The game in 1880 was the first game
played with a team outside OF the
state. and it was a great day for the
Minnesota boys. Their victory was
very complete. The next year saw the
formation of the four-cornered league
with Michigan, Northwestern, Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota as the colleges.
The Minnesota team won the cham
pionship every year for three years
and then ended the league by refusing
to play any more games under the old
conditions. The Minnesota team prac-
tfcally supported the others, yet had
the greatest expenses to bear, having
to travel farther and, being the only
college in a large city, she never OBJ
tanned anywhere near her share of the
expenses while away on trip. On the
either hand when the other teams
played in Minneapolis, she was just as
bad off for the other teams took their
share and made money by the deal,
while Minnesota invariably finished
the season with a big debt.
In 1893, after defeating both Michi-
gan and Northwestern on the trip
East, the G0phers began practice for
the Wisconsin game. All the reports
from Wisconsin told of the wonderful
showing Of the Badgers, and offers
to bet and give odds on the Wisconsin
was scared, but not discouraged, They
intended to finish the season a victor,
and accordingly made arrangements
with "Wally" Winter, tackle of the
Yale, for two years previous, to coach
the team. Winter found Well-devel-
Oped men, schoOled in the fundamental
principles of the game. but without
any ideas on interference. SO he spent
one week in drilling that idea into the
backs and line men. The result is we'll
known. Score, 400
Never for an instant was the Wis
cOnSin team able to stop the ruSheS Of
the Minnesota men, The interference
swept by the ends or through the line
as solid mass, completely OVerWhelm-
ing the Badgers. They have never
forgiven that defeat, and their chief
ambition is to administer a thorough
beating to Minnesota upon her own
grounds. With that idea they are COM
ing to Minneapolis next Saturday.
In 1894 Minnesota was defeated at
Madison because of an injury to one
of her men, Cutler having been stunned
and not seeing the full back as he
came down the field.
In 1895, Minnesota defeated the
Badgers by making three touchdowns
to their two. each side kicking one
goal for a score of IA to TO-
Last year Wisconsin just won out at
Tie very last moment anu at q Cl1nG
when it looked like a tie game. Both
of the defeats that have been suffered
by Minnesota were only by one touch
down, while on the other hand Mime
sofa has nearly every time swept the
Badgers down like grain.
1t is interesting to note that but two
of the members of the teams that met
in 1894 are still playing. Finlayson was
center on the Minnesota team and
Capt. Harrison was playing his fresh
man year at end. Capt Riordan, of
Wisconsin, was a sub" guard that
year Loomis played the next year,
as did Gregg, for Wisconsin. Last year
Comstock, Peele, Riordan and Gregg
were on the Wisconsin team and Har-
risOn, Loomis FinlaysOn, Cole, Smith
and Scandren on Minnesota.
The team still keeps at practice be-
hind locked gates, and no one but the
team subs and coachers are allowed
inside. The alumni players are begin
ming to gather in large numbers, and
last night a couple of additions to the
already large force was made. "Billy"
Dalrymple, the crack end of the team
for the three years 80, '93 and '94, and
his brother Jack" the finest tackle
that ever played on Minnesota, being
a member of the teams of '94 and '95,
were out They arrived from Duluth
yesterday noon ready to help in every
possible way. Their attention to the
team is said to have resulted in a great
Improvement In the end and tackle
play. Jack Dalrymple is especially
valuable just at this time. for he and
"BiIly" Walker played together, and as
a pair of tackles they have had few
equals. He and Walker paid particular
attention to Nicoulin and Finlayson,
and it is predicted that when the
team lines up against Wisconsin next
Saturday the strongest place in the
line will be the tackles. "Billy"
