Minneapolis. Minn., Nov. 15. Indications are that the largest crowd that

ever saw a football g-ame here will be present at Northrup field this afternoon when Stagg's Maroons and Williams' Gophers combat with the football honors of the conference at stake. Minnesota is prepared to take care of 30,000 persons, and to all appearances there are twice that number who want to see the frame. Not a reserved seat was to be had yesterday at the grounds, and speculators were asking- from $5 to $25 for the coveted pasteboards. Early yesterday morning: one man paid $76 for three box seats. Scalpers were asking; $10 apiece, and it was thought all would be sold before the game. Early yesterday morning crowds began pouring into the city. Every hotel was filled and turning people away. The one topic of conversation was football. The trains from the northwest brought several thousand visitors and others poured in from Wisconsin, Iowa, and all points in Minnesota, If tbe weather of yesterday continues the players will have ideal conditions for the important game. It was clear and bright, with a tang of ' frost In tbe air, but still warm enough to be comfortable for the spectators. Northrup field hat been buried in ten inches of hay for several days, and this covering was removed yesterday to let the sun dry up the surface of the gridiron.

THE BIG contest on the gridiron at Yale between the eleven of Old Eli and Princeton's Tigers this afternoon has sent to New Haven the biggest crowd in the history of thpse matches. The playing of both of there teams has been so far from what was expected of them this season that it is a very difficult matter to guess which will take t'others scalp. Lang ford, who has done such splendid work this season, will referee the gam, while the umpire and linesmen, respectively, will be. Snow and Fulls. The disabling of some of its best men has hoodooed the right wing of Yale's eleven this fall, and Princeton has had troubles of Its own. Shifts are promised in the big lineups until the very last minute, so that it would take the same prophet who guessed who would make up the teams to figure out which one will win. If you are in doubt, however, take the side which has the greater claim among the best friend you ever had.

PUGILISTIC NOTES. Pakey McFarland artarted training yesterday at O'Connell's for his tenround bout with "Kid" Alberts at Water bary. Conn, on Friday night. Paekey will stay In training for several other contests which have been closed. Promoter Wlttmeyer of Cincinnati was In the city yesterday, and after an Interview with Packey McFarl&nd. learned the Chlcagoan would not fight Billy Griffith unless allowed to go in

tbe ring at catch weights The bout was scheduled In the Ohio city for 4Joe Mjanflot, the southern lightweight, yesterday was matched to box eight rounds with Patsy Drouillard at Windsor on December 10. The weight will be 133 pounds at S o'clock. Mandot boxed four interesting rounds with. "Chick" Marks at Lewis' gymnasium In preparation for this contest. Nate Lewis, manager of Tim O'NelL the Irondale middleweight, yesterday received an offer from Denr promot-

EVERYBODT who could not go to New Haven is staying right here in good old New York to witness the struggle between Carlisle and Dart

mouth at the Polo grounds, which have been transformed into a gridiron. Both of these colleges have played good football this season, but the odds are slightly in favor of Dartmouth, whose season ends today with the Carlisle contest.

OTHER big games today are: Chicago vs. Minnesota, at Minneapolis. Pennsylvania vs. Michigan, at Ann Arbor. Northwestern vs. Indiana, at Evanston. Brown vs. Harvard, at Cambridge. Stanford vs. University of Southern California, at Stanford.

Rome of the best college runners in the east are entered for the event.

ers for O'Nell to meet Vic Hanson In a ten-round bout on Thanksgiving day. Negotiations are pending for O'Nell to meet George Chip at Racine, Wis., on November 25, and if Chip does not accept today, the western match will be closed. Jess Willard and his manager. Tom Jones, will leave today for Milwaukee, where Willard will box ten rounds with George Rodel on Monday night. Willard boxed eight rounds at the Madison street gymnasium yesterday. He will finish training today by boxing eight rounds at the same place. Rodel and his manager, Jimmy Johnson, will be in Chicago today on their way to the battle ground.

PURDUE COACH SEES VICTORY

Lafayette, Ind., Nov. 15. Two thousand Purdue rooters assembled on Stuart field last night and wished the football team godspeed on its journey to Urbana. The Boilermakers are in fine trim for a hard game and expect to show up stronger than ever before this season. Coach Smith told the rooters he expected a hard contest, but said Purdue should win. A special train left early this morning and several hundred rooters accompanied the team. Purdue places much reliance In its star back field and in the defensive strength of its forwards. Many new plays 'will be sprung on the mini.

