COPHER-BADGER GAMETODAY Betting at Madison Favors Team from | Minnesota. LAST” SCRIMMAGE WEDNESDAY Loss of MeGovern Johnston by Willlams’ Pupils Gives Heart to Wisconsinites — Record Crowd Expee MADISON, Wis,, Nov. 12.—(Special.)—On the eve of the game to decide the western champlonship, the rooters are stiil up in the alr. Odds in favor of Minnesota stand at 2 to 1, with very few bets being posted The reason for this uncertainty ls the erratic form which the team has shown in practice this week. Monday it was good. Tuesday It was the worst shown this sea- jon. Wednesday the varsity piowed through the freshmen In fine style, What they can do on Saturday is so much & mat- ter of speculation that. none fesls lfke risk- ing his money on it. The last scrimimage before the game was on Wednesday. One thing that has slowed up the var- aity's play Is the new signals, It is now practically certain that both Indiana and Northwestern were wiso to Wisconsin's signals, which may explain something of the poor shewing the team made, At any rate, ‘& compléte new set has been learned for the rest of the season, along with a number of new plays Barry has devised to surprise the Gophers. During the last week the fleld has been guarded by student mar- shals, and on one occasion Schuknecht, Minnesota’s assistant coach, was forced to leave the field under protest. This Incident has caused the conches considerable un- easiness. Mackmillar, the big guard, was relegated to the subs this week, his place being taken alternately by Iakisch and Neprud. This change came us a great surprise to all Jocal fellowers of the game, Who had re- rded Mack as a fixturé in the left side of the line. It is possible that he may go in tomorrow, but present indications point to Iakisch as the man. A rumor that “Keckie” Moll had been again suspended caused much excitement in the student quarter Tuesday night, but found to be without foundation. Boyle 1s back In the game again. He will have to play the game of his life against Walker, the Gophers' glant right tackle, but those who have watched “Butch’ this year feel that he will more than hold his own. Wilee Has Bad Knee. Captain Wilce has been out of scrimmage most of the time with a bad knee, while Culver, the star half, has had much trouble with his ankie. However, the two days without scrimmage have given the cripples a chance to recover and not one of the regulars will be missing from the lineup when the whistle blpws tomorrow afternoon. | Wisconsin's lineup is: Left end, Bunker (160); left tackle, Boyle (185); left guard, Iakisch (176); center, Arpin (162); right guard, Buser (180); right tackle, Ost- hoff (185); right end, Dean (150); quarter, Moll (153); right halfback, Anderson (169); left halfback, Culver (165); fullback and captain, Wilce (170). The average welght is about five pounds less than Minnesota. Wisconsin is consid- erably outwelghed in the line and it is the line plunges of Rosenwald and Plckering that are most feared. The greatest crowd ever assembled at Camp Randall will witness the game. All seats in the extra bleachers erected have been sold and the “8. R. O.” sign Is out. A large delegation will come from MIl. waikee and another from Minneapoli ‘Wiscansin is famaus for its rooting and Whatever the outcome of the game the yells will be loud and long. A vietory for Minnesota will give the Gophers a clear title to the champlonship of the west. Should Wisconsin happen to win it will stll have to conquer Chicago, the team which has been the Badger hoodoo for years. GOPHER .

