Gophers aad Michigan Meet After
Three .Yeara Rest.
ST. PAL" IV Minn.. March . Minnesota
undergraduates are already talking about
tha resumption of foot ball relations with
Michigan. The Wolverines will meet the
Gophers at Minneapolis on November 20,
and a revival of the stirring etnigglea of
former yeara bids fair to ensue. The match
means much to both Michigan and
Minnesota. It marks the re-entering of
the western fold by the Ann Arbor col
legians after a three-year unsuccessful
campaign in the east, and the gridiron
gam will be boomed considerably at Min
nesota by a' contest with this rival of
former seasons. Northrop field, the new
arena of the Gophers, will be remodelled
and plana are being made for the erection
of new steel bleechers costing ItO.OOO.

Mahoney has been an actlva competitor
In athletlca for fifteen years, and yet has
found time to win one of the moat Im

of the city of New Tork. He made his
start as a boy In 'the public schools with
nothing but good health and a square Jaw.
After finishing high school, Mahoney went
through New Tork college for the degree
of bachelor of arts. Then he got a Job as
teacher anil taught in both day and night
schools. Not being satisfied with this
amount of work Mahoney took up the
study of law In Ney Tork university.
Here he took two degrees, bachelor of
laws, and maater of laws. Besides these
he hmotd the degrees of master of arts
from St. Francis Xavler's college. In 19O0
Mahoney graduated and became assistant
counsel to the controller of New Tork
City. In November. 1908. he rose to be
chief counsel to the controller, which
position ' he now occupies. Mahoney la

by the Vnlted States National lawn Tennis
association, but apparently this ia only one
of the moves made simply as a form which
have been ao common In the history of the
Davis cup. tt is b- no means certain that
a team will be sent, and much remains
to be cleared up.