DARTMOUTH TO PLAY CARLISLE New Tork, Nov. 15. Dartmouth and Carlisle are set for their battle at the Polo grounds today. This game, which is expected to be one of the most spectacular of the season if played upon a dry field, as seemed possible last night, should develop a remarkable exhibition of open football. Both the Indians and the Hanover team are extremely proficient in the forward pass and trick plays. Both also are strong in the fundamentals and tactics of close formation offense and defense. It is proba. that the contest will be of the rapid scoring variety, with advantage shifting first one way and then another. The two teams are

MICHIGAN GIVES UP

PLANS FOR RETURN Ann Arbor, Mich.. Nov. 15. Michigan will not return to the western football conference. The board regents at their November meeting yesterday took decided action against Michigan's return. At the same time

the regents called upon the students 1 to cease all conference agitation, and I

stated that Michigan's status in athletics is all that can be hoped for. They held themselves always In favor of efforts which would accomplish the results for which the western conference was originally organized. The action came at the end of a lengthy discussion. In a recent vote upon the question here the students and alumni voted against the return of Michigan, and this undoubtedly influenced the action of the regents yesterday.

New York, Nov. 15. T. II. (Tommy) Burns, internationally famous as a Jockey, either Jumped or fell beneath an elevated train in Ilrooklyn yesterday and was ground to pieces. No one saw the tragedy. The last person to see him was the station ticket seller, who remarked him pacing up ' and down the platform just before the train pulled in. His fur lined overcoat and hat were found on a bench. Diamonds, a silver cigarette case, a considerable sum of. cash, a bank book showing deposits in a Berlin bank, and a contract to ride there next season were found on the body. Burns spent last season abroad, but has been living at Sheepshead Bay recently. Presumably he was on his way home when killed. Tommy Burns was one of the world's

leading jockeys and was reputed wealthy. He rode for such owners as W. C. Whitney, William C. Daly and several years ago carried the colors of the German emperor, whose entries raced under the name of Count Lehndorf. He was married and had two children.

Two Doubles and Two Singles Net Three in Ninth at San Francisco.

yesterday afternoon finished Tenn's preparation for the Michigan battle of 1913. It was secret, but It is understood that Chester Minds took part. This report led to the publication of a

story that he was not as badly injured ! as has been thought and would play I today. Coach Brooke denied this, how

ever. It was announced that Marshall will not start the game. Merrill was the man who ran the team through the practice.

HANS WAGNER'S FATHER DEAD , Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 15. John Peter Wagner, aged 76, father of John "Hans" Wagner, veteran shortstop of the Pittsburg National league club, is dead in his home at Carnegie. He was born In Germany and in early years was a coal miner. Later he was ticket taker at Exposition park, the old grounds of the Pittsburg club. He retired several years ago. Six children survive.

LITTLE CHANCE FOR WAD DELL Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 15. In spite of his belief of a week ago that he was suffering only from a slight attack of bronchitis George E. Waddell, famous as a baseball pitcher and known everywhere as "Rube," left Minneapolis last night to begin a battle with tuberculosis at San Antonio, Tex. A short time ago a story was current that "Rube" had fallen a victim to the white plague. At that time he scoffed the Idea and said he was suffering from nothing more serious than a severe cold contracted while on a hunting trip In northern Minnesota. Since then he has been growing steadily weaker and has been In bed for several days at his home here. Waddell will go to the home of his sister at Sa Antonio. His physician said Waridell's chances for recovery are slight. Ever, under the most favorable circumstances, he said. It is doubtful If "Rube" ever will be able to pitch another game. Waddell himself Is not optimistic; he says he Is going to try his best, but fears he will fail.

