The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-11-08

the. second half the Minnesota men
had proved to themselves that they
were fully the equals of their oppo-
nents, and during the second half they
were strictly in the game.
Minnesota kicked off, but the ball was
soon back to center, and in the hands
OF the Michigan players. 1t moved
| back and forth ainlesSfy across the
field, until at length q terrific punt
sent it to the Minnesota line. Michigan
then made a determined effort to score.
The Minnesota men We're as determined
that they should not. Rush after rush,
within the Minnesota 30-yard Line, made
Sood gains Tor the Wolverines, and
scon the jingle of the, Michigan COW
bell in the bieachers announced that
the bali had crossed the lire 1t was
brought out, and kick for goal made
the score siX-love. Minnesota started
second time and
PLAYED LIKE TIGERS.
A beautiful deceptive play sent Cole
/ half across the field, and within
20 yards CT the Michigan goal This
was the play. LoomiS was ordered
back as for q kick The Michigan play
ers prepared for the kick, and before
they could recover, Cole was flying
across the field entirely lacking of in
! terference. 1t was great, and the root
! ers in the grandstand went wild. The
/ play was followed by series of rushes
/ in which the Michigan line was probed
/ again and again. A touchdown was
the result. The ball, however, went
! across the goal line at the far corner
! Of the field, where a straight for goal
was impossible The ball was kicked
! out to Loomis, who caught it, but so
/ close to the goal posts, that a kick
/ for goal was easily stopped by the
Michigan players This kick gave
Michigan the game. In fact, it may be
said that the difference in playing be-
/ tween the two teams was the point on
/ the goal line across which the ball hap
pened to be carried
AS whole, the game was played al
! most without an error from beginning
! to end. There was one bad pass of the
ball, but no other fumbles. Consider
| ing the slippery condition Of the ball
and the ground, this is a remarkable
/ statement. Both teams were we'll cap
! tanned, and the Minnesota team are
! unanimous in according to John Harri-
son his full share Of credit for the game
By the game, Michigan carries off the
championship of the Northwest, but
she certainly carries no credit from
the local team Michigan will have to
| admit that the locals are fully their
| equals and gave them as good as they
brought The result OF the game will
be an annual game with Michigan,
which for the past few years has not
! been assured, Michigan preferring to
play with Eastern institutions. If the
Minnesota team line up against Madi-
son as they played yesterday, they will
wipe the ground with the Badgers
Although defeated, the students Of
the University are we'll pleased over
the game, and look upon it as a, virtual
victory. The Michigan boys came to
Minneapolis with all kinds Of money in
their pockets, and could find no takers
They were going to shut Minnesota out
Of the game, and for themselves run up
a large score.
GAME IN DETAIL.
1t was just o'clock when the Minnesota
team appeared on the field, and only a few
mn ats,n 1ntervened before the team from
the other state showed up. Each was greet
ed with prolonged cheering from the root
erS, Michigan accompanying her cheers with
big COW bell.
! After little preliminary parlevine over the
ground rules, the toss made and ''Hink-
ey Harrison winning, took the wind
promptly at S;l1 Galley kicked off for Michi-
gan, and the great game for the champion
ship of the West was on. Harrison caught
the pail and travelled ten yards before be-
! ing downed. Loomis started the act with
making eight yards around right end. Then
a couple of fumbles occurred and things
looked bad for the Gophers, as Michigan
got the ball on the second tumble. Then a
light-haired young man, Galley by name hit
the line three times, each for two-yard gains.
Ferbert was next given the ball and tried
! Harrison's end for a gain, but the Copher
captain there, and the best Mr. Fer
bert could do two yards Galley seemed
to be the man who was depended upon for
| gains.
1t was looking bad for Minnesota, as Mich
1gan had the ball on her eighteen-yard line
! and and seemed to be gaining at will. Mighty
1@'Count' Villa next tried, but he could
not gain, as Fulton thought it was not best
Galley next did the act for three yards, and
IN 90 f,.1T
hurt and retired in favor of Duffy. The
men from Michigan were magnifcently
stopped on the next play, while a tumble
gave the ball to Minnesota, Finlayson and
George Smith having it all to themselves
at the bottom of the heap.
.r HARRISON "opens opened up with ten-yard gain
smashed into the line for three and a half;
young Smith made one and a half; Finlay-
son tried center for two. Bagley made one;
Looms and Harding each good for a
couple; Harrison tried it again for four;
LOOMS hit the line for and a half, and
then sent joy into the hearts of the wearers
of the maroon and gold by taking a skate
around right end, past Senter, for pretty
run OF thirty yards. Somebody then
dropped the ball, but Harding was there
Finn was hurt in the melee. but could not
leave the field while the crowd yelled. BagIey
was sent around the left end for two and
a half. and Harrison made eight around
Senter. Then a tumble gave Michigan the
ball on her own thirty-yard line.
Michigans advantage is not taken how
ever, Iof tunDle hnGs the ball in George
Smiths hands. 1t looks as if the Goph-
ers would score and enthusiasm runs riot
! Harding leaped into the line for a couple.
Bagley makes another couple, while Harding
follows by three more The ball is now on
the ffteen-yard line. Harrison took it five
nearer around the right end. Minnesota
was surely going to score, but it does not
materialize, for something happens which
gave Michigan the ball. Duffy connects his
foot with the pig-skin, Cole getting the ball
at the ffty-yard line. Then an off side play
gave Minnesota ten yards. The combination
was out of joint, for Minnesota could not gain
and the ball went back to Michigan Duffy
kicked high in the air and attempted to nut
his men on side, but Harrison got the ball
before the intention fulfilled. Tiegen
was sent around the right end for two wards
Loomis tried center for three: Harding and
Bagley made a COUPLE LOOMS hit the line
held, kick. was attempted. but Fulton snap
ped the ball over LOOMS head. The full
back got the ball, however, but as five had
not been gained or twenty lost the ball went
to Michigan.
Ferbert was the first man tried, and he
made a couple, followed by four by the
Count" Off side gave them five more Of
the precious yards. Galley hit the line for four
and Villas lost three on the next play Fer
bert could not regain the ground, and the
ball went to Minnesota on downs. Only two
yards could be gained by the Gophers which
made a kick necessary. The ball went well
into Michigan territory, Duffy getting it. He
attempted run, but "Hinkey' Harrison
there. Duffy then kicked but the wind
carried the bali high allowing Michigan to
get on side, Bennett taking the ball. As he
caught it Harrison made the prettiest tackle
of the day. downing his in his tracks.
Capt. Senter, after going into the game un-
der protest of his trainer, is compelled to
give up, and Hutchinson takes his place.
Galley opened up with ten-yard run around
left end. Duffy made four through center
and Galley tried his end again for three. Fer
