhibition found him hammering the face of Tommy Howell to a highly noticeable purple.

Tonight Gibbons stepped into the ring amid an earthshaking applause, and when he was introduced the house went wild. He was a world's champion and he was going to box the one best bet at 147 pounds to be produced in the old town of Slumberland. How Dope Went Wrong. McCartney's friends had everything planned out nicely. Their idol was going to jab Gibbons blind with his marvelous right lead, and then, at the proper time, would boom over the sleep producer that would send Mickey to the receptacle that holds the relegated.

But Mike was not in the punishment-taking mood tonight. He stepped into the ring with a bright smile beaming over his face, waltzed into the bout wearing the same smile, and in just six minutes and three seconds after the bell sounded for the first time, the champion was crawling out of the ring, still wearing the smile but a trifle saddened by the sight of his bleeding opponent. If ever a boxer was handed a quick, decisive beating, Young McCartney was that Confident of victory, the Philadelphia boy walked to the center of the ring to shake hands with Gibbons. Mike shook the extended glove. and then stepped back and assumed a boxing pose.

McCartney made a rush and Gibbons brought the house to its feet by 8 marvelously clever piece of side-stepping, the culmination of which was a series of blows to the Philadelphian's head and face. Mike never worked better in his life. He admitted before going into the battle that McCartnev's right hand lead was causing him to think up a new defense and attack, but after one minute of boxing he had the William Penn boxer's measure. He found that by leading a straight left and countering with his right, he could keep the local lad busy. The first round found both boys willing to mix, and although the Philadelphian exhibted rare skill on blocking, Gibbons masterly work proved a heavy handicap.

It took Mike just about two minutes to satisfy McCartney's friends that their idol did not have even a ghost of a show and at the stroke of the gong winding up the first round, the champion cracked Mr. MeCartney a right hook to the jaw which head-rocking clout sent the local star back agaisnt the ropes groggy. Mike did not take a single punch in exchange in that first round, and in the second only one McCartney punch got by. That Continued on Following Page. AVIATION CLAIMS GILL AS A VICTIM St.

INDIANS TRAMPLE ON THE COYOTES Reilly's Solid Blow Sends Friel's Slipping Sisters Back a Notch.

Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 14. One solid blow by Alex Reilly in the seventh inning of the last game of the year with the Indians Saturday set Senators down, defeated 4 to 2. Tom Drehan, who made his initial bow as a Senator when he essayed to whip the Hoosiers, pitched good ball but he was not quite the equal of the laddie Link, who with southpaw delivery had the Coyotes hoodooed all the way.

Boston, Sept. -Work started this afternoon on the erection of additional stands for world's series spectators at Fenway park. Detailed plans have not been made public by the Redsox management, but it is understood that stands will be built in deep centerfield and along first base line. Another new stand will be built to the left of the grandstand along third base line.

CHIEF LAROY HAS FUN WITH CHAMPS Sachm's High Olass Hurling Makes Minneapolis Victory Impossible. MILLERS LOSE GAME IN OPENING INNING Fred Olmstead and Bill Burns Work on the Mound. out six.

Militia Didn't Help. By Joe McDermott. cards seem to be stacked against Columbus. When Minneapolis takes day off Friend Friel generally insists on letting some hick team hammer the hay out of his club and whenever he wins. Fate, as a rule, decrees that the Millers should win the same day.

Yesterday on the wind-swept stretches of Lexington pasture, St. Paul triumphed over the Champs. The Senators had a brilliant chance to get back into the running a bit, but instead succumbed to Indianapolis. Let the boys from Ohio's rube village keep on and they will kick themselves down the back stairs and out into the alley while Minneapolis is floating along to another pennant. Minneapolis took 8 3 to 1 beating yesterday.

Chief Laroy did it. He sat tight for nine full innings and smiled with the stoicism of his race as the Murderers swung wildly at his stuff or popped gently to the in and outfield. In one round, the second, the locals did concentrate their attack and two blows and a sacrifice fly put over one run and made them feel a little better even though they did not win the contest. The sachem had a big day and in addition to standing the home guards on their beans for seven hits, he struck The Millers made a desperate stand in the very last ditch in the later rounds of the battle but they were routed horse, foot and dragoon with never a chance to win. Even the militia was called out toward the finish, but Larov made marks of them all.

Ferris, Smith, Unglaub and Allen were the brave reserves who failed to put crimp in the work of Mr. Laroy. Fred Olmstead toiled for six innings and his high-class work would have won the game if Laroy hadn't been quite as good as he was. Olmstead slabbed in clever style, but lost the game in inning No. 1 when he allowed three miserable little singles and then hit a batter, all of which resulted in 8.

brace of tallies. the hardworked young man tightened up hig figuratively speaking galluses, pulled himself together and proceeded to hurl shutout ball. Killefer and Gill, however, combined to act as the skeleten at the feast in the fifth session and another Paul run was registered without a hit. They put the blankets on Olmstead in the seventh inning when the management got a hunch that W. Smith would lead the clan into the promised land.

Wilbur was sent in to bat for valiant pitcher and struck out while the crowd was giving vent to mingled emotions. William Burns, stellar hurler of the left fin, raconteur, ranchman and soldier of fortune, took up the pitching responsibilities as a result and did all that could be asked for a lost cause. He showed the down-river villagers how to commit a balk that is not a balk and get away with it, and otherwise amused himself, but to no avail. And all the time the vulgar St. Paul adherents were hurling jibes at our venerable old men.

It was not a pleasant thing for said vets, and they did not like it in the least. Fun for Fans. Interest was added to the occasion by the presence of a St. Paul rooter who had managed to get his hide full of raz before hostilities began. He draped himself over the grandstand and boxes at the start of the row and kept in evidence throughout.

They like that sort of stuff (meaning the rooting) in St. Paul, and the coarse proletariat from the swinepickling city seemed to enjoy the entertainment afforded by Friend Souse. Couldn't Make It Go. The Millers made believe they were starting a rally in the ninth, but it proved to be one of their little jokes. Killefer began by drawing a base on balls, and Hobe Ferris was summoned to take Delahanty's place at the platter.

Billiken hit one clear to Hinchman for one out, and Colonel Unglaub was called upon to act in lieu of Dr. Gill. Unglaub was taken from the coaching lines and his makeup WaS wonderful to behold. The Saints uttered a small protest against Unglaub getting into the gam on account of the garments in which he was draped. Toseph's oft-mentioned coat had nothing on Unglaub's makeup which appeared to consist of one-half a pajama and a section of a Mother Hubbard.

He was allowed to continue, though, and popped out. Then Allen was called upon to replace Burns and he hit one all the way to Laroy. Curtain. The scorer Minneapolis- et AB BH 0 PO A Clymer, Altizer. 88 Williams, 2b Rossman, rf 00 Killefer.
