GOPHERS WILL LOSE WALKER

Minnesota Tackle Announces He Will Leave Minnesota and Enter Some Eastern College. Jim Walker; star tackle of the University of Minnesota football team for the last two years, all-western tackle for two years and all-American for 1910. has very probably played his last game of football for the Gophers. Walker, according to the report, will leave Minnesota and enter some big eastern university, likely Yale. Walker has made an enviable record on the football field with the Gophers. He was the unanimous choice for all-western tackle in both-1909 and 1910, and his ability was further recognized during the season recently closed. Walter Camp picked him for

his all-American eleven, the highest honor In football. Walker’s loss to Minnesota would be a severe one and his presence on any line of any eastern university would add great strength to the fortunate te^n.