ILUNI HOPES VANISH; POGUE OUT OF GAME Champaign, 111., Nov. 15. Illinois, changed almost beyond recognition by Coach Zuppke, who will start four new men against Purdue today, is braced for a grim, uphill struggle against the Boilermakers. Little hope of victory is entertained, but a big homecoming crowd will witness the contest, Zuppke shifts last night included the use of two subs. Graves and Derby, who will start today. Fullerton and Slebens, sub linemen, will play the guards. As generally expected, there is no chanctf--for Pogue to play, and Wagner will be the pilot, with Johnny Silkman in reserve. The contest is regarded as all the more dubious with all these changes. Purdue's contingent arrived this forenoon. It is estimated that 8.000 persons will see the game. The Illinois lineup will be: Left end. Graves; left tackle, Pruitt; left guard, Fullerton; center, Watson; right guard, Siebens; right tackle. Chapman; right end, Derby; quarter back, Wagner; left half back, tiue; right half back, Schoblnger; full back, Rowe. GOV. FERRIS

OPPOSES BOXING Lansing, Mich., Nov. 15. Gov. Ferris has resumed his war on the boxing game in Michigan and will take particular pains to prevent Chicago fighters from coming into the state for exhibitions. He has asked the attorney

. general for a detailed opinion of how far he can exercise his authority i against them. "My plans are to punish those who violate their laws rel- ! ative to prize fighting, and I shall not hesitate one bit i nhaving such laws enforced," he said today. "The trouble with boxing exhilbtions is that they go too far. Last year at least one if not two men met their death in this state as a result of the BO-called boxing exhibitions. I notice that In Kalamazoo, Chicago pugilists are being booked for the first exhibition and that

has a bad look on the face of it."

KID

KANSAS FACES CLABBY

Buffalo, N. T.. Nov. 15. Eddie Clabby of Hammond was defeated last night by "Kid" Kansas In the fourth round. The ligaments in bis shoulder blade, which caused the postponement of a bout last week, were again injured. His manager, seeing his condition, threw up the sponge. I"p to that time it was a great fight.

San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 15. Staging a ninth inning rally that disproved to the 6.000 fans any idea that exhibition ball Is necessarily to be burlesqued, the reinforced AVhite Sox faced a two run lead as they opened the last inning of the game, and by dint of much slugging beat the Giants 3 to 2, making two straight for themselves in the Bay itis schedule. It was a case of hard swatting that turned dfeat into victory, slugging that drove Arthur Fromme from the slab, with Jeff Tesreau doing the relief stunt. '" Fromme and Leverenz faced each other when the game was called, and for a greater portion of the game they pitched flawless ball. Leverenz might have stayed the game out, but Tom Daley was used as a pinch hitter and Bene twirled the last inning for the Sox. The St. Lo.uls heaver had allowed the Giants only five hits, and up to the sixth inning Snodgrass had the only single that was registered. Fromme was no touched to any extent until the quartet of singles and

doubles came in the ninth inning. Up

to that inning" the Sox had gathered only four hits, and save for an opening in the eighth they did not look to have a chancy to send their men around the bases. The New Yorkers scored In the sixth on an error by Chase. With Snodgrass and Magoe.out, Lobert hit to short and Chase dropped the throw. Doyle's smash against the right field fence put Lobert on third and the pair worked the double steal to tally the former. In the ninth a run was put over on Bens. A walk for Doyle was followed by Merkle's single. Doolan sacrificed the base runners along and Thorpe drove a hard one at the pitcher, Doyle scoring.

Pastime for Youth Only. A sixty-two-year-old Sydney man is dead as a result of injuries received while trying to "skin the cat," after watching his grandson perform the feat. "Skinning the cat" is one of the most fascinating of youthful pastimes, but let us remember, as we contemplate our gray hairs, that It is a youthful pastime only, and govern ourselves with commensurate dignity.

THE NEWSPAPER THAT GIVES THE NEWS AND TRUCKLES NO ONE THE TIMES,

Varicocele (Advertising Story No. 30) Varicoele is an injured or a diseased condition of the spermatic cord and testacle, the importance of which most men are aware. It is true that small varicoceles may exist for a long time and do but little if any harm, bin the tendency is to increase and to eventually destroy the entire vitality of the organ. When a man notices this mass of enlarged veins in the scrotum it is best to consult a specialist and have the matter attended to at once; for if it is left to develop it is much more difficult to cure. For the small and medium sized varicoceles, my treatment without the knife or any cutting procedure is practically painless and often does not detain the patient from work at all. If you are afflicted, I Invite you to call for an early consultation when I can tell you the extent of the -treatment your case demands. Remember, I treat all diseases of men, also all diseases of women, skin and rectal diseases, etc., etc. Consultation free. COME. Bp. Leedy Suites 32-33. Rimback Bids.