Today Coach Griffith gave the men only the lightest sort of signal drill and he ex- pects by means of this week's light prac- tice to have the men full of “pep” for the most_{mportant game on the lowa sched- ule from point of state interest. The candidates for guard and center were 1ined up against one another and with a_few of the backs the serimmage was held. one another the scrimmage was fast and furious. but the showing of the linesmen are expressed by Griffith, Eby, Moors and Hastings over the powerful Ames back field. There is 1ittla resembling optimism in Jowa City. The students are doubtful Thev are hoping aainst hope that the eleven will find ftself for seventy minutes round trip in & day coach. There is no enance cf a further reduction, and many a | hard-up student will be forved to remain ut | home and give only his mental support o the team. In spite of the high rate to Madison at least one, and possibly two, special trains will be run to the Wisconsin earital Friday night. Minnesota rooters and players are op- | timistic over the chances for victory. All realize that the game will be a far more serfous affalr than the game against Chi- ©cago, but the spirit shown by the team all slong, in spite of all discouragements, is | counted on to pull out a victory against the boys of Coach Barry. McCree, the powerful tackle who played such havoc witn Stags’s much-touted line, will in all probabllity be out of the game., He tustained a slight fracture of a small | bone in his right arm during practice this week and although not igjured serlously it is thought that Wiliams will take no chapoes and keep him on the side lines. 1t fie will not be In shape by that time Pete Ostrand, the veteran tackle and guard of last year, will perhaps take his place. It is almost certain Pettijohn will play quaiter and Jimmy Vidal will be the prob- | cheics for “Petty’s” place at left end.

CHANGES MADE IN CONSTITUTION President O'Nelll of Western Leagne is Appointed Member the National Board of Arbi- tration MEMPHIS, Aenn, Nov. 12-The exten- #lon of the life of the National Assoclation of Minor Leagues of Professidnal Base Ball clubs until September 6, 1921, and the selection of Chicago as the next meeting place were the principal features of the closing session of the annual meeting of the association here today. The National Board of Arbitration will probably remain here until Saturday disposing of the large number of cases on its calendar The National Assoclation’ made one or two other changes In its constitution eon- cerning the slgning of contracts, the pro- motion of the welfare of the players and the punishment to be meted out to those who fall to live up to their contracts or violate thelr reserve clauses. Suggestions concerning the flat drafting price from all leagues and a change In the method of classification were referred to the Na- tional board. It was decided that the National board should meet several days before the Na- tional assoclation in tne future and thus clear up all the minor cases before the big meeting Is started. Agreement is Renewed. The committee on the reviston of thé constitution recommended that the Na- tlonal assoclation renew the agreement for ten years or untll September 6, 1921. The present agreement was entered into at Chicago on September 6, 1001, and was to run for ten years, or until 1911. Some mem- bers were of the opinion that the agree- ment expired fn 1910 and it was desired to renew it this year rather than to take any chances of some of the members feeling that it expires next September. President Norris L. O'Nelll of the West- ern league and W, H. Lucas of the North- west league voted agalnst the renewal of the agreement at this time, advancing the theory that next year would be a better time to do it. Both O'Nefll and Lucas stated thai they i not want it thought they were against the renewal of the agreement but that their negative vote was simply a protest against the renewal at this time. Chicago was awarded the next annual meeting of the assoclation over Loufsville, The vote on the question was nine for Chicago, five for Loulsville, two for Rock Island and one for New York. The cam- palgn for Chicago was led by President O'Nelll of the Western league. Several members were In favor of holding the meeting In a minor eentral loeation of Chicago won the battle. O'Nelll voted the proxies of J president | State league for Chicago. | of the players was adopted. New Contract Rule. A rule providing that' players muat be contract before they can play a e with a club was also adopted. For- merly the time allcwed to a player to sign |a contract varied from seven to fifteen days or games. It was also decided to follow in the wake of the major leagues In the punishment of contract and reserve jumpers. The new rule provides a suspension of five years for breaking a contract and three years for violating a reserve. Furman Smith of the Carolina assocla- tion, advocated the adoption of a flat drafting price from the four classes of jcagues and the matter was referred to the Naflonal board for action, the idea being that if & player from a Class D league is considered worthy of draft by a major league club then he is worth as much to that club as a Class A player. A. D. Heins of the Roanoke, Va., league club asked that the classification of a league be based upon average population of its clrcult. The question was referred to the National board. Heins advanced the theory that the present rule did not do justice to leagues having only four or six clubs in thelr circults. Following Is the present basis of classi- fication and that proposed.
