The university football team seldom
runs up a score of 500, but yesterday,
at Athletic park, in Minneapolis, in
the game between the university and
the Central high school, of Minneapo-
lis, that score was made, and then in
Commute halves. The game was
marked by the many long runs which
the "U' men made, and the numer
Gus lay-outs which the high school
boys had. preventing anything like
fast game.
The game was opened by the kick
off by Central. Minnesota fumbled and
Central got the ball, but Immediately
lost 1T, and after short drives into the
line by Loomis and Bagley, the ends
were tried, G. Walker making ten
yards around left end, and Harrison
pretty run of twenty yards for
touchdown. Although he stumbled and
was tackled, he regained his feet and
planted the leather between the posts.
No goal by Harrison. Score, 40.
Reibeth, who had been hurt, was re-
placed by j. Loomis. After the kick
gains and then lost the ball on fun
BILE, but held down the high school
backs, and Bagley cinehed the ball by
breaking through and tackling Parks
for loss Of five yards. Bagley, Fin
layson and Loomis, under fine inter-
ference, carried the ball to the five
yard line, and then Bagley carried it
over. Goal by Harrison. Score, 100.
Minnesota kept up the hard work
and by long runs and quick rushes
made another touchdown and Har-
rison kicked the goal. This made the
score 1870 fuE
The rest of the half was simply to
see how quick Minnesota could make
her touch-downs, the Central boys not
being able to make any gains to speak
of when she got the ball, which was
only on a tumble. The runs were
numerous and long. Bagley made one
Of about sixty yards, which was the
longest of the day Harry Loomis
made couple of nice long gains, and
Harrison was sent around the right
end for gains Of twenty to thirty-five
years. c. Walker was also good at
making gains around the opposite end.
The half ended with the score % to
in favor of the varsity. Finn" was
UP to his old tricks and stole the ball,
on one occasion running for thirty-five
yards and a touchdown, but 1t was
not allowed, as the man who had the
ball had called down"
The second half opened with Cole at
quarter, Jorgens' and Heath at the
tackles, Nicoulin at left guard, Adams
and Parker at the halves. And change
of kicks came at the beginning, and
when Glover returned E.to Loomis the
latter ran 40 yards before he was down
ed. Central got the ball and made
several good gains one Of five yards
by Stowell, which set the high school
rooters wild. Minnesota got the ball
and short quick work by the backs
forced a touchdown and Harrison miss
ed the goal. Score $40.
The kickoff carried the bali to
Heath, but he hesitated and only made
Is yards. Glover here was laid for the
last time and had to retire, O'Rielly
took his place at full and Simonds went
in at end. Glover had the wind knock
ed out Of him quite frequently, but still
played on in plucky manner. Loomis
took the ball down the side line for
so yards and Heath carried 1T over. A
goal by Harrison made the score $50.
1t was the same story for the rest
OF the game. The next touchdown was
made after so yards kick by Loomis,
and Scandrett, who had taken Harri-
sons place. had made a neat run
al cund right end. LOOMS kicked the
goal. Score 40. Before the next
touchdown the Central boys came very
near scoring. They made several short
gains, making their five yards couple
| of times, and then Stewell took skate
| around the end for 10 yards and cleo
trified his schoolmates on the side lines.
For the first time the ssnappy high
yell rang out. A couple of gains and
| the linesman called zone yard to gain -
But Fulton took hand in the proceed
ings and before the ,halfq could move,
| he had broken through land downed
him for a loss of several yards. Adams
| received an injury and aColwell took
his place. Yea
The ball was now on Minnesota's 10
yard line, but it soon reached the other
| end after Is yards by Loomis, short
rushes by Jorgens, c.. Walker and Col
well, a 20-yard run by Scandrett and
80 by Parker for touchdown. Loomis
kicked the goal. Only half a minute
remained to play, and the game ended
with a score of 800 for the varsity
Minnesota's men all did good work
with a few exceptions. She was weak
est in her backs, only one man being
able to use his head. Bagley made
many long gains behind few interior
ences, and Adams was hard on the de-
Tense.
For the Central, the work Of Parks,
! Stowell, O'Reilly, Weston and Glover
was especially good. The entire team
made g. good showing. Taking into
consideration the general Improvement
IN the varsity team, the showing OF
the Central boys places them on pretty
even grounds with South side high.
The lack of proper training quarters
of course, makes their condition and en-
durance poor. The attendance at the
game was not large. only about 500 peo-
pie turning out. The teams lined
up as follows:
