...regulations on anyone, Indian or white, hunting or fishing on the reservation. After threats of violence between whites and Indians, Minnesota authorities secured a temporary injunction restraining the Chippewas from regulating white activities. But the state went along with the tribe's opening move: shortening the deer-hunting season on the reservation to three days in early November. In most of the surrounding area, the season lasted nine days...
...reserve some types of hunting and fishing for Indians alone. If they succeed, hardly any white sportsmen would drive up from Minneapolis-St. Paul. Over dinner in his kitchen, Bob Bruns, owner of Whaley's Resort, gloomily reports that last year he had 46 reservations for deer season; this year he had only three. Says Bruns, who quit his job as a welding supervisor in the Twin Cities eight years ago to move to the reservation: "We figured we had the world by the tail until this thing came up.

The Crusaders' final regular season game against Mount Healthy was typical. Despite a driving rain that turned the field into a swamp, the flashy Moeller offense still operated in high gear, rolling up five touchdowns...
Faust works his players year round on weight-training equipment, but otherwise there are few frills and fewer regulations for Moeller's football stars. With no home field, the Fighting Crusaders played in seven different stadiums during their ten-game regular season, occasionally cramming into a single bus to save money. As for curfews, Faust says: "I tell them that if they have a solid reason for staying out past 12:30, then they can stay out. They've never given me a reason." But the coach does have one firm player rule: "They better conduct themselves...
